Queen Creek Botanical Gardens

At $10 per person for a relatively small garden, it's a bit pricey, but it is a beautiful space for a stroll, and it has an operational industrial-age water mill, which makes for a great background for photos. In mid-February, there were blossoms in the trees, which was nice. The waterfall was not in operation when I went (on a Sunday afternoon).There are koi fish and chicken you can feed if you bring quarters. I wish they gave pamphlets with more information about the garden. I did see some signs with QR codes scattered around but would have liked actual signs with relevant information rather than having to pull my phone and scan a code.All in all, it's a neat little place. I would go back.

Queen Creek "Botani-Gall" Gardens - A Place Full of Audacity... (and a some plants).This is my second attempt at leaving a review because the owner flagged it and successfully got it removed.This place is a disgrace. I can't believe people willingly support a business run with such hostility. My partner and I wandered through the crowded grounds, eventually finding ourselves in what seemed like a hybrid of a garden and a half-hearted putt-putt course. There were no clear signs marking a designated starting point, nor any obvious indicators that certain paths were restricted to paying guests. A few flimsy, knee-high chain barriers displayed small "No Entry" signs--more of a mild suggestion than a serious deterrent.After strolling and sitting for about 15 minutes, we attempted to leave via a different exit, only to be ambushed by the owner. He immediately accused us of stealing from the garden because we weren't wearing wristbands, demanding to know why we were there. "Whose birthday? What's your niece's name? Where are you sitting?" It was like getting interrogated for trespassing in Narnia.I cut him off with, "Look, we didn't realize the cute little chain we stepped over meant we were in a paid section. We thought we were already in the garden and just following a path around the putt-putt. We had no idea there was an entrance fee--though honestly, for what little there is to see, I can't imagine paying for it."Rather than accepting this as an honest mistake, he went full passive-aggressive salesman, pitching the "incredible amenities" we had just unknowingly trespassed upon.Now, I get it. This probably happens to him all the time. But based on his sheer enthusiasm for confrontation, I'd wager he enjoys it. Instead of addressing the obvious design flaws--like the unclear entry points, the laughable excuse for a barrier, or the total lack of useful signage--he seems to prefer setting people up to fail so he can play the victim while berating them.Solution? Put up a real fence. Mark the entrance properly. Or, better yet, stop running a glorified backyard with all the grace of an airport customs agent.

Called and left two messages, sent an Instagram DM, and filled out the online form twice for an inquiry to an event but received no email or call back. Ended up doing the event somewhere else, and the garden's were still pretty, but I thought everyone/the business should know that either the phone, Instagram, voicemail, website forum, or all, aren't working.Also on the website, the FAQ page has outdated information:"Q: What are your hours of operation? A: Currently, we are open Saturdays from 9am-5pm." But on Google and the Home Page of the website it shows something different.

Made the trek to Queen Creek from the north valley to check the garden out today since it was slightly cooler out, and I'm so glad we went. I learned that everything in the garden is edible, and I loved brushing my hand over the rosemary- the beautiful smell is still lingering. We had the garden to ourselves and it was a great day for exploring. The garden is relatively small but I thought it was perfect for a stroll, and then you're back in the entertainment district. My one recommendation- the music from the main yard is very loud and doesn't fit the garden which is peaceful and serene- would be great if they installed small speakers with fitting music throughout the garden. Can't wait to see the garden at night sometime!

much smaller than advertised i feel like. We were told they don't allow photography anymore. Very disappointing that it's not more better advertised.

The Queen Creek Botanical Gardens may fall short of grandeur, with its compact size and venue-like setting. However, amidst its limitations, there lies a modest beauty. While the grounds may not sprawl as anticipated, the curated flora and quaint landscaping offer a brief escape into nature's embrace. The presence of a functional water mill and meandering streams adds a touch of rustic charm to the experience. Interactions with the friendly staff and the opportunity to observe koi in the pond provide fleeting moments of enjoyment. Despite its brevity, a visit to these gardens offers a brief respite from the ordinary.

Garden is smaller than it appears. Pond next to it is bigger than actual garden area. $10 per adult to walk around a small garden, eat a flower and rub a rosemary bush. There are better ways to pass time.

very nice beautiful venue great for a stroll in the morning or afternoon during the summer only suggestion as I think the pricing is a little expensive keep up the good works Queen Creek means more things like this botanical garden

We just went today for the first time and we didn't know what we were doing at first.. LUCKILY Sarah came along to give us a very detailed tour of all the plants that they grow and introduced us to their chickens/ turkey Rufus. While on our tour Sarah gave us the opportunity to try any of the fruit they grew! We were able to try any tangelo and it was the sweetest and juiciest one I've ever had. In my honest opinion this was one of the most pleasant gardens I have been to. Thank you Sarah! I definitely recommend this place to those that have not gone yet!

Can't believe they even charge for this. It took 10 minutes to walk through. Most plants dead or dormant.
