What a beautiful way to spend a day- visiting City Park and walking through the Botanical Garden. There are clearly marked paths through all types of gardens with statues and public art along the sides. There's gardens inside the main building as well.

I really enjoyed being able to check out the gardens while in Nola. I try to visit Botanical Gardens in any city I visit. I enjoyed the kiddie area they had but it was closed however I'd love to visit with my kiddos. The customer service was average. No one really talked to us or offered a pamphlet/information. The best part is there weren't many people lol so we enjoyed taking silly selfies and skipping around the gardens. The sculptures had to be one of my faves as well. The location of the garden is great also because it's in walking distance to other venues like the art museums and cafe du monde. Overall I'd come back more than likely when the weather is cooler lol

Was playing tourist in the city and ended up at city parks, botanical gardens. This is a great place to spend a couple hours on a lazy we can afternoon just wandering around, relaxing with nature.As you explore around the only way you see various pleasant collection of plants along side walkway and a few enclosed garden areas with various themes, such as a rainforest. So if your local or a tourist and want a quiet get a get away to relax a I highly recommend the botanical gardens here. On a sidenote, two or three times a year city parks, sells plants and cuttings from here but you need to check the CityPark website for the rare times this happens.

Although it,' not very big, this is a gorgeous garden. It's very serene. Great place to commune with nature and appreciate the wonderful array of flowers, plants, and sculptures. The floral smells are simply divine. I love visiting here.

I'm a sucker for plants so this was one of my favorite things we did on our trip. We actually walked over after exploring the sculpture gardens at City Park. For $12 admission, this was one of the few attractions I thought was fairly priced. This place is a pretty decent size with plenty to look at both indoor and out. The layout was a little confusing or at least we didn't find the right flow to move through each space and the "hanger" (as in hunger-induced crankiness) took over my companions before we could see everything lol. It wasn't especially busy for a Saturday either - if you're looking for an affordable activity without too much of the crowds, the gardens might be a good option.

Earth Day is coming up and there's no better time to check out the New Orleans Botanical Garden (bonus: the weather is unseasonably cool for mid-April). It was Sunday in the park time, one of those nice Spring days when New Orleanians are all out to revel in the fact that it's not yet 95 degrees with 95% humidity. After strolling through the Sculpture Garden (also a must), we saw vendors from a flower show loading out (it was after 5pm). We realized we could go inside this area, a separate part of the park with an entry fee (they weren't charging so late in the day).What a find! It's all sculpted hedges and flower beds and little areas with swings. It was glorious to get on a swing for two and bask in the beauty of an almost secluded part of the park. I could have spent hours in this subtropical paradise and will remember it when I need a peaceful time.I really don't know what took me this long to find this beautiful little corner of City Park, but I'm glad that I found it.

I thought the Botanical Garden was very underwhelming -- even for $12. This is probably one of the least pretty least diverse gardens I've been to. The pictures on the website looks infinitely better than the real thing. Was in and out in 30 minutes.

Not a very big garden, but also not very expensive. Good place to hang out, see cacti, a train set, trees. I really liked the "prehistoric plants" section where you got to see the living fossils, which are mostly ferns and weird looking trees. There's also a surprise, which is there is a live Alligator Gar in one of the ponds and is just chilling there. I was shocked to see it and thought it was fake at first. But apparently they don't move very much unless they are attacking prey, which makes sense since they've been around since the Triassic period. Around the trains I ran into a friendly cat that rubbed bodies against my legs. There's a wedding venue area where you can host large events, and near the back, there is a stage you can do events, although it's a bit dim and was depressing to see during the day. But I think at night it would be nice with some string lights.

My God, the views! The New Orleans Botanical Garden is located within City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. It features a wide variety of plants and gardens, including the Rose Garden, Butterfly Walk, Japanese Garden, and more. It's a beautiful place to explore and enjoy nature in the heart of the city for the low cost of $12. I probably took around 100 photos, maybe more. You have to visit the garden if you're in the city of New Orleans, you won't regret it!
