Reviews of Royal Botanical Gardens - Hendrie Park (Tourist Attraction)

Hungree Xplorer

Thr RBG have put on an amazing heartwarming winter wonderland show at Hendrie Park. This is a self guided walk through with several well lit displays. None of the liy displays have moving lights but that doesn't dampen the holiday spirit. A wonder evening with the family. Come dressed warm the walk will take a good 1 to 1.5 hours.

I can't wait to see the gardens in bloom! Winter was quite the lack-lustre time to visit. There should have been some steeper discounts on attending when there wasn't much to look at and the indoor area was barricaded by plants.

This holiday season the light work was decent, but not worth the cost it takes to get inside. Overall I really like the cleanliness of the building, and the garden is quite large to walk around.

Lovely. Relaxing. Beautiful. 3 gardens are included in admission. Too hot to walk the trail so we drove to 2. Follow the arrows at the rock garden. Some trails at RBG were closed off where social distancing isn't possible. The irises and peonies are finished right now so we didn't visit the 3rd park. The roses were mostly spent. Very few lilies. Maybe it's the heat. Wasn't overwhelmed with the flowers in bloom mid July. Next time I'll visit in June. The designs, ponds, atmosphere were still lovely.

fantastic park! That was a wonderful experience to be surrounded by colorful and different kinds of roses. Good sights for photographing everywhere.

We came late in the Blooming season also after multi day heat wave (end of August) so naturally the plants were not in their prime. I'm sure it's magnificent in spring time! The roses were stunning when we went though.

Lovely rose garden, vegetable garden and hiking trails. There is a small tea house that serves a nice selection of coffee and baked goods. There's a comfortable patio to lounge. The gift shop in the main building has great items at reasonable prices. Always worth having a browse. A recent discovery for us are the hiking trails beginning at Cherry Hill Gate. The trails are well kept, along with boardwalks and an assortment of cute critters along the way. We fed 3 chickadees out of our hands and some chipmunks. Also saw many ducks and 4 swans. Best spot for nature lovers. You won't be disappointed.

Great diversity of plants and flowers, colourful and well laid out. Good management of people flow with Covid regulations.

We've gone here about twice so far this year and its one of our favorites gardens to visit. Its such a huge place and they have other parts to explore, hopefully next year we will be able to see more of it. Kid friendly, plenty of parking, helpful and knowledgeable staff. We were able to attend the Winter festival this year and it was great!

A fantastic place to enjoy a family weekend. The kid really loves the Magic show.

Lina Di Giulio

Parking is free. The Christmas lights were beautiful. A great evening with the whole family. Enjoyed our hour walk in the gardens.

Maria Paula Arias Báez

Beautiful, as usual. The RBG after dark event was great! Good dj

Marcel Palmer

Great experience. Just good enough to get into the Christmas spirit. Just wish they had more fire pit stations to warm up quickly. But otherwise definitely worth it!

Michael Blair

First visit, loved it!! Appreciating the beauty of nature

Deepak Khanna

Awesome place to be there in group family or garden lovers

The collection is large and the grinds are large and well-kept. Staff is extremely friendly. It is an excellent way to spend a day outdoors, in the beauty of nature, while potentially staying entirely on paved surfaces. There are also hiking trails, etc.

We went to check this out so hubby can put in his youtube channel. We ended up upgrading to one year membership. Beautiful place ro visit, hold an event and or just rest. Its also pet friendly and Nala enjoyed her visit. We will definitely come back to visit the other parks.

A lovely reason to get out of the house. The snow had melted or it would have been even nicer. There was a line up to get in but it was maybe 10 minutes so not bad. There are snacks and drinks available at the tea house, we enjoyed hot chocolate as we walked.

Beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place to spend the day with someone or alone.

Fall Tour. Great overall experience even with autumn timing. Trails were well maintained, not as busy as in summer months. Staff was friendly and assisted with directions throughout the tour. Lots of room for kids to run and explore. Educational aspect was well displayed and easy to follow along. Would recommend for anybody looking for something different.

Great magical place..

Always love coming here. I found there was still a lot of interesting plants in the gardens this late in the year. The fennel out in the veggie gardens area is enormous right now and smells fantastic. Popped into the Mediterranean gardens and it was really quiet on a Monday which was nice. Some different fruits were ripe such as pomegranates and a lot of citrus. I love coming here in the dead of winter and getting a sweet dose of the smell of living plants and citrus flowers. Watching the koi float around is soothing.

Cory de Wit

Very beautiful well kept area. Exceptional customer service. Polite, professional. They're doing great!

Vee B

Absolutely amazing! Went for the winter/Christmas light walk Staff is incredible, helpful, friendly. Just a great experience. Cant wait to go back in the summer.

Salvatore Scozzari

Great place to visit on a warm sunny day. Not crowded, even on Sunday. Several trails and gardens to explore.

Kande Raj

Very beautiful Garden.

Justin T

I've been there perhaps a couple of times. I like nature so I don't think I can ever get sick of this place. Due to Covid, this is likely going to be a place that I'll frequent more often. A must see!

Fiona Carter

Wonderful evening of beautiful lights and displays ! Outing with my daughter's in law and grandkids , had a fantastic evening . Staff were friendly and welcoming , hope to make this a yearly event for my family !

The holiday light show walk through the gardens was very enjoyable, great way to get out in the evening with social distancing. Pre-buy timed tickets on line, members free but book time on-line. Small cafe open for refreshments
