Great for bringing family members of ALL ages - from the very young to the very old. Nice paths to walk, places to sit, a "treehouse" for the kids with a great view of the lake. In the summer there is a small water park for the kids & during winter, there is the Festival of Lights where the gardens are decorated with millions of lights.

We've been going to LGBG for years, but the last few years we have seen many major expansions. Originally there was the home, some gardens and a tea house. Then a huge conservatory, rose garden, several meeting halls and a sunken garden were added. Definitely there is more to see in Spring and Summer, as in any garden with 4 distinct seasons ...

I went in early November. The place was basically closed down but they still charged the full fee. The only blooms were the orchid area. I asked before hand if there would be much to see and the attendant said it was beaufiful. Maybe in the summer but not when I saw it.

The gardens are a beautiful place to take young children to enjoy a day outside. We played in the new children's garden, tree house, sandbox, native houses, and loved the water play! My children never want to leave!

We went at the end of September and 2/3 of the plants were dead. It is a nice place but not in September. They should lower the price in the off season since there is very little to see. I would not go again because of the price.
