they are a bunch of grouchy old women that make me embarrassed to be from Arizona! The phoenix botanical gardens should hire people that have a positive attitude. These are old snobby ...

My son and his fiance were married here last October. The weather was perfect and the gardens were beautiful. It was a perfect venue and we will always have wonderful memories of this place. The only downside was I had to sweep up the rose petals after the ceremony!!

I spent about 4 hours here and really enjoyed it. I was fortunate enough to be here for the Chihuly glass exhibit and hope to return for the spring flowers.

Enjoyed the docent guided tour of such an amazing array of desert flora. Lucky me to be there during the not-to-missed Chihuly exhibit. Saw very unusual items such as Queen of the Night and Boojum tree. I spent 3 hours there and it was magnificent.

Rained the entire evening we attended Luminarias. Cold, wet, puddles everywhere. Luminarias were mostly rained out. All the musical entertainment was moved indoors to two very small venues that were packed with guests trying to avoid the rain.Gave it a good try- slogged about in the rain for an hour through crowded pathways, avoiding umbrellas. ...

We really enjoy going to the gardens and strolling about looking at all the plant and cactus varieties. We go to the Luminaria every year, and have for the past four years
together, and our only regret is that time and location make it hard for us to go more than three or four times all year.

I can not imagine giving this 5 stars. This is the most exciting thing Phoenix has to offer? The number one attraction?

I took my daughter and half the paths were closed. It was an absolute bore. I left feeling like I had wasted my money and my time. Having just moved here - I hope there are more exciting thing than this!

I will never be going or taking anyone there - that is for sure!

Big Yawn!

The garden features plants from the Sonoran Desert, which Phoenix is in, and deserts around the world. The garden is both beautiful and educational.

We took a leisurly stroll along the Desert Discovery Trail, a brick pathway in the center of the site. There are many benches placed throughout trails to sit and enjoy the scenery.

I have been to the Botanical Gardens on several ocassions and it has always been fun. It's great just to walk around and see all the cool plants but they also have lot of fun special events throughout the year. I recommend going in November and December for Noche de las Luminarias. They have luminarias lining the walkways, live music, and ...
