"Some attractions, like our first stop, the Dow Gardens — 110 acres in the city of Midland — are now appointment-only, with reservations made online to limit the number of visitors at any given time. Supposedly we came here once long ago, when we lived in nearby Saginaw, but I have no memory of the lush greenery or the ponds thick with scum. (The garden also has a restroom that we use with some apprehension, thus breaking our 'no public restrooms' rule within just two hours — but appointment-only means it isn’t really public.)" - Jenny G. Zhang

Mesmerized by the lush green landscape, the cleanliness of the garden, the vegetation and habitat. Not pricey, adults $15 and kids 4-7 $5. One can easily spend 3-4 hours strolling inside. The cafe offers good quick eat items - ice creams, muffins, coffee, snacks - and is located just by the children’s playground. The Canopy walk is so awesome, totally enjoyed the time spent.

In loved of this place! Adults pay $15 toddlers pay $5 We spent hours walking def bring a lunch good shoes sunscreen! We had the best time there with all the beautiful gardens, bridges, we couldn’t let the kids play in the playground area cause they were close at the moment but they loved the big bridges and ropes! They have a coffee shop where you can buy ice cream, coffee and other drinks and snacks.

This is a must see in MI! A beautifully landscaped property with a vast array of tree, plant and floral varieties. Much to see and do in the gardens, explore it all. The lans ape is accented but the architecture of the buildings and walkways and they seem to fit 5he theme of the area of exploration. The skywalk is wonderful and there are plenty of spaces and activities for children too. Nice gift shop with unique items. We saw the gardens in the spring and believe it would be beautiful in the fall. See for yourself.

We spent over 4 hours walking around in this beautiful garden. It is very accessible to all. There is a really nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. You can also bring a picnic and eat throughout the gardens.

This was first time visiting, and I will definitely go again. I loved seeing all the butterflies fluttering around in the butterfly greenhouse. There were many butterflies I've never seen in person before. It's nice to go in different seasons of the year. You get to see different things. There were some Lenten rose flowers in bloom, which only bloom around now, which were nice to discover. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The staff in the butterfly house were ready with any visitor questions.
