Garvan Gardens

I cannot say enough about this place. It is so gorgeous. They maintain the grounds all year around. It is worth the money you can save $5 buying your ticket online vs paying at the gate. The Chapel is so beautiful. But there is so much to see. The fairy garden was such a surprise. The butterfly garden was spectacular, we were there when they had started putting up lights for Christmas and it’s sure to be a show stopper please do not miss this!

Loved going here. Everything was very beautiful. They were setting up the holiday lights, and I just know they're gonna be gorgeous! I loved the fairy garden and the tree house the most, I think. And there's lots of different paths you can take, so no trip is the same. Only thing, I felt the price was a bit much overall. I'd have enjoyed it more if it were free, but I do understand there's a lot that goes into keeping everything in good condition. I just felt the price took away from the natural beauty of it all. Made it feel more like a tourist attraction than a state park 🤷🏼‍♀️

I really enjoyed the Christmas light festival at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The entire garden was sparkling with lights. My family took many beautiful pictures there. 🎄📸✨

My husband and I enjoyed the Christmas lights. It was a very enjoyable stroll, no rush. I really like the model train set up. And it was our first time to see the chapel, and wow, just wow. Maybe we can go again next year

Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, easily walkable. This place is a must-see year-round! There are always new beautiful plants and flowers to see. Plus, wildlife, peace, serenity, and endless opportunities to appreciate nature!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we first arrived because gardens can be amazing or boring…but this is a beautiful place with much to see! The grounds are meticulously taken care of and there is plenty to view from cool buildings to little fairy villages. Make sure you go down the path to the children’s garden because the tree house and area around it is worth the walk. It is also a very short walk to the chapel from the parking lot (make sure you do that!) The chapel is free so you don’t have to pay to go into the gardens to see the chapel, but I personally enjoyed the gardens and would suggest a visit. They were also setting up Christmas lights so I bet this is an awesome place to come in the winter too! A little tip.. buy your tickets ONLINE because it’s saves you $5 per ticket. We didn’t realize that and could have saved some $.

One of the best locations to visit while at Hot Springs, Arkansas. The gardens are beautiful. They have streams, waterfalls, lake and amazing Koi pond. The chapel was a wonderful surprise, simply amazing.

Amazing experience. Very organized with very personable staff/volunteers. Great experience for all ages and handicap accessable. The free roaming friendly peacocks roaming through the crowd were the highlight for me.
