Olbrich Botanical Gardens

The whole family LOVED this place! It's beautiful free gardens are amazing, with extra events all the time! Especially for members, which if you live close enough & like flowers, easy walking with places to sit all over (for those like me that need the rest every so often) & cool events, then the membership is definitely worth it! Different beautiful colors, blooms are always around a corner. We especially loved the pitcher plants, such rare plants that need care are amazing!!!

Great place to take in beautiful flowers and plants. We also saw a turkey roaming in the garden. It's free and can easily take a couple of hours. More if you decide to take in the peacefulness and hang around.

It’s beautiful here. The conservatory is well worth the $6 entry fee! The other part of the gardens is free and could be a full day trip. I absolutely would recommend stopping here or planning a trip here.

Pretty neat Outdoorsy place. Tge GLEAM show at night was really fun and interactive, especially for all ages. The trails throughout are well kept. During the day, the trails are free except for the conservation. Indoor tropical forest, which is a small entrance free.

I visited Olbrich Botanical Gardens it was absolutely beautiful, the outdoor garden walk was shorter than I expected. It didn’t take long to walk through the main paths, but it was still a lovely, peaceful experience. The Thai Pavilion was the standout, it felt so serene and unique. I also enjoyed the conservatory; it was tropical, warm, and full of interesting plants and butterflies. Perfect if you’re looking for a calm outing that doesn’t take a lot of time or energy.

Well kept place with large variety variety of plants and other visually appealing landscaping features. Smells were also changing depending on surrounding plants. Many opportunities for beautiful pictures. Very low (in my opinion) entrance price. Well worth visiting for any age.

We came here for the Gleam light exhibits on a Saturday night for the 9 pm session. Parking was full, went around parking lot twice then found someone who was leaving and got a spot, less than 10 minutes by the time we parked. There were less than 15 people in front of us in line (out of 100 total for the 9 pm slot) so most people arrived very close to the reservation time. They let you in at the reservation time. My favorites were: the light projector show, huge light up decorations that looked like persons/gods, light up musical poles inspired by rain, the conservatory, and 3 color shadows projectors. I liked some of the others too, even if they weren't my favorite. I liked the original/creative ones the most. My least favorite were probably simpler display setups with just lights shining on some objects or common things like fountains

Had and amazing time here. Was a nice day date. I hadn't been here in 20+ years and it was still as magical as I remember. The green house was stunning with butterflies and birds flying around while the outside gardens were full of color.
