Reviews of Green Bay Botanical Garden (Tourist Attraction)

Catherine Leemon

Just finished shooting senior pics out there. Great winter scenes. Didn't realize snow shoes were available and will be back to try that next.

Janet P

Absolutely beautiful gardens with so many various displays. Concert area is phenomenal!

Erik TruBOAR

Could use better directional signage to get there. Main entrance is easy to miss since it's off a curve of a main road. But when you get there, you'll have a great time. A good array of flora and walking trails. Be warned there are some steep hills, but there are plenty of alternative routes to bypass the hills.

Michelle Karow

Every year we go there for the Christmas decorations and in the summer for the flowers. It's a beautiful place. The Lego exhibit was amazing

Wendy Tenpas

Butterfly exibit was mainly monarchs, not many flowers blooming yet and it's july

Connie Nelson

In town for a memorial for a dear friend and needed an uplifting diversion - and this place really delivers! They have reciprocal agreements for other botanic garden memberships ( mine through The Garden on Spring Creek, Fort Collins, CO ) - so join a garden near you and always check for one in your travels. Your membership helps maintain these wonderful resources!!

Debbie Smits

It is beautiful and relaxing! Fun for all ages! Nature. Family. Friends.

Sharon Klein Sanchez

I went to the light show with my kids and grandchildren better to wait till a bit later to go because parking is sparse if you go when they first open it and it clears up a bit if you wait

CeciWolfCat7

Absolutely stunning place to visit, hope to get there for the holidays!

Beth Ankeny

Loved it! So much to see and I loved the variety of plants.

Donna Hatzinger

Lovely. Great place to visit .

Angeline Simeus

Beautiful! Lots of mosquitoes though, wear repellent.

Ryan Petrie

One of the better Xmas lights show in the state. A fee of $10 is well worth it in my opinion. The parking staff very helpful when busy, typically on the weekends. The lights are unique and fun to see throughout the grounds. Going to have to come back in the summer to visit the gardens to see what they have to offer.

Kelly Percy

Overall a pleasant experience. Lights are beautiful and staff are very friendly. My only wish is that when we have a heads up that the weather is going to be on the nicer side, there would be someone directing traffic by the light on Packerland.

Matt A

Enjoyed walking around and enjoying the gardens

Chris Stock

Great displays of more flowers then I could count, all laid out in in shaded paths and artistically laid out courtyards of all kinds. There are many places to sit and relax. There is also a outdoor concert venue and a main building where special lectures and demonstrations are held.

Anthony Frederick

Really pretty. Grounds are maintained well, and flowers/plants are labeled for observers. Paths were clear, and there were many options on which way you could go.

jeremy wick

Worth going. Kept up very well.

Tami Bethel

Gardens equal in design, beauty, upkeep, and changing seasons, as any large metropolitan city. Many additional activities make it a favorite destination anytime.

Rolleen K

Awesome place for a wedding!!! Staff is attentive and helpful. Grounds are amazing for pictures and scenery! I had a wonderful time at my son's wedding here!!!

Kathi Karnz

Beautiful bulb displace, can't wait for Butterfly display to be ready for visitors

Hope Andersen

Its nice it is just a little boring for my taste if you like gardens or flowers alot then this is the place for you. Im not saying its bad but i wouldn't spend my time their.

Alexa Prit

The groundskeepers work rain and shine to keep the gardens absolutely stunning. An astounding variety of flowers, shrubs, trees, and gardens year round. Peaceful and quiet atmosphere and a wonderful place to walk. Family activities are found throughout the gardens, and there's even a children's garden. A wonderful place anyone to spend a sunny day.

Todd Gardner

Beautiful Gardens with great places for kids to have fun

Krista De Larwelle

The Christmas lights were absolutely beautiful. There were a lot of people but everybody was in a great mood and lines moved quickly. A must see at Christmas

Momma Wisco

Beautiful. Kid friendly, cost effective. My kids really enjoyed our visit.

Barb Zimmerman

We were with a group tour so we experienced an herb class and also partial garden tour. Loved the earphones which magnified the tour guides voice!!

Brandon Hufford

The only way to explain this place is beautiful and amazing place to stroll through. The butterfly sanctuary is fantastic well worth visiting

Justin Peterson

A beautiful garden with plenty of events year round. It’s a great spot to stop if you’re in town during the spring, summer or fall to see all of the flowers blooming at different times of the year. Even in the winter, the botanical gardens do not disappoint. They decorate the grounds with thousands of lights and put on a garden of lights show and the kids love it. The grounds are beautiful and are also great for a wedding as well. They have a few areas to choose from for your ceremony, and based on your invite list, you can find the perfect spot for special day.

Michael Krupsky

Very nice place. Never disapointed

Sue Sriwiriyanont

I really enjoyed feeding the butterflies.

Dan Schmechel

It was very beautiful, alot to see.

John Wager

What a phenomenal job here. We got to the earliest showing but when we left the line of cars was at least a mile long. But it is worth the wait to see what they have done! Can't wait til spring time foliage!

Giselbert Parkhurst

Fabulous place to visit! We have never gone in Fall, and it was lovely. Pleasant staff, lovely gift shop too.Was passing nearby on way back from Upper pennisula Michigan trip. We had to kill some time to avoid hitting Chicago at rush hour. So thought this would be a great place to check out.

Laurie Brunner

Best place ever !! Great for travelers to see and regulars to walk through . We personally go a few times every year. Love it and do recommend !

Marina Kamin

Very nice and peaceful plays! Enjoying every time when I'm there.

Bryan Robertson

Beautiful Christmas display! I plan on returning every year! My wife and child loved the whole set up especially the tunnel of lights they made! So awesome! Also super affordable for a cute family holiday night!

Olga Kirilchuk

Grest variety of plants and flowers. Lots of different events

Emily Fischer

Love the gardens and the amphitheater! Allows for such great shows!

katie schramke

It is late April so not a whole lot is up or in bloom, but I wanted to see the gardens regardless. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and wonderful curated. I will be back to see what it looks like when things grow up. The front desk was honest and accommodating.

Brandon Braden

Gorgeous place, will definitely be back

Teresa Minske

It was great! So many beautiful flowers, a lot of work went into all of it. Will for sure go back!

Mali Kue

Came with my kids and had a great experience. Kids ages were 14, 11, 8, 7, and 6. It was our first time and we were really excited for the butterfly exhibit. We had the best time in the butterfly exhibit as everyone got to hold a butterfly. The kids really enjoying looking at all the beautiful flowers and plants and following the trials. There is a small playground area and slide for the kids. Lots of tings to see and do. We only had a little over an hr to spend here so we went thru it fairly quickly spending about 30 mins with the butterflies. I would love to go back and reserve at least 2-3 hours here. Great place to take many pictures. Staff and volunteers were all super nice and friendly. Very helpful and educated.

Marianne Spain

Gorgeous place for a beautiful wedding.

Kaytie Broadhurst

Butterflies and blooms was amazing.

Beth Riegel

Nice walking paths through beautiful gardens. Most plants were labeled with their names.

kathy schumann

Too hard for husband to get around. Was only there 10 min. Waist of money for us. Should explain its hilly and lots walking required

Pat Clusman

Nice holiday event at the local botanical garden. Many light displays and friendly volunteers at every turn. Horse pulled wagon was a good way to see the lights for our party.

Ann Simon

This GB Botanical gardens is my happy place to love on nature!!

Troy McCallum

Great place. Too my 3 and 6 test old and they had a blast waking the trails and setting the butterflies.

Carrie Scheinost

So beautiful! Lovable place for everyone!

Karen Phillips

I am a violinist for weddings so have played here many times. There are multiple lovely settings and the staff is extremely helpful and knowlegable. The flowers and gardens are well kept up, beautiful and interesting.

david limberger

Lots of butterflies at the exhibit right now. Love visiting the ever changing botanical gardens.

kingfeds1

Great atmosphere. Peaceful and quiet.

Dawn Schulze

Great fun for kids today

Mandy Jansen

Lots of family fun! We've gone through walking and by wagon. I prefer the walk through, lots to see and take it. So beautiful! My kids even got along while we visited! Miracle in itself.

Karen Hansen

Not pet friendly. And they will make you feel like you are unjustified in bringing in a support animal by trying to qualify the animal which may be against federal law. I appreciate this, but at some point it is pet discrimination. That is, because some other animal or steward of an animal causes some sort of problem doesn't mean another will. We are at an age where people wish to be accompanied by their support animal for a number of reasons. My senior pet is small and quiet and stays in her stroller. She does have paperwork. We would have loved to have paid twice the normal admission fee to have enjoyed these gardens today but felt unwelcome.

Jennie Micke

Beautiful experience with lots of activities for children.

Mary Jo Driessen

We loved the different gardens and activities to do in each. Feeding the butterflies was our favorite! Well worth the wait in line!

Helen Pagenkopf

So gorgeous, could hardly take it all in. Nice staff too. Very well maintained and clean.

John Tilleman

The gardens are phenomenal here. A lot of variety and once the growing season arrives there's always color. There is a lot even to keep the kids occupied and they have some really good programs for kids and adults alike. Their new theater looks amazing. I can't wait for the summer concerts to start. I never miss the garden of lights that they have in December/January. Always just so beautiful, especially when there's snow on the ground.

Diane Rome

We attended a wedding here! Gorgeous! The place is breathtakingly beautiful and the staff was amazing!

Terry Sargent

Had never been here before but I will be back. Came here for my niece's wedding ceremony & it was absolutely beautiful. Left earlier then others & missed the butterfly exhibit which they said was amazing. So next time spending more time walking around & going to see the butterflies.

Mike Roeseler

Went to a concert at the Gardens. Not only was it a great show. But the area for it was very nice. They had lawn games for kids and adults. Like corn hole toss, yard dice and a big connect 4. It was a great night. Oh the guy selling corn on the cob, he was brilliant and had customers in mind.

Susan Van Camp

Love the wildlife and mature trees with the variation of perennials.

Gary Garles

Amazing Hosta and conifer collections. Must see gardens .

Richard Seidemann

Very beautiful and informative, but if you have allergies be sure to take claritin first

Amazing gardens, and lovely to tour in a group or with family. Also holds private events! Features music in the ampitheater during summer. Gift shop, limited selection of ice cream treats in a cooler. Check out the Hobbit house.

Cheryl Ladd

Absolutely gorgeous gardens, if you love plants you will love it here!

Ken Kolbe

Have been here several times. W Very nice.

Dan Kelly

Great little place to enjoy the outdoors! The bees are too busy to worry about you...

Michelle Green

Very Pretty! Gives Military Discount! Wish we had gone in early summer!

Jennifer Garty

Beautiful grounds! Lovely Gardens, friendly staff, and so much to explore. Did not get to finish the whole thing, because we were walking with younger children. Really enjoyed all the different outside gardens. The kids area was great as well! They had several activities that the staff was putting on for the younger children. The inside Educational Center was great as well. Love their Library downstairs. Would go back again in and explore more. Could not finish it all in one morning. Gorgeous place.

Morgyn Mccarty

Was really a wonderful experience for my family, hope to be back for the butterfly garden this summer

Monica Lauren

Beautiful place, cheap admission. Free for NWTC students and they do offer other discounts. I recommend coming earlier in the day when it’s sunny if you want to see the butterflies when they’re most active. Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful. The whole place probably takes 45 mins to see. Keep that in mind. If you have children they will love the educational activities and play center for them.

Bryce Wurm

It was really cool...even though this yr the full bloom was late so we didn't get to see that

Dave Wiebe

Great experience, amazing gardens.

Patty Wieland

The lights were beautiful. Even though there was a crowd, the flow was well managed. Highly recommend the experience!

Shamarr Voskuil

My first time here and the staff was so excited! They gave me a map of areas to check out. Well maintained grounds and the flowers were beautiful. I just wanted to spend all day here. And it's super affordable!

Tara Raven

Loves the butterfly garden, kids really enjoyed it. We will be back for a feeding time!

Karen Sartler

The Lego exhibit was wonderful. The gardens themselves were absolutely stunning! Beautiful neat kept walkways, clean facility, ample room to have the kids run if they wanted. Tons of different landscapes, some sunny, some in the shade. Loved it

ItzzNate Boi

Was a very pretty place I want to visit again

Jen Karsten

Beautiful grounds with well labeled plant life. So much to take in and enjoy. I could easily spend hours soaking up the sounds of rustling leaves and creaking trees on a breezy afternoon here. Green Bay Botanical Gardens has a beautiful deck to sit and enjoy your lunch, a huge amphitheater and well cared for bathroom facilities. There's even a nice little playground so the children can expend some energy! Great place to spend the day with family or all to yourself!

John Mason

Every well laid out, nice walk. We even saw some deer.

Natana Dess

I look forward to taking my wedding photos here!

Heidi Schroeder

We went for the Christmas light, worth every penny, beautiful and something for everyone to enjoy.

Danny Seddon

Very nice place, family loved the butterfly exhibit.

Beautiful isn't enough to describe this place. A must see, clean and impeccable maintenance of the grounds!

Connor Moore

Love this place, they have quite a few species of fish and plants there!

Kitti Vermeersch

Such a beautiful place. The butterfly exhibit was stellar.

Sound of Nashville Great Concert Series is truly great!

Shawn Stanchik

So peaceful and very beautiful, awesome walk with a loved one.

Mary Capelle

Beautiful flowers, trails, and landscapes to wander or sit back, relax and enjoy.

Joseph Misovec

SUPER bad a bug flew in my eye and now I have a tumor in my leg. They also have very bad pink roses that irritate skin.

Jennifer Stahl

Beautiful grounds. Well maintained with a nice variety of plants, bushes, shrubs and trees. Went as a guest to a family wedding so didnt have to pay. I thought they could have done a slightly better job with signage directing us to "our" area. Also, I thought the establishment could have made things slightly more "private" for the wedding couples as there were weddings going on all over the grounds and it would been easy for a clueless( albeit, rather dumb) patron to walk into a wedding area

Linda Pedersen

Loved it. Very well maintained. Easy to walk.

Tom Largo

We went to see the butterflies, this place is a gem, never miss walk of lights and now they are going to be having outdoor concerts. Highly recommend this place!!

Ольга Демидова

A must-visit in Green Bay. Awesome botanical garden. Lots of interesting plants and no mess. Interesting sculptures and buildings. perfect planning. Nice place to look at Wisconsin originated butterflies. Entrance fee for adults is $10.

Christopher Wolter

Very nice and beautiful surroundings for the whole family.

JK Schubring

Wonderful garden, lots of variety and the Butterflies and Blooms exhibit is fun for all ages! Hope it comes back!

Heather H

Fantastic place to visit AND excellent venue for hosting a wedding! We had our ceremony in one of the gardens and the reception in the hall located in the main building at the garden. Both were gorgeous and we were very pleased with the accomodations, customer service, everything. Their recommended florist, Ginger Birch, is amazing as well!

casey Cornelius

Always a great place to and see lights. I have been going here every year for that last couple years. It's been getting pretty busy lately though. Kinda of takes the magic out of it. But nonetheless still a great place

Tom Mcphail

Nice people with beautiful plants.

Thomas K Schmitt

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter splendor. Cleverly planned and skillfully executed gardens of myriad styles and species. Could spend all day here, so plan plenty of time for the warm weather visits. Not quite as much for the wagon rides through the awesome Christmas Light display.

Ashley Le Sage

Love the walks in the quiet beautiful atmosphere of nature. So relaxing and calming. Makes the perfect end to a beautiful evening.

Dan Schultz

The outdoor concert was so much fun!

KittyKyri 2008

Really nice place to go to because at atmosphere was filled with the smell of roses

s stallings

Very beautiful. Great places to take pictures and even relax

B Halo

Beautiful place to explore if you like flowery, scenery, and a calm relaxing place to spend your day. We went during the butterfly expo which took place during the transition of summer to fall. Alot of walking trails with alot of information about flowers, trees, and plant life. There is an admission fee and expect a short walk around exploring to take up to 1 hour to 1.5 hours. At this rate we did not to get to explore nearly half of the things this place had to offer. During winter times they have the garden of lights which has similar trails during the summer with the option of riding horses or walking on your own.

Demi Bremer

I went on a weekday in June and it was easy to find good parking. When we bought our tickets the cashier took the time to explain the map to us which was very nice. The man working in the butterfly garden was excessively chatty and made me wait for the door to be opened to leave. Overall good

Leonel Reyes

The city of greenbay ReAlly needs to stand behind this beautiful work of art to really show the

Lioba Casey

A place to enjoy, relax and experience a wonderful garden in a whole new way. It's a great opportunity to learn more about different types of plants, flowers and trees. There is a gift shop and different events going on throughout the year. It's like a sanctuary, a place where you want to come home to. So many different trails you can choose from. Interactive ways to learn and explore your curiosity about the garden. An opportunity to borrow a golf cart for people who are not able to walk very far. It gives an opportunity for anyone to enjoy this place.

Christopher Olson

Gorgeous selection of very well maintained plants, spring flower display alone worth the stop. Have been to many top botanical gardens in the country and this one is right up there. Looks of events throughout the year keeps things fresh and happening.

Tabitha Zehms

Great for kids who like to play games; their interactive stations are fun. A beautiful, large place with lots to see. Bring a stroller and snacks; little kids/preschoolers won't make it much past the children's garden, and there's lots more to see!

Tony Busch

Good time for a walk and checking out lights. Go after 7:30 for better parking and less crowd. Either way nice time.

Joseph Deckers

Joe and I had a great time. We always enjoy the lights. I hope everyone can go and see them it is sure worth the time

Rachel Ketchum

The people were helpful, the maps accurate and even with 3 weddings going on it was a beautiful visit. There was literally gorgeous surprises everywhere and peaceful places hidden in every nook and cranny. I can't wait to go back!

Nate Baumgarten

Very beautiful spot. Filmed a wedding here. Great outdoors scenery

Wesley Damys

Beautiful place great venue

Wonka Wonka

I went there with my girlfriend for the light show. It was a nice relaxing walk and they did a really good job with the lights. Will definately go again next year.

Casey Marquardt

Always a wonderful experience. They've definitely improved and streamlined the ticket process. Lots more parking.

Josh K

Beautiful and relaxing. A treasure of the Green Bay community. Host of many fantastic events.

monica Geiser

Interns did a great job in the butterfly exhibit.

Jean Assenzo

Loved it. Amazing place to visit. Beautiful and very well maintained.

Emily Mashak

The Garden of Lights during the Christmas season is amazing. A great date night to walk though and a cozy fire to warm up next to.

Donna Buono

Absolutely lovely botanical garden. Very reasonable prices and every path leads to a focal point, structure, plants or trees. Spend most of the day here after a lunch break at a local restaurant. The plants are well marked and the ground map is easy to follow. Must visit if your in the area.

Eric Nelson

All kinds of different plants. Very well planned out paths. There is a butterfly exhibit as well. They even host weddings!!!

ML Hendricks

You have to go see the garden of lights at Christmas. Enjoy the magnificent light displays and local artists. Horse drawn wagons hot chocolate and great staff. Did I mention busses too and from outer parking lot for convenience.

Lester Raddatz

Very cool and relaxing.. abundance of flowers. Very clean and well maintained.

Nancy Patrick

Beautiful time at the butterfly event

Kelly.M Page

Great experience. Loved the butterfly exibit!

Connie Boncher

It's an awesome place to visit - gorgeous flower displays, great place for pictures.

Rick Volkman

This is the second time we made the trip up to Green Bay to see the festival of lights at the Botanical garden. I was surprised to see that almost nothing was the same as last year. They really put a lot of effort into setting up a good show. It does take a while to see it all, so dress for the weather. I am looking forward to next December so I can see what they do next!

Travis Creech

Beautiful place! Lovely for dates and a great place to take the kids in winter!
