Fabulous place to visit but a bit pricey especially with children to see "Frost". There are 42 trees this year and they are so interesting with all the different themes. Garden clubs decorate them and some with hand made ornaments. The creativity is mind blowing. The facility is loaded with beautiful trees, decorations and flowers. Some of them are brought in special for the event. They also have an outdoor area decorated to visit. Parking available in garage but not free.

My buddies and I came to Cleveland for the Bills–Browns game and visited FROST at the Botanical Gardens. We had a great experience. Milan, Teresa, and Kristen were amazing and super helpful in the gift shop. Seeing all the different Christmas exhibits was really cool, and walking through the Costa Rican rainforest brought back a lot of great memories from when I went to Costa Rica. Highly recommend! P.S. Whoever the girl was in the gift shop who said “Go Bills” made our night. Go Bills!

Frost exhibit was pretty with many gingerbread houses and decorated trees. The botanical Madagascar and Costa Rican exhibits are very interesting. We thought there would be more in terms of the Frost exhibit, though. Many activities for children. Parking right under building, but pricey. Expensive if you are not a member.

We brought our twin 3 year olds to the gardens and they had an amazing time! We spotted critters in the wall through areas and played hard in the outdoor garden. The sensory play indoor area has so much to do as well, so rain for shine kiddos have something to do! Be prepared for them to get dirty as there is a mud kitchen, water play, and an area with sand. Of course as an adult I enjoyed all parts of the garden and look forward to my next visit.

What a beautiful botanical garden. The main butterfly room was closed when we went and that was kind of a downer but the place is still worth seeing! I loved the glass room with all the exotic birds and the chameleon. The gardens are well kept and stunning. I really enjoyed the children’s garden lol. I think that was the most beautiful. There’s a woodchuck there and he likes to eat from their garden. The place is very clean. The gift shop is also full of wonderful gifts and such. I think the price to get in is fair.
