Love this place-phenomenal displays every season. We visited in early November and still saw the autumn leaves. The special display was for chrysanthemums. It was beautiful. We find the map and trails easy to navigate. We visited with kids above 10 and the place was great and easy to walk.
Longwood Gardens is well maintained and have friendly and helpful staff. If you love gardens, plants, being out in nature it’s a good place to be. The various sections are interesting. We were here as a family and enjoyed the various sections, the musical fountain, and walking through the gardens. Recommend at least 4-6 hours to explore most of the garden. The water lily court, orchid house stood out.
It's a beautiful experience if you enjoy botany or nature. No matter what path you take here it's gonna be a fun but it's gonna be a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I was here for 5 hours and only made it halfway througn the gardens. I did stop by 1906 which a restrant in the gardens and just wow is it nice. Try the botanist lemonade if you get the chance. The staff there are wanderful, and food was awesome both in taste but in how its presented. I'm definitely going back.
Longwood Gardens is truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are perfectly maintained, with stunning flower displays, elegant fountains, and an amazing variety of plants from all over the world. Every corner feels like a new discovery — from the breathtaking conservatory to the vibrant outdoor meadows. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to share interesting facts about the plants and history of the gardens. The fountain shows are absolutely spectacular, especially in the evening when the lights and music create a magical atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who wants to relax and enjoy some quiet time surrounded by beauty. Whether you visit in spring, summer, fall, or during the holiday season, Longwood Gardens never fails to impress.
This is one of the more spread out gardens I've been to. Be ready to walk and wander about. It isn't a criticism just a fact that you will need to walk between features along nicely paved walking paths. The conservatories were amazing! Their chrysanthemums were phenomenal. The bonsai collection and potting shed were super cool and we really like how well labeled and informative everything was. Super impressed. I would recommend to anyone needing an activity in the area!
Adam was a generous and accommodating guide. He tailored the tour of Longwood to our interests and needs. We would not have had anywhere near as enjoyable or comprehensive an experience without his guidance. When my spouse experienced some unanticipated back issues Adam was kind and even dropped us at our hotel so my husband did not need to walk any distance.
What a fabulous arboretum! There was so much to see. It would take days to go through everything. My sisters enjoyed is handicapped and they offer wheelchairs or electric scooters. The paths are well kept and there were volunteers everywhere that were so helpful and knowledgeable. Fabulous trip.
The tour never happened. I was under the impression that it started and ended at Longwood Gardens and since I am from New York I didn't realize the address was not LG. I explained what happened and asked that they consider a partial refund or credit toward another tour. I paid 258 and the longwood tickets were only 60. Longwood Gardens were great and gave us tickets. They could have done the right and professional thing, but chose to be hard asses.
We brought our own guide and he did an excellent job describing the plants and activities. We would recommend everyone who loves nature to visit this magical place with fountains playing music! Children are running freely enjoying themselves and climbing up the tree houses!
