What a wonderful place, which is free to explore. It's mostly very peaceful and relaxed with lots of paths and trails. There's countless species of plants and trees. A number of greenhouses for plants that require warmer tropical climates. There's also a couple of lovely ponds with ducks and some herring. For me the curious squirrels are the best part, they are fairly tame and will approach you if they think you have food for them. Vegetables and herbs are also grown in their own walled garden. There a great cafe with the usual tea and coffee with pastries. They also do sandwiches and best of all some tasty dinners. It's wheelchair and buggy friendly and a paid carpark is in the grounds.

The national botanical garden is a hidden gem in Dublin. There is no charge for entry and there are a number of greenhouses with plants from all over the world. If you’re looking for an easy day, I would hardly recommend it. There is a café just outside of the botanical gardens that’s worth stopping by I can’t remember the name at the moment but as you exitthe gardens cross the street and turn to your left and you will find it about 50 m down.

These gardens are just beautiful. Very well maintained, (huge!) and we had a great time here. The fact that this beautiful place is free is astounding. There are also lots of squirrels in the surrounding area and they come right up and take food out of your hand.

Beautiful gardens to visit with plenty of colour still in mid October thanks to the variety of planting schemes. Peaceful and a lovely tranquil atmosphere for those looking to be ecscape to some green space for an hour or two. Glass houses are very like those in Kew Gardens - cosy and full of plants to enjoy !

Absolutely Stunning place. Free entry. The gardens and the palm houses were just amazing. All kept so well. The restaurant was great too. Highly recommend the sausage roll. Yum! And the carrot cake was very tasty too.
