Another beautiful stroll through the Gardens! And the large Christmas ornaments are out for a photo shoot (placed by the gate that leads to the playground). We ended our visit by running and playing in the play area, hardly anyone was there. We love the Botanical Gardens :) read more

Love this quaint garden. Perfect place for a short walk, enjoying a picnic, or peaceful time with nature. There are some tables, a few areas with picnic tables & a couple covered areas. There is a large private parking lot, restrooms, & an indoor event space you can rent. Immediately nextdoor is a nice playground, 4 pavillion with picnic tables, basketball court, & a couple pickle ball courts. We reserved the park pavilion for a toddler bday party and it was perfect. Kids got their wiggles out & we invited a princess who we enjoyed some activities with in the garden. read more

This is definitely not your typical botanical garden, if you're thinking about the Fort Worth/Dallas botanical garden, this is kinda like the opposite. This place is free, small and not too crowded. its a simple garden with nicely maintained lawn and flower beds. It has a nice creek running through the place, and they have a interesting sculpture near the front. Both times i've been the main building in the front has been occupied. plenty of seats to bring lunch to enjoy here, and i've seen people enjoying the outdoors having a picnic. Plenty of shade, so you're not always in the sun. This garden is also connected to a playground for kids to enjoy. There is a greenhouse in the back, but its only for workers only. Cool thing is that, you can take your family to this place and hit up nash farm practically one street down for a day of family friendly fun. read more

Such a cute place to walk around and take your kids for a picnic or to play on the playground they have there. Tons of other families. Dogs are welcome as long as you keep them on leash and pick up after them. There are shades areas and plenty of benches. Nice place for a fun day out with friends and family! read more

We visited for a free Sunset Live! concert. The AC/DC cover band was excellent. There was free parking, vendors, food/beverage sales and a kids play area. There are mature shade trees and landscaping. You can park on-site in the large, free lot. Very convenient to Main Street in Grapevine. read more

I love coming to this place and I'm grateful that the gardens are free. They have ample parking, the restrooms are maintained as well as the plants. They have Christmas decorations up and there are plenty of photo opportunities in the gardens. The gardens can also be reserved for private events. They have historical plaques all over the gardens, plenty of places to sit by yourself or with others. We arrived before sunset and stayed while the sun was setting and enjoyed the serene atmosphere. read more

The historic town of Grapevine offers this small botanic garden within walking distance from the train station and other attractions. It was being used as an event space and various people were doing photography and such, but there was no great impediment to me walking through. There were some interesting sculpture pieces integrated with the greenery. It was a quiet place, and visiting was free. read more

This is a fantastic little garden and an oasis in the middle of the city. It is a great place to bring your lunch, find a bench and take in the sounds of nature as you replenish. The sound of running water, whether it be a fountain or a stream or a waterfall is present throughout this part. read more

I stopped by this gem not far from the Gaylord. There were only a few cars in the parking lot during my visit which meant I could enjoy it even more. I enjoyed a peaceful morning walk on a bright and sunny day along a paved sidewalk throughout the beautifully landscaped garden. A prominent sculpture greets you at the entrance. There is bench seating throughout. Children can enjoy the playground as well. I recommend this park to enjoy the great outdoors. read more

Absolutely breathtaking! A friend on Yelp visited a few months ago, and I finally remembered to check it out. Thankfully the gardens were easy to find since I wasn't familiar with the area. Once on the property, everything was self-paced and accessible. Overall, I spent about forty-five minutes to an hour taking in the sights and sounds. There was a packed playground next to the gardens. I could hear and see the families have a blast in the nice, cool weather. Please visit this place if you need a getaway to reconnect with nature. read more

Pretty but there's not much to do, it's the smallest botanical garden I've been to, you can sit for a while, read a little and that's about it. You'll be in and out in less than 15 minutes, the entrance is free though so I think of it of more as a park than an actual garden. read more

This place is beautiful and has a really nice walking trail. It's also have a huge parking lot so don't worry about parking.

I'm not sure if the gardens have been open during the entire Coronavirus shutdowns or if they were just recently reopened, but they are open now! What a beautiful hidden gem in Grapevine! Gorgeous flowers, lots of shade, a well-stocked koi pond, and some interesting pieces of art. The kids were especially enthralled by the massive Diplodocus(?) dinosaur. In previous reviews I thought I saw photos of a t-Rex as well, but all we found on our visit was the long neck. There is also a small (but fun) playground near one of the entrances. Restrooms were clean. This appears to be an extremely popular location for professional maternity, graduation, and family photos, which does bring a certain vanity and commercialization to the place. It detracts from the beauty of the nature, but I guess it is what it is. Hard to complain when the place is FREE! The Gardens are small but intricate and well planned. It couldn't possibly take more than an hour to see the whole place, even at a leisurely stroll, stopping to take a look at each area. On the other hand, with a packed picnic or a good book, you could easily while away the entire afternoon. read more

The summer of 2019, I visited Grapevine, Texas for a computer conference. OK, OK, it was QuakeCon. Before I was able to start hardcore gaming, I had a few hours to fill, and made the decision to eat BBQ brisket and take a nap at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens, and it was a beaut. The botanical garden was tranquil and the calming energy was just what the doctor ordered (the doctor had NOT ordered the pound of brisket, the half-day spent in airports, or the three-days of restless gaming with the nerdherd that was to come.) It was a welcome respite from the road, to be surrounded by the nature of Grapevine, Texas, its native flora and fauna. The koi were well fed and swam gorgeously thru golden lit waters, but the real star was the shade and breeze on a hot July day. The butterfly sculpture celebrates the monarch butterflies that fly over Grapevine, Texas on their southern migration. My favorite part of my visit to the Botanical Garden was the 200+ years old tree. A plaque beside the tree bore the following inscription: "1787 - 1987. The National Arborist Association and the International Society of Arborculture jointly recognize this significant tree in this centennial year, having lived at the time of the signing of our Constitution." read more

Absolutely beautiful!! It doesn't look like much when you drive by, but it is definitely worth the stop (ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS FREE)!! I go about once a week now and I bring my dog, she loves to stop and smell all the plants! read more

This is one of my favorite places in DFW to take a walk. It's a small but beautiful garden with a nice playground. My only complaint is that sometimes the photographers do not observe garden photography etiquette, blocking off bridges and pathways for an extended amount of time. It's a public park and we would all like to enjoy its features, but inconsiderate photographers and their clients make that difficult. read more

What a beautiful park! Just off of downtown Grapevine, this is a great place for a short walk or to just relax for a while. One review said you'll get great ideas for your own yard. Their right! Glenda stayed busy taking pictures of different plants and landscape styles. There is a creek, or "babbling brook" if you will, flowing through part of the park. It's man made, but they did such a great job. Several small bridges to cross from side to side. Some metal artwork fills one area of the park. A great place to "stop and smell the roses"! read more

Immaculate and full of color--a great location for weddings, quinceaneras, engagement photos! At every turn, there is something to delight the eye and best yet, it's FREE! Whether drifting through solo on a quiet weekday or stopping in for a community event (like a Dinosaur exhibit or free concert) on a lively/busy weekend, if you're in Grapevine, this is a great place to stop and marvel at nature. I've enjoyed watching the bees, lizards, squirrels, koi, birds, and dogs here. It's just a delightful place to be...and a great place to walk off a tasty meal from any of the nearby restaurants--I strongly recommend the nearby, beloved Old West Cafe for brunch and then a saunter on over to the Botanical Garden for a gander at whatever's goin' on. read more

Upon entering the parking lot, you immediately notice a towering butterfly statue, which I loved. The gardens were so serene. The koi in the pond was my favorite. They have an indoor area that you can reserve for meetings and such, I know because I accidentally interrupted one! If you're in the area, be sure to take a stroll through the gardens. read more

Beautiful. There's a park right next to it that is great for little kids and the flowers and water were fun to look at.

I've been here quite a few times over the years and hope to get back more often. This is a very modest botanical garden; small, a bit hidden, and definitely understated. You've probably driven by this little oasis on multiple occasions and haven't realized that this secret garden exists. Good thing we've got this thing called Yelp where people can share tips and reviews on their favorite local spots! While there may not be a million plant varietals or guides or classes here, this mid-cities garden has a ton of beauty to offer. Beautiful greenery, trees, plants, a koi pond, little bridges, walking trails, a fountain... This is the perfect place for a walk, a picnic, taking the kids out (there's a playground/jungle-gym), and for taking professional pictures. My sister had her engagement pictures done here, and I'm guessing you could do bridal portraits without having to pay the big bucks you'd have to at the Fort Worth or Dallas gardens. If you're looking for a mellow, beautiful place to get outside this Spring, I'd definitely recommend these gardens. Just watch out; there tends to be several parents with young kiddos running amok, so try to go during the week! read more

I have to be honest, I was expecting way more for Grapevine Botanical Gardens! However, I am a Fort Worth native so I was probably expecting it to be about that size. I did a photoshoot at this spot per request of my client. Though it did not have many flowers or plants at all, there were some memorable spots that I did really enjoy. I definitely appreciated the bridges and stone benches throughout the Gardens. My client's children really enjoyed the small water fountain with flowers around it. Another cool part of the Gardens is the fact it's connected to a park. Therefore the kiddos were able to go and enjoy the park after sitting and smiling for several minutes. This place is not horrible, just needs a little more splash of color and maybe some TLC. Happy Yelping! read more

Beautiful space. The plants are carefully curated and well maintained. Totally free to visit and get lost in the luscious plants, babbling brook, koi pond, and butterflies. A nice, semi hidden retreat in the middle of Grapevine. I highly recommend it! read more

Small little location hidden away in Grapevine that I may have never known about if it wasn't for Yelp. Was looking for a nice little area to take my bro and his gf and since grapevine was close, we checked this place out. Let me stress, it's small but quaint. I was hoping for a little more, idk why, but it had a couple walkways and some plant descriptions. Still managed to get some good shots while we explored. Parking is in a decent sized lot, but we were done in about 19 mins and we lingered for a bit to.. Take it all in? Nice area to stop and have a lunch break if you're in the area. I guess I just expected botanical garden to be a little larger and housing more floral arrangements. This was a lot of botany. read more

A small yet beautiful garden that is free of charge to check out. Me and my friends took a great load of pleasure as photographers capturing all the small and delicate beauties of this garden. Love the "natur-esque" atmosphere! And there wasn't very many tourists in the area either, so it made for a great getaway place from all the craziness of the major cities. Not too mention you have way more privacy and flexibility while exploring the place with less people pushing and shoving you around. Definitely a recommended place to check out if you're looking for something low budget to do with some friends or even yourself. read more

It's not as big as I expected it to be BUT it was still a very pretty place none the less!! My friend and I went here to take very nice pictures before our formal. There were pretty good spots for photos to be taken. It's more of a pic taking location more than a hang out and explore place. It's small but cute! They have a picnic area (tables and covered area) so that's nice if you plan on having a little lunch or something! 8.5/10 read more
