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

This by far is our favorite botanical garden it's always clean, there's a beautiful play area for the gold fish lake is always kept very well-maintained. They have different exhibits my sons favorite the dinosaurs. read more

I wasn't going to post about this place and let it be a secret. Sadly some of my fellow yelpers spilled the beans. 10 acres of cultivated park, its one of my favorite places to go after a long stressful day of teaching the 10th grade. I like to put a quarter in the fish food machine followed by another 25 cents and march to the koi pond to feed "my" fishies. Be sure to throw a few pieces at the same time so the biggest fish, Meanie, doesn't hog all the food. He's a bully that one although I love him anyways. If you want to have some real fun, throw in a whole stale tortilla and watch the fish cage match. Next door is a nice playground if you have small tykes. read more

I'm a little bit ashamed of myself - we've lived walking distance from this garden for a year and half and just barely went for a walk in the Grapevine Botanical Gardens yesterday. The reason was that, from the road, it looks tiny. I always wondered how they justified calling it a botanical garden when it appeared to take up less than an acre of land. Now I know - all the beautiful landscaping and walking trails are hidden back behind the trees. It was such a surprise and it felt sort of like discovering the Secret Garden. Beautiful little trails, bridges, ponds, and gazebos are all hidden back there. The fact that it's free and always appears to be open is even better. Truly a lovely little gem just hidden right in the middle of Grapevine. One note - there were multiple families taking what were probably their Christmas pictures there. It made it a little awkward trying to walk around without getting in people's shots. Still totally worth the visit! read more

Nice nature area in the middle of the city. The koi pond has lots of pretty fishies and entertainment for young and old. It is winter so not lots of flowers but everything is well maintained. My friend told me it is a popular place for wedding photographs. read more

For a public park, I was pleasantly surprised how nice and well maintained it was. It was completely empty and a nice place to get a walk in. It's a great place to hang out when the weather is nice. They also have a decent amount of seats and benches if you wanted to do a picnic. read more

Secluded enough for intimate events, picturesque enough to be memorable. My man and I came across this botanical garden unexpectedly--and what a pleasant surprise it was. However, much of the botanical side of the park is still undergoing development, so it will be interesting to see how these gardens mature. Of special interest here are the selections of native plants as well as the water features and koi ponds. Off the beaten path, you can check out the historic tree and its marker certifying its age just under 200 years old. This garden sits adjacent to Heritage Park and is very family-friendly. After a stroll through the gardens, take the kids over to the play area for some fun time. On our current visit, many families had descended upon the gardens to take advantage of the spring color show. They had come to photograph their prom-dressed teens against the beautiful backdrop. The gardens also has several spaces to host outdoor parties or weddings, if you're planning for a small celebration. read more

This is a little gem! Although it is a very small park, it was perfect for a mini walk. Also found a shaded spot in the grass and did some tummy time with my 4-month old. (On a yoga mat of course.) He loved being outside with all the beautiful flowers. He was mesmerized by the koi fish which was actually his first time to ever see fish. There were a few other families there having pictures taken which the landscape is perfect for. Loved this little mini botanical garden and will definitely be going back! read more

First visit and probably won't be my last. The staff are nice and passionate about what they do. read more

As great as FREE can be. The Grapevine Botanical Gardens is a really well groomed garden, full of picture opportunity. It's a free garden so what's there not to like?! As a "tourist" I appreciated the Texas nature scene versus the city. It's a new view from living around the Tri-state area full of cities. Also it's definitely a great place for a photoshoot *wink wink* read more

Good place to come for a small walk. Awesome koi fish pond. Bring change to feed the fish. This would be a lovely place for wedding pictures. Plenty of parking. Best clean bathroom my friend has seen. Our teenagers quickly got bored, but as for me and my BFF, we loved walking & chatting while enjoying all the beautiful scenery, birds, fish, flowers & fountain. And its FREE!!! Gave it a 4 star... They need to add more flowers :-) read more

Grapevine Botanical Gardens - Good park. Nice place to bring the kids and let them play. Beautiful flowers and landscapes for pgotos. - Botanical Gardens Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Found this place online was was immediately intrigued by the idea of a botanical garden less busy than the one in Fort Worth. It was a little hard to find at first because it's so tucked into the surrounding trees, but once I found my way inside I was pleasantly surprised. While it is a bit lacking in the floral department, the garden is very well kept and quite beautiful. It includes a historically large tree and a quaint little koi pond. I definitely look forward to spending more time here again. read more

I took my sister's maternity pictures here last spring and this was a PERFECT spot! Great for photos, family gatherings, or even a picnic spot! read more

This place is close to downtown Grapevine. It doesn't have a lot but it's a hidden gem in the city. I live going here to just relax & people watch or enjoy a quick lunch. The place is well hidden but It is so cool to be able to stop by when your in the area. The gardens are always well maintained and the place looks great. I always enjoy my time there plus I'm not the only person that recognizes greatness there is always lots of people there. I don't mind the people they are just having fun and checking the scenery just stay away from my lunch OK. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to get here from the greater DFW area, but if you are reasonably close, it is a beauty of a small park. Very unobtrusive, and extremely quiet when we went just before Thanksgiving. There were a couple of people taking their Christmas photos, otherwise we had it to ourselves. It is very small, so unless you bring a picnic, don't expect to spend alot of time here. I'd call it more of a landscaped park than a botanical garden, but pleasing to a horticulturist or anyone looking for some serenity in their day. read more

I love this garden. It is smaller than the ones in Dallas and Ft. Worth, but still a very nice place. I really enjoy going in the early morning when the animals are most active. Sitting watching the squirrels, sipping a cup of La Madelines dark roast coffee, is a great start to any day. read more

I to stumbled into this dream spot looking for a photo location. What a gem. The day I was there checking it out the trees seem to be moving!!!!! The closer I looked the branches we COVERED with Monarch Butterflies. I was shock at the hundreds and hundreds of butterflies. I am trying to find out if they are there yet this year and how long they stick around. The Monarch's make a stop over in Grapevine on their way to Mexico. Today is September 30th and know it is about time for them, please let me know. read more
