    A beautiful setting for a relaxing afternoon. Come prepared with a camera and desire to stroll.

    Beautiful and fun experience for a day trip while in Naples. Great for families - that have kits for the kids and spaces for them to have fun. Staff was friendly and informative. Exhibits were beautiful and colorful. Also a nice cafe with pretty solid food options!

    At first I was not sure it would be worth the $27 pp entrance fee, but I was mistaken. The gardens were incredibly beautiful and serene with so many colorful flowers. We enjoyed our walk around the lake, the peaceful waterfalls, and the wildlife... from gators to herons to egrets... We loved our day. So glad our day trip included this gem. Can't wait to return!

    It was one big, beautiful, botanical garden. It was worth the experience. I enjoyed the place and smells. It was funny that it didn't look so big at first but it was. Plan on being here for at least an hour. I have some suggestions for the visitors. First, bring mosquito spray. Second, a big hat. Third, bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle. If you want to walk around the lake or see the bird tower, you will need it. The garden was nice. When you first walk in, it's like Wow. Once inside, the garden was divided into different sections like the Florida garden, the Asian garden, the Brazilian garden, etc. It was a nice area with benches, shade, and water fountains. It also had a nature walk around the lake. This was the mosquito feeding area. I found that if you walk fast enough, they can't get you very much. This area has no shade and no place to sit. I liked the walk. They also had a guided cart tour that sounded interesting. I like photography. I found many beautiful spots to take pictures. The lighting was great. I enjoyed my time here.

    This Garden is beautiful. It's $27 which is a little high, but it's well kept up. The staff is nice.

    Absolutely beautiful spot. So very peaceful. We came when they had their orchid contest, and they were also selling lots of different orchids. Lots of different areas to check out. Beautiful everywhere you look! Seemed like they had lots of options for little kids. Like activity workbooks and little areas for the kids around the garden. So if you've got little kiddos this would be a great visit! They also have a cafe in the gardens, we didn't get anything but seemed fairly busy.

    Not sure what took me so long to visit but, as the adage better late than never. In the middle of a neighborhood there's a tropical oasis. Its' name is Naples Botanical Garden. Enjoyed it tremendously. Countless visits await.

    We went here on our visit to Naples. The place is incredibly peaceful and beautiful. We saw a variety of plants. There are many pagodas that you can sit and relax. My favorite part was a swing overlooking a lake. My son and I were able to spend some lovely moments there. The reason for deducting a star is that the ticket prices are very steep and may be prohibitive to many families. However I would still recommend this as a must do on your visit to Naples.

    This is a really beautifully designed botanical garden! From the architecture and the layout to the types of and species of plants, it was just a really lovely experience. I highly recommend this experience if you're in Naples! I really loved all of the different types of environments through the botanical garden, especially the humongous lily pads, and the amazing orchid garden. If I were a local here, I would definitely buy a membership and go, they seem to have different types of activities and talks as well so there's always something to do. Also, there's a really cute café, I didn't get to check it out, but it looked like a nice place to visit. Overall, a really peaceful and beautiful experience, I absolutely enjoyed it tremendously and would definitely go back. 10 out of 10, great experience and a beautiful way to honor and protect nature.

    Naples Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon or early evening in Naples, Florida. It is absolutely beautiful in every way. I love how relaxing it is to walk, sit, and enjoy being outdoors here. I even spotted an alligator and some other wild life. The cafe service was friendly and they serve wine What more could you want? Pictures are not enough. This is a must visit place!

    Absolutely stunning place to visit while in Naples. My boyfriend took me on a little weekend getaway to Naples and we spent an entire day here walking around in nature and spending some quality time together. We went on a Saturday, and it wasn't overly crowded surprisingly for being the weekend. There is SO much to see - we spent about 5-6 hours walking around and we still didn't see every area. The areas we did see were stunning, though. I was expecting to see some beautiful flowers and unique plants, but what we also experienced (which was probably the highlight of the day) was SO much wildlife. I took pictures of about 5-6 different variations of butterflies throughout the gardens, we came across a HUGE iguana on the walking trail towards the bird tower viewpoint, I mean this iguana was the size of a small dog (we didn't get too close, but we did capture some pretty awesome video of this dude). We saw several woodpeckers chipping away at the trees, several bright green lizards sunbathing on the trunks of the trees - my boyfriend really wanted to see an alligator, but that was the one thing we didn't spot on our visit lol If you are a service member or a veteran, they have military discount if you purchase your tickets at the windows on-site. They also have a kid's pamphlet to help keep the kiddos engaged throughout the visit at the gardens, I thought that was such a fun little detail. The gift shop is really nice - there are some beautiful souvenirs to remember the trip. There is also a little cafe inside of the botanical gardens where you can grab some light bites and a drink. I definitely recommend visiting the Naples Botanical Garden - we plan to go back just because we enjoyed our time here so much.

    I gave it one star because we didn't see any gators--just kidding! It was absolutely worth it, even without them. The walk around the lake was beautiful, scenic, and relaxing. We ended our visit by exploring the different gardens, including the Brazilian garden, the Asian garden (though I wish they specified which region of Asia), a desert area, and a water garden. Each one was stunning in its own way. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys botanical gardens.

    Bank of America card-holders are granted free admission to select museums the first full weekend of every month. While not a museum -- duh! -- the Naples Botanical Garden participates in the program. Included in the price you pay (or don't pay!) is a docent-led tour. Be sure to sign up, as groups can't exceed thirty or so participants. This is a beautiful garden, with trees, plants and flowers from around the world. I'm assuming there is strict governmental procedure for importing anything non-indigenous. Some paths are paved. Some a bit pebbly. There are shaded areas where one can sit, but plan to dress for the weather. Ours was an impromptu visit, and boy, was I hot! Special exhibits; currently musical swings. A lovely gift shop. A cafe. Free parking. Even designated times for your pup to join you.

    Thinking of going tomorrow. Is it too hot to be walking around?

    Hi, it going to be in the mid 80's for the rest of the week. Peak hot time is 12 noon, just wear mosquito spray.

    Is the night lights show pet friendly?

    They do not allow food to be brought in. But you are welcomed to do your picnic outside of the garden where there are a few trees.

    Is there a butterfly house?

    Not that I know of, but we were there during the evening night show so only part of the park was available.

    Yes, during specific days/hours of the week (Sun and Tuesday 9-11am).

The Naples Historical Society is also the steward of the Naples Historical Society Foundation, Inc. which raises funds for historical preservation. The headquarters of the Naples Historical Society is the Historic Palm Cottage which is the oldest house in Naples. The 3,500 sq ft house was built in 1895 to be used as a summer cottage by Walter N. Haldeman, the owner and editor of the Louisville, Kentucky Courier Journal and Times. The house has now been turned into a museum. On May 24, 1982, Palm Cottage was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Tours are given of the house and educational programs are staged there. The Naples Historical Society purchased the 1/2 acre lot next to the house and turned it into a cottage garden that can be rented for events. Administration and archives is held at another historic property, a house built in 1910 that is a half block from Palm Cottage. Some of the programs the Naples Historical Society implements are the Naples History Tours, Christmas at Palm Cottage, Garden Side Chickee Chats, fund raising events, and guest speakers. Palm Cottage is currently closed due to the pandemic but I still enjoyed paying it a visit. I had to make my own history tour but I look forward to coming back to take the Naples Historical Society's downtown history tour that includes the cottage. Anyone who is interested in history will want to avail themselves of the excellent programs provided by the historical society.

Night Lights in the Gardens runs from November 27 to December 23, December 26-30, and January 1-3, from 6 to 9 most evenings, 10 PM on select nights. They are limiting the number of guests due to Covid so you must buy your tickets ahead of time on their website. To further protect people their is a suggested event route set up, 2 entrances and exists to prevent people from gathering close, and masks are required. Adult admission is $25. If you are a garden member, tickets are $12. If I lived close by I would definitely purchase a membership. Don't wait to purchase your tickets, the night I attended was sold out. I had a little problem purchasing my ticket and I just want to thank Katy from the bottom of my heart. She went way beyond anything she had to do so I could attend the event. Katy is an absolute gem and if you are reading this, thank you so much and I am wishing you the happiest of holidays. This even is 5 stars all the way. Just pulling up to the garden, I was already dazzled by the lights they had set up. Every night there is live music on the water garden stage. On the night I visited it was a duo, Kelly and Mason signing beautiful slowed down arrangements of pop song classics. The garden had the coolest lighted stools set up for people to sit on while they listened to the music. Pairing perfectly with the music was the delicious cocktail the garden created. Called Holiday at the Beach ($10), it had Malibu coconut rum, peach schnapps, pineapple and cranberry juice served over ice with a cherry and umbrella garnish. It was so delicious and this is going to be my new holiday cocktail. I can't wait to recreate it with the rum I had leftover from Thanksgiving. The cocktail can be purchased along with beer, wine, water, and soft drinks at a table in the garden and at the Frogg Cafe which was also serving a full menu. The lights were so amazing. I don't think my pictures begin to do the event justice. In addition to all of the plants and trees that were bathed in multi colored electric light, there were also special exhibit sculptures, from Steve Tobin, Nature Underground. Also scattered throughout the garden were trees created out of plants by the gardeners. I can't even begin to express how magical and beautiful the gardens are. The lights are used to accentuate the natural beauty of the plants. You can even have some fun shopping at the fantastically curated gift shop. When you purchase items you can help support the garden and knock some gifts off your list at the same time. I had the best time at this event and I highly recommend it. It is definitely worth coming out for even if you live on the east coast of Florida as I do. It was the perfect kick off for the holiday season. Grab your family and celebrate the real meaning of the holidays by getting together and attending this event. Long after who gave what is forgotten, the memories of precious time spent together will be treasured.

There were no red flags, and the shop was on our venue's preferred vendor list, which gave us confidence in booking her for my wedding. We met in person about 9 months in advanced, discussed floral arrangements and pricing, and provided a $2,000 deposit at her request. In the months that followed, communication started to become more and more unreliable. Multiple emails and phone calls over several months went unanswered, which became increasingly concerning as the wedding approached. Weddings are already stressful enough without having to chase a vendor for basic updates. With roughly three weeks before the wedding and no reliable communication, we were forced to secure another florist at the last minute -- an incredibly stressful and unnecessary situation so close to such an important event. About a week before the wedding, Amanda emailed stating she would "absolutely reimburse" our $2,000 deposit and asked for a mailing address. The address was provided immediately, but the reimbursement was never sent. Despite repeated follow-ups after the wedding via email, phone calls, and even an in-person visit to the shop (which appeared closed), we have received no refund and no response. Failing to return a promised deposit and leaving a couple scrambling weeks before their wedding is simply unacceptable. I don't even know if the shop is still in business but I strongly encourage people to not purchase florals from here.
