This was a great find. We searched Google Maps for some things to do while we were in Amarillo, and this popped up. Admission was reasonable and the employees very friendly. We were surprised at the size of the facility and variety of plants. The grounds were all in great shape. I'm sure this place takes a lot of upkeep, and the staff does a good job. If you think you would be at all interested, give this a try– we have been to botanical gardens in larger cities, and this place is really nice!

Beautiful setting for a wedding! It was a memorable experience, and a perfect backdrop for such an occasion. The dressing and reception areas were nicely appointed, and the staff were very accommodating.

This is place is not only beautiful, with all the walking areas, but the Thursday Live music events are great. It's relaxing, and the music is great and entertaining. It's our official date night venue every Thursday.

Bring money for fish food if you have little ones, you will thank me later. I lived here for over 30 years and never visited. It was worth the wait. The colors and smells will enchant you, the peace and cool spots will invite you to stay for hours. I had to drag my granddaughter away after 2 hours, and she talked about it for hours. (She's a energetic 3 year old). Can't wait for our next visit, I will be more prepared! Loved it!!!

These gardens are small but clean and well maintained. There weren't a lot of people when we went, and it was very quiet and peaceful. One of the attractions is a fish pond where you can feed the fish and a very interesting statue of a frog playing the violin. All in all, a lovely place to spend an hour or two in Amarillo, especially when the weather is nice. The Christmas lights are a sight to behold!

Amarillo Botanical Garden- Texas. What a cool place! My husband, niece, and I were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and unique it was. The different gardens were well planned out and there was a pond of goldfish in the Chinese garden. The walk was very nice and relaxing. It was so fun! We basically had the place to ourselves, which was great. I loved it.

We are always thrilled with our visits to the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. The workers and volunteers put so much effort and LOVE into the gardens, and it always shows! My family loves to go multiple times a year and see how the flower beds change with the seasons. Thanks for making such a beautiful space!

Cheap and beautiful garden. Definitely worth seeing and donating. The indoor portion was straight out of Jurassic park– SO awesome!! They were adding on more sections when we went.

A very nice garden with a lake. Good places to sit and even have picnic spots. The splash park discovery center is just beside the park. Makes it a great combination for people with young kids.

This is a rare gem in Amarillo. We are a family of five from Dumas and have a family membership. If you go more than a couple times, it more than pays for itself. We stop by a few times a month to let the kids run around. The butterfly garden is great at the end of summer, and the jungle greenhouse is a nice place for the kids to explore. In the summertime, they have live music concerts in the garden and allow you to bring your own wine and beer, making it a great, affordable family outing.
