We pulled into Glacier Gardens and saw all the upside down trees with flowers in them. They were beautiful. Maybe the sign saying don't photograph until you pay the admission fee should have been a tip. Because after the flowers, there was nothing to see. We went up the mountain into the Tongas rainforest, which you will see all over... more

I first visted the Glacier Gardens in 1998. If you like botanical gardens even just a little bit, you'll love this place. It's a must see because no one else makes gardens this way. It's best to go on a good weather day, so you can get good photos. more

We were advised by 3 different sets of local residents to tour Glacier Gardens as an alternative to Mt Roberts Tramway. Boy, are we glad we took their advice. The concept of land reclamation is visionary, and the AmeriCorps volunteers who guide your tour and work the site are inspirational! more
