My husband and I took this trip together. What a great relaxing weekend. We did the tree top adventure and had a blast. The course was more challenging than my husband expected which made him happy. Before beginning the course you are given an orientation to prepare you for using your equipment and they even have a practice area to... More

Stopped at Callaway Gardens as part of a 3-day trip to Roosevelt State Park and Little White House (see other reviews). I'm a photographer, and with so much to see, we limited our day to the butterflies, the veggie garden (which was closed as it's seasonal), the main "Discovery Center" some trails, the chapel and some driving around. There is... More

Check out the website. It is accurate. They only thing it leaves out is how much your family will love you if you take them. Plan to stay at least two nights to enjoy it all. If you have your own bikes, bring them. Bike rental is not cheap. We have stayed at the villas (meh) and the cottages (yay!).... More

I had heard -- and read -- so many glowing reviews of Callaway Gardens, that perhaps I was expecting too much. The map is not sufficient, and I drove around in circles quite a few times (there are mostly one way roads that require you to drive around the entire park if you miss a turn), I parked too far...

So the location is very nice, yes I will give you that. However, a few thoughts based on my experience. 1. I have visited many gardens, parks, etc. This is a nice location but it is just average. There are NO colors at all, just a bunch of trees.....Botanical in Atlanta is nicer 2. The bikes we rented had a... More

If you like plants and flowers and butterflies and birds, you will love Callway Gardens. Be careful to get good directions and estimates of walking distances, sometimes the signage is lacking a bit and the signs never indicated distance.

Pine Mountain, including Callaway Gardens is a great place to take the kids. We have been going to Callaway for years to enjoy the scenery in the summer time, and the fantasy of lights at Christmas is awesome. They are a bit pricey, but overall, it gets the whole family back to nature.

We went to see the azaleas but, unfortunately due the warm winter they had already bloomed. It was still a very beautiful garden with wonderful paved biking trails. Our family spent the entire day.
