I have visited the gardens for years and I have to say summer is the ideal time for a visit. They have an amazing indoor section that features several desert and rainforest plants. The most breathtaking views are in the outdoors gardens. They have several countries bushes and trees featured. Amazing and a top attraction in Cleveland.

On a nice day, taking a walk through the Cleveland Botanical Gardens is a fun and pretty way to spend a day. With a number of gardens outside and inside, there is plenty to do even if its raining outside. In the spring, the gardens are beautiful and there are lots and lots of butterflies outside also enjoying the beauty... More

The Glass House is really neat. It has to habitats - a tropical rain forest and a dessert, which show off native blooms to great advantage. The butterflies add interest. The outdoor gardens were not active at the time of our visit and we hope to get back in the summer.

The Botanical Gardens are a wonderful place to visit on a dull, grey wintry day. Grandparents, parents and kids alike enjoyed the butterfly garden and the waterfall in the rainforest room. The cafe provides a number of options for tasty, healthy meals and snacks.

The Botanical Garden was a nice treat while being downtown. It has a nice indoor and outdoor area. There is an indoor area that is like the amazon jungle and it was very interesting. The orchids were on display while we were there and the colors were amazing. It is a bit overpriced for the limited amount of gardens available.... More

This little gem tucked into University Circle, the cultural gem in Cleveland's crown is not to be missed. The Hershey children's garden provides hours of delight for our grandchildren while the stunning displays in the "adult" gardens thrill all of us. The rain forest is a great place to visit on a cold and wintry Cleveland day.

It's bit small for the price and many other cities have a bigger place that is free.
