The orchid display was excellent with hundreds of different types on display as they would be in the wild.The only minor dissappointment was the viewing windows where steamed up.small and compact visit idealfor a hour on a rainy day

We come to lovely Jersey every two years and each visit we just have to come here to view the incredible orchids. The lady at the desk knows us now which adds a nice personal touch. The flowers are glorious. Orchids are my very favourite flower and I wanted to get married here but alas, they don't do weddings. (It... More

Not a massive fan of flower displays, but for the few quid this cost to enter, it was well worth it. Half an hour at the most will cover the visit, took some superb photos.

If you love orchids then this is the place for you. The display room for the orchids is not very big, and your visit probably wont last long, but the displays are beautiful. It is very accessible for wheelchair users.

Not very big but it is packed with some beautiful orchids and supporting greenery. We visited last week and the gardens were not yet open to the public so the viewing was limited to the indoors areas only - probably best to visit in spring and summer when the whole attraction is open.

A bit out of the way but there are road signs in abundance to get you there. Entrance fee is £3.50 but well worth the visit if you are an orchid fan with many species on show in a simulated habitat. Also much to learn about orchid culture and hybridisation that the centre excels in, as witnessed by the many... More

My day out at the Orchid foundation was with out a doubt one of the best days i ever had! The Orchids were just so amazing, i could have spent all day in the centre just simply embracing the ora of the orchids. It was well worth the visit and i 100% recommend it to everyone that visits Jersey.

The orchard foundation is tucked away round some sharp bends and signs are not obvious but well worth the trip. A photographers paradise - but of course, its very warm in there. Stunning, truly beautiful.
