My family and I visited on a rainy morning instead of visiting the Buffalo Zoo. There are 14 greenhouses with magnificent plantings that included palm trees and cacti. It takes about an hour to see everything.

Enjoy touring the interior, but the building is just as amazing! Nice way to spend an afternoon. The different areas represent different climates and it's natural flora. The flowers and cacti offer great photo opportunities. Really enjoyed our trip!

The Spring Show is the same every year. Beautiful Spring flowers, farm animals. My problem is that this show is just too short to pay for. You can walk through the entire building in under an hour.

While on a recent trip to the Buffalo area, we visited the botanical gardens. It was a cold, wet day & the warmth inside was quite a treat. It is laid out in sections & has an orchid room, cacti room, etc. a lot of colorful tropical plants & even a waterfall. I would definitely recommend it!
We took our 7th month old, and she had a blast. She enjoyed looking at all the pretty flowers and plants.
Nearly everyone who comes here will be interested in flowers, plants or some combination of those. These gardens never fail to deliver to that audience with a mix of ecosystems from all over the world and some especially unique plants in the desert region. If you really want a fascinating tale ask about the buildings themselves, how they were designed...

The building and outside grounds are lovely. Sadly, the building is in bad shape. Visiting is a nice weekend activity and good value.
