United States Botanic Garden

My experience of this place was like visiting a Neverland! The place is beautiful.. it has a lot of plants trees and flowers with soothing bird chirping in background.. its just beautiful. If you are a nature lover, you will feel like it's a paradise .

There are lots of great sites in the DC area. I try to always find time to visit the Botanic Garden when we are in DC. Although the attractions don't change much from year to year, I find this to be a wonderful place to appreciate the variety and spectacle offered by Nature. This "museum of plants" offers some interesting glimpses into a diverse array of environments, from rain forest to dessert, from tropical island to Mediterranean hillside. It's a neat place to swing through; and if you do, make sure you go up into the rain forest canopy!

Absolutely beautiful!! We stopped by last-minute because we were in the area and had some time to spare and it was well worth it. Like other botanical gardens, everything has a label and description of the general area of where the plant can be found. They layout was different than any other botanical garden; they had individual rooms or sections where the plants that fit the same environments are. For instance, tropical, desert, ect. They also had a kids area where they can water, plant, and dig in the garden. The garden was free to enter and I definitely recommend checking it out!

Absolutely loved my time here. I made a quick visit one day and made sure I came back again. It was really fun to see plants from different climates, desert, tropical, temperate. Loved to see plants like banana and vanilla that I had heard of but never seen. The gardens outside are fantastic and great for sitting and relaxing. There are good resources for learning as well.

Going to the Botanical Gardens was an excellent DC experience for the whole family. Apart from costing except street parking, the facility is very well kept, with a vast assortment of gorgeous things to look at. With multiple levels showcasing plant life from all over the world, it is easy to spend many hours roaming both inside and around the building itself. There is also an entire area dedicated to children, who can plant and water flowers or play on a small playground. Although no food is offered inside, there happens to be a mass of food trucks located about 400 feet from the building. I would love to go back!
