We visited last weekend and knew we were too early for the roses but went anyway. The area is not well marked with directions to the actual gardens.

Perhaps the ARS garden could get some advice from TX.

We visited during the Easter party, and had a lot of fun! My son loved the train, face painting, characters in costume, and egg hunt. The garden and grounds were beautiful! We will definitely be returning.

The Christmas Lights were wonderful. They are renovating the core garden and planting this spring. Kids will love the lights. When I came here a couple of months ago everything looked dead. The lady said they are renovating this year. Again, the Christmas party is wonderful.

Visited during the Christmas season. Have made lots of changes to the park from when I visited years ago. Not a bad experience, and just different enough to enjoyable.

Kids love the Christmas lights, it is quite expansive. During the summer the grounds are beautiful when in bloom but more of an adult thing to do. Staff is friendly and informative.
