If I could, I would never leave this place. From the moment you approach the building, your can see and, more importantly, smell the wonderful collection of plants everywhere. My all-time favorite part of the grounds, the section I visit every time I'm in DC. is the nook in Zone 5 with the carnivorous plants- something you definitely don't see every day! Find a bench to rest in your favorite zone, track down every single species of plant, learn about different gardening techniques, or hang out in the canopy walk of the rain forest to catch some awesome views of the city. Either way, make sure you swing by on your next visit to DC!

Always lovely. The inside and outside gardens are full of flowers. Great place to take kids. They even have a children’s garden where kids can plant something and water it. So cute! You can spend a lot of time here if you like, but you can also easily see everything in about an hour.

An amazing American Heritage since the 1920’s this place is simply amazing. It’s Banzai trees are one reason to visit here for sure but the trees OMG the trees located throughout the preserve. Conifers-Holly- Dawn Redwoods are simply amazing and the Asian Valley area. The Columns are very photogenic but the benches throughout the gardens to sit and reflect on these magnificent trees our symbiotic brothers. This place is filled with love for nature. Don’t miss it spend an afternoon here you won’t regret it.

So beautiful! Lots of places to walk. There is an indoor garden, with many different rooms with various plants corresponding with different regions. There is an outdoor garden next to the building, just as beautiful! There is also a fountain across the street from the main garden (it had no water unfortunately), had a few tables and benches to sit and view the flowers/plants! Great for families or dates or some alone time!

The Botanic Garden won't be the biggest garden you go to, but it may be the best FREE garden you go to. It's located right by the US Capitol and a great break from your standard Smithsonian Museums on the National Mall. It's FREE and will take you through the tropics to the dessert to the jungle while they give you picture perfect views of blue water pools and exotic trees and shrubs. A huge plus is it's a great peaceful place for nursing mothers and the men's restroom has a diaper changing table!
