The Garden is huge and the different sections had been fitted with lights appropriate to the various cultures (First Nation, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) Highly recommend it because it includes access...

Beautiful gardens, tons of walking paths, many places to sit in the shade and admire the views. The presentations we saw were well done and interesting. We especially loved the Chinese garden. It was very hot today though and we didn't get to see many of the gardens - my back and feet just couldn't take the amount of walking.

One of my favourite gardens across North America, and rivals some of the best I’ve seen in the world! Tons of pretty flowers, interesting trees, arranged with care in various smaller (and educational) gardens like the First Nations garden, Chinese garden, and Japanese garden to name a few. Large variety of plants and landscapes plus events like tea ceremonies and lantern festivals means I love coming every few months to see what’s new! I’d highly recommend the Chinese garden in particular with the large pond, multiple pavilions and bonsai (-like?) collection! I’ve come alone, with friends and with family and it’s always a great time

Absolutely beautiful! We spent 2.5hours walking the main track and didn't get to see 50% of the whole garden. Better when it's not so busy... could be more peaceful closer to the off hours when there's less people. Highly recommend to all - locals and tourists alike.

The park is huge! The Chinese and Japanese garden are the most beautiful ones in my opinion. Lots of bonzai (40-275 years old) But you can walk for a whole day (at least) if you want to see everything. Lots of different plant varieties. The park is super clean. I would suggest you bring your own water bottle, there are water fountains on site. Great place to visit, I don't know why I didn't go before

I loved the botanical gardens. I was really impressed by the large variety of plants they have. My favorite spot is definitely the Chinese garden. Note: the big plant sculpture is not a permanent structure and it was not there when I visited. I must say that was the only disappointment as I was hoping to see it. Overall, I would definitely recommend it as a must visit place in Montreal.
