We (myself and my grandparents) visited the garden at the end of September. It was a really great stop on our road trip especially since it was free! We wandered the gardens for 30-45 minutes...

A nice place to stroll around and look at the flowers. Very relaxing. A pleasant surprise in Nebraska and it's free.

This place never disappoints! So much work goes in to making it a lovely place. Year around. Spring is my favorite season, but I live out of town and fortunately missed the crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths. I was lucky to have caught my favorite flowers, tulips, still in bloom. Stop by if you are ever in the area and need a little nature lift.

They impress me every year. They plant a wide variety of plants and flowers to create a gorgeous and serene spot in the heart of Lincoln. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful places in town for a small wedding, this is it! I had mine there, and the photos turned out even better than I hoped.

Stunning gardens of colorful splendor! The artistry of landscape design. Well kept. Great place to take photos and take a peaceful walk. Bathrooms were clean.

Very well maintained with Lucious flower plantings and intimate crushed rock garden paths up and down and patterns of color. Seems to be a favorite for families of young children and students wanting a place to relax. Busy intersection yields much traffic noise. Gazebo sculpture top is unique, and two other bronze statues add interest. A nice evening stop. Note: at 8 pm, Restrooms were locked.

Came here for the first time for my 15th birthday pictures years ago. Now i still come by for a nice walk or even a mini picnic. The flowers are always well maintained and sitting by the koi pond is calming. Definitely recommend stopping here to enjoy the scenery. Different events go on here as well. One example is Art in the Park, where different local artists come display their creations for the public.
