What a gem tucked away in the centre of Oxford. The greenhouses are beautifully laid out bursting with species of plants and flowers. The external rose garden would be lovely in blossom. The main lawns are laid out in sections- plenty of information boards. It was a glorious day - best to take your own picnic as only a small facility to order drinks and snacks from. Would be lovely if it had its own restaurant for a complete day out! We paid on the day and had little wait when entering but left around 2pm and it was very busy with a queue to enter. We visited as a family of four and my daughter and little brother had a lovely time too! Well worth it for all ages. Lovely staff especially the one in the greenhouse who spoke to us about the dragon fruit tree - my daughter was inquisitive about. The grounds were well kept and flowers/plants in healthy conditions. Incredible experience. Can't wait to see more in the summer months.

Very calming environment and a lot to see even in autumn. There were a lot of carnivorous plants along with some interesting vibrant plants. There’s a van just within that sells snacks and hot/cold drinks and a small outside seating area. There was also a gallery with plant-based art. They had a student discount too upon entry.

We had an extra hour on a day trip to Oxford and visited this Botanic Garden, apparently the oldest such garden in the UK. The glass houses were crowded, not only with people but also with plants, so it was difficult to get a clear view of individual plants and flowers. Throughout the garden there are useful information on small notice boards, and the outdoor part of the garden was less crowded and plants were better organised. There was a sign to a café in the garden, but it turned out to just be a caravan selling drinks and snacks, so we had our refreshments elsewhere once we got out.

I do love gardens,  any type of gardens and definitely oxford botanic garden do not disappointing. Well looked after  , beautiful plant , lovely views.

A lovely green space in the heart of the city centre. Bit pricier than other botanical gardens we’ve been to, in the UK and abroad. Greenhouses were nice to have a good look around and we walked around the beds outside and enjoyed the snowdrops etc. We appreciated the map!
