A place of beauty. We only had a few hours to spare and this is the place we elected. The gardens and plants are lovely and ample space to walk around. Several greenhouses accommodate some of the hotter climate plants. The outdoor gardens are vast. My 7 year old son had a great time and we also had a picnic on the grass areas surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. Recommend this place if you enjoy gardening.
Actually it's a great botanical gardens with lots of interesting areas. It sits on a sloping aspect with views of the city beyond. Very well laid out with something for everyone. The Bonsai trees are amazing, but easily missed if you don't follow the map. Ancient, bustling, vibrant gardens. Time flied as we wondered through the hundreds types of plants. Plus, kids loved the woody playground. We enjoyed our afternoon. We will visit again
A lovely place to spend your morning or afternoon. Generally takes about an hour to an hour and a half to walk through the full gardens and view all the exhibits. The greenhouse/glass houses contain plant species from across the world in temperature controlled environments and is definitely worth seeing! I really expected the landscaped area of the garden to be a little bigger and have more exhibits. We went through on a Sunday and their coffee cart was closed - thought Sunday would be a popular day for the gardens. Oxford university students get free entry upon presentation of their student card so don’t buy a ticket online if you’re a student.
Nice botanical gardens with lots of interesting areas. It is on a sloping aspect with views of the city beyond. Very well laid out with something for everyone. Ancient, bustling, vibrant gardens. Time flied as we took a stroll through the hundreds types of plants. We enjoyed our afternoon. There is an entry fee to enter the garden. However rose garden is outside and free of entry charge in the memory of medieval Jewish Cemetery. We will visit again
The staff were very pleasant. Entry cost around £7 each. We had a nice walk around but a few of the glasshouses were shut so we were done within an hour. I have to to say, I can imagine it would be worth a visit during each season to see how different it can look. As we visited in winter there was probably only a fraction of what we could see in spring/summer.
I loved our visit on a Saturday in July. We walked about 10 minutes from nearest public car park which was so weird as a one way system for entrance and exit The Garden is very well maintained and there are plenty of variety of the plants. Watching boat riders was fun too. The small cafe was good. Tickets prices are reasonable.
It's as lovely as you would expect a botanical garden to be. I went in the morning and it wasn't crowded. In fact, it's as if there was a deliberate effort by all the visitors there to remain tranquil as to not disturb the flowers and plants. It's beautiful. Corridors and aisles of beautifully displayed flowers in an assortment of colours with perfumes that will make you smile.
Loved this place. Plenty to see and do. Entrance fee very reasonable. Informative and relaxing. Great escape from hustle and bustle of city. Only downfall was nowhere on site to buy food did have drinks concession with cakes howeverbut they do allow patrons to go and buy food elsewhere and then come back into gardens once ticket has been purchased. Well worth a visit.
I had a great time here. Nice place to relax. Just by the River Cherwell. Interesting plant specimens. The greenhouses have different habitats- tropical, desert and so on. Lots of shaded places to sit and take rest. University of Oxford students can enter free. I don't know if it's worth buying tickets for.
Have been here a couple of times, it's a pleasure in every season. It was particularly beautiful on a sunny October days very colourful autumn flowers, early-blooming orchids in the greenhouse made the experience even more beautiful. Highly recommended to visit in the heart of Oxford.
