A wonderful place to walk around at any time of the year. The collection is spectacular and doesn't take too long, but do take your time to take it all in. I do miss certain aspects of the old design when it was more of a rock garden but glad their memories were captured on postcards, some of which I own (bought off of eBay) and many of those rocks were kept and incorporated into the new design. I would totally buy a book of postcard scans/photos from when it opened in the 1930s to now!The miniature train diorama is a delightful treat for all ages featuring local landmarks and a Christmas town, carnival. circus, stockyards etc.

This was my first trip to the botanical gardens.My wife and I had an amazing time. The workers there are very friendly and knowledgeable. They will answer all your questions, with enthusiasm.The rose garden was the feature when we were there. It was beautiful. They also have some nice wilderness trails. All the unique trees have a little sign at the bottom, so you can easily identify the species.The rock garden was also a huge highlight of the trip. You can easily spend a whole day at the gardens.If you are looking to spend a nice day with your special partner when in Burlington or Hamilton. You don't want to miss the royal botanical gardens.

Splendid! Best time for visit is early morning or closer to sunset. Garden is not big but so well designed and packed with beautiful plants trees and flowers, that you can easily spend hours walking hidden trails, watching water flows and relaxing at viewpoints.

The rock garden is quite interesting, multi tiered with lots of hidden paths to give a sense of adventure.The gardens are well maintained ans the flowers and plants are pretty.In the fountains it appears they've added a tuny bit of an organic blue dye to water as a decorative touch.A nice relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Everytime that we go there is a new experience to do or new things to see. We love to take our little ones there, because there is a lot of space for them to explore. The staff is always really nice and very friendly.

Beautiful, there are so many different species of plants and trees, with little waterfall and pond in the garden. Beautiful place to unwind!Though this is a small garden, unlike what on the map seems to be a large place.And also look for bunnies and little rabits and hares hopping around the garden, along chipmunks and different little birds.

This was a nice experience. The tickets were about 20 a person and you had access to more than 1 garden. They sell water and wines inside, great service. The flowers are beautiful, some of the flowers that were planted were not in season so they did not bloom as yet. Most of the washrooms were very dirty.

The beauty of rock garden is a must-see place in Royal Botanical Garden. Please be mindful that there are limited parking spots, and those are very narrow. There is a booth in front where your tickets get scanned. There are decent seating options to enjoy natural beauty. The place is well maintained and gives you a soothing feel all over.

Amazing gardens, water features, and variety of plants! The hidden gem is the train display in the old tea house at the Rock Garden. It's not open on a regular schedule, so check the RBG website for more details. Not to be missed.
