Montreal Botanical Garden
(Jardin Botanique de Montreal)

Visited in September and it was absolutely beautiful. The grounds are large enough that it’s hard to see everything in one visit. The water lilies and the bonsai exhibits were my favourite. The bonsais were between 16 to 150 years old!!! The restaurant was busy, but delicious, nutritious, and well priced. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

We got ticket to see Jardin des lumierd show and those tickets give us access during the day too. In one day we visit two times the Botanical garden. The garden is organized in different areas and you have Japanese garden, Chinese Garden , alpine garden etc. Great walk and great view - flowers , nature and nice design of the garden. You need around 2 hours to make the tour. For Night tour the show was excellent with lights , music and spectacular moments on Japanese garden and Chinese one. The lampions in Chinese garden are well designed and provide a deep dive on Chinese culture. If you can go for it - depending of season think about hot cloths for the night session.

Beautiful garden, amazing experience with the garden of lights exhibition. I was never much of a fan of botanical gardens but this one was absolutely magical and the whole area is just gorgeous, a great photo spot and a nice walk around with interesting exhibits. We can right around sundown, which was absolutely lovely and stayed until the lightshow started, then it got too crowded, hence I would recommend coming sooner, if possible.

Had a bit of extra time one morning on a recent first visit to the wonderful city of Montreal. I discovered that it boasted a botanical garden (one of my favorite things since visiting Australia where every major city seems to have one); even though there was a modest fee for entering, I decided to take the short metro ride to visit. Great decision! Whether the Chinese Garden (probably the most impressive area), the Japanese Garden, or the Alpine Garden, or any of the gorgeous “generic” vistas in abundance there, beautiful nature, sometimes carefully arranged, other times not, washed over me like a cool breeze. I walked my legs off but the sore feet and legs at the end of the day were worth the effort. Such a lovely place that cannot be missed. And make sure you stop by the cafe there. Not pedestrian burgers and fries but well-crafted sandwiches and delicious soup among other choices. I had a lovely vegetable sandwich on focaccia and a cauliflower and beetroot soup which was heavenly. Plus you get a great view of the Olympic Stadium while you’re there. Go! You’ll thank me for it.
