Montreal Botanical Garden
(Jardin Botanique de Montreal)

We visited during the May long weekend and had a nice time despite the high temperatures and hot weather Montréal was experiencing. It was a busy Sunday afternoon but we were able to find a spot in the parking lot relatively quickly. After making our way to the ticket booth, we waited about 20 minutes in line before purchasing our tickets (kids under 5 years can enter for free). A general adult ticket for non-Montreal residents costs $20.75. Once we were in, we followed the many paths into various gardens, one being nicer than the other. There were beautiful trees to give us some shade that day which we were very thankful for. The flowers were lovely and in bloom. However there was some maintenance going on in some of the structures therefore restricting our access to them. We also didn't see many fish in the several ponds that we passed by. Nevertheless the experience was enjoyable and we were able to explore what appeared to be the entire park in about 2.5 hours.

Gorgeous place to visit while in Montreal. The Chinese and Japanese gardens, in particular, are well done. The Shade Garden is also very nice, and they have beautiful tree-lined paths that make for a wonderful stroll. The greenhouse was closed when we went, but they discounted our ticket to reflect that. Accessible paths for strollers, wheelchairs, etc., and plenty of clean public restrooms scattered throughout. Just a really nice place.

Visiting the botanical gardens was one of the places I was most looking forward to visiting here in Montreal. I was left feeling totally ripped off. It cost me, my father and sibling about $60 to visit, and plenty of the gardens were left empty, full of weeds or a grass field. I have been to more impressive gardens run by municipalities that were free for those to visit. Granted, we did receive a 10% discount, but that was due to the greenhouses being closed. Regardless, this is not worth $20 a person. The Chinese garden clearly was the only garden properly maintained and was the only one worth visiting, and that was solely due to all the buildings and decor. That one was fantastic. There is no way that these gardens as a whole are still considered one of the world's finest anymore.

What a delightful way to enjoy a gorgeous day in Montreal. We spent approximately 3 hours at the botanical gardens. While we felt we'd done justice to the gardens, we didn't enter any of the indoor exhibits. The outdoor space is divided into smaller themed gardens. Chinese, Japanese, and Alpine gardens ate quite good. If you enjoy nature, highly recommend these gardens. However cafes are little disappointing, long ques smaller menus

A breathtaking oasis of greenery in the middle of the city! Its enchanting displays, meticulously maintained grounds, and diverse plant collections left us in awe. I think the admission fee is well worth it for the beauty and tranquility it offers. A must-visit for anyone seeking natural splendor and serenity in Montreal!
