Absolutely beautiful ????
Tix were €7 for adults, €2 for children.
Big park. Good for picnics for families with children. Beautiful exhibits of succulents and cacti.

Waterfalls and fountains. Absolutely gorgeous. Literally gone for a long walk in the park. On a nice blue sky day ???? makes perfect pictures.

Worth the visit. 3 cafes but only 1 open. Boutique is small but lady is friendly. Takes card payments for transactions above €20, otherwise a €0.50 charge.

Absolutely stunning botanical garden with a large collection of plant and flower species that is a “must see” in Frankfurt!

visited the garden in the middle of the sunny Wednesday afternoon, and it was quite busy as there was a line for ticketing. However, it did not feel crowded once inside the gardens or the glasshouses. They had a storyboard in front of the gate to keep guests informed what is currently open and what is closed - nice touch!

Firstly, we visited the glass houses, where each section was represented by a different climate – tropical, dry, continental, savanna, arctic and many more. What I personally really enjoyed was the fact I was able to see and find plants of all the fruit I enjoy eating such as banana, avocado, mango, papaya, pineapple and also plants of well-known spices such as muscat nut, vanilla, cardamom. Benches for relaxation were located in the sections of the glasshouses.

Another spectacular place to visit was the “butterfly” house (open only at certain periods of the year) where we could observe dozens of butterfly species and learn about their life. Must visit place was the large Palmenhaus which basically took us to the middle of the tropical forest.

In the large premises of the garden, we found many different sections of plants and flowers, such as peonies garden, bamboo forest, rhododendron garden (when we visited in mid of April, rhododendrons were not yet blooming) or succulent rock garden – all spectacular places worth visiting.

We were amazed by the huge size of the gardens, and there were still sections we hadn't visited during our 4 hours walk! Maps were located quite frequently so it was easy to navigate through, however some explanations and descriptions of the plants were available only in German. Couple of small snack bars were located in the gardens, nothing fancy, just drinks, ice cream and fresh waffles. It seems easy to come here with a blanket and a good book to have a “lazy” afternoon.

Definitely worth spending 7 EUR as entrance fee! Visited in the middle of April 2022.

Beautiful, scenic and informative is how you can best describe the gardens. Amazing place to go with the kids and spend the day. There are washrooms on site and they have a small shop for water and snacks. Would recommend packing a small picnic and having it by the Stone-head statue or next to the lake. There are nice restaurants here as well.

Real gem in the heart of the city. You can visit for 1-2 hours or be there for an entire day. Lots of exotic plants, trees and natural beauty can be found. Walk paths lead you on an almost endless journey to feel the real authentic feel of the climate and region. If you are lucky you can see special nature events and concerts as well. It also includes a restaurant and a playground fro the kids. Suggest to check the website for extra options to explore while you visit.

Great botanical center! It provides such a variety of plants, climate zones and decorative elements, these all makes it a perfect location for a nice weekend activity. The area around is perfect to have a long walk, there are also some areas for children - very family friendly! In addition, there is a butterflies house as one of the interesting entertainments :)

We were here in April,but I think it's would be even better to visit it in May, when all the trees will bloom. Anyway, great place to spend the whole day with your family or friends. Don't forget to take some snacks and drinks. You can relax on the beachbeds surrounding by the trees there.

Really beautiful garden with many different plants and attractions. Just the right amount of information but great detail. We spent hours there and always discovered something new. Quite cheap considering everything that they offer there. Friendly staff also answered your questions. Highly recommendable :)
