From the reviews

For our wedding day, we had our cocktail hour at the gazebos by the rose garden and our reception in the Renaissance Court, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. The Norfolk Botanical Garden is absolutely stunning!!

★★★★★ — Caleigh, May 2026

Botanicals is the go to place for my runs and walks. Great experience with the kayak tour. The Park is well organized and clean (just pack insect repellent spray in the deep summer). Lots of beautiful areas for events and weddings (talk to staff to book).
