hershey gardens

The gardens were lovely and smelled wonderful! Very interactive with the children. We went a very hot day but, enjoyed it so much! Benches to sit and relax! Would go again!

Spent the afternoon here with my daughter and husband. It's a beautiful location and the flowers and plants are stunning. So much to see and it's great to be able to walk around and enjoy everything that they've done there. We'll be back.

The butterfly house & the children's garden are very nice. Beautifully kept. Gorgeous flowers and trees. Don't rush when you come here. Enjoy your stroll as you take time to smell the flowers. Beautiful gift shop, too.

It is a great garden to walk thru. Children's garden and butterfly house are very educational. Love the many roses that were Katherine Hershey's love. Close parking.

We enjoyed walking around the gardens. It is right on the grounds of the Hotel Hershey. There are so many beautiful plants. We enjoyed the butterfly room. The children enjoyed it as well.

Stop by for a stroll in nature. In winter there are decorated trees.It is very peaceful year 'round.

The gardens are definitely worth the visit. Areas are divided into different themes, with a large seasonal area used for tulips, annuals, etc.. If you are a rose lover, this is the place to go.

I love to come here and experiment with my photography. The quiet atmosphere and fresh air is so calming. The walks are wonderfully colored with all the plants and vegetation.

The Hershey Gardens are a gem among the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions of Hershey. We found that our children (3 years old) enjoyed the gardens more than any other attractions, because they enjoyed the chance to run around and engage in creative play. The Children's garden is wonderful with all the unique ways for children to explore. But, our children enjoyed running through all the areas of the garden. Highly recommended!

I did not dislike anything about the gardens! Can not wait to go back. So much to do and so little time. I would like to see the Capital some day (maybe next trip).

The gardens are absolutely stunning from the view to the gorgeous roses! You can see the whole park from the Hershey Gardens. The smell of roses is in the air and it is just magnificent! There's so many different colors of flowers and types. Love it! The little gift shop is nice to stop at afterwads as well!

Even in the Winter, these Gardens are magnificent! My Mom esepcially liked the different types of shrubbery and plant life. Very unique and beautiful!

Went during the Santa event for kids because, honestly, we got tickets free at our hotel and I had always wanted to see the Hershey Gardens. It was a fantastic event for children, we just didn't have any with us. The website said there was a wheelchair route, so I thought we'd be all set. However, there is a very steep hill once you go inside, so we were told to go around back and use that entrance for wheelchair. We did, and it was still very steep. A very nice employee came over and offered to help my husband get me back up the hill once we were done. I was extremely nervous going both down and then back up the hill and the 2 doorways we went through were just barely wide enough for the wheelchair. I won't go back because of the hills, which is too bad. Strong suggestion: Have the handicapped parking at a lower level and a flat sidewalk, free of hills.

Hershey Gardens is a large display of flowers and gardens. Many themes of flowers make for an unforgettable setting. And don't forget the butterfly house, where butterflies fly freely aroung and may even land on you. I honestly haven't seen the Gardens in summer since 2009 (but write about what I remember). However I do go every year for Pumpkin Glow. They line the Gardens with craved pumpkins (also known as jack o lanterns) The jack o lanterns are breathtaking. Kids will love it, and of course the fact they get candy at trick or treat stops doesn't hurt. They also feature scarecrows. Pumpkin Glow is a must see for all fall/Halloween lovers.

We really enjoyed this Rose Garden. It's well done and much bigger than it first appeared. Set aside at least two hours for a visit there. The butterfly house has some really beautiful butterflies. Highly recommended.
