Glasgow Botanic Gardens

Absolutely amazing. Visited in late May and so many beautiful blooms right now. Glass houses are very nice as well, so many different plants. You can spend all day there whatever the weather. Perfect place for children, has a small playground. Dogs on leads are welcome, unfortunately not allowed in glass houses. Entrance is free. Definitely recommend.

Glasgow Botanical Gardens are definitely the best Botanical Gardens I've ever visited. We spent a few hours here on our recent Scotland trip, there was so much to see... Several glass houses, as well as outdoor spaces, visiting almost every continent on Earth. Educational areas outside, talking about gardening for wildlife, gardens through the century, using gardens for dyes and medicines. My favourite area inside was probably the moss area...MOSS, I love moss but have never seen a whole area of a Botanical Garden dedicated to it. There was also an orchid area, carnivorous plants on display, a rainforest, a desert, statues...so much to take in. All of this and it was free to visit!

One of the best places to visit in Glasgow. Beautifully designed and maintained by the staff. I visited in July 2023, and the carnivorous plant exhibition and Kibble Palace were the highlight of my trip. Well worth spending a few hours enjoying the large collection of plants and the history of the gardens.

Amazing place and free. They have food vendors most days. Beautiful park and very large with tons of places to walk and see. Many people bring dogs as there is tons of space! Definitely recommend for anyone. There is also a small but very nice playground for children!

Such an incredibly beautiful place :))) you enter the gates (free!) Into a lovely park with paths to ramble along and large grassy patches to sit. There are many old growth trees too. The glasshouses are impeccable. The plant species inside of them are varied going from fully aquatic to tropical to desert. There are decent toilets and cute wee places to get a snack. Highly recommend.
