Norfolk Botanical Garden

Love the botanical gardens! Will be back for a doggy Sunday walk or to enjoy the cafe patio. The last few times I've been was to drive through and see the Christmas light displays, so it was interesting to walk the grounds. The botanical gardens are HUGE! Definitely take your time strolling and try to catch the circuit shuttle. Spent some time picnicking under the cherry trees, very peaceful. There are ground bee projects around the area, though the bugs didn't bother us.

This was our first year walking through the Celebration of Lights, and it was a wonderful experience! We were able to walk through beautiful displays of lights and music. Now, not all the displays that we love were available (no dragons or spider lights). However, it was an enjoyable experience. And great for our health as well. I would definitely recommend going during the holidays! It will not disappoint.

Went out for a first visit today with my 4 year old daughter. We absolutely loved it! Even after 2 hours playing at the splash pad and exploring there, we never felt bored. We even stopped by the lovely cafe for lunch and found it delicious. Next time I come out we'll make it an all day outing.
