Houston Botanic Garden

The Houston Botanic Garden radiant nature holiday lights were phenomenal & beautiful! Our family went for the experience & made some great memories. I loved the Chinese new year section & you can take a pic w/ your Chinese zodiac year. One of my favorite holiday light experiences in Houston. It also made me want to go visit the gardens this spring during the day. Such a treasure trove tucked away where I wasn't expecting it.

Went there with family for the holiday light show, and it was incredible and fascinating. Very beautiful and well done. We really like the interactive elements throughout the whole display to learn different things. Place is well maintained and good for our grandma who uses a wheelchair. Highly recommend getting the $10 parking for easy access to the garden. Love it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Houston.

Awesome experience, went for the radiant nature light show at night and it was nothing short of impressive. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the fact that drinks and food were outrageously overpriced, but we expected this. Highly recommend this event and the gardens even though we have not experienced the gardens themselves during the day time.

Our visit was 9 June 2023. Three adults, one senior, teenager. They have the space to make this place great, but I have been to many Botanical Gardens for the beauty of nature and calm peacefulness. Unfortunately I was not impressed. Not much on flowers, they were just planting some in a new area, but it takes too much to walk to areas and the paths are horrible for a wheelchair or even for seniors walking with assistance. You are out in the heat as well. Not much to look at on the way either. Not much cover to protect customers from that Texas extreme sunshine. Maybe some more indoor buildings on the way would help. We ended up going to the Natural Science Museum which was much better. I would suggest this garden look into other states to get an idea of how to improve. Check out the Atlanta, GA & Richmond, VA gardens to get some sort of an idea to improve. Maybe a golf cart ride for folks willing to pay a little more, part-time summer job for a student. Customer service was excellent.

My first time to see the "Radiant Nature" lights and it was just awesome. Our tickets were for the first show and well worth not having to deal with the crowds that were coming in as we left. Easy walking around, and I truly enjoyed the experience of the lights, animations, and interactive displays. Loved the tribute to the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Dragon. Great time for kids & adults, not only beautiful but educational as well. Definitely looking forward to visiting again.

Came here for the Radiant Nature lights and it was fantastic!! One of the best places to see Christmas Lights, absolutely stunning. Highly recommend doing the shuttle parking if you plant to visit and buying tickets in advance. Will be coming back here during the day. The staff was so kind and the gardens looked beautiful and so well maintained. I'm sure it's even more lovely in the daylight.
