We loved it. It's huge and organized into different gardens (map is helpful). Tours of the house are only between 10am and noon, but there's lots to see without that. All of the paths are paved,wood, etc, which is nice for maneuverability (and you don't have to worry about your shoes). They have events here, so we'll probably be back 😊
Great place for a nice relaxing botanical walk. There are numerous types of flowers, plants, and trees to view. Some trees are more than 300 years old.
Went for the Halloween event. It was a great time
Beautiful gardens!! Lots of walking. The walkways are plentiful, wide and paved beautifully for those who need accessibility. Doors are automatic, plenty of ramps and the attractions (it’s Halloween in a few days) are accessible.
If you love plants, camellias, roses, small lizards, birds, fresh air, this os the place for you.
There is a welcome center with bathrooms (there are also bathrooms outside, they are well marked on the map), and plenty of parking. We missed the museum tour, but spent several hours in the botanical garden.

Best botanical garden we have been to. So much variety, especially for October. Beautifully laid out. Easy to walk everywhere. Small private trails and larger roads. Planned on an hour and stayed for three, and would have stayed longer if we had the time.
Nice 2 hour botanical self tour. Some trees over 300 years old. Amazing plants in over 50 acres. Workers are friendly and informative.
A beautiful property with an amazing assortment of trees, flowers, you name it.
Take quick guided tour of the house to learn the interesting history of the property.
Afterwards take your time strolling though the many beautiful paths to follow.

I'll start this off by saying im not a garden person. I go because it's my gfs hobby, and that's about it. I actually loved this place. It was truly amazing, and i will be coming back. You have to see it for yourself. It's a fairly small walk. Maybe an hour and a half to 2 hour walk to see everything, and when we went, they had dinosaurs there that were expertly done, really looked real. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for an experience like this.
Wow, simply beautiful!😍 Highly recommended checking this place out if you enjoy being surrounded by nature!
Really beautiful space located just outside Orlando. We came to see the Dinosaur Exhibit at Leu Gardens and we were really impressed. The gardens were very well maintained, easy to navigate, and great signage located around the property. There was enough shade to escape the afternoon Florida sun and wide walking paths around. Really enjoyed the quality of the dinosaurs and information located about each. We found numerous animals from grasshoppers, birds, snakes, and insects and really enjoyed our time there.
Beautiful place! Every time we come to visit we have to stop in to see the humongous monsteras and all the other beautiful plants. Come check it out! Bring an umbrella or hat to stay cool if you go on a hot day like we did
We enjoyed our visits of the gardens immensely! Not only the plants themselves were great, we also enjoyed seeing amazing wildlife: cardinals, an anhinga, a barred owl, several squirrels, the monarch butterflies etc. Due to the profusion of benches you could sit quietly and admire the prettiest spots in the garden. Huge thanks to the lady who showed us around the house! I'd we ever come back to Florida we'll visit the gardens again.
I loved the serene paths the Gardens had. There were several walking trails and places to sit and just breathe. There is plenty of shade, too.
I went alone and although I didn't have trouble with parking I noticed on my way out that parking was full. Also, there were renovations going on when I attended, and I really wanted to visit the local shop inside, but again, it was cordoned off and closed for renovation.
Overall, I really enjoyed my outing, and the low price and drive were worth the trip. It was very family-friendly, and I even enjoyed a short chat with the grounds keeper.

My sister treated me to a visit to Leu Gardens while I was visiting her from Massachusetts. We spent a leisurely couple of hours strolling through the gardens. The vibrancy and the unusual shape of the tropical flowers amazed me! The grounds and plants of this fairly large garden all seemed well tended. The wide variety of specimens were well labeled. There was a dinosaur exhibit in the gardens and there were a lot of families on a scavenger hunt to find them all. In addition to the outside gardens, there was a rotating art exhibit inside the welcome center that was enjoyable.
If you enjoy strolls through beautiful vegetation you will enjoy this location. Right now they have a dinosaur exhibition going on that is a fun activity to do. Don't forget to bring your camera as there are many photograph opportunities. The trees provide plenty of shade so you can enjoy your stroll without getting cooked by the Sun. There is a nearby lake so look out for native wildlife species.
I love this place and the only reason I gave it a 4 star is because if you’re a wheelchair user, you do need a power assist or someone to push you. The terrains absolutely breath taking and the wedding venue possibilities are endlessly potential. However the up and down and large range of trails makes it difficult to be in a manual chair. I would def go back, and plan on getting a membership soon. The fairy door experience held in the fall is such a fun day date with kids!
The area of this botanical garden is quite large, and there are many kinds of flowers and plants planted. Of course, most of them are not famous. It’s not the best day to bloom now, but you can still see a lot of blooming flowers. The whole park is covered with dense vegetation and trees. It‘s good to put some simulated dinosaurs in the garden to increase the enjoyment and fun. Why do you just put some small toy dinosaurs? It’s okay if you don‘t let it go. If you have marked it, you will be very disappointed if you look for it.
Just one of the many special places in Leu Gardens....the horticultural jewel of Central Florida.
Wow! What a beautiful garden! Arid Garden is in Henry Leu Garden but for some reason you can’t review Henry Leu? Prices are $15 pp for adults.
The grounds are spectacularly maintained and there is so much bio diversity from one section to the next. I also loved how much shade there was so even though the sun shone brightly I was never too hot for too long. I don’t even live in Orlando and I would go back. The prices for weddings and other events is INSANELY CHEAP (especially considering prices in the NE part of the country). I’d host an event there in a heart beat.

It’s nestled within the Leu Gardens. Beautiful garden with trails take you to wide variety of plants. Great collection of camellia. It’s said to be the largest collection outside California. $15 per adult. No admission after 4 pm.
A lovely garden with wonderful trails. There was always something to catch my eye and camera. With the winding and circling areas there are hidden gems everywhere.
