A nice little oasis within the city's core. I like it and it can be quite relaxing at times. There is a nice little playground for the kids a d a great place to chill, eat or even read. Sometimes you even get a person playing the piano there.

25 years ago when I last went it was called Eaton's centre, the gardens were much larger and more beautiful back than.
They are still beautiful but would love to see more flowers.

I realize it's allot of work and money to provide a free inside garden to enjoy year round so I dare not complain and I love that there is still water falls through out and a piano anyone could play, as I sat there enjoying my lunch I was blessed with 3 different people playing beautifully.

I definitely recommend going there especially during the long winters to sit back and relax soaking in nature and sounds of water.
When I lived in Calgary I would often go there with a book to get some greenery and sun to liven up the long winters, I would still do that if I still lived there.

It's a little difficult to navigate to! The easiest path we found was to get on an elevator and go out to the fourth floor! There is a play ground, piano, and food court up there as well!

Great use if indoor space. As a interior architect, this was great to see. Urban use of city space is a valuable used one large commercial building space. Though there was area cut off for a private event.

An indoor garden situated in the heart of downtown Calgary and within the mall. It is open all year round. The place is clean and well-maintained. If you are working nearby, it is a perfect place for lunch breaks to get away from the daily grind. Visiting the place makes you forget about stress and deadlines at work, even for just an hour.
It's just a garden on the 4th floor of a mall. It has small pools for fishes and fountains. There's a place for kids so they can play and small tables for eating in the garden area. There is no need to pay to entry. When I arrived there was a guy playing piano which made the ambient very relaxing.

Devonian indoor botanical gardens in downtown, Calgary, managed by city of Calgary parks, is a wow place. Situated on the fourth floor of a high end mall on the East bound 3rd Street railway platform, this stunning, beautifully crafted, pristine-clean, and very well-maintained garden is simply amazing and awe-inspiring.

Had I not seen it, I would not have believed the indoor garden could be so stupendous and astonishing.

The stunning, uscenic, breathtaking views of gardens with a variety of trees, plants, flowers, shrubs, cacti, living walls, alluring ponds, water fountains, and walls decorated with artifacts are beyond words - it is just phenomenal.

Moreover, like outdoor parks, there is an eye-catching play area with some enticing equipment to amuse children with sitting arrangements for parents to keep an eye on their children.

The park that has benches at numerous places, also, has a humongous food court with several eateries to choose from and hundreds of cozy sitting arrangements.

This is a must visit place in an outstanding mall in Calgary which is in the vicinity of the Calgary tower and the famous Stephen Avenue known as pedestrian mall. It is a heavenly place that has everything to fill its visitors with elation and tranquility.

Entrance to the Devonian Gardens is free, but Unfortunately, the mall and the gardens close by 6:00 pm; I wish they were open until 10 pm, in summer.
