Reviews


I was captivated by its beauty, so mesmerized that time simply slipped away. If you find yourself nearby, don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in this stunning garden!







I went for an event about the plants and process of how tea is made. It was only available in German which I don't speak but with using my translator I was able to get the gist of what was being said. The gardens themselves were beautiful and many of the signs had English translation
The garden stays open quite late but be sure to give yourself plenty of time to explore as it is a fairly large property with many rooms. They have orchids for sale during specific hours and the staff was very friendly. I didn't have time to check out everything but there is apparently a restaurant, mini putt and a play area...there are also many bathrooms throughout. A great place and a very reasonable entrance fee

Really fun experience and tour of the Frankfurt palm gardens. There is an entry fee to get in, which can we bought in advance or on the spot - depending on the time of day, the line shouldn't be too long. The gardens are pretty vast, so it won't appear too packed. There's so many different things to see inside - plants, shrubs, trees, insects - both indoors and outdoors.



























This place was so beautiful! I will definitely come back, there is so much to see that in 3 hours we didn’t manage! So many different plants and species and you can take really great photos. I guess in spring has to be the best time of the year for a visit at the PalmenGarten.
There is also a nice cafe and the possibility to rent little boats 🛶 powered by foot.

A lovely place. Has descriptions of all historical displays, including old houses in different times in history. All descriptions/explanations are available in German, no English.





Immer wieder eine schöne Reise in die Vergangenheit. Die Traktorenausstellung ist der Hammer und für Liebhaber ein unbedingtes Muss. Die Mähdreschersimulation ist spielerisch genial. Leider haben wir den Rückwärtsgang nicht gefunden. Gibt es denn keinen??? Das Gelände ist sehr gepflegt und informativ ausgeschildert.












Many different beautiful flowers and lots of different plants and Cactus. If your Nature's lovers, definitely Palmer Is the best to visit. Long hours to explore 2 or 3 hours depends how long you enjoy the views. Better bring your own water, because the cafe was near the entrance.










This is so calm and soothing. An experience 🤗





Very good coffee and splendid plumcake with cream! Enjoyable break on our birding trip. Highly recommendable!

It was lovely there, I really enjoyed it. Could have done without the swarm of cosplayers who were a bit too enthusiastic. But it's a beautiful place, so it draws everyone to want to visit.





Very cool, also with children. Bring new clothes to change, because there are several places to play with water.
Special flair with all these beautiful trees and plants in front of the skycrapers.
Parkingplaces right around the entrance.

Das Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg, ein sehr schönes Museum und es gibt sehr viel zusehen in und um dem Kiekeberg.
Ich war dieses Mal zum Thema Trecker dort. Dr. Trecker hat zum Treckertreffen gerufen und hunderte Trecker, Schlepper, Holder, LKW und vieles mehr gab es an zwei Tagen zu bestaunen und anfassen 😘.
Ein ❤️ für die kleinen, die sogar einige Runden mit allem was die Stadtkinder nur im Film oder Büchern zu sehen bekommen live zu erleben und mitfahren durften.
Immer gern wieder und sehr Empfehlenswert.

Eine freundliche Begrüßung sei hier als erstes erwähnt. Gewählt wurde der "Sylter Pannfisch" mit Dijonsenfsauce. Die Sauce ließ den Dijonsenf nur minimal erahnen und die Bratkartoffeln waren sehr fettig angebraten. Alles in allem, ertranken die Fischfilets der Art in der Sauce, dass hier ein Geschmack der verschiedenen Fischsorten nicht wahrgenommen werden konnte. Die Salatbeilage hingegen war sehr geschmackvoll. Der Grauburgunder schmeckte exzellent.

Very classy park in Leipzig






Super schöner Ort zum Staunen und entspannen. Nach einem Spaziergang kann man sich im Lokal verwöhnen lassen. So leckere Bratkartoffeln hatte ich lange nicht mehr. Die Königsberger Straße ist schön geworden. Aber gerne noch ausbaufähig. Alte Häuser und Scheunen treffen auf die 50er, 60er, 70er Jahre. TOP. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.





It's a big garden, and I highly recommend a visit. You can see different types of plants, from those in dry desert conditions to ones in humid jungles, all in one place. It's interesting to see how they take care of these plants. They offer student discounts too.














Very clean, peaceful, green, very interesting for nature lovers.

Schön anzusehen und vielfältige Pflanzenauswahl.
Da dieser Garten mehr Bildungs - als Erholungscharakter hat hat man mit dem Schlderlesen schon ordentlich zu tun…Aber man lernt wirklich eine Vielfalt von Pflanzen kennen die gut durchdacht bepflanzt sind.

Very beautiful park. It’s a place to have a great relaxation with friends and family. Also for great photo shooting.














sehr kinderfreundlich. super Kuchen, Desserts. immer wieder gern 🤤

















Beautiful location in the heart of Frankfurt. Lovely and fascinating garden with many buildings with flowers and plants from different parts of the world.
If you are a student and have the Goethe-Card, the entrance is free!
It is even good for picnic and check the website because you can find many programs like concert.

Lovely place, its so nice to walk around and see different types of plants and flowers. To see plants that you will never have a chance to see and to see plants you never thought existed its really worth it. But it was a shame the butterfly place was closed people say that was great as-well. Highly recommend if your in Frankfurt and interested in plants or parks.















It’s a surprise and bonus to our 1 month Europe trip.
We landed in Frankfurt, as a succulent lover, I always visit botanical gardens especially the ones with a good collection of succulents and cacti.
This is abundantly and breath holding visit.
Both the indoor and outdoor succulents and cactus, they also have some greenhouses not open to visitors, but you can definitely see the the glasses.
Best collection so far!
Of course their other gardens are also very well presented, love the carnivores collection. The palm one is so so.
We were wondering why don’t they call it Frankfurt botanical gardens instead of palms en garden!

Little peaceful Japanese style garden. A lot of koi :) not crowds when I visited so perfect for relax time

Very nice collection of plants



I really recommend to visit this botanical garden at night during its illuminated times, it's so beautiful 😍



Das Freilichtmuseum ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Die Gebäude sind alle schön anzuschauen. Interessant ist auch der Bereich, wo das Leben in den 50er/60er Jahren dargestellt ist. Dies sieht man in Freilichtmuseen eher seltener. Wenn man dann beobachten kann, wie ältere Besucher ihren Enkeln alles erklären, was sie selber einst besaßen und dies noch alles von früher kennen, dann ist dies ein herrlicher Ort wo auch mal die Älteren den Jüngeren mit leuchtenden Augen die Welt erklären können. Einfach wunderbar.






Wir sind durch Zufall auf dieses Restaurant gestoßen und waren gleich begeistert.
Die Bedienungen waren gleich sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Auch während des Abends wurde immer gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung wäre.
Die Auswahl der Speisen war sehr gut und wir wurden auch schnell fündig.
Das Essen war sehr schön angerichtet und geschmacklich war es sehr gut.
Wenn wir das nächste mal wieder in der Nähe von Rantum sind, würden wir hier garantiert wieder Essen gehen.

Ein sehr schönes Freilichtmuseum! Personen bis Volljährigkeit zahlen keinen Eintritt, für Erwachsene gibt es die Möglichkeit eines Kombi Tickets mit dem Tierpark Schwarze Berge, ansonsten 9 Euro. Auf dem Gelände befinden sich viele Alte Häuser aus Norddeutschland incl. der damaligen Einrichtung. Es gibt für Kinder diverse Tiere zum Gucken auf dem Gelände (Hühner, Gänse, Schweine), auch kleine Ferkel und eventuell auch Gössel. Auch ein kleiner Spielplatz ist vorhanden. Interessant ist auch das Indoor Museum mit alten Landmaschinen. Mir persönlich haben sehr gut die bunten Bauerngärten und Fallobstwiesen auf dem Gelände gefallen.





I highly recommend walking the larger park with big trees and various wooded trails in addition to the Japanese area. I also recommend making a stop here if you are driving between Köln and Dusseldorf. It's windy today and the trees are waving all around, air so fresh.




Quiet, relaxing spot. It's so beautiful and I can imagine during the week you could have this place to oneself.


A little taste of Asia. It's small and but not popular so you can always find a quiet corner. There are rules at the entrance that encourage visitors to be respectful of the garden and conduct themselves peacefully.

Really nice people in a beautiful island of nature! It's a voluntary cared for nature "reserve" for education, honey production and plant conservation.



Schönes Restaurant mit leckeren Speisen an der Straße mit eigenen Parkplätzen. Der Service ist blitzschnell und das Essen war sehr lecker. Der Preis ist jedoch etwas gehoben. Wir haben das Restaurant zufällig beim Vorbeifahren entdeckt und waren froh, das es zur Mittagszeit noch ausreichend freie Plätze verfügbar gab.

Wie Paradies
















Its a beautiful place, loved the diversity of plants. Well maintained must go of you are a nature lover, you would love the walk through this whole place. They have specific sections for different regions on planet and they are climate controlled inside.

Lohnt nicht.













Its a very beautiful, small Japanese garden with free access. The landscape was breathtaking. Recommend a visit if you are in Bonn....



























Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und die Bedienung sehr freundlich.
Der Kuchen sehr lecker und große Stücke.
Wer hier für Kaffee und Kuchen eine Pause einlegen möchte, kann sich in einem Strandkorb zurücklehnen und die Ruhe geniessen.

Ein wunderschönes Freilichtmuseum das einen Besuch wert ist. Es wird auch für Kinder etwas geboten. Mir persönlich haben die Siedlungsgebäude und Geschäfte der 50/60 Jahre gefallen. Die Landwirtschaft- Ausstellung ist auch sehenswert. Es wird nicht der letzte Besuch dort gewesen sein.





Definitely worth a visit. Clam, quite, neat and clean. Nice place to hang out or have a picnic with family and friends.












The layout of the gardens was amazing, beautiful specimen trees and garden bedding. Most of the site is level, with one area near the large lake having a drop down to it, but only gentle, so very easy for a gentle stroll and plenty of wheelchair access for the whole site, you won't miss a thing.



Sonniger Nachmittag mit warmem Pflaumenkuchen und Apfelkuchen und lecker Kaffee im wunderschönen Garten, entspannte Atmosphäre, flinkes und sehr zuvorkommendes nettes Personal. Sylt von seiner angenehmsten Seite.






Ein wunderschönes Café und Restaurant mit ganz vielen liebevollen Details, sowohl im Garten als auch innen. Das Thunfischfilet im Sesammantel, Wasabi-Mayonaise, Süßkartoffelpürree und einem asiatischen Gurkensalat war der Hammer! Auch das Wiener Karlsschnitzel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Unser Kellner war aufmerksam und sehr freundlich...mit einem guten Touch von Humor. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder beim nächsten Syltbesuch 👍😁












A park for nearly all seasons but especially nice in the spring. From March to June there are special viewings of camellias and roses, and special events from time to time during the warmer seasons. Personally my favourite is between end of April and first half of May, when some of the grounds are covered with bluebells -- it is not comparable to the bluebell-covered woodlands in the UK, but this may be the only place within Frankfurt where one can see large areas of the bells.
It is big enough to never feel crowded once you are in. Not all the spaces of the greenhouses are open all the time, however.

Really beautiful but a little alarmed at creatures on grass and in water. Water rats??









The Palmengarten in Leipzig is a true gem among the city's many parks and green spaces. One of the standout features of this lovely park is its pathway that runs alongside the nearby river. Walking along this path is a truly delightful experience, with stunning views of the water and the surrounding trees and vegetation. The pathway is well-maintained and provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In addition to the pathway, the Palmengarten is home to many valuable and unique trees, many of which were sourced from the botanical garden's tree nursery. The park is also a great place for families, with several play areas for children to enjoy.
One particularly magical experience is visiting the Palmengarten during a full moon. The path beside the river is illuminated by the moonlight, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere.
Even in the winter, the Palmengarten is a wonderful place to visit. The pathway is transformed into a snowy wonderland, and visitors can enjoy building snowmen and taking in the serene beauty of the park.
One interesting feature of the nearby river is the Palmengarten weir, also known as the Elster weir. This historic structure was built in the early 20th century to regulate water levels in the river, and it remains an important part of Leipzig's water management system today. Visitors to the Palmengarten can observe the weir and learn about its history and significance in the region.
There’s one small pond and fountain (unfortunately not operational right now) present at the middle of the park.
Though the park is very clean sometimes because of irresponsible park visitors you will see overflowing of bins or plastic bottles in the pond.

Ein liebevoll und weitläufig angelegtes Freilichtmuseum. Der Besuch ist eine Zeitreise. Wirklich lohnenswert.
Der Pflanzenmarkt ergänzte die Ausstellung wirkungsvoll. Eine tolle Präsentation vielerlei botanischer Raritäten. Leider war die Anreise durch die vielen Besucher und die Baustellen sehr beschwerlich und zeitaufwendig. Auf dem Gelände selbst war alles gut organisiert. Kaum Wartezeiten. Toll, dass Kinder keinen Eintritt zahlen müssen. Die Preise bei den Gastronomiebetrieben sind wirklich übertrieben. Für eine schlichte Bratwurst oder ein Stück Brot mit Speck und Schmand empfinde ich den geforderten Preis unverschämt. Aber der Laden brummte und die Nachfrage bestimmt den Preis 🙄. Das Museum selbst ist bei unserem Besuch zu kurz gekommen, so dass wir auf jeden Fall noch einmal wiederkommen werden .

A very cozy park. Close to Bayer. As I understood - this park was created by this company as an aspect of social responsibility of business.
An extremely charming block of Japanese landscape culture. when we were blooming camellias. Beautiful lawns with grass. In another corner, a luxurious casino and Versailles style with boxwood walkways and statues.
Many families with children. They conduct photo shoots in Japanese costumes.

Wow da kannste wat lernen.
Also etwas Zeit zum studieren mitbringen.

Peaceful and beautiful, is the right place where to chill, play sports, juggle (the jugglers community meet here). One of the places that deserve to be seen in Leipzig





Picturesque and calming place. Although it takes only 10min to pass through the whole park, this place definitely is worth visiting. There are also some fish in the lake. Perfect for sipping coffee while watching them.




One of the best if not the best Japanese gardens outside Japan. It is so spacious, over 15.000m2 and covering everything from torii gates to stone lanterns, bridges, statuettes, gorgeous scenery and perfect arrangement. Hidden in the end of the park, it is a true gem near Köln.


















Ein Apothekergarten (auch Arzneigarten, Arzneipflanzengarten, Medizinischer Garten, Heilpflanzengarten, lateinisch hortus medicus) ist ein Kräutergarten, in dem sich Heil- und Giftpflanzen, aber auch Gewürzpflanzen befinden können, die als Basisstoffe zur Herstellung von Arzneimitteln dienen. Giftpflanzen haben mit genauer Dosierung eigene Wirkungen meist in Kombination mit den Heilmitteln.
Manche Apotheker unterhalten Apothekergärten, beispielsweise als Lehrgarten für Auszubildende, Praktikanten und Laien. Außerdem gibt es Apothekergärten als Bestandteil Botanischer Gärten wie diesen als Bestandteil der Fakultät der Freien Universität Berlin.
Arzneimittelgärten wie dieser haben einen hohen Seltenheitswert und landesweit bestehen in dieser Grösse und Vielfalt weniger als ein Dutzend. Er hat seinen Ursprung im 16. Jahrhundert und war anfangs auch ein Kräutergarten und Hort für Pflanzen, denen man damals lediglich heilende Wirkung zusprach, heute befinden sich hier fast ausschliesslich nur noch Arzneipflanzen mit nachgewiesener medizinischer Wirkung.

Nice place to walk.



Great place for refreshing both body and mind. Tranquil environment. Lovely place full of nature.














Working at Bayer, this is one of the many treats as an employee. In the lunch break, have a stroll in the park laid out by Carl Duisberg himself 100 years ago. The tranquility and beauty of the selected flora also attracts many tourists - the garden is open to the public as well.




Beautiful bridges and ponds. Very scenic.

Ich kann leider nur sehr negativ berichten. Ich hatte Regalträger bestellt, in einer Größe, die meiner Meinung nach für ein etwas schwereres Regal geeignet hätten sein müssen. Leider haben sich diese total verbogen und waren somit ungeeignet. Meine Rücksendung wurde daraufhin nur unvollständig erstattet und ein Teil des Betrages einfach einbehalten. Auf meine Nachricht hat die Verkaäuferin nicht reagiert.

Ein sehr schöner, kleiner Laden! So viele liebevoll zusammengestellte Artikel, die das Zuhause noch schöner machen. Immer einen Besuch wert!

Mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichteter Laden, in dem man sehr schöne Geschenke finden kann!












Wonderful park. The park is very calm and relaxing. You can see all colors of trees there and have very nice and relaxing walks inside the park. There is a very beautiful lake in the park where they even have boat rides. They offer either rowing or pedal boats.







A picturesque small park in the heart of a bigger green grounds. Fantastic place for a walk especially with children.






Gorgeous place. This is probably my favorite park in all of Leipzig. No mather the season it always looks pretty.

















I love this place.
Although, closed due to Corona, however the park surrounding it is marvelous.
Very serene environment with a lot of views to different animals like tortoise, fish, ducks etc.
I love every bit of the time I spent here.

Top Geschäft. Super Auswahl. Sehr freundliche Dame, hilfsbereit und kompetent.

Wunderschöner Laden mit tollen Dekosachen im Shabby Chic oder Landhausstil.














Beautiful place to spend a sunny morning. 3 euro for adults and 1 for dogs is super affordable price. You can enjoy a good beer at the beergarden, or sit next to the fruit trees. The Japanese garden section is so peaceful and perfect for pictures. Awesome place

Toller Laden mit vielen Schätzen und einer aufmerksamen und herzlichen Inhaberin :-)

Ein total Schnuckeliger Laden liebervoll geführt von einer tollen Inhaberin!!

Sehr schöne Einrichtungd- und Dekorationsartikel- hier findet man bestimmt ein schönes Geschenk für sich selbst oder einen anderen lieben Menschen!


































The best bontanical garden! You can spend a lot of time here enjoying the nature and the beautiful varieties of Flora. Great choice for a family picnic.








Is a really beautiful garden. Really good taked care of and so many beautiful flowers.



Beautiful place. I liked it a lot. Families go there too and I like these family places!
