UC Riverside Botanic Gardens - Riverside (CA)

5 /5 Verónica Flores De León: 1st time here. Went kind of late. We arrived about 1 hour and a half until closing. Didnt get to see it all. I love to take pictures,really take it all in, and appreciate the beauty. So maybe it would take me 3 hour visit. The trails are fun. You do get a work out my calves were sore the next day. The staff there was so nice and helpful.

5 /5 Fatimah Zhala: Ive been here 2 times now, and I absolutely love it. Its an escape from the desert life and very lush. It has a lower level that is where the flower and rose gardens are which could be suitable for being pushed in a manual wheelchair or electric. The ground is hard to roll on but not concrete or asphalt. There is also a long steep trail that goes uphill and all the way around with great views of the area, trees, and plants from all over the world. There are seats to rest on all throughout the gardens if you get tired and and spacious bathrooms in a few places as well. There just isnt another place like this, I just love it. The staff is very kind and informative. The best time to go is early morning right when they open so you can hear all the birds, also for cool temperatures.

5 /5 Ondrej Trecha: Cozy and lovely place to stroll around. Donation welcomed, no entry fee. We took a bingo ticket at the entrance, which was fun and extra activity to focus on. Its a quiet place with some nice vistas.

5 /5 Amit Kumar: A great garden with a wide variety if plants trails for low and medium levels and free to visit except for the university parking fee. Beautiful during spring and fall and still worth visiting throughout the year. Volunteers are extremely helpful and their activity schedule has something for every age posted on regular basis.
