Alaska Botanical Garden

The Alaska Botanical Garden was well maintained and cared for. Lots of varieties of flowers, shrubs and art work scattered throughout the garden. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a little short of a visit for the cost, but it was a very pleasant experience that I didn't mind it. I would recommend it.

Very impressive stop in Anchorage. All outdoor exhibit, easy paved walk unless you want to take the "bonus trail." Unlike any other Botanical gardens... and by the way there's a chance to see a moose or bears! I would return for sure!

When traveling in Alaska we saw many interesting flowers we had never seen before which spurred our interest in going to the Alaska Botanical Garden. You should bring your bug and bear sprays. It is a small garden but very interesting and inexpensive. We had a nice walk through the gardens but stayed off the wooded trails because it was our last day in Alaska and we had already given up our bear spray!

Great place to take a stroll and appreciate some well manicured flora. There is a trail that takes you behind the gardens and runs down to a stream. While the path in the garden is largely paved and it's accessible on stroller or wheelchair, the trail is not as forgiving. Overall loved it and loved the moment to slow down and appreciate everything

This is a wonderful place to visit in Anchorage, especially if you enjoy trails and you're interested in learning more about the local plants of Alaska. There are specialized gardens, such as an herb & spice garden, and a trail with many nooks where local plants like spruce trees, devil's club, fiddleheads, berries and more can be seen during the summer and early fall. If you like gardening, there's an annual plant sale in late spring (May) where you can buy starter plants. And even though there is less to see in winter, this botanical garden is open year round so you can visit anytime. If you love the natural environment of Alaska and love botany, then this is the place for you!
