What a beautiful garden to come with your family. This was such a surprise to discover. Easy walking paved trails and so family and handicapped friendly as well. Don’t think about it, there are plenty of sitting spots everywhere you walk and comfy too. Everywhere you look is a perfect magazine shot! There was also a wedding party there and it was a perfect day for a wedding! The visitor center was super clean and organized. Easy parking and easy access everywhere.

Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna is an absolute oasis of beauty and tranquility. With its thoughtfully designed walking paths, it’s the perfect place to wander, unwind, and soak in nature. Every turn offers something breathtaking — from vibrant flowers and lush greenery to peaceful open spaces that invite you to pause and take it all in.

At the heart of it all is a serene pond, complete with a charming gazebo that extends over the water. It’s the ideal spot to sit, relax, and watch nature do its thing. And the koi fish? Absolutely stunning. Their brilliant colors glide effortlessly through the water, adding a touch of elegance to an already picturesque scene.

If you’re planning to visit often — and trust me, you’ll want to — their annual membership is definitely worth it. It’s a fantastic value for unlimited access to such a beautiful space, and it makes for a perfect excuse to return in every season to see how the gardens transform.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful solo stroll, a romantic afternoon, or a spot to gather your thoughts, Meadowlark Botanical Gardens offers a little slice of paradise. It’s a reminder of just how rejuvenating nature can be — and once you visit, you’ll be counting down the days until your next trip back.

Such a beautiful garden! Can't wait to go back when everything is blooming. The parking lot looked very full but when we went in there was plenty of space to walk and enjoy. It was nice to see the Korean Bell Garden.

Everything is clean and well kept. There are some trails we hope to go back and explore and lots of flowers. Koi fish and lots of turtles in their ponds. The tulips were beautiful.

We had a wonderful day. Very serene. Great place to go and walk or go sit read and relax!

Beautiful botanical garden with an accompanying 1.5 mile trail. There is a Korean Bell Garden that is also beautiful with traditional Korean architecture and sculptures. We were able to spot some turtles, deer, and a snake as well among all the plant life. This is a trip enjoyable for both adults and children as there are also many photo opportunities and at the moment even a seasonal egg hunt with a prize. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful when asking questions.

There were beautiful spring trees and flowers in bloom on the Sunday we visited. There are nice paved paths for walking. It is a steep walk down to pond area, so good walking shoes would be recommended.

Only been for the Winter lights, but A) they were awesome and B) plan to come back when it's warmer and everything is growing, cause I bet it's amazing. For the Lights, buy tickets in advance and show up on time. It took us about 50 minutes to walk the route and do the scavenger hunt with 3 kiddos, including watching at least one cycle of a song played out on lights. It's a really cool experience and I want some of these lights for my house now

The Winter walk of lights is amazing and definitely worth the trip. It was a nice trail filled with light works and plenty of spots to take pictures and for the kids to play around with. Would wish to have more food selection on the garden but it was perfect taking a stroll with your coffee or hot chocolate. It was also easy to book tickets online and the queue was very organized.

Bring your family for a weekend walking around, enjoy the beautiful flowers. I wish they have a small restaurant for both kids & adults. Highly recommend this botanical garden.
