Grapevine Botanical Gardens

Beautiful place to take pictures! I went here for prom it was a bit overcrowded but ruby expect anything less. I’ve come here w couple of times on dates as well! Great place for a picnic!

This is a little gem! Although it is a very small park, it was perfect for a mini walk. Also found a shaded spot in the grass and did some tummy time with my 4-​month old. (On a yoga mat of course.) He loved being outside with all the beautiful flowers. He was mesmerized by the koi fish which was actually his first time to ever see fish.
There were a few other families there having pictures taken which the landscape is perfect for. Loved this little mini botanical garden and will definitely be going back!

Beautiful gardens. Enjoyed the koi pond and feeding the fish. Many opportunities for photos but not a very large garden. If you’re already in Grapevine ok for 30 minute stroll.

Cute little garden I enjoyed going with my daughter! There’s a park next to the garden so you could have a picnic on the grassy area with shades of the trees, go for a little walk around the garden, and finally play at the park with your children!

As great as FREE can be. The Grapevine Botanical Gardens is a really well groomed garden, full of picture opportunity. It’s a free garden so what’s there not to like?! As a «tourist» I appreciated the Texas nature scene versus the city. It’s a new view from living around the Tri-​state area full of cities. Also it’s definitely a great place for a photoshoot *wink wink*

Nice nature area in the middle of the city. The koi pond has lots of pretty fishies and entertainment for young and old. It is winter so not lots of flowers but everything is well maintained. My friend told me it is a popular place for wedding photographs.

Our photographer recommended this location for our family pictures and we found it to be a wonderful setting. Truly a gem tucked away for those that either want to relax or have a great photo shoot!

Beautiful place to take pictures. The only negative thing about it are all the mosquitoes. I was getting bit up like crazy! If you go don’t forget your repellant!

A small yet beautiful garden that is free of charge to check out. Me and my friends took a great load of pleasure as photographers capturing all the small and delicate beauties of this garden.
Love the «natur-​esque» atmosphere! And there wasn’t very many tourists in the area either, so it made for a great getaway place from all the craziness of the major cities. Not too mention you have way more privacy and flexibility while exploring the place with less people pushing and shoving you around.
Definitely a recommended place to check out if you’re looking for something low budget to do with some friends or even yourself.

It’s a nice place but small. It’s more of a photography back drop than anything. And I haven’t been once when I wasn’t over run by a bunch of kids on a field trip.

Found this place online was was immediately intrigued by the idea of a botanical garden less busy than the one in Fort Worth. It was a little hard to find at first because it’s so tucked into the surrounding trees, but once I found my way inside I was pleasantly surprised. While it is a bit lacking in the floral department, the garden is very well kept and quite beautiful. It includes a historically large tree and a quaint little koi pond. I definitely look forward to spending more time here again.

Small little location hidden away in Grapevine that I may have never known about if it wasn’t for Unilocal.Was looking for a nice little area to take my bro and his gf and since grapevine was close, we checked this place out.
Let me stress, it’s small but quaint. I was hoping for a little more, idk why, but it had a couple walkways and some plant descriptions. Still managed to get some good shots while we explored.
Parking is in a decent sized lot, but we were done in about 19 mins and we lingered for a bit to. Take it all in? Nice area to stop and have a lunch break if you’re in the area. I guess I just expected botanical garden to be a little larger and housing more floral arrangements. This was a lot of botany.

This is a great place to come out and see the Koi fish pond. It’s free and a great place to bring the family if your running around in between the northern mid-​cities. My wife didn’t expect it and really enjoyed the visit.

Good place to come for a small walk. Awesome koi fish pond. Bring change to feed the fish. This would be a lovely place for wedding pictures. Plenty of parking. Best clean bathroom my friend has seen. Our teenagers quickly got bored, but as for me and my BFF, we loved walking & chatting while enjoying all the beautiful scenery, birds, fish, flowers & fountain. And its FREE!!! Gave it a 4 star… They need to add more flowers :-)

Beautiful space. The plants are carefully curated and well maintained. Totally free to visit and get lost in the luscious plants, babbling brook, koi pond, and butterflies.
A nice, semi hidden retreat in the middle of Grapevine.
I highly recommend it!

Nice place to stretch you legs and kill an hour enjoying a stroll thru pretty grounds that wind among trees, shrubs, ponds, a small creek w koi and fountains. I occasionally eat lunch here on nice days

I’ve been here quite a few times over the years and hope to get back more often. This is a very modest botanical garden; small, a bit hidden, and definitely understated. You’ve probably driven by this little oasis on multiple occasions and haven’t realized that this secret garden exists. Good thing we’ve got this thing called Unilocal where people can share tips and reviews on their favorite local spots!
While there may not be a million plant varietals or guides or classes here, this mid-​cities garden has a ton of beauty to offer. Beautiful greenery, trees, plants, a koi pond, little bridges, walking trails, a fountain… This is the perfect place for a walk, a picnic, taking the kids out (there’s a playground/​jungle-​gym), and for taking professional pictures. My sister had her engagement pictures done here, and I’m guessing you could do bridal portraits without having to pay the big bucks you’d have to at the Fort Worth or Dallas gardens.
If you’re looking for a mellow, beautiful place to get outside this Spring, I’d definitely recommend these gardens. Just watch out; there tends to be several parents with young kiddos running amok, so try to go during the week!

One of the nicest botanical gardens i have been too.

First visit and probably won’t be my last. The staff are nice and passionate about what they do.

I’m a little bit ashamed of myself — we’ve lived walking distance from this garden for a year and half and just barely went for a walk in the Grapevine Botanical Gardens yesterday.
The reason was that, from the road, it looks tiny. I always wondered how they justified calling it a botanical garden when it appeared to take up less than an acre of land. Now I know — all the beautiful landscaping and walking trails are hidden back behind the trees.
It was such a surprise and it felt sort of like discovering the Secret Garden. Beautiful little trails, bridges, ponds, and gazebos are all hidden back there. The fact that it’s free and always appears to be open is even better. Truly a lovely little gem just hidden right in the middle of Grapevine.
One note — there were multiple families taking what were probably their Christmas pictures there. It made it a little awkward trying to walk around without getting in people’s shots. Still totally worth the visit!
