Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

A lovely place to take the spouse and kids. Parents, you won't have to worry about entertaining the kids. This place have a children's garden , a pond with koi and turtles , and a number of sculptures .

The Meadowlark Botanical Gardens contains over 95 acres of gardens . Don't forget to bring your camera to capture all the different flowers .

Don't miss the Korean Bell Garden nestled in Meadowlark 's sprawling park . This is the only public Korean Bell Pavilion in the entire Western Hemisphere & uses both Korean & Virginian art on its face.

This i a great botanical garden . Very relaxed and very beautiful. There are a lot of weddings in the atrium and gazebo . It also has a pond here too. Bring a camera and go during the spring/summer.

Christmas lights are great here! I’ve visited during summer as well and it’s good place to be there. $5 is the entry fee in to the Garden .

The Winter Walk of Lights is worth the visit. You see many displays along the walk. I especially enjoyed the river with the fish , geese , beavers, etc. The lights synced with music are always fun!

Looks amazing. Took a free yoga flow class for the summer solstice here today. The garden offered free admission after the class but I couldn't stay. Hope to be back soon to enjoy all the splendor.

Winter Walk of Lights is a MUST SEE during the holiday season. You HAVE TO get the 3D type glasses, the viewing experience is not the same without them.

Beautiful way to connect with nature at this beautiful botanical garden , complete with Gazebo,Korean Bell and pond . Very Zen!

Nice gardens in DC suburbs, with lots of Virginia native plants and cherry blossoms if you don't want the crowds

Gorgeous place to have a wedding especially in the spring, summer and fall months. Great food and excellent staff .

If you have a membership to another botanical gardens , let them know when purchasing a ticket and you might be able to get in for free.

One of the area's hidden gems . Well worth a membership if you live in the area.

Kids under 7 admit free. Everyone else 5$ for all day pass.

Excellent place for hiking and travelling. Come during Christmas time to see the lights !!!

Did you know? Several gardens here highlight the diversity of Virginia’s native flora, from the native plants and animals of the wetlands, to the state 's many native trees .

Buy a bag of fish food for $1 at the front desk when you buy your admission - you'll attract a lot of attention at the gazebo in the big pond !

Beautiful place and I am going to go when it's Christmas time and look at the lights.

there's a connector path that will allow you to access meadowlark gardens from the w&od trail

Gorgeous gardens . Worth a visit if in the area

Beautiful setting all seasons. Plenty of room for kids to run around. No dogs.

This place is quite good also in winter. I am looking forward for a spring visit.

Gorgeous anytime of year, have to ring the bell in the Korean garden .

Beautiful!

This place is a Winter Wonderland!

It was very nice. But the 'perimeter' trail only goes halfway around. What's up with that?

Watch out for geese poop! It litters the sidewalks. :-)

Gorgeous gardens that are perfect for a long walk

Even on gorgeous days like this this place is never crowded . Really beautiful here.

If you want smoggy air, asphalt, and steel towers, then this isn't the place for you.
