Marie Selby Botanical Gardens

Such a wonderful place to explore. They have great music events and art exhibits , and there tea !!!

The koi pond at Marie Selby gardens is spectacular. The gardens are quiet and relaxing. Be sure to check out the tea shop , and don't forget the mosquito repellant !

Volunteers that work here are so delightful. Very helpful & informative. Ladies at the mansion took the time to personally show us around. Beautiful. Best way to spend my 36th birthday. Going back!

One of my favorite weddings venues in the Bay Area, gardens are gorgeous, right on the water, art on display in the museum and cafe as well

Beautiful! We attended a wedding here, very scenic . And I like how Selby pays homage to different cultures. Also, check out the memory bricks in the butterfly garden .

Great, peaceful place . Beautiful, sunny weather, friendly staff . Great to visit families with kids.

Such a beautiful place, definitely worth a visit! If you're local, it pays to get a membership. Don't miss the lights around Christmas time . :-)

Beautiful centre. They have lots of wonderful things. Restaurant and gift shop too ! Even a Sacred Nandi statue. Whisper in his ear your wishes

Beautiful two to three hour adventure. Very relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Bring bug repellant ! Don't forget to hug the hugging tree .

Stop by the welcome center to see if the Koi fish have been fed! If they haven't, you can feed them.

Gorgeous gardens . Fabulous concert series. Great for special events , and holidays such as Mother's Day and Fourth of July

Selby Garden remains one of Sarasota's Gems....it is transformational walking through the gardens ...beautiful backdrop for photo shoots (I had my 40th Bday there and had all of the lawfirm's corporate

If you still have a student ID, this would be the time to use it. You'll save bookoo $ on your admission. The gardens are well worth a visit, but a bit pricey without the discount .

One of the most gorgeous natural places I've ever seen. Love their butterfly garden . Word to the wise...wear mosquito repelant !!!

Beautiful gardens , bay view , orchids , concerts and special events

Be sure to check out the mangroves . A beautiful park that I hope to visit again.

Go see the epiphyte room! Wow! What a great, healthy collection they have. Impressive shopping as well , with the tea house and the plants area.

The holiday light show at night is pretty awesome. 3d glasses a nice touch but not really needed.

I had an amazing time! Serene and Beautiful, and with it all lit up at night... Ahhhh

Beautiful place to go to if you're in the Sarasota area.

Children’s rainforest park , orchids , garden , mangroves

Got to take a walk through the tree house:-)

Don't forget to buy fish food at the front desk - the Koi are like piranhas! :)

Bring a picnic lunch for a great day exploring!

They no longer honor reciprocal memberships from Sunken Gardens . We will not be returning
