Absolutely breathtaking! Must visit destination! Drinks are not readily.available throughout, so bring drinks and snacks . There are basically only cafe/restaurant at the entrance n exit.

If a really sunny hot day, look for umbrellas near ticket booth before entering. Also, bring a water container/cup/drinks with you to keep hydrated & sunscreen . $5 vend sandwich in the recept center

Carl Griffin

Beautiful botanic gardens . Recommend the Japanese garden .

Rachel Coker

Make sure to stop at the Insectarium ! Cool exhibits , and a nice break from the heat if you're visiting in the summer. Bring a bottle of water along; food/drink is hard to find and overpriced.

Marilina Gustafson

Simply beautiful to walk here! The Japanese garden is gorgeous. The fields of roses are gorgeous

Richard Revilla

One of the best parts of Montreal. Must visit when in the city .

Chris Thompson

Great area to stroll and see the interesting topiaries and plant collections. The insectarium is great for kids as well . Quite a busy spot on weekends but fun for all.

Michelle Linh

Like walking in paradise. The garden actually contains a lot of smaller gardens so it takes at least 2 days to visit all the places. Prepare a full charged camera . You don't wanna miss anything.

Policarpo al Fresco

This place is truly emblematic of Montréal! It's a fantastic destination for the entire family to enjoy. Highly recommended for a memorable visit!

Jardin des lumières so worth the price . Bring student ID for discounted rate. One of the few places in Montreal with free WiFi .

Hector Martinez

Arrive early it's open at 9:00 and the day it's not long enough, bring something to eat. In here it's a 7 dólar sándwich plus drink plus taxes. Ósea traiganse un gansito y una coca en l bolsa

Beautiful and amazing, must see in Montreal. Take your time to walk around the garden and see all sections!

If you are going to spend any length of time in the garden , pack food and drinks with your group. The lines are busy but so worth it.
