Went on 12/15/2022 Elf Night. Drove over an hour from my home to get there. There was an accident just one street from the park and it took an hour to get just two streets over to the park from the accident. Got in the park with my four year old grandson and my granddaughter who wanted to see Santa and Mrs. Claus so bad. That was the main reason we went. When we got to Santa and Mrs Claus we were told that they ran out of tickets and we would have to wait for them to start the numbers over again. They said they would tell everyone when they were going to do this. There was so much noise and so many children screaming and playing that we didn’t hear them. But we went back to them just 20 minutes after we had left them. When we got back up there the girl tells us that there is no more tickets ( the tickets are free and they are just numbers). There were only about 6 people in line to see Santa and mrs Claus at that point ( yes they were still there) but even after explaining that we drove over an hour and that there was an accident in front of there place and that we couldn’t hear them say they were giving numbers and showing her that there were only a few people in line and showing her that Santa was still there, she refuse to let my grand babies see Santa. They lost there home in a storm they don’t have any money in fact they don’t have much of anything. They are staying with me for now. My husband was seriously injured on the job and lost his job so we don’t have much either. But I thought I would take them to see Santa and have some semblance of fun in their life. With just the few people there and Santa still sitting there with the four year old looking right at him and the lady turning us away and the four year having a melt down not understanding why Santa was right there and this lady said no you can’t see him, I think Dorothy B. Oven should be ashamed. If it was a ton of people in line I could understand but it was only like six people. I’m sorry but this was just wrong. These kids have nothing and Dorothy B. Oven ( or their employees) made sure it stayed that way.

This is one of Tallahassee's best kept secrets. Actually, it feels like the Secret Garden. This park + garden is full of charm and beauty. It's a wonderful spot for a peaceful picnic to escape the busy city. Spring or early summer are my favorite time to stop in.

Even though it had just rained, we were able to walk around the nice buildings and beautiful gardens.

A small and lovely park that use to be a camellia nursery. Loads of blooming trees in the late Fall and winter. Restrooms and nice waling areas. Good parking. A 2 person swing for relaxation. No entrance fees.

I'm so glad my daughter had taken me here a couple times. The gardens are so lovely and it is a lovely place to walk around and enjoy nature and all the lovely gardens and flowers. They have so many flowers blooming so it is even very fragrant. We had a extra special time when we went there at night also to enjoy their lovely Christmas light dispay and enjoyed all the lights , decorations and music. If you are in this area, you should go here at the holiday times to see their lovely displays. It is even FREE
