The Amarillo Botanical Gardens is a small garden that packs a big punch. The individual areas of the gardens flow together easily making the visitor feel like they are a part of the gardens. There are benches and seating throughout the garden encouraging people to sit and enjoy the space. The day we were there we saw many people doing just that, talking with each other and enjoying the coolness of the gardens in the heat of the day. Parking at the gardens is plentiful and admission fee reasonable. It is easy to see the gardens quickly or take your time to really enjoy the plants, flowers, and space.

The facility is quite small. Also, the majority of the plants were not identified. We have been to a number of Botanical Gardens and this one was the most disappointing.

Thanks Amarillo Extended Stay! We were traveling through and we needed to find a place, that wasn't too expensive and that was quiet cuz my daughter somehow had a stomach bug! And we unexpectedly needed to find a place quiet. This was nice quiet and good prices. Thank you to the staff and Nikki Bowman!!

Though more compact than larger city gardens, the Amarillo Botanical Gardens impressed with thoughtful landscaping, curated plantings, and an intimate, accessible design. A morning visit, before the rise in temperature, made for an ideal experience. The garden’s scale allowed for a more personal connection to its surroundings, creating an environment equally suited for quiet reflection or casual strolls. A worthwhile stop for those seeking a pause amid nature on the Texas plains. 9/10

What a treat! The garden is beautiful and in full bloom. I was astonished at the variety of flowers and the beauty of the gardens.Admission price is very reasonable and well worth the price.
