This place is beautiful and what a testament to one man’s vision. Who knew beautiful flowers existed in a rainforest in Alaska? If flowers and gardens make you feel peaceful, this is the tour for you! Carol Marie was a great driver and tour guide. My husband thought this stop was the highlight of our trip to Alaska - and so did I!
It is a beautiful place with all the flowers and rain forest. View from top of the mountain spectacular.
Incredible story of turning a landslide into something so beautiful and keeping plants native as well as protecting our ecosystem. Great views at the top. Lovely gift shop.
Beautiful reception area with hanging flower baskets. Impressed they had our paperwork so no problem being admitted. Grounds are very well landscaped and guide clearly described the various plants and geography of the site. Granddaughters were impressed and not bored at all since the path through the gardens is an interesting drive
It rains all the time in Juneau, it seems, but this is a rain-or-shine garden! A large electric cart takes about 15 guests at a time up the side of the mountain to show off the work of a man who has a passion for flowers. The driver/guide is witty, explaining the grounds. Upside-down trees have been made into beautiful planters along the way. At the top, riders can get out and walk on a wooden boardwalk to a lookout over the Juneau airport. Then, the cart takes the group back down to the visitor center. The center contains a gift shop, a little cafe, and a sitting area. Also, a TV monitor displays the image from a nest cam where a baby eagle lives in a tree on the property! Lovely, thoughtful displays. We noticed that we were the only people present who did not come here with a cruise-boat excursion, but it didn't matter. We took the city bus from downtown and saved some money! Note that the cart ride described in my review is the only way to visit you may not walk on your own. My only gripe: Why did I pay Viator a couple dollars MORE than the actual price of admission, and then find my own way on the city bus to boot?!
Absolutely beautiful!! Reasonably priced. Personnel were friendly and helpful. They were very informed about the garden and its' plant life.
A worthwhile tour. Great garden concepts and the ride up the hill with a garden view of Juneau.
The gardens and guide were excellent . The only gripe is that we were told to catch a bus close to the pier. We found a place next to a gift shop but no-one had any idea of where the bus was. We eventually caught a taxi and returned by bus. Feel that the name of the street next to the bus terminus should have been given rather than vague instructions like bus stop is 5 mins from pier.
This is an absolute wonderland of color and beauty! I have 8 black fingers and 2 black thumbs and I had a wonderful time! If you have time, be SURE to go visit the gardens!
