Dade Gardens

It's a lovely botanical garden. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, large and well kept. There are many different areas. I particularly liked the rock garden as well as rose and vegetable gardens. The benches are situated in a way that they are always in the shade, even on a hot summer day. Be prepared to spend good two hours there. The best part is that gardens are free to visit!

What a beautiful, well kept garden. So many different varieties of both sun and shade plants. I was mostly interested in shade plants for my shady yard. We took a casual stroll around the grounds and enjoyed the beautiful weather of Ontario. I highly recommend stopping by for a leisurely walk, and checking out all of the different plants and flowers that thrive there. While you're there, check out the butterfly conservatory.

Beautiful place to come visit, especially if you're already in the area. There's a gated parking entrance with an attendant. We came on the annual Niagara parks parking pass, so parking was included but I think they charged $6 to park. We strolled around there for roughly 2 hours. It's very diverse and easy to just get intentionally lost and discover new areas. Any plant lovers will definately enjoy this garden. Restrooms: By the front entrance and cafe.

Very beautiful place, fresh, relaxing and comfortable for us to walk around. The garden is so big and full of pretty plants and flowers. Staff is very nice at the entrance, patiently explained the parking fee and annual pass. We stayed at the tourist area of Niagara most of the time, just that this time came to this side because I bring my dog and want to walk with him. Unbelievable, will definitely come back in the future.

Do I recommend? Yes, 100%. Make sure to watch the video when you first enter. Once inside you’ll appreciate the first flight of the butterflies when they come out of the glass area. Also suggest you utilize the coat check so you can relax and enjoy this magical place. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. I toured twice and took my time and was there for about 1:15 minutes. Tons of butterflies everywhere. It’s like a mini tropical vacation.

My daughter was home from school for reading week and this is one of her favorite places to visit. Luckily my other daughter was also able to come with us. It's warm in here lol, so wear clothes you can strip off when inside. The butterflies are everywhere!!! Amazing to see them all! Especially in the different stages. Definitely worth the trip

Free admission to the gardens, but you have to pay for parking. This is a nice area, with some hidden gems. It was a bit wet the day we visited, but we still enjoyed it. There are several different areas, including a rose garden, a more formal style garden, a rock garden, vegetable garden and more. There also is a more natural, Prarie style area and a small pond. Well worth exploring to find all the little touches.

Access to the garden is free. The butterfly conservatory and parking is paid, with parking fees being hourly. Restrooms are available in the park and at the butterfly conservatory. The park itself is beautiful with a short walking trail that is dog friendly. A fountain with an enclosed garden can be found in the middle. Lots of older buildings can be seen as well. Great for photos!

Very big park with lots of gardens and beautiful flowers. Beautiful trees and fountains. Pretty pond as well. Very peaceful place to visit with very little tourists on a weekday. Children were running straight through the garden beds though, which is not necessarily the fault of the gardens.

I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoy beautiful spring and some peace and quiet. I went there around 9 am and there were not many people around and it was beautiful. I took my dog for a walk and it was so peaceful. It started getting busy around 10 am and the parking was almost full by 12pm. I suggest going in the morning because it was so peaceful. All the staffs and workers were extremely helpful and friendly.
