Southeast Botanical Gardens

Choose the daytime gardens if the family wants to see the palms and tropical planting. The seasonal nighttime illuminations offer a different reason to go, so look at the event dates and ticket before building them into the itinerary. A daytime visit lets photographers stop without delaying anyone who wants a shorter garden walk. For an evening outing, decide how late everyone wants to stay and arrange dinner around that plan. The official page distinguishes daytime, nighttime and combined admission. This is useful when the same family includes an early-rising child and adults interested in the lights.
