Free State National Botanical Garden reviews

It was ok, very expensive just for a walk around the garden basically. The staff aren't very friendly, and the dam was dirty. There was also nothing there to buy like cooldrink or anything, very thirsty.

Lush, tranquil gardens which are well maintained and worth a visit. There are walking trials to follow, all of which are scenic and well laid out. There are signboards with plant names sprinkled around. The venue is popular with families as a birthday celebration spot.

A hidden gem! Bloemfontein locals do not give this garden enough credit. One of the best things about it is how quite it is, when I was there, there were hardly any people. I walked 6km around the garden. The walk up the hill is a bit steep …

I was disappointed with my visit to the Free State National Botanical Garden. The entry fee was too expensive for what you get. The staff was not very friendly and the dam was dirty. There was also no food or drinks available. I would not recommend it.
