National Botanic Garden of Wales
Our mission to inspire, educate and conserve has not only made us a beautiful place to visit but a fascinating and relevant one too. We have an amazing collection of over 8000 different plant varieties, spread across 560 acres of beautiful countryside. We've developed a stunning range of themed gardens that appeal to a wide range of visitors, from those who just love the sight and smells of flowers to those who want to know about medicinal plants or the latest DNA research into plant evolution.We are very family friendly. There is always plenty of activities for families to do in school and bank holidays, and we have a year round diverse programme of events that appeals to a wide range of visitors.We have the world's largest single span glasshouse, designed by Lord Foster, that has the best display of mediterranean climate zone plants in the Northern hemisphere.
Review
The National Botanic Garden is truly Wales's answer to England's Eden Project. I was in awe of the place when I first visited, I definitely wish I had more time to have seen everything, but at least now I have an excuse to go back! What we at Top 100 Attractions absolutely adore is attractions that help us to learn and understand our natural habitat, but with the slick way the team at the National Botanic Garden do it is very hard to beat. There is always something happening here and you will truly need to set aside a whole day to see everything, which in our estimation is fantastic value for money. Also with a couple of cafes and a good food restaurant you needn't worry about what's for lunch?
