Absolutely wonderful little playground. Very nice and friendly staff, so many different play areas. They even had pull around wagons, a bug spray cart, and baskets of toys in different areas. 100% worth the price of admission and we will DEFINITELY be back.

We absolutely LOVED this place!!! There was so much to explore! It was $17 for the two of us, and definitely worth it! We stayed for hours until we were all sweaty and dirty and hungry. ? We will definitely be back. It was such a magical experience. It’s literally a hidden gem. It’s off a back road and the entrance is hidden away. Just my kind of place. We are in love with nature! They do have water for sale, but I would definitely recommend bringing a big jug. They also have bug spray on a cart for everyone to use which was definitely needed because it’s surrounded by plants and trees. We didn’t need sunscreen because it’s all shaded. They also have a Lilly pad pond, bridges over streams, a dress up house, a puppet stage with a basket full of puppets, and multiple little “cottages”. There’s so much to climb on, which my son loved. It was very relaxing for me and very stimulating for him; It was so magical for both of us. We will definitely be back! Thank you for creating this world of wonder for all to enjoy!!!

The absolute cutest place. I am a huge fan or nature and imagination for learning and exploring and this place is a hidden gem. Hot but so worth it and the staff is beyond friendly!! My 3 year old didn’t want to leave lol

We easily spent 3 hours there today! While it is hot and buggy outside (such is Florida in July) the trees provide a great cover. Bug spray was at the entrance which was super nice. My kids loved the dress up area, mud kitchen, and tree house. One of my kids made the mistake of eating the dirt in the kitchen and I was happy to find out they don’t use pesticides. Will be returning for an event. Definitely worth the hour drive and will recommend

A great place for children to embrace nature and spark their imagination. Plenty of shade and misters for them to cool down.

My 16 month old loved it! We will definitely be coming back. I wish we had something like this when I was a child.

A cute little hidden gem in the heart of Sarasota. Even in the summer heat, the garden is almost entirely covered in shade and there are water misters in the bamboo so it was a fun day.

The Sarasota children’s garden is a lovely place full of fun and safe activities for the little ones to explore and connect with nature. My son loved the pirate ship. The high tree give a beautiful cover from the sun, but Be prepared for the mosquitos though!!

Great idea but poor execution. Staff is very friendly and kind. Having a garden with play areas for the kids (3-6 years old maybe) is great, but not worth the money. It’s something you go to for maybe 45-minutes for the experience, but this was not what we thought it would be, or what it seemed to be online.

Hot, bugs all over you, the theater was hot and not at all as advertised. Dirty, broken things everywhere. Very small not much to do. Bad area. Will not be returning. I wanted so much to like this place considering it's a non profit. At the same time maybe invest in new equipment everything's so old and broken down

Amazing hidden gem in town. I loved it as much as my kids did. So much to do and see. Flowers, sculptures, art, stone walkways, sand pit, misting bamboo forest, puppet shows, trains, oversized rocking chair, garden maze, pirate ship, jungle gym and swing bridge, oversized art, stage, and so much more! You could definitely spend hours here. I was smiling and laughing the whole time. Ample parking. There is a gift shop. There is a restroom, but I would advise against it.
