Buffalo winters are cold. Where can can you go? Welcome to the warmth & beauty of the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. Every year, tens of thousands of people visit the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. Visitors will experience a 32,000 square foot showcase of indoor garden space in addition to the outdoor exhibits. Check website for the next buffalo botanical gardens orchid show.
In January of 2017 2 new exhibits were created at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. Namely, the Aquatic Garden and the Asian Rain forest. It's no wonder why the Botanical Gardens will excite for generations to come.
The Buffalo Botanical Gardens first began in 1868. Formerly named, The South Park Conservatory (named so because it's located in South Park) the Buffalo Botanical Gardens was constructed between 1894-1900 on 156 acres of farmland and then it was later re-named the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. At the time it was the largest public collection of greenhouses anywhere in the country. The 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo helped spread the success of the South Park Conservatory by providing trolley rides from downtown Buffalo to the conservatory.
One-hour guided tours are available for $10 per adult ($9 for seniors).
