The Reiman Gardens are a beautiful and tranquil place to visit in the busy college town of Ames about half an hour North of Des Moines. Located just far enough from campus so parking is not a problem (except on football days), I arrived after a thunderstorm had come through, so it was a little cloudy and wet, but I still had an enjoyable visit. Besides the gardens there are sculptures that change (aliens were the theme when I visited). The butterfly house was wonderful, though a little too warm on my visit, but the butterflies were plentiful and I got great pictures. Tulips, pansies and flowering trees were the main attraction in late May, but don’t miss the very pretty wooded glen at the south end of the garden.

Always have visited in December when my husband attends a track clinic in Ames. His comment on the butterfly wing was that it reminded him of the playground at recess(we are both retired teachers) with the perpetual motion of the butterflies but with one exception-the silence! Such a nice relaxing place to visit on a cold winter day. The conservatory is always beautifully decorated and even walking the grounds outside provides many photo ops. Would love to come back sometime in the summer and see the gardens in full bloom.

We really appreciate your positive review of Reiman Gardens. I'm so happy we were able to pleasantly surprise you with orchids and butterflies during your trip to Iowa this January.

Thanks for your review. I'd glad you enjoyed the butterflies and the respite from the Iowa winter. I would encourage you to visit again during the warmer months because we've got 17 acres of outdoor gardens which really amplifies the visitor experience.

Thank you so much for your positive comments about Reiman Gardens as a tropical oasis from winter. We hope to see you back at the Gardens this summer. We've got 17 acres of outdoor gardens waiting for you to explore.

We have never been to the gardens, and unfortunately, we did not have enough time to explore all the displays and gardens! We really enjoyed the Bonsai seminar and displays.

We spent the last night of a recent cross-country trip in Ames. When we booked our lodging, the hotel mentioned being close to some "gardens" near the university - so, not knowing what we would find, we decided to make them our one "local flavor" stop before our last day's drive home.This attraction is located on the south end of the Iowa State University campus - across the parking lot from the football stadium. It is seventeen acres of trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, landscapes, hard-scapes, water features, and sculptures - so varied and extensive that it might better be called an arboretum. And then there is the conservatory with interesting aqua and aeroponic exhibits, and finally, the amazing Butterfly House. We will be back.

Loved the butterfly house and surrounding gardens. I highly recommend this stop. Wish I live closer to see the seasons change.

Great gardens. Fun place for children. The lily ponds when blooming are beautiful and the frogs on the lily pads are fun to watch.
