If you like to see brides, come here on a friday afternoon ;-) It's a parc with all kinds of trees and flowers.
Even in the middle of winter it is well worth visiting this place. An exotic variety of shapes and colours can be found on an amazing collection of pine trees and other evergreens. The hostas are not visible at this time, but there is plenty to keep the observant interested and plenty of space to simply drift around in peaceful surroundings. If you are at all interested in plants and/or you are tired of being dragged around the endless shopping streets of Rotterdam, this is a must! I will have to come back in spring. The gift shop is a bit expensive and the tearoom was shut.
Something to see all the year round. Peace and tranquility in a busy city. Well maintained.Plenty of places to sit and enjoy
Very beautiful designed botanic garden. Worth visiting in every season. Lovely teahouse (with only short opening hours, which is a pity)
My girlfriend and I visited in June 2014 and, whilst we did enjoy the visit, we didn't find it as amazing as the reviews suggested it to be. At €6.50 each, we didn't really get anything more out of it than a few pretty pictures. It really was lovely to walk around, but we didn't find the experience much different from any of the other (free) gardens we've been to.
Went with my family. We all enjoyed the great variety of beautiful plants. Very tidy, nicely looked after with care. The kids liked the turtoises that sat along the small canal. Nice smells of spring and newly cut grass. A cosy stroll in beautiful surroundings.
What a magnificent garden! We were there when the rhodos and azaleas were peaking. If you are a real garden enthusiast you will truly appreciate the planning that went into this Eden. The sheep add to the feeling of serenity. Specimen trees throughout the arboretum.
In a busy city like Rotterdam it's a really nice quiet and peacefull place to get away for a couple of hours. Not expensive as far as I remeber. Less than 10 euro's per person.
Rarely to find in a busy city like Rotterdam to see such a nice quiet and peaceful place!! Amazing and lovely to get away for a while, or for couple hours. Not expensive at all, you just have to pay less than 10 euro's per person. Worthy to relax yourself here
The collection is presented on a large park with lots of waterways,ponds and canals.The plots of land are connected by bridges and the atmosphere is very green and tranquil.From april through october there is interest in both flower and berry ,may and june are especially lush.Glasshouse with succulents and fuchia collection,lots of birdlife and even american swamp turtles.Nearby "Hof-laan" has an impressive mix of dutch 18th, 19th,early 20th century architecture.
