Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a natural wonder on 250 acres of shorefront in mid-coast Maine. Strolling through spectacular ornamental gardens and traversing miles of waterfront and woodland trails, visitors are delighted by the beautiful plantings, impressive stonework, waterfalls and fountains, and scenic views. It’s no wonder the Gardens have been hailed as one of Maine’s top three attractions. The Gardens are open 9-5 year-round, with a much-praised café and gift shop open seasonally. A visit at any time is a memorable experience.

"This isn't only beautiful, but it's fun, too! Especially if you like outdoors activities. Beautiful flowers, walk in woods, relax in gardens, bring a sketchbook, playing in the sensory garden, or the children's area. A great time for exploring, learning, scavenger hunt, take photos, view sculpture, ..."or just walking and finding new things. The garden is larger than I thought so I would recommend walking shoes. There are shuttles if you need assistance. The majority of e garden is flat, but a couple trails are inclined so walking is difficult for elderly/out of shape people. Again, there are shuttles. i thought it was a nice day for families, as well as individuals.
Overall I would say this is a nice half day or full day visit. I think it's on of MAINES nicest attractions. Its definitely worth a visit.
There is a nice gift shop, also a cafe which is a little pricey, but good food.

"I cannot even begin to imagine the hours of planning and work it took to accomplish such a stunning, magical place! From the visitors center, gift shop, cafe to the childrens area with gardens a coloring house, reading barn, buckets for their little collections and more. This review would be way too..." wordy if I tried to describe the delight we found during our 3 hours here. The paths are well marked and very walker friendly. Even those in the woods. There are shuttles so if you have a disability, health issue or are not able to walk far you won't have to miss out. There are also scooters that are allowed in certain areas. Although it was early in the season and not so "bloomy" the many seperate garden were so well thought out and pleasing. There is just enough sculpture and artwork added as to enhance not clutter. There was even an area called "Fairy Village" where you are encourged to build a little house or shelter of fairy size at the base of trees or in this particular wooded area. ...

"Everything about the gardens is outstanding. The gardens themselves, the woodland walking paths, the gift shop and the restaurant. We arrived at 9 am when the gates opened and stayed until 4 pm. The whole day was perfect! We did not use the shuttles but we saw many many people take advantage of them...". They have thought of everything!!
