Just saw this place for the first time today. It was spectacular! We walked around most of the day and couldn't see all of it. I highly recommend visiting. The admission was also very cheap, considering the amount of stuff to see. Our toddler absolutely wore herself out today.

Also, Elwood's Shack is nearby. The BBQ was fantastic.

I've been in Memphis for over 30 years and always forget about the Botanic Gardens. Gonna have to check it out soon.
