Atlanta Botanical Garden
A city botanical garden next to Piedmont Park, with a treetop canopy walkway, orchid conservatory, and giant plant sculptures.
The garden covers about 12 hectares. Its most popular feature is the Canopy Walk, about 12 meters above the ground, which lets you stroll among the treetops of an oak forest. The Fuqua Conservatory houses many tropical orchids and carnivorous plants, and the garden also has its famous giant 'Earth Goddess' plant sculpture. In winter, the 'Garden Lights' nighttime light display is a popular festive event in the city and requires advance tickets. Admission is about US$25 to US$30. Booking ahead is recommended on weekends.
