Memorial University Botanical Garden — Attraction in St. John's

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the botanical garden. The site was different than anticipated, with more walking trails - which I didn’t know about and hadn’t allocated time for. If I came again, I would give myself more time to enjoy them all.

The main garden and Macleod trail were lovely. I appreciated all the signage and info at each garden - very educational. I was there at 9:30 AM on a Thursday and the gardens were quiet and peaceful.

Definitely senior friendly trails with exception one that is clearly labelled...

That will be the last time I go there. Parking is a joke, right across the road from the entrance is a empty parking lot, but you're not aloud to park there. It's only for volunteers. Their people on the gate have absolutely no idea what they are at or how to control traffic for all the people walking from a km away up the hill from where they had to park. Because of the extremely poor set up, the total uselessness of the people on the entrance and the fact you have to walk up and down the road with traffic going up and down the road, this will end up being one of the Christmas tragedies you hear about on the news after a person or child gets knocked down by a vehicle. Mun you CAN and SHOULD be doing...
