Renowned plant collections, beautiful displays and spectacular exhibitions make the Atlanta Botanical Garden a lovely place to visit. We will stroll the gardens to photograph some of the displays and architecture the garden has to offer. The model trains will be still running (weather permitting). After our stroll, we will visit the excellent Orchid Display House and the Tropical High Elevation house. You may consider coming back in the evening for the spectacular Holiday Lights display (starts at 05:00pm, additional cost).
