The Colonial Pavilion

One of Birmingam best attractions. I have a membership which gives me free parking and it’s great. I visit all year round with my son - he loves the play area and large lawn which is great for rolling down on sunny days. It never gets boring and I have been visiting for over thirty years. We have enjoyed so many different events here from fairs to festivals and light trails too. It’s a shame the birds are no longer here to visit but it doesn’t take away from having such a lovely green space in the middle of a city

I have photographed a number of weddings, engagements and portrait sessions at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and it's always a place I want to go back to. The grounds are stunning and if it's winter or raining, there is always a chance to get some photographs in the tropical houses. There are several banqueting halls so plenty of flexibility for different events and numbers. Just be aware that they do charge a fee for photoshoots and they have to be booked in advance. I also enjoy coming with my family on my days off! www.byGarazi.co.uk

Great experience within the heart of the city centre. Great place to sight see, relax at a leisurely pace and enjoy the sights and sounds of the live bands and nature. Something like this would be best to enjoy on a hot summers day as it’s a beautiful place to be. It’s not a big as I expected but it’s also makes a good option to spend with family and friends

Went to visit the Botanical Gardens near christmas time, it wasn’t too busy thankfully and the staff were very friendly during the whole time we were there. The food isn’t too pricy and they have a lot of food options to choose from just outside the entrance to the botanical gardens. There is a lot to choose from in the gift shops, books for children, decorations for your house or garden, sweets and many other things you can buy! Best time to visit is when they’re doing the light show at christmas and also when there are other events on!

The botanical garden light show was a mesmerizing experience that transformed the lush greenery into a magical wonderland. The play of lights among the diverse flora created a breathtaking tapestry, enhancing the beauty of each plant. The synchronized illumination, accompanied by subtle music, elevated the ambiance to a serene and enchanting level. It was a captivating journey through nature, where the interplay of light and botanical brilliance left a lasting impression. A must-visit for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of art and nature.
