Beautiful botanical garden!
Be aware, that you can only enter at 10:30-11:00, due to health regulations.

You will get a really good 2 hour tour for 100 Pesos entrance fee.

We had a beautiful time there. The tour has several breaks. They over water at the beginning - better bring something with you because there is no shop inside and once you leave you can not reenter.

I don’t even like plants and this was just absolutely amazing. From
The history of all of the 900 different species of plants they have to the rich history of the actual culture and how it helps the world this was an absolute stunning place to visit, with breathtaking views and our tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable about every single detail. I highly recommend coming to
This and doing the entire tour it is so worth it.

Very cool garden, guide Valeria was an interesting teller. We had no issues with getting in but we got lucky I guess. Come around 10 am and you’ll be fine. The entrance is 100$

One of my favourite experiences in Mexico. You can only enter the garden as part of a tour. For Spanish speakers there are 3 tours at 10 am, 11 am and 12 pm (costs 50 pesos). Unfortunately, they have only 1 English tour per day at 11 am (costs 100 pesos). Each tour has the capacity of 25 people. So you need to arrive before the tour time to enter. I went 3 times before I managed to get a spot for the tour. Harder to get in than most of the night clubs.

The garden and tour were very nice! However, the experience of getting *in* is extremely disorganized and poorly communicated. They are currently only letting 25 people in at a time. We arrived at 9:30 thinking we were in line for the 10:00 tour, but the 25 people for 10:00 had already been let in to wait inside- we found out at 10:10 that we would be assigned to the 11:00 tour. At around 10:20 we were let inside to wait seated in some chairs in the shade, with a large line behind us outside and only one tour left in the day’s schedule. There is no crowd control for the line (which is in direct sunlight in the morning) and nobody explaining what’s going on. If you have your expectations set appropriately and are prepared to wait, the garden itself is beautiful!

Very lovely place with a fairly nice, reasonably short tour. Great to learn about all the local plants/cacti and how the area cultivates and preserves them. Lots of great photo ops too.

Great garden, worth visiting if you can make it work! As previous reviews mention, it’s difficult to make it in as they have limited tours at certain times. Check their website for update information. You’ll have a better chance of getting in if you speak spanish and can take a spanish tour (instead of the very limited offering in english.) Also with noting it says the tour is 2 hours long but it took us an hour from start to finish.
