Amazing place to walk around and explore the gardens lots of plants and outdoors stuff has a very big concrete gnome with a new small one that has been added. Love the butterflies.....but why oh why is there always a spider with these exhibits. πŸ˜… not a fan of that one. Otherwise great place love the small waterfalls and more.

Visited here the first time in years and still didn’t disappoint me! I think this is a perfect spot to be outside for the day and just explore and learn so many things!

Reiman Gardens at ISU is a beautiful and well-maintained place to visit. It is free for ISU students, but others need to pay a general admission fee (around $12 for adults). The garden changes with different seasons and occasions, so there is always something new to see with fresh decorations and themes. The butterfly wing is one of the highlights and is very enjoyable, especially for families and photography. During spring, the tulip displays are really impressive and make the whole garden look vibrant and colorful. There is also a small souvenir shop where you can pick up gifts and plants. Overall, it is a nice place to relax and enjoy nature, although the admission fee may feel a bit high for a short visit.
