It looks like a big park, not a botanical garden. It only cointains a little number of kinds of trees and plants, and it doesn't contain any exotic plants or trees. But it's good for walking

Very beautiful, large in area, represented by a variety of flora, the botanical garden of Almaty is perfect for both family holidays and organized excursions for schoolchildren and students. There are wide alleys with beautiful flower beds and quiet paths where you can find a large number of tame squirrels and pheasants.
In addition to the beauty and splendor of all kinds of plants, the cleanliness and well-groomed garden, the presence of benches and gazebos with beautiful views are pleasantly striking.

Convenient parking on the Al-Farabi side.
It is clear that the garden is being watched, many thanks for the work of the staff. It is very interesting to walk through the various zones. The Japanese garden is neat and pleasant to the eye.
In the North American zone, the feeling of being transported to a real forest, the smells, the coolness, the birds, is just wonderful.
We have been there several times this year, we are really looking forward to the warm season next year, we will definitely come. A very good place to walk on a weekend or on a weekday evening.

Very amazing garden experience) Many different types of trees and flowers! You can see fish, swans and ducks) There are wild pigeons on the territory, here and there you can hear (and even see) pheasants! It's nice that you can see all this in the city center!
And special emotions from squirrels))) these beautiful creatures are very funny) When going to the Botanical Garden, be sure to take a treat for squirrels with you) This will add joy to you and leave wonderful impressions of funny animals in your memory for a long time)))

The Botanical Garden is beyond praise. There are a lot of innovations that you may not have met yet. Well-groomed paths along which it is pleasant to walk between tall pines and ancient oaks. Beautiful cypresses and trimmed shrubs are pleasing to the eye. I never thought that there were so many varieties of lilac in the world. My eyes are falling out from such beauty. At the entrance to the pond, tender nymphaeum sprouts. Everyone can find their own cozy corner where you can just relax, because it is impossible to cover everything, the park is so huge in size.

It is extremely huge, there is a lot of greenery, as every good park should be. There are excellent shops, the staff cleans there almost around the clock. Also, I just really liked the place near the building with the kalona with the architecture of antiquity. And the area of the park with water attracted my unusual attention (well, you can find a bridge there). In addition, there are maps in various parts of the park, which gives orientation in this large park. For a walk with the whole family, especially in summer it is generally super.

A charming place. I regularly go to the Botanical Garden with my grandchildren, one of the most favorite places in Almaty. Thanks to the organizers and staff of the garden, everything is wonderful, culturally, clean, polite, everything is done with love and care. The population of squirrels, pets of children and adults, is increasing year by year, and it is clear that they are very comfortable there.

I was there this fall. There are many different beautiful and well-groomed flowers and plants at the entrance. The territory is large, but there are many territories enclosed by a grid. There are a lot of our majestic trees. Wild squirrels are almost tame , jumping , jumping . There are ponds with various fish. In general, it is quite clean and refined for a little money. In spring, I think tulips, flowering trees and other plants will be gorgeous. On a warm sunny day, it's a very nice walk in our botanical garden.

As always, I enjoyed it, there is an island of peace and tranquility inside the city. Affordable entrance, there is a cafeteria for enjoying your favorite coffee or tea. You can feel as if you are in your country residence, if your imagination is developed))). I love it, I recommend it to everyone.

A wonderful huge garden, very well maintained in the central part, a magnificent rose garden, rows of juniper trees are impressive. There are ponds with fish, lotuses of different colors, benches for relaxation.
If you move away from the main alley, you will go deeper into an almost wild park with narrow paths, small and large lawns overgrown with grass or mowed down, where you can walk or relax.
It is not very clear the purpose of the fenced-off areas, closed with a lock. I saw through the fence that interesting, unusual plants grow, I would like to see, but alas...

A very cool park, I advise everyone to visit this park especially with family, clean air, koi fish, squirrels, rats for children to see
And you can also feed squirrels, they are different here, but it means that their tails are fluffy and gray in color. In general, I advise everyone to visit this park!!!

A wonderful park.
I didn't understand it at first, but after going through all the zones, it turned out to be very large and interesting.
I think the Japanese garden is modest, I wanted more decorations, but it's still a botanical garden.
There are ponds with red carp, there are ponds with swans.
Squirrels are almost tame.
I didn't see any devices selling food.
Maybe I looked it over, or maybe they need to be installed.
Gorgeous pine forest, blackthorn and much more.
Go for a walk, explore every corner.
A great place to walk!

A kind of oasis in the city. Unfortunately, in recent years it has become more of a recreation park. I don't know how much scientific work is being done there now, but the place is wonderful for walking. It is a pity that the greenhouse was destroyed. I remember as a child we were taken there on excursions, and the smell of those tropical plants is still in my head. I do not believe that the need for study has disappeared, it just seems that everything has moved into the category of getting benefits.

It's picturesque, cool, not expensive, you can come with your own food and have a picnic, feed the squirrels right off your hands, they just climb on friendly people)). Summer and autumn are especially beautiful in their own way, spring is not the same yet, after April it is possible.

A great place for a family visit. The garden is very large and it takes a lot of time to visit everywhere. However, it is up to the visitors themselves to preserve this place in its original form. There have been cases of feeding swans and squirrels with the wrong thing. If it says not to feed, then don't feed. The garden is also a great place to "walk" your camera phone or camera.

The Botanical Garden is one of the favorite places in Almaty, where it is always cozy, at any time of the year. Silence, pheasants, squirrels, colored Japanese carp and white swans. There is no need to talk about the abundance of a wide variety of flowers, trees and shrubs.

A great place to take a walk, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are paths that you walk along like in the forest, and there are paved roads where you can walk with a stroller. You can admire swans and fish. There is a cafe at the entrance. A ticket to enter the botanical garden costs about 900 tenge/person, there is a discount for pensioners.

The park is incredibly beautiful, framed by the grandeur of absolutely cosmic mountains.
I have not experienced such a wow effect with peace for a long time. Clean, beautiful, quiet, here you can relax both body and soul, having a wonderful leisure time.
I definitely recommend it!

I liked the garden, it's very big, you can just walk for a long time. There are many different plants, and just beautiful views. The only thing is, for some reason, some places are not at all gentrified, which are especially on the side. It would also be great if some greenhouses with exotic plants were added in the future)

I often visit Almaty, I visited the botanical garden for the first time, I really liked everything: the lake with swans, ponds with fish, a house for insects that clean the garden (so cute)
Sunbeds with mountain views, generally super, sit, meditate, that's it. There are many flowers of plants, the alleys are beautiful, everything is picturesque. I didn't have much time, so I think I saw a small part of the garden. Of course, there are neglected places, but I think this will not spoil the impression

It looks a bit abandoned, but it's quite possible to take a walk on a hot summer day. There are a lot of roses, swans swim on the pond and you can feed the squirrels. There is a small cafe selling sweets and drinks.

The botanical garden itself is a wonderful place where you can have a great rest with the whole family. However, the staff leaves much to be desired. I visited the Botanical Garden for the second time, the first time was about five years ago, and I forgot the payment procedure. They are standing at the entrance asking for payment, it's hot outside, sorry. Nobody explains anything about how to pay. By law, children are considered to be under 18 years old (or the law has changed), my daughter is 16, I forgot my student ID at home, payment is for an adult.

I was incredibly impressed!!! In my mind, the botanical garden has always been associated with some kind of small greenhouse with a couple of exotic palm trees and a bunch of flowers. But the visit exceeded all expectations!!! People, people, brothers!!! It's a whole forest!!! It's a forest of different, different trees and plants, it's an incredible beauty!!! It's like being in a gallop, in a fabulous forest!!! We are lucky that we got to the time of flowering of magnolia and lilac, oh this fragrance is charming and intoxicating!!! The feeling of delight and admiration at the sight of giant pines, Little Red Riding Hood walked through such a forest to her grandmother, in such a forest the Troubadour sang "the night will pass, the morning will come clear" to his princess from the Bremen Town musicians, in the same forest Shrek met Fiona! This is a great place!!! This is taking into account the fact that the greenhouse under reconstruction will take two hours to get around it in a small way, and if you "sit" and relax, then plus a couple of hours. According to my estimates, the area of the garden is like that of a microdistrict or maybe two. We came in from Temiryazev, where there is a parking lot two hundred meters away, the cost of which is 400 tenge, at the entrance you can go to the toilet so as not to look for bushes later)), there is also a cafe with tables on the street where you can have a snack, entrance is paid but not expensive and accessible to everyone, for adults 874 tenge, and for children 570 tenge. There is a stand with prices and a QR code of Caspi for those who want to pay through the application. Beautiful ponds with fish and swans fascinate and evoke a feeling of peace and tranquility, real relaxation. I visited with my wife, children and granddaughter and we all liked it. I recommend it!!!!

We love this place for walking with the whole family. It is very beautiful in all seasons except winter and early spring. We like to contemplate swans and squirrels jumping almost under our feet. A very beautiful territory, large, you can find a secluded place for privacy, you can also walk along the paths where there are quite a lot of people, more often on weekends. We try to choose weekdays for walking. Photo shoots are always very successful.

It's a very spacious and beautiful place!
Inside, the garden is divided into themed areas such as North America, Asia, Europe, and others. Squirrels live in the evergreen coniferous part. In Asia, carp swim in a pond. It breathes very easily!
In the southern part there is a wonderful view of the mountains and a ski jump.
