Not fabulous but just OK!

I went on this tour as a land excursion offering from a cruise I took. The bus ride going up the very steep and narrow hill was very scary for someone like me who is afraid of heights. But once we got to the top it was fine. The tour provides some interesting history of the island but the gardens itself aren't fabulous. I've seen way better. If you have plenty of time, it's worth taking a little time to visit...but if you're pressed for time, this tour is something you can definitely skip and not miss out on too much.

Pros: Provides history of the island

Cons: Getting up the narrow and steep hill

Editor's Review

Nearly 40 acres of handsome botanical gardens surround the massive stone and marble monument honoring William Wrigley, Jr.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

The view of Avalon bay is superior in the afternoon, after the marine layer has burned off. But morning visitors benefit from the cooler temperatures--the walk up to the memorial can be overwhelming when you're baking under the afternoon sun.
