It's cool, I guess. The upside down trees are interesting, and the guided tour was informative, but all in all, it's just some guy's really big garden. There is not a large variety of plants, and most of the tour is just a drive through the forest in a loud tractor. I think I was expecting more of a botanical garden with greenhouses and exotic plants. This is not that.

Heard this was a special place to visit. We agree. The owner bought, built, and continues to care and nurture this habitat. So glad we visited. On the visit one gets a one hour guided tour by golf cart up the mountain and back down to the starting point. Our tour guide Avery was fantastic. Highly recommend it.

Part of tour package
be prepared for a dangerous climb up and down (inside a tram with open sides)
Nature lovers will be excited
Flower lovers mostly at the ground level is fine.

The experience was overall amazing on what Steve has been able to get done and plant over the years and making that road up the mountain. Amazing view!

Beware the gnarly gal (team driver / tour guide) She doesn't like children which our tram ended up with 2 groups with kids of varying shares
ages that were just excited for the adventure but not really that noisy and not rowdy at all. She was curt and scolded them for being heard and that they should keep quiet (aka listen to her talk and no one else talks) Pretty rude the way it was delivered. Kids were paying customers and not freebies.

Less star for the unfriendly guide

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. If you are in Juneau I highly recommend this be a place to visit. You only need about an hour, so you can do other events in town as well. If you kiss out on this place, you didn't experience Juneau.

Upside down trees are remarkable. And beautiful. Gardens are not huge but well done. Ponds are beautifully designed and planted with natural waterfalls. The tram ride to Thunder mountain was interesting. I'm glad we went.

This wonderful place was fascinating and beautiful!!! It's a paradise with a way up to at least least 600ft above the sea. Beautiful gardens and ponds. Worth all your time.

Cleverly designed gardens which dealt with nature’s harsh mudslides! See ponds, upside down trees, lush forestry and captivating views for miles at the height of the journey! Most delightfully decorated shop and greenhouse! Perfect for weddings.
Take the public bus for just $2. It will drop you off a few feet away on the garden side of the street and just walk up the driveway. There’s a return bus to town across the street. Short wait.

I was pretty disappointed in this event mostly because it only included a shuttle trip to the top of the property that was not that impressive. The biggest problem truthfully was that there is no area to walk around. plus the owner just planted non native standard plants that can be found anywhere in the states.. well San Francisco anyway. I felt the staff was very unfriendly. A bit boring to me. I don’t recommend.
