If you do a breeze through, could be an hour. but if you really want to look at the different plants & stroll through the Japanese Garden, Hydrangea Garden, Herb Garden, Hosta Trail plan on 2 hours. The children's garden, My Big Backyard, is at least an hour while they discover the giant birdhouse, slide, playhouses, & water feature in summer. Good luck getting the kiddos out of there!
