The Scene – You'll find all things horticultural--manicured or au natural--as well as championship golf courses, a tennis complex, fishing lakes, hiking trails and 10 miles of paved bike trails and 14,000 acres.

An expensive and disappointing experience
by m0ng00se
I found Callaway Gardens to be a huge disappointment, primarily due to the complete indifference shown by the management and staff at the facility. The gardens themselves are very average, and the facilities are rather old and overpriced. There is very little to do at Callaway, or in the town of Pine Mountain. Restaurants at Callaway are extremely limited and very expensive.
Overall I found the whole experience to be a very big disappointment, and I would strongly encourage others to consider spending their money at an alternative venue.
- Cons: Expensive, little to do, sub par facilities

CHRISTMAS..... What a LIGHT SHOW!
by davidhgay
We have been going to Callaway Garden for the Christmas Light Show for over 20 years. This is what makes us all feel like the Season is upon us. It doesn't matter how you do it! Stay overnight at the Hotel or Drive back and forth.... Ride the Jolly Trolleies or Drive your own car... IT IS MAGNIFICENT! Snowflake Valley grows every year and we all sing along with the "Maids A Milkin"...You hope for a chilly but clear evening and the "Santa's Village" adds to the FUN. Give yourself, your family and anyone you love and care about a TREAT.... Start a tradition of your own. WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!

Heaven on Earth
by cicely1121
I enjoyed visiting the Butterfly garden. They also have a great beach to enjoy during hot summer days and great "fantasy-in-lights" show during Christmas where they offer train rides through the gardens for families to view the wonderful lights while drinking cocoa. I love to come here to get away and spend time with my family.
- Pros: Inexpensive, Customer Service, Family-Oriented
