People Also Ask
Q:How long of a walk is Brookgreen Gardens?
A:The Brookgreen Gardens Loop is 1.4 miles long (2.25km), and it takes most walkers about 30 minutes to complete. That being said, Brookgreen Gardens has dozens of short walks that maze through the grounds, and you could spend several hours strolling the gardens, the art sculptures, the wildlife exhibits, and more.
Q:What is the best time to visit Brookgreen Gardens?
A:The best time to visit Brookgreen Gardens is spring, many say. Around April, the gardens’ fantastic dogwoods and azaleas bloom, and spring ephemerals can be caught with any luck. Temperatures are warm but not hot, the sun is usually shining, and Myrtle Beach’s summer crowds are yet to arrive.
Q:How long do people spend at Brookgreen Gardens?
A:Many visitors spend roughly 2 hours at Brookgreen Gardens, though it’s best to allot 3–4 hours for your visit just in case. Between the gardens, the wildlife exhibits, and the sculptures, there’s a lot to see and take in. Moreover, some visitors spend multiple days; tickets are good for one week.
Q:Can you bring food into Brookgreen Gardens?
A:Yes, you can bring food to Brookgreen Gardens. There are two designated picnic areas on the grounds, and wandering the exhibits with a snack is allowed, too. There are also three dining options onsite: The Courtyard Cafe (grab-and-go fare, plus beer and wine), The Old Kitchen (light fare), and the Harvest Restaurant (full-service).
Q:Can I bring my dog to Brookgreen Gardens?
A:No, you’re not allowed to bring your dog to Brookgreen Gardens. That’s for the safety of your pup and the other creatures, as Brookgreen does contain a sizeable zoo—with animals not used to dogs. Pets are also not allowed to be left in your car.
Q:Are picnics allowed at Brookgreen Gardens?
A:Yes, picnics are allowed at Brookgreen Gardens. There are two designated picnic areas: one near the Russell Holliday Cottage and one near the zoo—both are scenic and a great spot for a bite. There are also three onsite dining options if you’d like your picnic supplemented with beer, wine, dessert, or snacks.
