A very pleasant place to spend your holidays. Forest paths are very comfortably made walking along them and seeing the forest around you can feel like in a fairy tale.
There is one disadvantage: garbage, sometimes unkempt garden. But if you get to the right time, you can enjoy the beauty

One of the most favorite places to relax is beautiful here in any season. It is constantly developing, and there are interesting places that we are waiting for to open.
Now you can grab a drink and a small snack at the entrance. There are also tables in the upper part where you can order food delivery, if desired.
It's also nice that the garden is being looked after and kept clean.

It is beautiful, great for walking and relaxing. A real forest, almost a taiga, if not for the signs near the trees and a man-made path, salvation in the heat. Ponds with fish. However, there are fences, their purpose is unclear. Vandals are probably disturbing this realm of peace. 🤔

The garden is very beautiful. The huge territory, the variety of plants and trees is just a sight to see. Immediately from the entrance to the garden, you can feel the clean air and this air, rising higher and higher, is saturated with the smell of coniferous trees. You can walk from the heart or find a secluded place to find peace of mind. Each corner is good in its own way for familiarization, and for recreation, and for photo and video shooting (for professional shooting for a fee). It is better for parents with children under 5 to take a stroller or scooter so that they do not get tired. The kids like the pond with swans and fish, as well as the small ponds with ducklings on the Al-Farabi side. Among the amenities, these are toilets both inside the entrance point and in the middle of the garden; an expensive mini-cafe. I would like to have more benches or benches where there is a concert venue. The concerts here in the open air and live are simply amazing, special thanks for that. Tickets to the garden can be purchased at the ticket office and through Caspi, a QR code is scanned on the ticket and that's it. Dear friends, if you decide to bring food with you, please remove the garbage after yourself, you need to take care of such beauty in the heart of the city. And show respect to the staff, they try to help everyone. Also, do not forget that this is not a park, but a unique scientific and botanical garden, where every plant, every corner has its own value, history and human labor.

A nice, big park. In some places, of course, it is very neglected. If you turn onto unpaved paths in the slushy season, be prepared for mud. Very nice Japanese kindergarten (entrance is paid)

We were refused entry with children on children's scooters. But in fact, if you look at it, you can go to the district on scooters, because everything inside is in paving stones, and it's not real on a scooter there, well, then the question is, what's the point of banning? It is logical to use electric scooters, because they will drive, and you can injure hikers, but children's scooters should be banned, I would like to get a logical justification.

It is very beautiful, especially the Japanese garden and the old part of the garden with huge trees. We liked the path with the light bulbs very much and walked there in the afternoon and evening. In the old part of the garden we met grouse or some such birds. There are a lot of squirrels, turtledoves and even some kind of golden eagle or hawk were seen :)
Very calm and breathing is wonderful. They don't ride scooters, you can let the child go for a walk without worrying :)

A good place to walk in a shady and relatively well-maintained park, But the actual botanical garden is practically not visible there. The collections are closed for inspection. In places, the "grandmother's garden", but not the botanical one

A large beautiful garden where you can enjoy the greenery of trees, flowers, stroll along the alleys or relax on a bench overlooking the mountains, watch the carp in the ponds at the Southern entrance. Since the garden is also scientific, some areas are closed to the public, but there is enough space for walking. Excursions, public and private events are held here, and photo/video sessions are available. There is a cafe at both entrances, my choice was herbal tea "Tranquility")) Unfortunately, drinks are served only in disposable cups. Plan more time for a visit or several visits so that you can see everything.

After the repair, of course, you will not find out. It became beautiful and clean. But in my opinion, the price for a visit is too high. With a family of 5 people, just a walk for a pretty penny.

It's a great location for a walk, we often come here. There are a couple of white swans and a variety of plants and trees. A Japanese garden has been implemented, there are coniferous trees like in the forest. Tea or coffee can be taken at the entrance of Timiryazev and Al-Farabi. Indeed, this garden is like the lungs of the city.

It's a pretty place, and it should be incredible in summer and spring. In the meantime, as we were told, "snow, trees," lots of squirrels and bluebirds. There are many volunteers who bring a lot of bird food. And the pheasants! Very funny

A great place, so many beautiful and rare trees, you recharge with energy, a place of strength, you can take more sticks for Scandinavian walking and mileage to find food for squirrels, squirrels are ready to take food from your hands, sometimes they even chase you in anticipation of something delicious. The fir trees are generally super, although they are found many places in Almaty and there are many beautiful specimens on the territory of Atakent. On a sunny and hot day, it is better to put something on your head, for example, a panama hat, or cover yourself with an umbrella from the sun. The cafe is poor at the entrance, it is better to go to those that are closer to the exhibition.

Probably one of the most beautiful parks in Almaty. It's a pity that it closes early. And the worst part is that 15 minutes before closing time, they turn off the lights in the entire park. And if you're with young children, it's very uncomfortable and not pleasant... It would have been better if they had warned us in a different way that it was time to leave the park. As it is, it's very nice and clean.

The place is very picturesque! However, it is definitely worth visiting it at least once! A lot of interesting and useful information is posted on the stands in the center of the park. There are many types of plants. In general, it is clear that the park staff treat this place very carefully, with care and love. Every corner is thought out to the smallest detail. An energetically unusual place.

An incredibly beautiful garden! It is huge, with a wide variety of trees, monuments, shrubs, everything is signed, it is fashionable to learn all the most basic things about each species. There are many alleys named according to the trees growing on them. There are benches and urns at every step, and you can sit down and relax at any moment. Clean, comfortable, beautiful :)

I really like to walk around our Botanical Garden. I come there with my son or friends. It is beautiful at any time of the year. Everything blooms in spring, beauty! In summer there is an abundance of flowers, fountains, ponds... In autumn, everything is like in a fairy tale. Brightness, beauty of autumn leaves... I was there the other day... There is a photo zone, and everywhere there is a solid photo zone. And the swans?! I can't take my eyes off, I want to watch and admire these beautiful birds.
There is a cafe, a toilet. You can order photos to professional photographers.
Words cannot describe everything... Be sure to go and see for yourself

A gorgeous botanical garden. There are many convenient benches of different formats, on some you can sunbathe-relax reclining))
A lot of shade, a variety of plants. The Crimean zone is magical! One of the wishes is to add a couple of points of sale of water and snacks.

The themed areas are beautifully decorated. It's very festive.
But only in the half that is closer to the main entrance, the rest of the garden, alas, if not in desolation, then it does not look well-groomed.

A great place for walking in Almaty. There is a paid entrance to the territory. There is a small pond with fish and swans. The greenhouse is being reconstructed. In general, there are places in the garden that require slightly better care.
There is a toilet, a cafe, a shop with plants at the northern entrance, through which we entered.
There are other inputs/outputs, I can't say anything about them

it 's just a great place , but the entrance is too dreary, and everything is fine
if you come to be photographed with a photographer or something else, it's better to keep silent about it, be sure to take nuts with you, different nutritious things because there are proteins there that are not afraid of people and they can sit on you calmly, there are a lot of them, a lot of different trees , each of which has its own names, if you go deep there are lake with fish, ducks and pheasants
I really liked it, but I didn't have time to look through everything because the territory is very large

A wonderful and at the same time gorgeous botanical garden!😍
I wish everyone to visit this garden and believe me, you will not regret, the entrance is not so expensive (875 tenge).
I advise you to visit the sections of the Japanese Garden and North America. The species there are extraordinary, and there are also small squirrels in the East Asian section, they are almost tame there;)
If you want to appease them, then take some nuts😁 You will get very cool and funny pictures.
I will definitely say YES! This place😉

A magnificent garden, one of the few places in Almaty where you can really go and walk with pleasure, especially since there are very few such places in general, not counting the mountains, of course, I advise everyone to visit, prices do not bite, everything is civilized and very cool👍

A place where you can feel the attitude of people towards nature. When you come to the Main Botanical Garden, it immediately becomes clear how a person is brought up in relation to what another person has created. Who carefully examines plants and picks up garbage scattered by other people, and someone may scatter this garbage and does not adhere to basic recommendations. But every year we return there from year to year and admire nature. Prosperity and speedy restoration of the entire garden.

The Botanical Garden has become very well maintained. Lots of flowers and trees. You can have picnics without a campfire. There are swans, but so far there are not enough of them. Overall, it's sooo green and fresh. There are not enough toilets. The entrance is quite affordable and socially oriented. It would be more informative if we installed more signs, maps of trails and terrain. Names of all available plants, even if it is a simple oak. There are also no playgrounds, but not with metal elements, but in a natural, appropriate style of a forest playground. Well, from the park complexity from the side of Timiryazev street. The fact that two entrances were made on the south side is excellent.
