My friends and I spent about 1.5 hours here, and I have to say, it was so well-labeled and landscaped. I learned so much about native and nonnative plant life, and the colors were gorgeous. Places to… Full review by Climber58387590930

Whilst there are many stairs there is transport available by ‘golf buggy’ at an extra charge to provide access along a roadway both up and down. Whilst intended for those less able to climb or defend stairs I’m sure travelling with a baby buggy would meet the criteria.

We have only been to the Hawaii Tropical Garden so can't compare it to the World Botanical Garden. What I can tell you is that we absolutely loved the HTG and spent far more time there than we expected because it was so beautiful and there was so much to see. It's also interesting that we never even heard of the WBG. We talked to many locals on our trip and everyone unanimously recommended the HTG as a must see and so we decided to go. We were not disappointed at all.
