Atlanta Botanical Garden’s revamped Alice in Wonderland exhibit helps brings the story to life in a beautiful and eco-friendly way.

Alice’s Wonderland Reimagined at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is back this summer, and it’s better than ever. With two new installations, including the 14-foot plant sculpture of Alice pictured above, the green attraction is helping to provide some fun entertainment during the pandemic.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is one of the city’s most loved attractions, with over 10,000 positive Google reviews. Their most popular sculpture is The Earth Goddess, a large head of a woman with hair made of multicolored flowers. Her hand is weaved into the waterfall next to her, with water flowing into it.

Even though The Earth Goddess is not part of the Alice in Wonderland theme, it’s always still a big hit that visitors love. A 16-foot Red Queen installation has also been recently added, making it the garden’s largest sculpture.

Also new this year are the safety guidelines and mandates put in place amidst the pandemic. Masks are required for all guests above the age of 10 outdoors only within six feet apart from another guest, but they’re mandatory at all times when indoors. The garden’s capacity has also been limited, and visitors must make a reservation prior to visiting.

With it’s perfectly sculpted plants and colorful flowers throughout, the Alice in Wonderland exhibit has gotten a lot of good feedback from those who have visited, and those who haven’t are eager to go.

The exhibit is great for families who are looking for an outing with the kids, or young adults wanting an out-of-the-box date idea. Cocktails in the Garden is offered six nights a week, making for a great date for couples 21 and up. The garden’s site even has a guide for which exhibit to visit based on the type of outing and what you’d like to see.

Whether you’re an Alice and Wonderland fan or not, there’s no denying the exhibit’s beauty and the obvious hard work and dedication that went into it. If you’re in Atlanta or planning to visit soon, you can book your tickets now and catch the exhibit anytime through November 1.
