Visit this secret garden to relax your mind, commune with nature and rejuvenate yourself. You will absolutely adore your visit to Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventures in Juneau.

Secluded in the Tongass Forest, Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventures is at 7600 Glacier Highway in Juneau, about seven miles from downtown Juneau.

The mission of the garden is to provide an easily accessible opportunity to indulge in Southeast Alaska's outdoor wonderland and take away a better understanding of the Alaskan environment and our natural world.

They grow all of the flowers locally starting indoors and planting as soon as spring arrives.

The temperate rainforest conditions allow the flowers to blossom with giant, lush blooms like this Art Deco Dahlia.

The rainforest abounds with berries in the summer with blueberries, huckleberries, and other color-popping delights of the forest.

The Gardens are dotted with sculptures of all kinds, like this little fairy hiding in the bright Impatiens.

The average stay at Glacier Gardens is about two hours. A fully guided tour is included with the price of admission.

Delicate Swedish Ivy demurely decorates a corner of the garden.

A rainforest garden wouldn't be complete without a waterfall, and this garden doesn't disappoint!
