A magical, lush garden in the middle of busy downtown Honolulu? Yes, it exists! As the oldest of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens, Foster Botanical Garden displays a mature and impressive collection of tropical plants. Some of the magnificent trees in this 14-acre garden were planted in the 1850's by Dr. William Hillebrand. They marked the beginning of a heritage that became The Honolulu Botanical Gardens. I highly recommend this for a date spot! It's cheap, it's beautiful, it's romantic, and healthy. Added bonus? Go to Zippy's across the street first, grab a bento to go, and enjoy your meal at the gardens. I like bringing a blanket, but there are a few benches to relax on throughout the gardens.
Garden highlights include the Conservatory, Outdoor Butterfly Garden, Palm Garden, Prehistoric Glen Cycad Collection, Exceptional Trees, and Gift Shop. And don't forget to check out the famous Corpse Plant!
