Area Features
Elizabethan Gardens

Don’t miss this Garden for all seasons – where history, mystery and beauty reign all year. Located within Fort Raleigh National Historic Site next to The Lost Colony’s Waterside Theatre, The Elizabethan Gardens encompasses ten acres of botanical and sculptural delights.

Seasonal changes bring an array of flowering plants, shrubs and trees that draw visitors to return again and again. A monumental bronze sculpture of Queen Elizabeth I, ancient marble Italian statuary and the solitary figure of Virginia Dare provide continuity to constantly changing flora. Horticultural collections are extensive, and annual color planted every season gives The Gardens a different perspective throughout the year.

Come and enjoy:
Garden Detective - Follow your children as they play Garden Detective with a checklist of plants and animals.

Wild Wednesdays - Free guided tour each Wednesday all summer! Programs change weekly and are free with paid admission.

Discovery Thursdays - Fun activities for kids! Programs change weekly and are free with paid admission.

Guided Tours - Schedule a guided tour anytime! Free with advance reservations for groups of 20 or more.

Gardens Nursery and Shop - A wonderful collection of statuary, gardening tools, books, notecards, etc... and plants from the nursery!

Special Features - See the crepe myrtles surrounding the Sunken Garden and 16th-century style gazebo providing breathtaking views of Roanoke Sound.

No matter when you visit, there is always something new to explore. Open year-round.
