Atlanta Botanical Garden among top 10 botanical gardens in the U.S., according to poll

Atlanta has one of the best botanical gardens in the U.S., according to a poll.

The local attraction was ranked no. 9 in USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice poll this year. Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, New York Botanical Garden and Missouri Botanical Garden were named the first, second and third best botanical gardens, respectively. The Chicago Botanical Garden rounded out the list at no. 10.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden isn't the only attraction to rank in the top 10 of the USA Today Reader's Choice polls. The Georgia Aquarium was named the no. 2 aquarium in the U.S. last week. The local aquarium lost to Chattanooga's Ripley's Aquarium.
