What an amazing park! Hard to believe a place like this exists. Go see it for yourself We got rained out the whole time we were there and still had a blast. Epic kids castle, coy fish, restaurants, trails, no admission??? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's gorgeous! Great variety of gorgeous trees and flowers. Would absolutely recommend going for runs/walks in this area as the park itself is connected to a larger walking path. In my time here it was a rainy day, but it didn't stop the runners from coming...Read More

Great layout for the playground. It flows and is laid out in a way where the child has to be able to accomplish each obstacle to move to the next.Isolated rooms for the restrooms providing privacy.Dogs were in the park on leashes.

Great place in town for the day and was able to spend most of it here. Unfortunately it was just really hot. I could see this place being amazing in the fall or early spring when the weather is cooler

The grounds are beautiful. We drive hours at least twice a year to spend the day here. There is so much to do. You can spend the day here and not seeing everything. Highly recommend.

Off the charts for kids 1 to 13, or older. There are dozens of playgrounds for kids of all ages, live shows, canoes, food places, bridges from 2 and 3 story forts connecting them. If you spent 8 hours there you could not experience...Read More

Was not crowdy at all. Our tour lasted very short but this place was one worth visiting. It’s a mini fun land. Great architecture with amazing view of gardenscapes. Connects through many adventurous trails and the river by a bridge. Needs a little more development...Read More

The playground was so fun. Kids had diverse games for adventure as clinbing, swinging, slides, rope games. On the other hand adults also had separate play areas for swinging , rope games sliding was my favorite 😍. Could see boats in there, Im sure boating is available but not sure how to do it. Would definitely find out next time.Could see people playing with dogs and having small evening walks.Theres little garden places for families and everyone to gather and play games. Free of cost and entry for all. Good maintenance with whatever they are doing.

Words can't describe it, and 5 stars isn't near enough. It is one of the most extraordinary man-made places I've ever been. I can't believe I'd never heard of it, but after reading about it and the man, Mr. Kaiser, who made it happen,...Read More
