An absolute gem of a public garden! Tonight was jazz on the terrace...excellent music, wine, and views.
My children and I recently visited Riverside to see all the Christmas trees displays and we loved it! I loved seeing all the different organizations display their trees and also offer brochures for their programs that I did not know existed! We had alot of fun and as always the scenery is always breathtaking and we take such beautiful pictures here. We are so thankful for Fellows Riverside Gardens.
Our meeting place for the Gardeners of Greater Youngstown, A hidden Gem, beautiful park for nature trails, flower gardens, pavilions to rent,nature building
Lovely gardens! I’m from Cleveland, but after this first visit, I hope to go back and take some friends who would enjoy the gardens - as well as other parts of Mill Creek Park. I especially loved the shade garden, and the water fountain with the little girl drinking from the pool. A very nice gentleman was sketching a tree in the shade garden. If I lived closer to Youngstown, I know this would be one of my getaway places.
What a lovely place to visit. The massive tulip display was beautiful.
An extensive botanical garden. We loved wandering through the grounds
Always a place to walk around and just take it all in. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful art. Recommend to stop by if you can.
This was the first year I ever visited in the winter. It had snowed the day before, leaving a blanket of the white stuff about eight inches deep. I was surprised and pleased to see a path had been cleared on the walkways around the circumference of the park! The vista of Glacier Lake covered in snow was beautiful. Fellows has become a year-around favorite now!
Mothers Day Brunch by Kravitz Deli was delightful
Fellows Riverside Gardens never disappoints. So Beautiful in all seasons, but especially in springtime. The daffodils were still in bloom, as were the colorful array of tulips, azaleas, weeping cherry trees, magnolias, etc. Its so well manicured & organized.
Great local garden and part of Millcreek Park. The tulips bloom in Spring, these pictures were from late April. Great place for photos! There are nice little sidewalks to walk on and a fountain that is on in the summer. Great variety of flowers and blossoming trees. Peaceful place to visit.
Pleasant staff, delicious food at the Cafe. Gardens are beautiful
Enjoyed a lovely spring day at the gardens.
Love going to this place. Has lots of beautiful plants. Really nice to go for a walk and is handicap accessible with lots of benches and gazebos to rest if needed. All for low cost of free.
Beautiful Place! Very peaceful and relaxing. Well kept and fun place for the family.
What a beautiful place to visit or take pictures! If you get a chance to stop by and visit you will not be disappointed! What a beautiful landscaping and sceneries!
Wonder place right in the middle of the city!Youngstowns hidden gem.
Beautiful free garden, June is peak time to see many varieties of roses. I love the trails in the woods & fountains too
A peaceful ace to relax and unwind. Many places to walk around and beautiful to see all the flowers in the spring. In the building inside is a little place to eat.
Awesome place! We had beautiful weather today! So many pretty things to look at... not just flowers, even though thats my favorite part.
Always my favorite place to visit its like a little bit of paradise in the city! I go there to think, do my macro and portrait photography, and to enjoy the beautiful walk that they have provided for people to take when they visit the gardens.
Another place I used to love coming to that was beautiful and very well kept and I feel that it has really gone down hill and just isnt what it used to be. Some areas were pretty and others really had a lot of dead flowers and weeds and needed a lot of attention.
Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the flowers!
The gardens are breathe taking. All year around. You can also go inside they have a gift shop and kravitz deli! They have a botanical library on the main floor angst an art gasket that changes year round. On the bottom level there is a hall for banquets and a little museum about the history of the park.
Its such a beautiful place! The views and backdrops are outstanding! They have really cute set ups for seasonal photos too. We really enjoyed our time taking pictures of our niece in her homecoming dress and then walking around the gardens.
Beautiful little garden well worth visiting; perfect for a romantic and inexpensive date. Be sure to get there when roses are in season; the rose garden is amazing!
Such a beautiful place in the city. Great photo ops and plenty of walking areas. There is always something blooming and in season (other than winter of course) and is just a wonderful place to explore.
No matter what time of yeah I visit this place, I always find something new and beautiful. Spring, of course, will bring beautiful flowers. I am accompanied by a 2 year old who loves to explore the grounds with me, and she loves the serenity just as much as I do. There is s cafe we stopped at for lunch this time at the the main visitor area. It was quite upscale, and i was nervous about taking my daughter in. To my surprise the even offered a kids menu and were very accommodating.Photos from very early spring. Most of the flowers were not up yet, but we had a wonderful time anyway. This is the first time we discovered the fairy garden and we are excited to return. Once more flowers have bloomed.
Lovely walk in the gardens. Daffodils and narcississ in full bloom. Tulips should be beautiful in a week
The gardens are beautiful but I was surprised they didnt have information on the rest of mill creek park. Its the 2nd time we have been there and just drove around in circles trying to figure it out.
If you love gardens this one tops the cake. It has a bit of everything for everyone from a formal rose garden to wide open yard area gardens to hardscapes including a gazebo, metal sculpture garden and more, to wooded nature trails paved with wood chips to guide your way, to perennial and annual sun and shade gardens... too much to describe, this is situated at the north end of Mill Creek Park by Glacier Lake and offers stunning vista overlook views. I walked this garden for 3 hours and still wanted more time. Even on a mostly cloudy and rainy day this place was wonderful. You’ll experience a fantastic tree that is full of history... walk underneath the flora and see what I mean! Do. Not. Skip!!
It was a beautiful day out. Beautiful flowers and views of the lake, but not much to do with the kids.
Wow! So many different flowers and trees. The kids and I enjoyed how beautiful it was here. Enjoyed being able to see the beautiful scenery with the trails.
Great day with family . Some of the best pictures we as a family have taken . Really beautiful place.
Always a place of beauty and peace. The gift shop is perfectly appointed with many one of a kind gift items. Great food, restful, scenic reading zone and fabulous outdoors. From water views to natures boundless beauty. There is something for everyone.
My daughter and son in laws wedding took place in Kidston Pavilion June 21st, 2019 with a reception following in the lower level of the Davis Center. Everything was perfect.
Beautiful place cant wait to stroll the gardens in the spring. . there was a orchid display there such a Beautiful flower all full of colors. We will be back again.
All the flowers are in bloom and they look so beautiful!
So beautiful & clean. I took my niece for a fun girls day with lots of pics!
Find the Dark Star plant along with hundreds of other bio varietals and you will realize northern california isnt always a mecca
Small but a beautiful place
Very beautiful, well documented and cured.
It was beautiful, and the employees were very friendly and helpful.
A-MAZ-ING Rose Garden! All plants are labeled so beautifully. The walkways are clean and leads you to magificent wonders. This was my first-time visit. I have the National Botanical Garden in my back yard in Washington D.C. This place certainly reminded me of home!!! ❤🤗❤🤗❤
Gorgeous!We love coming here. Its like a little oasis of beauty and nature in the middle of YGN. It doesnt matter what time of year you check it out- there is always something to see.
Very nice to see all the beautiful flowers and floral smells. A very relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
Working here or visiting recreationally both experiences always provide such a fulfilling time.
Absolutely beautiful gardens!!! Would be the perfect place for a wedding
Beautiful, perfect day. Loved learning the names of the flowers and plants
Always such a peaceful walk to take. There are plenty of trails for that hidden walker and open space to roam in for the wanderer.
If your in the Youngstown area this natural beauty is a must see! They also have a picturesque restaurant, gift shop and gallery.🌹🌸🥀🌺
It was closed when I got there but I just took someone who wanted to look at it and anticipation of holding a wedding there maybe. But from my past experience its a really nice place
Our favorite place to visit with our three grandchildren.
Simply the best. If you are in Youngstown on a nice day (rare I know) GO TO THE GARDEN!
Beautiful flowers, well maintained, perfect spot to enjoy with that special someone.
Beautiful place to visit to take photos or to unplug and just take in the natural beauty. Late spring would be the best time to visit youll find a variety of roses, tulips to rhododendron and boxwood. For the best view of lake Newport use the main entrance make a right at the fountain bow down to the gazebo and use the provided binoculars for a couple coins and try to spot a deer!
Peaceful place to visit and great to clear your mind!
Beautiful, well laid out walking spaces. Nice short jaunts through peaceful out of the way pathways some with gorgeous Vistas. Saw some breathtaking weddings and photo shoots as well as a homecoming gathering. Roses blooming in October?!,! And theyre still beautiful.
We love visiting these gardens. We did Senior photos for my daughter 6 yrs ago here and 2weeks ago college graduation and family photos. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.
Gorgeous garden, cant wait to go back.
What we could see of it was cute. There was a wedding going on. It is well kept.
Nice to get out in the fresh air. Smell of Lilacs and Honeysuckle revitalizing after month in Quarantine. Got to watch Bride walk down the aisle to a new beginning.
One of the best parts of Mill Creek Park! Great place for family activities.
It is beautiful and spacious with a lot of places to sit and rest, and with great views at lookout points. I love the fountain and all of the pretty spots to take photos.
Scenic views of Mill Creek Park and Downtown Youngstown. Great for family photos.
The gardens have a beautiful garden of old fashioned roses. The trails are very unique and peaceful to walk through. Just wonderful for pictures and relaxing
It was nice even without any flowersDecorated on the outside and the trees inside were all beautiful.My 1st time thereI will go back in the spring and summer
One of my fav. Places on earth to go visit and always good for my soul.
Just beautiful!! Staff were friendly to help
Great Cafe and cool botanical gardens!
A most beautiful and delightful garden and park. Serene, peaceful and so pristine.
Beautiful ❤️. Soon to be our familys favorite place in Youngstown Ohio
I wish I could go here after single day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The vernal beauty of Riverside Gardens in the warm months of the year is beyond words impressive. The staff is courteous and very friendly. They keep this place in tip top shape! ...and they also do yoga, mediations, etc there under the pavilion. I am going to sign up for a class after visiting the gardens today. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Ryan from Ohio
Nice place, but totally insanity when how many schools were there to take photos for prom
We only had a short time to visit, but the garden was tended nicely, we didnt have any bugs attack us, there is a good view of the lake. There were at least two pavilions and a very nice fountain. The parking lot was newly paved, and the bathrooms in the parking lot were clean.
Wonderful day for walking the grounds. Enjoyed the beautiful flowers, trees, paths, exhibits.
The gardens are lovely any time of the year. The grounds are very well maintained. A wonderful walk among the beautiful flowers! Great location for prom or wedding photos!
A great place to take pictures and hangout with your loved ones
Beautiful, peaceful place for strolling, with benches and gazebos providing shady spots for resting. An interesting variety of formal and informal plantings.
There are many beautiful flowers there. Great place for photographers.
Very well kept. Beautiful venue for any kind of photos. Has sufficient parking, restrooms, and police presence.
This is the most beautiful gardens I have ever visited!!! I had my Senior pictures taken here back in 2000. We were just there a couple weeks ago, taking my oldest daughters Senior pictures for 2021, she graduated in May 🥰😍Back in Sept. 2002, my cousin had her wedding pictures taken in the gardens, and at the Gazebo. I was part of the wedding party!!!Suffice it to say, our pictures back then and now, came out wonderful. Thanks so much to all the volunteers and donations for making this such an amazing place for the public to view and enjoy!!!
This is a beautiful place to walk around and chill out. Well kept grounds,places to sit and a beautiful fountain. They also have a Cafe with delicious food and outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit. Beautiful and educational, plants and trees are labeled. Enjoy a relaxing walk and learn something at the same time.
I love it here. so beautiful and relaxing and theres always new things to see
A must see if visiting Youngstown. The grounds, though small at Fellows Riverside Gardens, are well maintained. Beautiful views of the city and Mill Creek Park. Childrens area and activities (see calendar) are available; lunch at café with outdoor seating; library; art displays (which rotate), look out tower, and gift shop.
Very nice I cant wait to visit in full bloom
Amazing and huge Alice and Wonderland like garden. Loved this place!
Beautiful gardens and the dahlias were strikingly gorgeous.
Great spot to check out in Ytown. One of the best parks and gardens in Ohio.
Beautiful. Theres a small bistro gift shop library look out over the lake. Latest artist pictures on display wheel chair accessible everywhere beautiful gardens to walk around and enjoy
Beautiful garden. Lovely venue for a wedding. During peak season they have 6-8 weddings a day. So if want the grounds to yourself, be aware.
A beautiful spot to walk with your family. Well maintained.
Very beautiful. Peaceful place. There is a building that you are able to go into the has different little areas and there is also a bistro in the back that does have patio seating. I was come here on my lunch break quite a bit.
The most gorgeous place in the area.
Great place to visit. Always well groomed and lovely.
Absolutely Beautiful! No charge to visit and walk the grounds.
Beautiful place. Have to see it in person
Beautiful place. Great for photos, or just enjoying the day.
Great place to collect yourself and enjoy the beautifully landscaped facility!
If you are from the Mahoning Valley and have never been here, what are you waiting for?? Stop out during April or May in particular and savor the beauty of these gardens. Also be sure to check out the scenic overlook views of Youngstown on the one side, and Lake Glacier on the other. These Gardens are a gem☺
Absolutely Beautiful, peaceful and nice to take pictures or have a picnic.
My daughter took her wedding pictures at the garden. It was beautiful background for her photos.
Beautiful! Must see park ❤
Remarkably beautiful green space in an otherwise unremarkable city.
Magical place any time of the year!
I love the gardens in every season, but their Christmas lights were especially gorgeous.
Beautiful place to be outdoors and walk around and enjoy a picnic.
Nice. Doesnt take too long and a great afternoon short trip. Might be great if you have older kids. Not sure if younger ones would like it as much.
The wife and I decided to get pregnancy photos for the rest of the family. Were new to this area so we werent sure where to go. The photographer suggest the gardens and it was awesome.The fact that there were at least 4 other groups with the same idea as us should be proof enough, but the entire area is beautiful. Well kept flowers and trees all over the property.There are multiple gazebos and walking paths. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a back drop for any kind of pictures. Or anyone just looking for a quiet place to walk around.
Attended a wedding here. The gardens are beautiful. The reception was held there as well. 2 thumbs up for the catering
Beautiful place pretty flowers
Delicious food, as always provided by Kravitz, today. Nice weather fir outside dining and plenty of customers enjoying the gorgeous park views.
Always clean and beautiful. What a treasure to have.
It is one of the most beautiful floral gardens I have ever been to. Safe and easy paths to walk and enjoy. Even wheel chairs can maneuver easily through the pathways with little duffaculty. Love the attention paid to every detail.
This is proof that there IS a God, and he loves this garden! Ive been away from my beloved Mill Creek Park for over 15 years and went to see The Rose Gardens as we used to called them on Mothers Day.My sons and I spent many afternoons there while they were growing up...many memories sharing the day with great grandma....This year for the very first time my daughter in law got to enjoy the gardens and she loves them.Mill Creek Park is Youngstowns legacy, keep it beautiful.
Beautiful gardens and a wonderful place to go and sit and just relax. Part of the fabulous Mill Creek Park. Every kind of plant and flower you can think of, and some you cant. A very well planned conservatory in a beautiful setting.
What a treat!
Love this place. You found peace and quite to talk to God.
I have been coming to the garden since 1970. We lived on Glacier Ave. It is such a beautiful place to bring your family..love.. It only just keeps getting more beautiful. We are truly blessed.
This is a lovely place to go. We visited The Davis Center and the cafe during this trip to help some older friends with their smart phones. We ordered coffee and tea and one pastry. We were there quite awhile occupying a table. The staff never bothered us except to ask if we wanted more coffee. They were very pleasant considering we were there quite some time. On the way out we walked through the small art gallery which always has painting displays on rotation. The art was beautiful. We also walked past the gift shop but did not go in. Its a very nice gift shop. Ive been in it previously. They have a nice selection of gifts. The gardens are beautiful to walk through during the spring and summer, and even in autumn. I couldnt recommend this place highly enough.
After reading an article of the best places to visit in Ohio, we were baffled how we had never heard of Mill Creek Park. So we decided to hop in the car and take the hour-ish drive. We stopped at Lantermans Mill, the Suspension Bridge and ended at Fellows Riverside Gardens. This garden is absolutely stunning. Everywhere we turned, there were more ohhhhs and ahhhhs. I cannot wait to go back and explore this park and see this garden in the different seasons.This is a great place to see all the beauty nature has to offer and to reconnect.
I went late in the season and was highly impressed
Very beautiful Ohio is blessed
Not a lot of flowers like I remember.
My sons wedding. Absolutely beautiful venue but a really long walk
Such a beautiful place to visit!
Beautiful place to visit.
Absolutely loved my experience yesterday!! All of the displays, from the recycled Christmas woodland scenes to the vast and diversified decorated Christmas trees and the lighted indoor and outdoor displays were creative, bright, beautiful and completed the holiday spirit! How fortunate the two bridal parties, there for wedding pictures, were, to have great weather and beautiful surroundings! ♥️♥️
Always a beautiful place to go for photography or dates.
Beautiful park and gardens. The lawn is like deep pike carpet!
It’s so gorgeous here. I love walking around the gardens with my fiancé and having picnics here. We are getting married in one of their gazebos at the end of summer. I’m really looking forward to it!! It’s the perfect place to have a wedding ❤️
Beautiful! Even though it is a little early in the Spring, there was plenty to see. A great variety of flowers, plants and shrubs; some of which were in full bloom and many others in pre-bloom. A great destination year round. Visited with a handful of boys (5-10 years old) and they didnt have a problem keeping themselves entertained. The grounds are big so they were able to run about without upsetting the other visitors.
What an absolutely adorable place! My husband took my son and I to lunch today on work break and it was so nice. Food was delicious, spectacular view, and the staff were very friendly. They were also setting up and decorating for Christmas. The decorations and the Library are just lovely! I recommend the Rueben for lunch! Delicious! So nice when a small place like this offers a childs menu! Major plus when you have children!
Beautiful place gorgeous flowers for sale
Beautiful. The rose garden is very nice. Walking around on all the various trails is so relaxing, with plenty of benches along the way for those of us that need to rest now and then. The boys found so many different insects. They loved it. I especially liked the little library inside the building. You can sit in a comfy chair, reading a book, looking out onto a great view if so many trees along the creek.
This is a jewel of Youngstown. Always a joy to visit
Love the selection of greeting cards and Michel Design Works lotion and soap selection in their gift shop. Great little gem in the heart of Youngstown, OH.
Everything its beautiful and clean
Always beautiful and relaxing. Gorgeous views and nice restaurant!
Its really pretty, with lots of nice, unique flowers and art to look at. It has even more trails and paths to explore. Highly recommend.
Great place to walk around, even in the winter time
Beautiful place! Lovely restaurant on site. Also there is a public restroom and a gazebo for weddings. In fact, a car with a gorgeous couple in full wedding attire arrived for pictures before their reception while I was there. :) They have the most beautiful roses of many colors, (of course) so photographers will love to visit to obtain some great photos! In the spring & summer months (for a small fee), they offer outdoor yoga & gardening classes too. You can Google Mill Creek Park for more info about Rose Garden and other Park activities. Wonderful peaceful place just to walk & relax as well....just beautiful.
A lovely gem tucked into Youngstown. Its free to walk around the gardens, we spent almost two hours exploring when we took the children on a spontaneous visit after attending a family event in the area. Theres also a nice gift shop and photography gallery inside. One suggestion is to avoid the gardens on Saturdays in the summer, if you want a more private and quieter visit, there were three weddings there the day we visited so trying to avoid the areas they were taking photographs was not an ideal situation. Other than that it was perfect.
Fellows Riverside Gardens was absolutely breathtaking over Labor Day weekend in 2020! The roses were in full bloom and the grounds could not have been more beautiful. Its a shame the building is closed to the public but its still worth a visit. I did not notice any bathroom facilities available. I didnt even see a port-a-john. That fact didnt seem to be prominently featured on the website. At any rate, it was a wonderful opportunity for photographs and spending time with family. Plan your trip according to your bathroom needs, however.
Beautiful venue for a wedding. Bustling with lots of groups taking photos for all occasions in various spots throughout the well-tended gardens.
This place is so beautiful. If I should marry again that will be the place.
Gem of Youngstown. Well taken care of and a great place for events and weddings.
Was there for easter buffet. Was very nice
Beautiful location and quite detailed if you are an at home gardening enthusiasts this place is absolutely beautiful about 95% of the plants had identification plaques 👍👍
Beautiful place to visit well maintained. I go there whenever I get a chance. Great place to take photos.
Great place to take a walk and unwind.
We went to see the Christmas trees, many beautifully decorated trees.
This place is amazing. Been going here on and off since birth. Check out the different blooming seasons on flowers before going. Great place to walk and hike if wanted. Picture spot for everyone. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean restrooms and the cafe is great.
A gorgeous building inside a beautiful park. It was built with two things in mind. To blend in with the natural surroundings and to take advantage of its location where visitors can enjoy nature at Mill Creek Park. Today we enjoyed many orchids on display around the main building and a photography show in the gallery. In the Spring and early Summer you can walk the grounds and be overwhelmed by the sight of tulips and daffodils. Then later the smell and sight of roses bushes in bloom.
Im from Virginia and my boyfriend is from Michigan. This place was our middle point. We had our first date here in June of 2019. It was absolutely perfect. I definitely would go back.
Beautiful place for a wedding. The food at the reception was delicious. The room was set up nicely & it was very comfortable.
Omg, this place is the place, it is so beautiful, I loved all the flowers, and its so big u r not rt under ppl, grate place to have a wedding, or just a special place to take someone u care about 😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍 I love it ❤❤ take ur loved ones there they will love it to, I promise, 🤚
No matter what season this place is Beautiful ❤️
I love it here! The grounds are well maintained, the artwork is always changing, gift shop is nice. The activities that are scheduled here are just awesome. I cant say enough, if youve never been, you need to go!
A beautiful place in the heart of Eastern Ohio. The trails here are beautiful and lead down to Mill Creek park. Photographers come here often to take photos.
The flowers and scenery here is beautiful. The rose garden is really pretty. The facilities here hold many functions throughout the year, including my absolute favorite, the pumpkin walk each fall. There is a little outdoor learning center for kids where they get a chance to get their hands dirty for some fun with bugs and outdoor play.
Beautiful!Beautiful! Beautiful! On a hot summer day, it is so relaxing to stroll through the gardens and dont forget to visit the gift shop. I found several little inexpensive gifts for friends and the children I tutor.
It is such a beautiful place. The flowers in bloom are exceptional. What a great view of Mill Creek Park. 😍
Great place to just get away from the craziness. You can walk throught the gardens and just pretend your in a picture book. You can sit down in the shade and enjoy the beautiful scenic environment. You can go to the cafe and check out all the unique and exciting events they host in the center. The gallery always has amazing artwork on display. They offer classes and workshops that are well worth it. The library there is a great resource for botanical and gardening information as well. Highly recommended.
Very beautiful and impeccably maintained. Their staff must be incredibly hard working.Lovely Family Gardens with frequent childrens events. Super friendly staff that seems to genuinely enjoy teaching the kids.We especially enjoy Family Fridays all summer and the free pumpkin carving in the fall!
Love this place. Take my boys every year to make their wishes in the fountain at the start of summer and right before school starts. Pretty flowers. My favorite tree in the world (massive weeping willow). Very calming. A gem of Millcreek Metroparks!
This place is absolutely magical in the spring and early summer. But autumn, OMG! PLEASE, if you decide to visit this park, read the rules. Its so important to preserve the integrity of our parks. The bathrooms outside are air conditioned in the warmer months and heated on the cooler days. They are also very well maintained.
Beautiful. Peaceful. Nice. Learned a lot.
The gardens are absolutely one of my favorite places! During Spring and Summer the flowers are just gorgeous! Its a great place to picnic and spend family time or even time with your partner.
Really lovely Gardens. Should note that theres no connection to the trails from the gardens. You have to drive a bit to a trailhead.
Gorgeous, elaborate, and green grounds that are meticulously taken care of. They celebrate the four seasons throughout the year. Bring your strollers, boots, or sandals and walk for exercise and meditation throughout the gardens. Enjoy Gods creative beings--humans, chirping birds, buzzing bees, and sun. The mixture of aromas are intoxicating.
Always relaxing and uplifting to visit and walk the paths. The thousands of blooming daffodils in the spring are a must see! Then the tulips! What a stunning sight along with the spring flowering ornamental shrubs. If you love gardening and flowers, then youll want to check out the summer perennials in bloom for inspiration. And the rose garden is true bliss! I cant believe how many local people say theyve never been to this free local paradise! I love the extras too, the bee hives behind glass for observation; the gift shop loaded with beautiful and unique items (they have the best cards), and the cafe! And all the fun seasonal events! This place is a local jewel, and we are so lucky to have it!
Beautiful place in the middle of Youngstown! A true gem. We love it so much here that we are having our wedding reception in July! The rose gardens, gazebo and the whole grounds are a beautiful surprise in Youngstown.
Beautiful gardens! An amazing place to relax and enjoy the flowers, the roses, and everything else growing there. You will notice how well this place is taken care of when you visit! We love going here for picture sessions, too!
A good place to enjoy the quiet. Gardens are beautiful. Check for free events going on there. I especially like the plants sales in the spring. Watch for family days when they have activities, those are always fun too. Stop inside for a bite in the restaurant, grab a special gift in the gift shop or look up something in the library.#letsguide
I grew up with this park and in the past 15 years, it has really grown (and continues to grow) into the gem of Youngstown. This is a great place to come in all seasons as there is an outdoor and indoor section. There is a cafe and shop, but you can spend several hours here exploring the exhibits and enjoying the park without having to spend money.
Top-notch spot for the Youngstown area. If you are visiting Youngstown, or just are a local resident and want somewhere to relax, the Gardens are the perfect spot to visit. A huge variety of plants and flowers. My wife and I love walking through during the different seasons to see everything in their various stages. We love that the Gardens are constantly growing and changing (no pun intended) and always look forward to more visits.
My wife and I stopped at this lovely spot on our way home from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Which I think makes for a well balanced weekend trip for couples. It is free to get in, plenty of parking and acres of natural beauty. It is fantastic way to spend a few hours if you are in the area.
Beautiful flowers still in bloom!
This is a beautiful place, unfortunately trees are marked with graffiti. We went late in the season but the roses were still blooming. Will be returning next spring!
Gorgeous area. Very nice
I loved the formal gardens. We visited in late spring and found blooms everywhere. The overlook of the river should not be missed. I particularly liked that every Bush, tree and flower was named, both common and scientific. The gazebos and pavilions should not be missed either. This is a must see for the gardener.
Simply the best public garden in the Mahoning Valley & beyond. Take a walk & see lovely old growth trees, including many extrodinary varieties of conifers, bushes & flora . With slightly rolling terrain, winding paths, & moss covered rocks, it has a fairytale like feel. The gardens have 2 terraces, one at each end. One overlooks the city of Youngstown, the other, beautiful Glacier lake. It also features gorgeous statuary, lovely fountains, & a wedding perfect gazebo. Spring is especially magical, there are thousands of tulips, daffodils & hyasinths, all maticullouslly planted for a visual parade. Visitor center offers ever changing inspiring exhibits, a bright cafe, & a nature inspired gift shop that rocks! Fabulous rose & dahlia areas in summer. Childrens garden is terrific, truly hands on, whimsical, & edible too! Its a wonderful place, anytime, any day, for all to love & enjoy!
Beautiful place to take the family. plenty of scenery and trails to walk on. they have really cool public events occasionally and a cool gift shop inside the building, very unique items and decorations. love it all. they also have really cool books about the history of youngstown.
Very beautiful. Nice family place to take a walk and enjoy Natures Beauty!!
The gardens are always so beautiful. Lunch on the patio was delicious with beautiful scenery.
Beautiful place for a lovely outdoor stroll. This is not an indoor botanical gardens. All varieties are outdoors and appropriate to grow in this climate and zone. Plants are mainly perennial, tree and shrub with some annual varieties on border beds. Paths throughout the gardens include beautiful shade beds a d ground covers on hillsides for erosion control. Sun areas include varieties of roses as well as other blooming perennials. Great for a relaxing afternoon, or for a place to get inspired.
I love this place! The Rose garden is absolutely gorgeous!! Got to see beautiful brides also!
Visited the Davis Center to see the Christmas trees

2022-01-30I went to this exceptionally lovely place for brunch. Kravitz deli, which has a small kitchen there, has a gorgeous sun-filled spot for a very tasty breakfast and lunch.The interior spaces are so special, with massive walls of windows, alcoves, places to read, gallery artwork to peruse... classrooms, a large event room, and incredible views of the lake and park. Theres a library, a gift shop, and other cool attractions.You could get married here, or have an art show, have a small conference, a weekly meet up with your friends...so many cool things can happen here!

2022-05-01A beautiful place to go and spend an afternoon... its wonderful the energy they take maintaining and keeping everything looking good. We like to go in the spring to see the trees bloom, and the again in the summer. There is always something new to see, and the gallery is beautiful as well.
Review №3
2022-06-12These gardens were surprisingly serene and beautiful being that close to civilization and free. There were multiple paths meandering in and out of different areas. Each area had a slew of plants all tagged providing ideas for your own home. The grounds were pristine proving why there were four weddings onsite.

2022-01-26As a photographer, it is a pleasure to work at Fellows Riverside Gardens! This is a gem of a location and provides so many beautiful backdrops. There are gorgeous flowers, gazebos, forests, and views in every direction and we could have spent an entire day exploring it all. Highly recommend! Images by Jennifer Elizabeth Photography.

2022-06-10What a lovely, sprawling botanical garden. Surprises abound at every turn. On a pretty June day, it might as well have been a little bit of heaven. I cant wait to go back.

2021-08-17Beautiful gardens with a formal feeling. The gardens and pathways are meticulously maintained. The pathways are mostly wide and smooth, very good for those with limited mobility. We were there for only an hour late afternoon after a bike ride on the nearby MetroParks Bikeway. We will be returning when we have much more time to see the entire gardens.

2022-06-10I love going to these gardens because I learn so much just looking at the different species of plants and flowers and how they can be arranged in pots. When the tulips are in bloom its absolutely beautiful. Very cute shop inside where you can buy things for the home that you wont see any where else around here. Their little deli is both inside and outside dinning with a great view of the lake. Spend the day!
