Toledo botanical garden is a great place to relax, evening walks, family friendly fun activities even some were enjoying lunch under big trees and pleasant natural breeze in late May. Definitely recommend this place.We saw some big, fringe carp fishes in the creek. Flowers were blooming and roses are just coming out.
I love visiting the botanical garden. It’s peaceful and tranquil. Nice outdoor concert series in the summertime too.
I went for the first time while visiting g my mom for her Earth Strong weekend! It was better than I thought it would be. Veggie garden, beautiful flowers, a fountain, people laying comfortably in the grass, lovers, and OH....A WEDDING💍💐
Super pretty! Happened to get the opportunity to see two owls while I was there, which was so cool
Picturesque Tranquility on west side of Toledo. Beautiful gardens and historical grounds any time of the year.
Very beautiful place! I just wish if there were more shaded passages so that we could still enjoy the garden in warm days. Everything about it is pretty and looks well-maintained. The restrooms are clean as well.
This is such a beautiful and serene botanical garden. Fairly large and features a good variety of flowers, trees, and lots of birds. Theres also a pond with water fountain that also has sailboats that float across it with the water/wind movements, which was neat to watch. I did see a few ducks and chipmunks while there as well. Parking is easy to get in and out of, and there are plenty of spots to set up a picnic for your visit as well. I also noticed that it seemed like some locals gather here for book clubs and read under the shaded areas together, which I thought was super cute. I will definitely visit again the next time I visit Toledo.
Beautiful Park, perfect for walking and picnics. Great treehouse style playground for kids.
I live close to the park and should get over there more. It is a gem in our community. Beautiful gardens, varied art for enjoyment or purchase, and lots of food trucks. Will visit more often.
Just a perfect place to enjoy the summer weather. If you thinking about a little escape from your busy life, I think this is perfect place. You will get to see beautiful nature, cool breeze and bright sunny day or you can go for afternoon walk. What else anyone can ask for summer, right!!
I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! What a beautiful, calming, whimsical little garden. I wasnt expecting much but upon arrival my eyes looked over all the beautiful flowers and greenery...so incredibly beautiful. All free, just go walk around and enjoy watching the fat little squirrels that inhabit the park...I will happily drive the 2 hour journey from my home in Indiana to visit.
Such a beautiful place to walk through. So many things to see and beautiful wild life. Very popular place for pictures.
This is such a beautiful place to visit locally for a walk or just to enjoy nature and some local wildlife. I have enjoyed some lovely relaxation on the hills here, and deer have grazed around me. The trails are shorter, usually a mile max, so its a quick and nice walk. The views of the gardens are beautiful. Some of the gardens are open, some are grand and have a European feel, and others have a wetland feel with little bridges and lots of trees. For the small amount of land the Botanical Gardens use, they have found such a wide variety of garden atmospheres. It really is a pleasure here. Lastly, I like the small sunflower garden on the Bancroft entrance.
We havent been there in a couple years. They definitely made some additions. Its so beautiful and peaceful.
Found this place by accident today and was only able to take in a small portion of it, and I was pleasantly surprised by how meticulously kept the property was! There were deer 🦌 running all around. This place is packed full of art and love for nature. I cant wait to go back and explore and visit the gift shop when it opens. I am amazed at this find. So much more to see here.
Big beautiful open space with lots of trees, shrubs, flowers and other plants around to enjoy. Lake and grassy areas perfect for picnicking. Entire are perfect to take a run/jog or even a nice walkthrough. No pets, but it preserves the beauty and nature. Great photo opportunities too!!!
One of the must things to do when youre in Toledo. Something to see year round.
This was a clean park, not overly crowded, and had nice trails decorated with lovely flowers and greenery. There was also a large and exciting childrens playground.
WONDERFUL PLACE TO RELAX AND SPENT TIME WITH FAMILY OR ALONE!So many different times of year for this place. They also have great events through out the summer. The new kids park is awesome. Thanks for all the people who work so hard to make this place awesome!!
Garden is neat and clean. Found variety of flowers and trees. Kids like the hidden forest house and spent quality time over there.
Beautiful gardens and landscapes. Quiet area as well.
Incredible place, nice for a walk or contemplation! Manu places to discover, great for kids as well, and the art shop is lovely!
Beautiful perennial garden but otherwise there isn’t much else to see. We arrived on a Sunday and some event was taking place. So we had to pay $12 per person to get into the park since the art fair was being held. The fair was an adde surprise and gave us something else to do though since the garden themselves are a bit small.
Beautiful place! The flowers and plants are blooming beautifully and we spotted tons of wildlife. The walking trails are easy to find and well maintained. Great place to bring your kids for a walk in nature. The other activities usually available were closed due to safety reasons from the covid-19 restriction, but the buildings look in great shape and I cannot wait to return once they open again to check them all out! Public bathrooms are available and plenty of parking. They offer rental options for weddings and parties so if you are in the market for something like that check out their info. Most of the main trails are handicap accessible and restrooms are also. We highly recommend stopping by and visiting if you are in the Toledo area and looking for something to do!
Great place for family and friends ! If you need a spot for couples photos etc, perfect spot !
Loved enjoying this park with my Mother before she passed and it was her wish that our whole family could see it. i recently was there with my daughter and still a relaxing peaceful beautiful garden ,will like to see it again with other family members..would be lovely for weddings,or outdoor birthday/family picnic...
What a beautiful place! So relaxing and peaceful! Highly recommend going for a walk around this place.
Went here to take some pictures and this place was pretty nice! The colors of the trees were really pretty!! Only thing I wish was different was that there was so much open space where there could be more greenery! I thought this place was really nice and pretty, but I do believe that there are better parks with less crowding.
The Toledo Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place. Its peaceful on a regular day and lively when they hold events. Every event Ive been to here has been laid out nicely and handled very well.
So cool to see what new plants and flowers grow each visit. Had a blast today having a little picnic. 10/10 recommend if youre a nature lover
They had an art show when we went. It was a wonderful day.
Lots of pretty flowers and a neat place to visit.
Since it was a Saturday and COVID-19 season, we couldnt visit any of the arts & crafts areas, but there are so many beautiful plants and gardens and sculptures we still had a fantastic visit! I just wish other people had been following the rules (no dogs, wear a mask, etc…) so everyone could have felt safe being there.
This place is absolutely gorgeous! Moms and dads, they have the coolest playground!
Im so glad we move just down the street from here. ♡ this place is breathtaking!! Take your time and enjoy all the different flowers and trees.
Beautiful garden! Not too big, not too small, perfect for walking. Many cozy places for rest and enjoying nature, created with love and attention.
Used this beautiful building for Prom photos!! What gorgeous scenery!!
It is a wonderful place to spend sometimes with nature. The park is a bit small but you will find various collections of plant of herb and other flowering plant such as rose, Dalia etc. It has recently built a place for children called “Secret Forest” which is really wonderful. It’s a great place to take picture bcoz it’s a beautiful place and well maintain.
The Toledo Botanical Garden is a beautiful place year round. We got our wedding pictures taken there, people also get graduation pictures, prom pictures, etc. taken there. There is a lot of really cool sculptures along with all the amazing plant life. It’s also the perfect place for a romantic walk, a stroll to relieve stress, or to take your kids to let them run around and burn off some energy. We will definitely be back soon!!
I really loved our visit. Im still struggling in my wheelchair because Im not weight-bearing yet after knee surgery. I wish more paths were paved. I will go back after Im walking again. We took lots of photos. And even stopped in to the potters studio and found it a soothing place too.
Wonderful gem hidden in Toledo. I worked a wedding there and the entire park was beautiful and relaxing. Ron (Magic Moment Entertainment)
This is a place I have visited for years, peaceful, full of different forms of nature, letting me be a witness to Gods Stability in Creation. Thankful to be able to do so.
Very beautiful all year round. Spring & Fall are the best times though. Great place to go walking or biking (asphalt trail for bikes), read a book, photography, Pokemon Go, etc. They DO have public restrooms. No dogs allowed, which I definitely respect in order to maintain the beauty of this place!
Beautiful gardens with no fee to visit. It covers a big area so it is a good way to get in a peaceful walk.
Amazing space, well maintained, the artist village was so cool but many of the studios were closed in the weekend. We took a leather box making class that was so much fun for my daughter (11) my mother and myself. Totally worth the 30$. They did need better maps of the area. I wish their website told us better when/what things were in bloom.
Pushed my 94 yr old Mom and she was so overwhelmed by the different plants, I plan to bring her back after the Flowers come out! Thank You for making parts of the park, Wheelchair accessible, I will certainly be back
One of the best places in Toledo. Your whole walk is in awe at the trees and many species of plants and flowers. I go here every chance I get. I find it is completely serenity!!!!!!!
The gardens are a true delight! Love the wide variety of dahlias and roses as well as the unique vegetation throughout the formal gardens. I reccomend spending a few minutes near the water so you can watch the fish swimming lazily by! Its very Zen!
This Lucas County Metro park is truly amazing. The flowers and trees are beautiful. There are many places to sit and take in all the beauty.
This is a great place to visit! Also if you check out the community center its amazing to rent for special occasions.
This place is beautiful and great for enjoying nature. If you have kids its stroller assemble and there is also a play ground.
I absolutely love this place. I find it so peaceful and calming. The weather was perfect today for a nice stroll through the garden. I recommend this to anyone who needs a place to relax and gather themselves as well as their thoughts. A piece of my is better then any pharmaceutical medicine. Take a book, take a friend, stroll your babies. I promise u will love it.
Its a really nice garden. Plenty to see and they label all of their plants, which I find pleasing.
Great place for a gathering! The amenities for the building were clean and accommodating. Nice environment for most everyone.
A beautiful location that doesnt take very long to walk through. Plenty of relaxing spots to sit and enjoy the views.
I love the botanical gardens so much! Always clean and the staff is kind and helpful. I take my nephew in the summer, this year a member of the staff was leading a tour and the leader stopped to help sooth the crying little fellow and their whole group started singing to him! It was so nice!
Its beautiful and definitely worth the trip out. Theres all kinds of pretty trees, flowers, and sculptures, gorgeous paths, and an awesome playground for the kids called the Secret Forest. Ontop of all that, there was a sign that said they were going to be putting a splash pad in this fall. I bet itll be awesome just like the rest of it. This is a beautiful place to spend the day ❤️
Its a nice place for a walk, peaceful and not crowded. I think it needs more flowers.
Nice place for walks and I liked their flower displays weather late in the afternoon but they have a pottery/art shop as well maybe for next time
Beautiful. Can’t wait to return in the warmer months of the year when everything is in full bloom.
This place is amazingly beautiful. Nice paths and easy walking with just gardens that are just wonderful.
This is my favorite place to wander and take photos. I feel at peace in the lush world class gardens. As an artist sanctuary one can use the surrounding as a muse. You can take classes here and view the displays presented by fellow artisan. There is a link to the past as well as the future. I hope everyone visits and helps support this wonderful place. Become a member and support TBG today. 😘
Beautiful gardens and had a wonderful art show. Lots of beautiful art and jewelery clothes and lots more.
This such a beautiful place! I took my grandkids here today and they had a blast!
This place is a gem inside toledo, the landscaping is wonderful, the trails go all over and the river with the bridge is awesome. Somedays part of the park are closed off due to weddings but that is no issue reqlly.
Such a beautiful place and the picture taking destination of Toledo. Every time I have gone at least one photographer is using it as a back drop. Around prom and homecoming I am surprised there are not buses for all of the teenagers in formal wear. Summer will have a bride or two visiting. Great place to take leisurely walks even so.
So this past weekend me and the girlfriend went here just to do something different in toledo. I forget how beautiful and awesome this place is to walk around. I didnt even know that they had a little stream that look pretty dope in the picture. You guys ever get a chance check this place out
Great place to stroll around, expansive grounds and plenty of shady picnic tables.
Super cool new park which would be fun for a variety of ages! Not much to do for little ones that dont climb at all yet though. But everything seemed sturdy & I was never afraid of falling out of anything. Probably not for folks who are afraid of heights.
So much to see and discover! We took family photos here. They even have an English gardenThey are building a small play area.
It was fun to walk through, even though there was snow. Free entry!
Ive been here so many times. Its a lovely to walk on the grounds with your family.
My kids and I loved this place. We only found out about it this summer and have already made 3 trips. It is so beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. Perfect for the whole family. 💕
Fabulous gardens and park that I have enjoyed since I was a child.However, I am disappointed that more of the artisan groups at the gardens are gone. Also I know there is an event for the holidays this weekend and I cant find any mention of it on the metropark website or calendar of events. I was looking so that I could share with my friends and family on social media. How can they expect to have a successful event to support the artists if no one knows about it?
This place is a must see in Toledo. The art festival is always a great time.
Amazing place to go for a walk and check out the beautiful plants and wildlife. We will be coming.back all the time.No alcohol, no pets and no bicycles. Fyi
Stunning place. I went there and plenty of photo shoots were happening. Another last warm day in autumn.
So Beautiful! We took a lot of photos! You have to go experience it for yourself. They did an Awesome job!
Amazing park with excellent foliage, sculptures, and play features for the family.
As a wedding and engagement photographer in the area, I can easily say that Toledo Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places in the fall. Its beautiful year round, but theres something special about the fall there. Theres beautiful landscaping, a new play area for the kids, and lots of places to walk around and just take in the beautiful nature. The one thing I do have to remind my couples of is that you cannot bring your dog here for photos (or at all). Its free to get in and youll absolutely love it!
Lovely place to walk and connect with nature. Convenient free parking, no admission fee. Many little garden areas to explore, many photo opportunities. Bring a picnic with the family or a date. Gardens for everyone and every taste. Variety of classes offered year round.
Really nice place to bring the family or get some alone time outside. The many paths lead to small gardens and there is also a bigger paved walking path.
Wonderful display of seasonal perrenials and trees, nicest hosta display anywhere. Several artists displays and nice walking paths and picnic areas. Serene relaxing environment and FREE!!
Beautiful place. Being a photographer thus is one of my favorite places to goAnd its fun for the kiddos
This place is so peaceful and amazing.
A beautiful place to visit for the whole family!
Beautiful, well kept, peaceful and t h e array of flowers, my favorite the Hostas..wish I live in Toledo..
It was nice peaceful and lots of room. My friend got married there last weekend and admission is free
So beautiful with the fall trees and leaves. What a lovely park.
Its a calming place to enjoy a quiet walk while looking at the flowers.
We was there today,. Lil earlier in the season, flowers still need to bloom but I bet is beautiful once everything starts to grow.
Great day at the Gardens wirh an added bonus the Easter 🐰 is there passing out candy. He leaves lil candies on the sidewalks which leads the kids to him, so cute!
What a great place to visit. I love to take photos of my grandchildren and have a picnic.
It was very beautiful, if you like nature you will Love this place
A surprising find that proved to be breath-takingly beautiful. I highly recommend stopping by and giving yourself at least an hour to browse through the plants.
Always a nice place to go. Even now, the first week of March, there are flowers popping up! This is my go-to place when we want a quick walk.
Beautiful place we enjoyed our visit it needs family seating areas other than the front
Love walking through this place. It is so peaceful there.
Absolutely beautiful! Plenty of shaded paths to walk and enjoy nature. Tons of events/activities going on throughout the year.
Another beautiful park, I like to take a serene walk in the summer time.
This is a beautiful place to go and just walk around. The flowers are amazing!
The best place to have a picnic in the whole city. You like plants? They got em!
So pretty!
Very nice place to walk and picnic. All the plants and flowers are labeled. I like taking pics of different sculptures.
Truly a wonderfully calming place to just walk and enjoy life!
Toledos hidden gem. Beautiful park with low population. Great for a lazy afternoon with nature.
This is one of my favorite places to go to relax and think. So much beauty in one place! Probably the most beautiful place in Toledo.
Went for a Spring walk. Loved hearing the birds sing, the early blooming flowers, baby pine cones and Canadian geese.
We had only a very short stop here and it seems nice. It was a bit colder (this was back in March) so we ended up heading out early as we were on a road trip out East (on our way into PA)I wish we had spent more time here but I was overruled by the wife and two boys.
This park is beautiful! Its now managed by Toledo Metroparks and I love all the changes theyve been making. There are a lot more natural areas and native plants, while still keeping the formal gardens and manicured lawns. I love all of the large trees they have across the property, and the sensory garden was especially fun. This park has something for everyone!
Nice medium sized garden. More for walks and looking at nature than anything else you might want.
I had been to the botanical gardens in the distant past, but had forgotten its many appeals. Having been to a Grad party there recently, my children and I LOVED the enchanted forest treehouse with rope challenges and bridges. But I had truly forgotten its massive and meandering girth! We enjoyed an invigorating walk, and managed to see most of the park. The landscape is naturally beautiful, and elevated by sculptures and planning.
Watching the flowers from week to week is the best therapy for anyone that just needs a way to get the fresh air.
I had no idea how many plants, flowers, etc were there. So peaceful!
Absolutely beautiful place. Enjoyed walking around and looking at the gorgeous gardens. The artist shops werent open when we were there but looked delightful.
So fun!
Have enjoyed going to the garden for the past few weekends to witness the rhododendrons blooming.
Ive lived next door all my life! Its been an ongoing blessing!
We come here every year for family pics and love the gardens!
This is a beautiful park. Love to come and walk to see the beautiful gardens. This is a popular spot for the kids to go for prom and dance photos. Pretty in the winter months also.
Really a beautiful place , and the artists where incredible.
It was an alright place, we originally wanted to go to the Toledo Zoo but ended up finding the ticket booth closed.So we decided to check this Garden out. The area wasnt all that pretty in my opinion. The garden is sorta big but nothing worth coming out 1 hour for from Michigan. Its a nice place for neighboring people or people around the place.
Wide open spaces with some interesting art pieces and botanical specimens, very unconstructed and natural looking
A very nice place there are dawn redwoods here
Very re lo axing walk with my daughter and grandkids. A beautiful park!
Big, beautiful, and free botanical garden. My wife and I spent about an hour and a half here the morning after a family wedding. Strolled the grounds and was impressed by how curated and developed the garden was. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place - you wont be let down.
So lovely and free to visit. More cities should have such gems.
Beautiful place. Plant sale does not compair to what they use to do.
A beautiful place and FREE!!! I always see photographers and their clients all over for graduation, anniversary, weddings.... It really is that beautiful and wonderful. My kids and I can easily spend 2-3 hours here and never get tired of coming back. We probably go once or twice a month.
This is one of the best parks we have around. SO much to see, absolutely a winner in my book! Depending on which entrance you use, (Elmer or Bancroft) shows a different viewpoint of the park. *Front-Back* If you enjoy plants, water, and art this is a must see for you. An old house with an old school outside cellar entrance, surrounded by a grove of trees sits just beyond the Koi Gazebo to the left upon using the Elmer entrance. You can see a bird cage nestled in the cozy looking front porch. There is a conference center and play area for children adjacent to the surroundings. There are side gardens, bird baths, and a paved pathway that leads out to the Bancroft entrance as a service road. To the right are some shops and education buildings yet hours vary and due to COVID and I am unsure of hours. Walking through there is plenty more to see a far as a wooden bridge, more paths, another hidden garden, as well as statues and artwork. During the summer months, a fountain spouts in the middle of a pond. Plenty of trees as well as carefully placed and labeled plants are to be discovered no matter where one chooses to walk. Benches, picnic tables, stone slabs/steps, and plenty of grassy areas to place a blanket even beckon one to stop and partake in the nature that is all around. Plenty of little spots that will become treasures for the adventurous await.
A nice park for a walk or picnic. There are some flower gardens if you like that sort of thing, as well as a creek. Fairly sedate and sunny.
Serene and beautiful even before the blooms of spring.
Lovely place to get fresh air and beautiful scenery!
I had an extra day to spend in Toledo, so I explored the Botanical Gardens. Lots of walking paths (sunny & shady) to explore the property. Lots of unique artwork surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. Many areas available to picnic or sit and enjoy the view while sipping a drink. There is a big area for kids that includes rope bridges, treehouse, gym equipment in a rustic setting. I thoroughly enjoyed the day strolling around & exploring these gardens.
Was there for a private function, looked a nice place to picnic, walk, chillax. There is a childrens playground. There is building with heat/AC that can rented for private functions. They allow you to decorate it for graduations or whatever type of party. On nice weekend days at peak times parking might be at a premium. We are going to go back and walk around the grounds.
Nice and clean with lots of stuff to do without your dog
Very nice trails. Simple & scenic.
Extremely impressed. Very beautiful and tranquil. The attached artists galleries were wonderful.
Absolutely stunning landscape and wonderful trails
Beautiful place, not to many ppl.
Well kept. Beautiful rose and herb gardens and cottage garden.
This is my absolute favorite place to go in Toledo. Its very peaceful and absolutely beautiful
Ive lived in Toledo for 73 million years, and Im apparently in the top 10% of Google reviewers (jealous?), so I tend to go places and have opinions on them, yet Ive never really been here. Maybe when I was a wee lad, but not in recent memory. I suppose it is easy to overlook. It should NOT be overlooked. Do not overlook it. How dare you even consider it? I was out snappin pics, and I didnt stop to figure out what everything was, so Ill just tell you what I observed: a dad or grandpa and his teenage son flying a drone. A LOT of really cool gardens, including a lot of local plants. Maybe they all were local, I did not inquire. Im sure a few were visitors. I saw two really great Sycamore trees. I saw a bunch of different groups walking about. I saw a few gals sitting and reading. I saw a lot of little decorated buildings that made me feel like I was at art camp. I saw a lot of confusing parking lots (just go slow and pay attention, you have got this). I saw a lot of ladies sitting around what looked like a stylized prairie teepee (spelling?) Surrounded by pastel colored boxes. A themed baby shower? Bridle shower? Whatever our culture has showers for now? I saw 👀 a cool old building. I saw a bunch of sculptures. I didnt like most of them, but you probably will! I saw rolling hills and a big fountain. I didnt explore that area, however, for the mosquitoes were numerous and hungry. Our wet weather of late has been truly great for mosquito-kind. I cant believe you read all of this. I hope this review was as useful as it was genuine.
Even on a cloudy day in early spring, the is a beautiful place to walk.
Very nice, relaxing place. Great in all seasons.
Easy walk with some beautiful scenery and great sculptures.
Just wish it was more acres. Other then that was wonderful.
Charming and beautiful. The landscapes feel open and natural and yet have such thought and care put into them. The water features are lovely and the engagement from the community makes this a great space to learn about new varietals of plants as well as garden design. I personally love the fact that the garden itself is many different gardens, each with it’s own concept and feeling. A wonderful place to wander and a wonderful place to while the hours away. Don’t forget to stop through the artist village either! The works produced there are stunning and the artists clearly create for the joy of creation itself.
Really nice great place to take pictures
Have been coming to Toledo Botanical Garden for 20 years. Great all season place for scenery, walking and nature. Great inspiration for my Gardens at home.
It was great..everyone loved hall, great kitchen, had everything that was needed...thank u
A must stop if visiting the Toledo area!!! Beautiful and free!!!!
Love this place. The scenery something out of a photograph. this is definitely the best spot to get pictures taken
What a wonderful way to spend a Thursday evening in the summer. Come to Toledo Botanical Gardens to enjoy excellent music in a beautiful setting. Bring your own chair and food, but you can also get some food from a barbecue food truck. There are some yummy baked good you can buy to satisfy your sweet craving.
Wow Wat a lovely place to visit this spring😍It’s so beautiful so pleasant I wish to visit again
This place feels like home to me! It is gorgeous 😍 you have so many photo opportunities, a place for your kids to play, and is wonderful for meditation. It should be noted that no pets are allowed here.
Beautiful place. I enjoy going to the botanical garden
Expansive and always new things to see. Excellent herb garden, trails, kids playground, and hosta forest gardens.
The park is very nice. The specialty shops located on the property are very interesting. I attend a pottery sale. I like this park
A wonderful place with lots of beautiful things to see!
Always beautiful. Hidden Toledo gem. Also great for PokeHunters 😉
Took our maturity pictures and they came out great
Toledo botanical gardens is a beautiful place with nice wide paths, a stroller can easily go down any path. Someone in a wheelchair could visit 90% with someone to assist them on the hills or about 50% alone.Nice clean bathrooms and a nice play area that makes the kids feel like they are playing in the trees.Something is always in bloom and most things are labeled.One of the best free places Toledo has to offer.
This place is the epitome of Pokemon GO greatness. The only better place to play is Downtown, but there is a much lower chance of getting stabbed at TBG.Go in on the Elmer side, hit the small loop. If you dont know what those things mean, ask in the Pokemon GO [Toledo] group on Facebook. Everyone is a helper there.
A beautiful experience with a garden experience that will inspire any Midwestern gardener. The perennial and woodland gardens were favorites. They have a great play structure, but due to crowd and vaccine status for our youngest, we didnt partake. Expect to spend an hour or two taking in the details of this place!
Great place to walk and look at the birds and flowers
Beautiful woodland garden with tons of hosta varieties.
So beautiful place！
Flowers arent blooming yet, but still a cool place to go
Starting to green up. Give the Gardens a month and it will be looking great.
Awesome. Flowers and streams. Kids thought it was cool too!
This place is kind of great because its a free and pretty outdoor place to go with the family or even yourself. And they have one of the most unique playgrounds in the city. Its basically like a combination of treehouses and obstacle courses. They dont have things like swings or slides. They have stuff thats made for climbing and walking through. They have a tunnel made of nets and a bouncy bridge going from one tree to another. And they usually have events for Halloween or other holidays. As you can see in the pictures we also like to picnic here because they have a really beautiful spread of land with different flowers and structures, perfect for picnicking. If you were a writer, this also would be your ideal go to place for writing. Also, its a place for weddings which my sister had done and it was nice.
So lucky to live so close to this beautiful park.
Super cute place with lots of nature to enjoy
Beautiful place for a walk or taking pictures.
This was a very charming place to visit. Theres so much to see. The paths allow for easy strolling and there are plenty of places to sit down and enjoy the view.
Nice & PeacefulWell Done & Maintained
Just love this place for an escape and to do photography
Kids loved the playground in the Secret Garden.
This place speaks for it self. If your headed out for a walk I suggest you come here.
Had my engagement photos taken here. Such a lovely park. Very well kept up and you can tell that the people who visit it take good care of it too
You can spend a whole day in this amazing, gorgeous place. Flowers and displays are jaw dropping and will leave you with all kinds of creative ideas.
A hidden yet beautiful place to visit! Scenic,peaceful and gorgeous on a nice day! The shops are on the pricey side but profits go to local challenged artists so its a great cause!
Beautiful! The treehouse was a real hit.
Excellent park, nice playground for kids.
Beautiful place. Has one of the coolest sculptures I have ever seen
A real Toledo treasure. Great for the whole family. Fun thing to do year round. Purchase a family membership. It will pay for itself easily.
My 2nd time here! beautiful!!

2022-06-14Perfect area to wander around and discovery the beauty of nature. Nice walking trails and interesting sculptures hidden all throughout. Plenty of parking and lots of signage available for navigation. Picture perfect and great for picnics. Park for kids, little ponds with fish and other wild life, bathrooms near and clean. Cant wait to go back again and see more flowers in bloom.

2022-05-10This park is amazing due to its great location and beautiful sceneries inside. The park is mostly famous for being a Botanical garden where you will find variety of flowers and plants. Moreover, we did a film shoot as one of our school projects where we found best locations such as Gazebos and other iconic places as can be seen in the photos. You must visit it if you like to enjoy spending time in park and for walk.

2022-06-12Beautiful setup. Easy to get to. Free to public. Very well explained and so many open-to-public aspects at the Artist Village! Also, the Toledo Rose Competition was happening this weekend and it was gorgeous with amazing people who loved what they did and explained it! Next year, 2023 competition will be third week of June! Will definitely come again! Also, talk about a large collection of Hostas!

2022-05-13How is this gem free?!? We are delighted by the playground, clean bathrooms, manicured gardens with fantastic signage, design of pathways to meander through, and plentiful picnic tables. We only explored a small portion and look forward to going again.

2022-04-25Ive been coming to Toledo Botanical Garden for years. Its absolutely my favorite place to go. They have wonderful paths to explore nature all throughout their gardens. A perfect place to take photos of the family. There is a treehouse playground the kids loved playing on.

2021-12-06A great spot for wedding and engagement photos in the area! Toledo Botanical Garden has beautiful locations for just your ceremony or your ceremony and reception together. I love the different beautiful spots here and how a small walk can transform your photos so much just with some different scenery.

2021-08-22The grounds are well maintained and easily accessible. There are two parking areas, one with public restrooms. The park is free to visit and open until dark daily. Lots of shaded areas and benches to take in the scenery. Every detail is meticulously planned out and beautiful! Lots of flowers in bloom as well as stunning greenery.
