Great botanical garden, with a mix of plants and sculptures. The location also has multiple craft sites for learning. There is a gift shop onsite, along with a kids play area.Most paths are asphalt to make access easy for everyone.

It is hard to believe this is a city metro park. It is truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful parks I have ever been to. I expected to enjoy it, but it far surpassed my expectations. The park has two parking areas and very good signage to the various garden areas. There is a small gift shop that sells crafts and artworks from local artisans and they have a fridge with cold drinks for purchase. The botanic garden houses an artists village with several onsite art studios. One of them is called Unruly Arts, which is a studio specifically for people with disabilities (their description - not mine). I just loved their colorful flower and art garden. We were lucky enough to catch the roses still in late bloom and a perfect fall day. This is a special place and Toledo residents are lucky to have it.

What an awesome place to visit. Our photographer chose this place as a setting for my son's senior pictures. Needless to say, we stayed after the picture to enjoy the grounds. It's such a hidden gem in Toledo. I've lived in the surrounding area for almost 51 years, and never thought to come here until it was suggested to us. We will definitely be back to enjoy as much of the little hidden sights that we can. The grounds are so well kept and awe-inspiring!

We visited for the Toledo Botanical Garden for the Jazz series. It was $10.00 admission per adult and free for kids. The Botanical Gardens themselves are free. During the concert the main entrance is closed for handicap accessibility. During normal operation the botanical gardens main entrance is the hub of activity. They have art classes, shops, the bathroom, the meeting hall, etc. The back entrance has a much larger parking lot. This botanical gardens is huge and beautiful. I think, the time before, we spent 2-3 hours walking through. I have recommended this garden to anyone who will hear about it.

The Toledo Botanical Garden is a whimsical place that is easy to get lost at. The gardens and grounds are curated/cared for very meticulously. There are many studios that produce different types of art, including blown and stained glass. You can even buy something to take with you or as a gift in their small shop. This is a great location for photography of all kinds. The gardens also support persons with disabilities through art. ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Toledo Botanical Garden, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. As a nature enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for serene and picturesque locations, and this garden truly stands out as a gem.Upon entering the garden, I was immediately struck by the peaceful ambiance and the meticulously maintained landscapes. The garden covers a vast area, featuring a diverse range of flora and fauna that captivates the senses. From vibrant flower beds to sprawling green lawns, every corner of this botanical paradise is a feast for the eyes.One of the highlights of my visit was the thematic gardens. Each one has its own unique character, offering a delightful exploration of different plant species and garden designs. The Rose Garden, with its fragrant blooms and elegant arrangement, was a particular favorite of mine. The Japanese Garden, with its tranquil pond and meticulously pruned bonsai trees, transported me to a serene world of Zen.The botanical garden also offers a multitude of recreational activities. Walking along the meandering paths, I found myself immersed in the beauty of nature, taking in the sights and sounds of birds chirping and water trickling. There are also picnic areas, perfect for families and friends to gather and enjoy a relaxing day amidst nature's embrace.The staff at Toledo Botanical Garden deserves commendation for their dedication and knowledge. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing valuable insights about the various plant species and the garden's history. Their passion for horticulture was evident, and it added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit.In addition to its visual splendor, the garden hosts various events and exhibitions throughout the year. From seasonal flower shows to art displays, there is always something new and exciting to discover. It's an excellent place for individuals of all ages to learn, explore, and connect with nature.Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Toledo Botanical Garden to anyone seeking solace in nature's embrace. Whether you are a seasoned horticulturist or simply someone looking for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this garden will not disappoint. Immerse yourself in its beauty, breathe in the fresh air, and let the tranquility wash over you. You'll leave with a renewed appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.

Stumbled on this botanical gardens while lost in toledo. It was the most beautiful place! I never expected that to be in the middle of a city. It was so peaceful. There was a lot to look at, with many flowers, trees, bushes, and benches to relax on. Also, I saw these beautiful mallards just hanging out. I will definitely visit again.

Always a mind-soothing, magical experience! Art installations are beautiful, the variety of plant and tree species provide color and blooms that change throughout the seasons, and the art houses provide interactive classes and shopping opportunities, along with artistic placements throughout the gardens. Seems there's always something new being added. If you haven't spent time or walked the garden, it's worth your time to schedule a visit.

Beautiful, well kept grounds. Easy to navigate. Loved the markers stating what each flower/bush/tree was. Wish it was dog friendly though.

It's Beautiful! Went there for a nice walk and took some photos of my fiancees Webkinz while there. It isn't the largest park ever but it's beautiful for sure. Can't imagine when everything blooms this summer it's going to be a heaven on earth!

This is a nice garden in the Toledo area. It's a bit of a drive from downtown, but reasonable. Admission is free, and there are bathrooms on the premises. The garden has an artists' village where various groups create and/or sell their artwork. As of mid-April, a lot of plants have yet to bloom, but the area would be pretty in the summer.
