Glenwood Gardens

Great beautiful park. You can do many things here. Taking photos under the Arch is just one thing of many. It has a garden where you need to be assigned before you get access.

Outstanding place! I visited in March, but there were some flowers already bloomed such as daffodils, some purple ones, and a type of roses. At the entrance, there is the cotswold overlook, which is breathtaking. Dog and kids friendly. In March, there was a free Plenty of parking lot. Restrooms available. Trails for hiking.
I saw a groom and bride having their photo session in this place because it is that beautiful.
There is a souvenir store called "nature's 's niche" and a discovery garden called: Highfield discovery garden".

Beautiful, well maintained park. We enjoyed the Highfield park section with playground, fairy garden, and walking/nature trails. the playground equipment seems to be geared more towards younger kids our nine year old had a good time but we could tell he would be bored with the equipment fast. There is a charge of $6 per person for this portion of the park. Parking is free. There is an area to eat, and a gift shop, as well

Really enjoyed my visit here. For $16 (non resident) you can get an annual pass good for this and other Hamilton county parks. An additional $5 per person will allow you to visit the Discovery Garden which was quite charming with fairy gardens, miniature trains, etc. There's also a two mile paved loop in the main portion for some easy walking.

Glenwood Gardens is a beautiful park to go to for a walk or miscellaneous events (each time we go we've seen events underway: couple's photography, prom photos, etc.). Fortunately, these events don't take anything away from those of us just looking for a nice walk in good weather. It includes a few walking trails that branch off each other. Be warned, because other than the 1.6 mile Wetland Loop trail, shade is not often found on the path, so avoid in severe heat or without sunscreen. The only negative I have to mention is that while all the trails connect to one another, the park is missing signs at the intersections telling you which path is which. We did notice incline warnings on the Wetland Loop trail, but we had to plan out our walk by studying the map beforehand (under the arched tunnel). Definitely learn the trail you want before setting off, because the park makes no mention of it after the start.

Overall, a beautiful park to go to for those who love to walk, and appropriate for athletes, dog walkers, couples, the elderly, and everyone between.

Went here solo just to walk around and soak up this beautiful planet and GODS good vitamin D and it was wonderful. Great way to start my day. People couldn't help but be friendly. It was free to walk around. I think they may have some paid trails but I'm not sure. Didnt check into those. You can also veer off on level 3 trails (a little more strenuous) and thats where even more beauty is. The forest gets thicker its just a lovely walk either way. Definitely going back when I'm in the area.

Great place to take the little ones to learn the appreciation of gardening. There are places for them to play, walk, climb, see pretty colors, new smells, get misted on and enjoy your company. Great bonding time with the 4yr old granddaughter.

This was our family's first time here at the gardens during the wintertime. We didn't know what to expect. It was awesome, sure it looked bare without the vegetation but it still worth going out. Our kids loved the train display, the hands on Morse code station. The individual showing off different creatures to the kids. Then of course the always entertaining playground and the overall whimsical theme. This is truly one of Cincinnati's hidden gems for families.

Beautiful grounds with walking trails, amazing scenery and gardens. Awesome discovery garden area for the kids too. We loved the place so much we held our outdoor wedding there in September. The pictures are awesome.

Beautiful garden, fun for kids. We love the new music garden. The staff was really nice to explain the history to us.

An amazing place! I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. Especially considering its like 10 minutes from my house. There is a lot to see and do here. The kids area got thrown kid in me going and excited about what was next. If you go with kids or family, you should just get a year membership because you will definitely be back more than once. I'm not an outdoorsy guy but, I can not wait to get back here.

Kid's Discovery Garden is precious and a lot of fun, $5 to get in. The rest of the park has some good, paved walking trails and parking is super easy. Right by fast food and other shopping for when you're done.

Absolutely beautiful park with so much for kids to explore. We visited again for the Fairy Festival which was a little disorganized but we still enjoyed ourselves. We were disappointed to find out that even though we were told the festival was handicap accessible, it did not actually include the hill down to the music garden nor the area down there where majority of the festivities were held. Luckily our group made our way down and really enjoyed what we saw. The music gardens were beautiful as well as you could see the festival was well planned in the entertainment regards. Everyone we met once we were within the garden was doing their best and so nice. I wish they had been more staffed since the park staff seemed very stressed out and a few made remarks that could have come off ruder if we all weren't trying to be understanding with each other considering the event was clearly overwhelming for them more than us. We have visited before (Harry Potter event) and will continue to visit again because I know they will only improve each visit.

Always love coming here. Very peaceful and calming. Trails are easy. Wheelchair no problem. It has a real cute gift shop too. Highly recommend especially for families with small kids.

Very nice park with lots of different flowers and paced trails. Hasn't been anyone working the booth the last two times I've been here. Restrooms available.

Beautiful park. Perfect for toddlers and young kids. It costs 5.50 to get into the area with the big tree but there are trails that are free.

Such a fun place for young kids and families..
Lots of hidden gems to discover ( fairy garden, dragon, the big tree is an adventure in it's own... Frogs in the water....a tea party house) ...
Trains ! ..A "wishing hat" ... Nature center ..

The Great Parks Of Hamilton County are some of the best parks in the country. Wonderful place to take the family to enjoy the great outdoors

This park has beautiful walking trails and a small pay for entry kids garden. The garden has an outdoor train, tree house playground, a play tea house, a food garden, and many other fun gems.

There's no word except awesome. We had great times.
