This place is awesome. Amazingly beautiful. Don't forget to visit the Japan house that is close by. The Japan house being next door puts it right in the line when visiting. Don't miss out, walk through and check it out. Find the best!

This is simply amazing! Despite its small size, the park boasts an incredible variety of hundreds of flower species. I visit this place at least once a week, and every time I'm greeted with the sight of a new blooming flower that I haven't seen before. It's aptly named the "idea garden" for a reason. The inspiration it provides is truly awe-inspiring, and it fills my heart with joy each time I visit. Even if you're not usually a park-goer, I guarantee that this one is a must-visit. Additionally, there are charming subsections like a fairy garden, a vegetable garden, and fruit trees. If you want to start your day off right, this is the place to be today.

One of the best walking places on campus. It's a nice and refreshing place. I always feel refreshed after visiting this place. There are a variety of flowers blooming there during summer. There is a "Childrens corner" at the Idea garden there. So, kids can also certainly enjoy it a lot.

Beautiful plants from the world over. I only wish it was larger

Beautiful place to take a stroll with amazing scenery! Catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom during spring!

Lovely place! Really good for spending time with nature. I particularly love the varied colors all over. Lots of places to sit, relax, go jogging, and almost anything you'd require space for 😀. If you're within the Champaign-Urbana area, this is definitely worth checking out!

Although small, it’s a nice place to take walks or to just relax whether it’s to just nap, do homework, or read a book.

A beautiful quiet place to walk.

A large park with a lake and wildlife. I think it was a beautiful park. There's the Japan House as well.

Nice walking place

The park is awesome! I loved seeing the turtles in the pond. The biodiversity of the arboretum is amazing. There are hundreds of species of plants, and the garden was in full bloom in the middle of the summer, so I'd imagine it's also stunning throughout the spring and fall. Some of the trees here are 5 or 6 feet in diameter. I'm revising my review to say that I don't believe there are any public restrooms in the Arboretum. I'm not taking off any stars for that, and I could be incorrect, but just be prepared when you go!

It's just beautiful out there. A dollar gets you an hour of parking and theres so much to see from the tree alleys to the Japan house to the cherry trees. There are ponds and a walk path as well as plenty of places to picnic or let the kids run. Just a wonderful place to visit.

Great site with a Japanese garden and tea house. Very tranquil. There was even a student meditating when I visited.

One of my favorite areas to take walks at with my husband. I got married here last summer and it was perfect. Such a beautiful spot and the gardens are well maintained!

In my opinion the best park in Chambana. It is really nice to sit at the lake and relax, read a book or watch the turtles and fish there.

Very nice park, great space, needs more golf carts though because nothing is close to the entrance. My cousins wedding went off without a problem though. Oh and tents, that sun was major!

A nice place to walk around and watch the beautiful flowers specially in the spring. There are a nice lake near by with many beautiful trees and walkways for hiking or biking. A highly recommend place if you are looking for a very refreshing and relaxing time.

Really beautiful and quiet place in this ugly and noisy town. There are lots of plants and a small pond. The park is free on weekends, or you can just park in Orchard Downs and walk there. But don't go there just after a rainfall, since you will need to walk on grass sometimes.

Great views, not too far from campus! A great place to take pictures with friends or family. Be sure to check it out in the spring when the trees bloom!

Amazingly maintained, I visited there in Spring and now in Summer both time it is full of seasonal flowers and nicely manicured in detail.

Absolutely so peaceful and beautiful! Love seeing the Koi and turtles and peacock bass. The plants are so lovely and well cared for. Truly a great place to find some peace.

This is one of my favorite places in Illinois. The incredible and agriculture deserve applause. The architecture is lovely, the open space is divine, and the experience is so therapeutic. Don't miss out on this local treasure.
