    Gorgeous. It is a beautifully sectioned and extremely well kept garden. I went there with my friends and my toddler. we took her stroller on trails and it was smooth to navigate. She loved the green space and golden sunshine. Good weather plays the lead role to let you enjoy this beauty. Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses if you are visiting on a sunny day. Trails may not always have shade from trees. They have placed benches on some spots to let you take rest, feel the nature and of course, click pictures. Park wasn't overcrowded, we enjoyed walking while peacefully reading the informative stuff about what they have grown. we got so lucky to find an owl, the little guy was chilling on a lower branch of tree and posing 360° for all the people around. It was big and beautiful. Luckily, we didn't find any photographers blocking every other spot. People were clicking pictures but they were not taking very long. Over all it was great experience. I would love to visit again.

    This park is beautiful & has lots of trail options. I will definitely go back when I have more time to spend there. I went back & it's now one of my favorite spots in Columbus. Great place for kids with the garden area & little houses. Trails are great & the Secret Garden is a must see even if you're an adult. It's just so intriguing. Waterfalls, flowers, wildlife & scenic spots make this an excellent spot for photographers. So many photo ops. Grounds are beautifully manicured & the restroom was clean. Plenty of parking & benches throughout the grounds.

    I love how the gardens has various spots to stop and enjoy. It is a big garden. There were a lot of people visiting but it didn’t feel that way as I was exploring and enjoying the gardens. I loved the various kid friendly spots along the journey. From the quotes to the flowers, the gardens had many spots for self reflection. To hear the water and listen to the birds and small creatures within the woods was relaxing. The gardens are kept in great shape.

    Beautiful gardens of all kinds from an herb garden to roses and trees. A very nice walk along with some interesting sights along the way like a treehouse and other surprises.

    Inniswood is a greater Columbus treasure. From the multiple gardens, to the storybook & other walking trails, to the wide variety of photo-op locations for whatever your needs, and simply the ability to take a break from it all while surrounded by the beauty of nature—Inniswood covers the gamut! Typically you’ll see animals like bunnies roaming around. Or, butterflies and bees flying from one flower to the next. Plenty of sights to be seen at this park. My favorite is the Woodland Rock Garden because it offers a tranquil sound of the stream. Note: you can’t run or jog at this park. There’s an ample amount of parking—even on busy days, I was still able to find a parking spot. If you’re in need of water, there is a fountain by the park’s office, located next to the Herb Garden and Woodland Rock Garden.

    If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Not sure how I ever overlooked this amazing spot in the Columbus area. I wish I would have known about it sooner. Absolutely stunning location to take a walk and enjoy flowers, birds, and nature in general. You could spend a few hours here for sure, and still want to come back the next day and do it all over again. Friendly staff helped answer questions I had as well. Don't overlook this amazing park that Columbus has to offer.

    Just a beauty of a park/metro garden. Lots of trails and gorgeous flowers. Always enjoy our visits here. Bathroom facilities are a nice plus, parking can fill up but many walk in from the neighborhoods too! The boardwalk trail is amazingly maintained and generally enjoy this place!

    If your looking for a awesome romantic place to take someone and take awesome photos. It is very refreshing place to relax and just take in nature and the sounds and smells. It is also close to Hoover dam and the downtown Westerville where you can just park and walk to everything.

    I love to go walking at Inniswood! Today my son called and said my grandson wanted to invite me on a walk. When we got there, he led the way, and we ended up at 2 Sisters Garden, and thank goodness for for Granny’s House and Bessie’s Barn, because we got caught in a downpour. But Inniswood has such beautiful flowers at all times of the year! And the paths are easy to walk, and there are so many areas to explore.

    It’s a very lovely garden featuring lots of flowers. Very peaceful and serene. The walkways are pretty wide. Very family friendly. I went there and saw many families with newborns, elderly people and a preschool field trip!! Very well maintained and the staff there are nice too. Free of admission. Restrooms are available on site as well. Lots of parking available.

    Our favorite place to enjoy nature while playing Pokémon Go! Beautiful trails with exquisite flowers and trees! Paths are stroller friendly and great for walking even if you're not in the best physical shape.

    No food, pets or running, or cycling makes for a clean, peaceful stroll through beautiful wooded areas and thoughtfully curated gardens.

    One of my favorite parks in the city! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and I love seeing the changes in landscaping each time I go. Great trails and a good place for photos or picnics. A gem within our city!

    Nice place not just for relaxation but also for photo shooting with well equipped flouring garden, clean environment, nice picnic tables. Came here for a wedding photo shoot excellent experience. Nice bike trails although a little bit short still liked it.

    Inniswood is always a real joy to walk thru! The seasonal flowers are always so beautiful. The volunteers and staff do a great job of keeping it looking great. It's small enough to not get lost but has several path options to keep your walk interesting. Bonus ..I have seen beautiful owl, just hanging out, a couple of times!

    This is an amazing park. Beautiful landscape. Waterfalls and an fairy forest. They also have wheelchairs for anyone that need them. I broke my ankle and got to enjoy the park. They are built for people with disabilities that is amazing.

  • 5/5 Kendall M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely park. They have a cute picnic area south of the parking lot other than that area no food is allowed in the park. It's always so stunning and well kept every time I go. I will definitely be returning!
