    Dorrian Green is well maintained and has some cool selection of xylophones and drums to play. The beautiful flowers and greenery are well maintained. It's a cool park waiting on the neighborhood going in across the street. Be careful of the bees though, I got stung.

    Wonderful park with lots of science stuff to play with and making music with mallets and having a concert right now for free with a drink bar and snacks and squirrels.

    Don't build the park if the restroom closes at a different time than the park does. This city is inept.

    Visited COSI on 10-14-23 with three adults and five kids. The total price for the entire day, which included parking, entrance, and food, cost approximately $410. We've been coming off and on for some odd years, and while we have always really enjoyed it as a family, it gets harder to justify the astronomical price, comparatively to other things. Many exhibits are the same as they've been, with little to no change whatsoever, in the last decade. The cafeteria can hardly maintain the influx outside of very early morning hours. Prices for food are extremely high (higher than amusement parks, football games, or other comparative places pricing), and this particular time, the special exhibit (Barbie) was incredibly underwhelming. While the kids had an incredible time, and we adults too, and enjoy what COSI has to offer, as a returning and paying visitor, it's in need of a total face-lift in regards to maintenance; and just in general. If you've never been, it is highly recommended as it's a unique and incredible place to experience. Adults and children alike can explore and be immersed into a world of science and exploration, but it has little to no return value outside of special exhibits.

    Definitely a nice park. Liked the way they blended greenery with interactive art such as musical instruments. The park had a splash pad so the kids loved that. They seemed to like a climbing apparatus (I have no idea what to call it), and a gears with and magnets (again it will no idea). So many things for them to do). It was a short but enjoyable visit. Next time we will go on a cooler day.

    Nice little park. I hope they do more festivals there.

  • 3/5 Tasha H. 9 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Nice gathering area, with water sprinkling out the ground to entertain and cool down while visiting Dorrian green . Not a lot of parking, which is weird since that did use to be 2-4 lots of parking foe COSI. 🤔 would have helped to keep one of the lots for the different events down in the area

  • 3/5 Mcmahan G. 11 months ago on Google
    It's a great park just no were to park which sucks 😕

  • 1/5 Susan S. 6 months ago on Google
    What's the point of building a restroom if it's not going to be open?

  • 5/5 Meng T. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall great place to hang out with the family. Lots to do around the area. Lots of places to sit and relax. Parking can be cheap depending on where you park.

  • 5/5 Herb W. 2 years ago on Google
    Many interactive areas, including music, ping pong tables, sculptures, and bags/cornhole.

  • 5/5 Julie D. 2 years ago on Google • 7 reviews
    This park s delightful, with something fun for everyone to do. Wr loved the blend of beauty, science, activity and peace on a blue-sky Sunday aftrrnoon. The play area offered fun challenges for kids and adults. Musical instruments were fun. Swinging benches with a view of grass and downtown buildings was wonderful. We found easy - and free. street parking nearby. Immaculate and quiet.Great job - to those who created it and to those who keep it up.

    My little boy likes this place specially the spray area...he wouldn’t mind coming everyday!

  • 5/5 Gabe W. 6 years ago on Google
    Similar to Columbus Commons, this park took underutilized space in the form a surface parking lot, and transformed it into a beautiful park. The new underground parking garage should add tremendous value with the new Vets Memorial and future development planned nearby.

  • 5/5 Valerie B. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a beautiful park and centrally located behind COSI.

    1st time we visited, loved the swings and playground!

  • 5/5 Friar A. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasant gem tucked in by COSI, concealing an underground parking garage. It is well tended, and easy for a small group of people to socially distance while walking.

  • 4/5 Casey M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice urban park area with amenities like shaded seating/tables, ping pong (bring your own supplies), swings, kid playground, bathrooms, and even a solar powered charging station. Near public parking and COSI. Clean and had some families enjoying the space today.
