An amazing place no matter the season.

Love this place. So beautiful and well maintained. Lots of peaceful areas. Great for exercise, and for beautiful photo backdrops.

Beehives that are not being taken down but otherwise it was great!

Beautiful place to walk around

Awesome place to go for a walk with family. Lot of deer that's not even scared to barking dogs.

Less kept up than in past years, but a beautiful walk especially at sunset!

This is one of my favorite places to take a stroll with my dog. A short paved walking path with different gardens all along it and plenty of places to stop and rest.

It's absolutely beautiful here and it you need a good walk or a beautiful place to do pictures, I suggest doing them here

Awesome place to walk around. Lots of interesting and beautiful sculptures. The little garden area and the many benches are great places to take photographs. Lots of cute deer walking around in the evenings. Plenty of pokestops ans gyms for pokemon go players. The lake has an awesome bridge over it where you can see all the turtles in the lake.

The Gardens are a beautiful place to walk and reflect. It's quiet and peaceful and they do a good job maintaining the property.

Gorgeous for photos!!

They do a great job in keeping the garden fresh and updated. Great place to go for a walk any time of the year.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE FOR PICS !!

Such a beautiful place

Not the botanical gardens by any means but good for an hour or two of peace and quiet

Nicely maintained, small yet relaxing to walk around.

Love taking pictures here. ♥

Great little trail!

A maze of paved paths, manicured landscape, water feature and native forests give you the chance to create your own adventures. Easy and accessible. A great way to squeeze in a getaway that doesn't have to be an all day event.

Lovely trails to walk and enjoy a variety of flowers. Would recommend to stop by and take a stroll of you have time.

Nice shaded walk. Busy butterfly garden. Bridge and pond overlook are definitely worth the walk.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! We've only visited twice, fall and winter. I can't WAIT to see Spring and Summer!

It is just magnificent and made even better by so many unselfish volunteers who donate their time,expertise, and hard work for the opportunity to make this a success.

Amazing trails that wind through a beautiful wooded area. Very accessible and super for photographers.

Asked the love of my life to marry me. She said yes ❤️

Absolutely beautiful wonderful place for a stroll and great for photo bugs recommend to anyone

Walked around before going out to dinner. Definitely a manageable walk that most anyone can do! Highly recommend going down to see the lantern and stopping to take it in. Beautiful scenery and well kept gardens! Would be wonderful for photos!

This park is my absolute favorite. I love walking the gardens and seeing the deer and geese. The gardens are so well maintained and the flowers are absolutely gorgeous. They have a pagoda that faces a lake and during the summer evenings Photography opportunities are amazing. The wildlife along makes this an amazing place for casual walks and if your a photographer-photography sessions.

Fantastic, beautiful work by the staff. The trails are all fun to explore and there are plenty of different routes to take depending on personal preference. The Lantern besides the pond at the garden is a good spot for pictures and can be a nice rest spot in this part of campus even for large groups. Would definitely recommend giving a look if you are in the area

I love the gardens. It's one place that I can go walk and enjoy myself. It also has tons of pokestops if you're into pokemon go. But remember to actually look at the gardens and not just at your phone.

So absolutely beautiful any season

How did we not know about taking pictures here. Great backdrops and photo setups in this area. But be warned...you won’t be the I love you too! ones here. Can get a bit crowded during peak times of the year.

Beautiful park with many "tame" deer. Apparently it's a great place to take family or graduation photos. The place was packed with photographers.

Very nice garden for a morning/afternoon stroll. Very well maintained. Especially, there is a pond closed by where I have seen people fishing. Thank you SIUE for providing the space.

Beautiful area to walk. Has a lovely bridge and flowers. Great place for photos.

Very nice this time of year.

One of my favorite places to take a stroll in town. Lovely area for pictures as well.

Good place for Pokémon go and also the gazebos hella tight

Great place for casual walks and park bench sitting. The paved trail through the garden is a bit narrow so it is not a great place for running or biking as it is difficult to get around the casual walkers.

Gorgeous!!!

Great place for a peaceful, beautiful walk. There is quite a bit of shade, with some areas of sun.

PokèStops and gyms through the whole path..!

Cute, scenic place to explore the outdoors. Peaceful, quaint area.

Probably the best nature walk I have ever taken in my life

Easy walk in beautiful setting. Stroller friendly. Not too long and fun sites for little ones.

Awesome place!

Beautiful park and landscape.
