    I attended the holiday artisan fair and was impressed both with the beauty of the building, and the quality of the artisans work. The landscaping was gorgeous as well. Greeting guests outdoors at the entryway was a vendor of coffee. Wish I had tasted some. The place was so popular, the parking lot was pretty full but I got a spot and somebody pulled out. There was a lot of parking spaces and the grounds were delightful. I was glad to see an elevator for the second floor. This would be a lovely location for an event like a wedding.

    The flower garden on the South side is so pretty in late spring. It’s a lovely place for a wedding. The playground on the East side was a favorite of my sons when they were little.

    Clean, large play area and seating. Many of the neighborhood kids, schools and summer program us the park. When I've been there, it has always been lively with children playing and laughing.

    Beautiful park with several nice museums/buildings to visit. We were there for the Art in Wilder Park Festival. Lots of excellent art, crafts, music, and food vendors. Well worth checking out. Parking is scarce so prepare for a bit of a walk from where you park to get to Wilder Park.

    Absolutely love it! The landscaping is stunning. They have green houses, a big canopy for weddings and or parties, and there is a well designed playground for kiddos. I totally think you will enjoy taking a mid afternoon walk and or a late evening stroll under the moon light in this breathtaking park. Make sure you keep your cameras on because you don’t wanna miss taking pictures under the gorgeous trellises and blooming flowers of every kind. You got to put this on your list to do. Wilder Park awaits you!!!

    I was just taking a walk here and wanted to mention how beautiful Wilder Park is. I moved to the area last year, and a gorgeous greenhouse with beautiful surrounding grounds and great history behind it is exactly where I want to be. I love the Greenhouse especially! In fact, I picked it to have my engagement photos taken here earlier this year and they came out perfect!! It was the perfect setting to be. Everytime I come to visit it's very clean and cared for. Great place, near by!!!

    The small conservatory displayed a select variety of flowers and plants. The playground was fun for the kids.

    This place is the best suburban park in the country. Hands down. Come for a nap, a picnic or take the kiddos to the park. There’s something for everyone. Great picnic groves. Beautiful nature trees for shade. Stroll around the college and check out the library. Right next to town. We have family birthday celebrations there. Clean and classy. Nice bathrooms. Give me a thumbs up or +1 if you found this useful.

    There is an elegant and stylish garden by the greenhouse the harbors different flowers and plants to see. A pond of coin fish and exotic Flora to see in the Greenhouse. A couple of benches and picnic tables to do family picnics. And a playground to bring Children to.

    We attended a memorial service at the Wilder Mansion for a family member that passed away recently. The facility is beautiful and the grounds were in spring bloom. We are glad that an otherwise sad occasion was made more enjoyable by the hospitable staff and location.

    Wilder Park has so much to offer, a central location, a great playground, a walking path, a greenhouse and surrounding gardens, and the iconic Wilder Mansion. Next to the Elmhurst Art Museum and library.

    We have been here couple of times. The playground is great but today was extremely busy. Still our son had a blast.

    Shady, and peaceful spot with a pretty expensive play area with a wide variety of slide types and a giant climbing web connecting all the various components and walkways. We loved it!

    Gorgeous park! Very small and intimate, definitely don’t need much time here. Would be cute for a proposal or a romantic picnic
