- Jennifer H13 contributionsTulips were blooming in March, so beautiful time to visit. The garden is in a more informal, natural setting. You are allowed to pay a small fee and bring your dog. We had a wonderful time strolling through out the gardens, the map they provide at entry is helpful to navigate the areas. Ample parking and clean restrooms.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WildHaireAdventuresTyler, TX1,561 contributionsThis is a beautiful, easy accessible chapel located next to the Garvan Woodland Gardens. It’s free to visit with plenty of parking. The architecture and views are amazing. I could sit here for hours, if close by, don’t miss this gem.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rmksmkWilloughby Hills, OH298 contributionsWe went up the tower to see the sunset on s cloudy evening. Even though the sun only peeked through a couple times, the view was breathtaking! It was quite windy on the outdoor observation deck. A floor below is an enclosed observation area also. However, the lights inside glare on the windows so it’s harder to get a good picture. The ride up was intense with many horseshoe turns. The drive down only had a few. You have to pay to go up to the top, but it’s well worth it. There’s a senior rate which we’re always glad to see.Written March 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jpete02Lansing, MI877 contributionsJust did the waterfall trail here, which is only about a 1/2 mile each way, if you don’t do the full loop trail, and just hike out the same way you came in.
Went on a nice early Spring day and waterfall had plenty of water. Nice clear pool at bottom of falls that would be refreshing to swim in on a hot day in the summer (if there has been enough rain). Easy hike and minimal elevation change. Waterfall is not large but pretty enough and you can get very close to it.
Employees at visitors center were very nice and it is free to visit this park. Trail to waterfall starts at one end of the campground. Follow signs to trails. Park is about a twenty to twenty five minute drive from Hot Springs.Written March 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It becomes clear as to why this was part of the health and recovery regime of the times. Just a great place to either listen to nature on your walk or find a good tune and put your music while relaxing and taking in the sightsWritten December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sunshyne_DaySeguin, Texas184 contributionsThis was so much fun and very interesting. We had a lovely lady give us the 'tour' and she pointed out and explained all the detail of the huge train display.Written November 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Noel78Tennessee608 contributionsThere were excellent offerings at this small market in January. We bought sourdough bread, fire cider, mushrooms, herbal tea and eggs.
There were crafters with lovely knit and crocheted items and handsome cutting boards.
We enjoyed our stop even though we’re off season right now for a lot of fresh foods.Written January 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The props were amazing especially the telephone switchboard and the Jacob's ladder. The clues were challenging without being impossible. Great activity especially on a cloudy/rainy day.Written September 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RanDebbieBlue Springs, MO72 contributionsMy family and I have been to numerous escape rooms. This one was among the best. The guide was very helpful. The adventure was challenging but not too hard. We made it out in 45minutes. Highly recommend!Written March 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jandpvmTrenton, TX6 contributionsThis place was fabulous. If you’re looking for a treasure to bring home from your Hot Springs visit, definitely visit here. When you pull in, it looks like you’re pulling into someone’s house, but go on up the hill and go in. You won’t be disappointed.Written June 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- chris_5823Pass Christian, MS18 contributionsTons of fun. Our guides Rita and Christian made our trip there an absolute blast. Easy walk to each station. The ziplines were all scenic and exciting. We all felt safe the entire time. Would go again and again.Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
