My husband and I took a week-long trip through Texas. We saw many things, but this was by-far the coolest! It is breath taking and mind boggling. The architecture is amazing, its very unexpected in the city. The water is soothing. Its nice that this attraction is free. You could spend an hour or so walking around and enjoying the... More

Downtown, so not so easy to get to and you have to pay parking. The gardens are beautiful. You'll often see children playing there and people having picnics around it.

The Water Gardens in downtown Ft. Worth is a lovely place to spend time with friends and family. You can go for a casual walk or take time to sit, think, ponder, or reflect. A great place to collect your thoughts and get away from the hustle of everyday life. (Keep in mind I went mid week and mid day.... More

A perfect place to sit or stroll on fair days and any pleasant evening. Was used as the set in a scene of the movie "Logan's Run" (many years ago). Lighting at night provides a completely different experience than the day, but both are refreshing. More

years ago this was the place to hang for a lazy morning;you could wander down into the falls and enjoy the sounds of the water falling down the walls. They have now fenced-railed it off and it is for looking at only. Takes away alot of the experience. yet if you are in the area, just GO! More

It is water gardens. If it is during the week, it is a good place to sit and read and book. Water sound muffles out the noise from downtown. Weekends and summertime lots of families. More

My first visit was summer of 1983 and for many years would visit every summer, it is still an fairly interesting place to take visitors still due to its "water noise and flow" Just go ther if U have never and try hard to relax for a short time to let your mint and soul go somewherer. More

I wasn't impressed with the water gardens at all. I thought there should be more to it. It's one redeeming quality? It's free! More
