Inniswoods is part of the Franklin County Metroparks. However, it is a unique park and not a more typical walk through the woods park. While is has a walk thru the woods section with and without a board walk, it also has unique features such as a Japanese garden, rose garden, herb garden. etc. Well worth a visit. Great place to take pictures. You cannot eat inside the park but there are areas near the parking lot where you can eat.

This is a really great place to explore! There are several paths that lead to various areas of the garden. You'll find so many unique and interesting things throughout the garden. I really loved the boardwalk paths, stone bridges, and gardens of course. The 3 sisters garden was super cute and probably my favorite part of the entire place. The story maze in particular was adorable! There were so many squirrels along the path just hanging out which really surprised me. We're from the hocking hills and you usually don't see squirrels quite that closely. My husband remarked that they're city squirrels and are used to people feeding them. I highly recommend visiting, especially with kids. It is very stroller friendly. Best of all... it's free and has plenty of parking.

Inniswood Gardens is an awesome garden/Park. There are a variety gardens such as Conifer garden, Rose garden, Herb garden, Rock garden, etc. In addition, there are several nice trails which stay cool from the shade of the trees even on a hot day. Do not miss the Boardwalk trail. There are so many other unique and interesting things throughout the garden. In fact, at one spot during my visit, a guide was pointing out a Barred Owl young one sitting in a tree to visitors. The Sisters’ garden is small but attractively designed.
Inniswood Gardens is a wonderful place to enjoy trails and gardens. It is a facility that takes pride in its maintenance. Well worth a visit. It's free and has plenty of free parking.

We visited the park for our first time and walked the Overlook Trail. The hike took about an hour, including time at the overlook and a few other stops. The trail was reasonably level, well groomed, and fall colors were in abundance. We saw wild turkeys and we enjoyed the river overlook though we did not see eagles.

Good afternoon stroll through gardens to get outside in late May. Beautiful setting particularly the built water features. Mix of shaded and sunlit areas. Roses looked like past their prime during our visit.

Wow. I am from the Cleveland area and cherish our Metroparks. I only wish we had a place like Inniswood gardens. A must visit when staying in the Columbus area. We plan on going back to spend more time. I saw flowers I had never seen before and the sister's garden was my favorite so far. We still need to explore other area's next time and pack a lunch and make a longer day of it!!!

Beautiful gardens and we'll maintained paths. There is a picnic area that is clean. This a really nice place. There are lots of people though, so a private walk is probably not a possibility. Also seems to be a favorite background for photographers.

Loved this attraction so much that I returned the next day to visit again. On each visit, I saw different things and walked different trails.
Don't miss the Sisters' Garden, especially if you bring children with you. This area is full of fun surprises for children of all ages and for adults.
Lots of colorful things to see, even in October. There were very few blooming roses left in the rose garden. Must be beautiful in the summer.
Most paths are paved, although some were boardwalk or gravel.
Pick up a map between the parking lot and the circle garden.
There are restrooms at the far end of the parking lot, right near the curved drive leading from one section of parking to the next.

The minute you walk into Inniswood Metro Gardens, you forget you are in the suburbs. Your are surrounded on both sides by thick woods as you cross over a rocky stream and up a hill to be welcomed by seasonal flowers and foliage that will bring a smile to even the most stressed out visitor. From there, you can stroll down a wooded path to discover 'Grandma's House' and 'Bessie's Barn' as well as the Sister's Secret Garden. A little further and you will be drawn in by the waterfalls and stream that is everyone's favorite spot to stand and pause. That's just about 1/4 of what you can experience at Inniswood. This is one of my favorite places on earth. Visit and bring your camera. Note: This is a botanical garden, so no pets, picnics, balls or frisbees.

I had lived in Columbus for 16 years and in New Albany for 7 before going to Inniswood. It was a pleasant day and my wife was on a business trip, so I thought I'd give the park a try. It was so great that I brought my wife to visit when she got back. There are manicured gardens, a nature walk, consciously-designed natural areas, a number of interesting pieces of art, and all kinds of fauna. It was a delight.

Are there any signs up telling people to keep off the rocks in the rock garden? I was at Inniswood for the first time today and there were signs around this pretty little creek / rock formation so I didn't take my son's picture. I'm not sure if those are always there. I see that same location on different professional photographers' websites and wonder if they just ignore the signs or if this is a temporary thing.

Hello there - I'm pretty sure the signs are always there. Professional photographers seem to do what they can.
