- Cindy L33 contributionsStopped by on our way out of town. We enjoyed the sculptures and the tongue-in-cheek names. The park was free. The area was nicely shaded, so we were able to enjoy on it on a hot summer day.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rkh3201883 contributionsWe were driving past on the way from Chestnut Mountain Resort and decided to stop. It is free, interesting and has a beautiful view. There was some information about the aera, but I wish they would have had more explaining the sun dial in the middle and some of the area views. Definitely worth stopping at if you are nearby but I don't know if I would make a special trip.Written August 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David MRacine, WI16 contributionsThis reserve is a hidden gem. Trails are easy and well maintained. Views of the prairie and woodlands are spectacular. Anyone who appreciates archeological history will enjoy this area.Written June 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Neil1455Wilmette, IL38 contributionsVisiting in the fall like we did one does not get the full effect of the gardens. But it is obvious the owners have put a lot of effort into laying out and planting the gardens.Written October 1, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 196LindaCMukwonago, WI680 contributionsjust a short walk from the parking lot, you can find the beginning of the trail. We didn't spend much time there as it started raining but we had some beautiful views of the river. It is an easy trail.Written October 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
