- Gardengel-IoWWest Sussex, UK1,014 contributionsWe walked here from The Holiday Inn. The Garden is free, you only have to pay to go inside the Crystal Bridge, which we did, but all other planting/landscaping outside is free to see. Beautiful. Water around, ducks and koi. Everything else built up around like the water is at the bottom of valley.
Most of the photos for the reviews on this Garden are of the inside of the Crystal Bridge.
Crystal Bridge; the usual conservatory/greenhouse planting but done very well and upper viewing gallery. Not sure worth the $9 for itself but if you include outer space then definitely.
Walked from here to Scissortail Park and bridge, itself a nice space.Written August 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The animals weren't active - mostly lying in the shade. The giraffes were walking around eating their leaves which is always fun to watch. The walkways are wide and fairly well-marked although I ended up having to back-track a couple of times. Not much shade so wear sunscreen and a hat. The vet clinic was interesting (and air-conditioned) so worth stopping in to watch a video and see the equipment.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BBomberryApache, OK21 contributionsWent here for my 65th birthday just to fish and really enjoyed it. Great place to play Pokemon. Lol.
Wish there were more handicapped piers but the ones that are there are nice.Written August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are several trails all under a mile. They can be combined if you are looking for a longer walk, but a mile was perfect for us. I should have taken a picture of the map at the entrance because we were a little confused at times, but if you keep walking there are maps scattered throughout the park.
My favorite part of the hike was coming upon an area where you could walk down to the river bank. There were large boulders to stand or sit on since the river was down. It was beautiful.Written February 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It made a gorgeous background for my client’s wedding photos and there were dozens of butterflies at every turn!Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gwardbeelerBoston, MA795 contributionsVery nice open space with a farmers market on Saturday mornings. Lots of wildflowers and a little broom running through. A nice place to walk but not a lot of shade, so not great on a hot day. Hopefully some trees will grow bigger soon to offer some shade.Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- michaelmA7636ISMarlow, United States24 contributionsLines can be long but it's worth a trip up to the top. The free fall portion was broken while we were there.Written December 13, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebekah MEdmond, OK2 contributionsThis bike shop was inviting, knowledgeable and accommodating. An excellent first experience with e-bikes. If you are wanting to know more or hire an e-bike for the first time, you could not find a better spot. Thank you guys.Written July 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Diane GNorman, OK93 contributionsGood swimming pool to hang out with a variety of ages kids. The kid area starts out shallow and gets deeper with slides for the older kids. Staff is very nice and life guards on always on the lookout. The pavilions offer shade and if rented for a group you can take food and non alcoholic beverages in which is a vane changer for me with a huge crowd. The restrooms need routine cleaning throughout the hours of the park. The where very nasty and a lot of them needed to be flushed or stocked in toilet paper.Written July 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul M10 contributionsThis place is WAY over-priced. It is good for kids under 7, which works for my kid. They have some birds that eat our of your hand, a couple of tortoises, and some sting rays to touch, but the star fish was closed. My daughter did have fun, as she is 6.
It is small, outdated, and you almost immediately feel like you shouldn't have paid the high price as soon as you walk in. I think it should be $10 for adults and $7 for kids. Be prepared to regret the cost. The kids will enjoy the animals and such. If it was cheaper, I would be more apt to recommend.Written June 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Good equipment, relatively safe and plenty of space for people to engage in activities such as fishing, jogging, or playing on equipment. I imagine it would be hotter than blue blazes in the summer, but in October it was perfect weather for a wedding. The meeting space was clean and functional; there was even a a kitchen for use. We just had to clean up afterwards.Written October 17, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sharon EGoodyear, AZ216 contributionsThe park was wonderful. We rode the ferris wheel and had a great overlook of the city. They had games for the children to play on the lawn. Plus large hammocks around the park.Written July 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cassidy8 contributionsNot sure how you can make a city owned dog park a membership only. Waste of time driving there. And the membership has to be mailed in so no time for visitors to do so.Written June 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TeamWardNottingham, UK5,691 contributionsAlong the Bricktown canal you will easily find the Chickasaw Plaza, where stands a lone Chickasaw tribe statue with several panels of information, well worth a read.Written November 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jkoss79Oklahoma City, OK6 contributionsThis place is a sham. I bought a deal on Black Friday that they won't honor, I can't get anyone to call me back or return my messages. It's ashame, this is a great idea and could have been something really special. The time I went there, they let people drink beer out of glass bottles on the water and there's cigarette butts all in the sand, it's gross and dangerous. Definitely not for kids.Written August 21, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
