  • A good time to go up the tower is at dusk so that you can see the city and then all the lights come on. It’s a fun thing to do if you have time, it is walkable from the Riverwalk area and you can buy....  more

  • Wow! There’s no better view than from the turning/spinning Hemisfair…elevator ride up was more suspenseful than the ride down! The food was great too!

  • Wonderful park for all ages. Lots of climbing structures that big and little kids can enjoy. Thought the tiled benches were gorgeous. Looks handmade and so festive. We were there in the spring, so not sure how hot they get. Seems to be a lot of shady areas to enjoy. Even hammocks we're available for a shady little siesta. Super cool (pun intended!!).
  • I remember going on field trips to this park; boy has it changed, but for the better. My boys love coming here, there's so much to do and there's a cool coffee place to get caffeine. Make sure you have some, so you can have enough energy to run around with the kiddos. There's also some cool spots to get food. If you have kiddos, THIS IS A MUST. If you visit in the summer they have the splash pad open (don't know now with COVID around).
  • Bring some water and a towel or Pack a little lunch. You can easily spend 2 hours. The park is well populated, clean and fun. (Swings, seating, jungle gym ropes, shade, chess, checker, splash pad and more) Don't forget to grab some delicious, ice cream around the corner at Licks. A very unique farm to table seasonal flavors shop.
  • Park is undergoing major repairs so not everything was active. Large areas blocked off making access to the tower a bit challenging by foot. Waterfalls that were running were gorgeous. Other side of park has very nice playground.
  • I don't know when but they redid the whole park beautifully! My family love the park here! All fun outdoor activities and playground here is spread out throughout the park property and it has a fun splash pad. Kids can play with water and parents can lounge on chairs and hear music. Very colorful, beautiful environment! We enjoyed it and will continue to come!
