Was very nice and welcoming. Quiet and great place to unwind. It is unique and have never seen anything like it.However parking is on the street and you do have to pay for it if you are driving. Also the parking can be hard to find if going during rush hour.Overall I would love to go back here everyday if I could.

Fun 30 minute adventure exploring the different water garden areas. Wear slip resistant shoes if you are going to go down into the waterfall area or climb the mountain. The quite pool was beautiful and very peaceful. It didnt seem like the aerated pool was working as designed. The mist was neat, but the sign described a flat, table top effect we didnt experience. Still a fun and enjoying detour.

Absolutely beautiful place! Great for photos. Nice place for a free date. There are 4 main exhibits; 3 water features and a large stone one (The mountain). Cant believe it took me so long to actually go for the first time. I definitely recommend going at night. The lighted aerated water feature is awesome in the dark!

There was no parking spot by the gardens in spite of the low number of visitors. It is possible, though, to park in the streets which were empty. (In September 2020). The main attraction was shut off but other water spaces were functional and quite clean and taken care of. It is wonderful to just hang around and enjoy the soothing sound of the streams and the beautiful landscape. An ideal location for people who work in Downtown and wish to take a break and relax with a book or a friend.

Nice little hidden gem. My sister and I saw it as something to do when we were visiting the area and we were not disappointed. There were nice grassy areas if you want to sit and relax in the shade. Many pathways to explore. Great place for photo shoots. I did not see and signs saying no to climb onto the platform above the highest terraces so if you choose to it will be at your own risk. There is no handrail and it would be a very bad fall.

This has been one of my favorite places in Fort Worth since I was a child. Doesn’t matter how many times I go, I’ll always see it as one of Fort Worth’s top FREE hidden gems!It’s the perfect place to stop and have a picnic under some shade trees. The walls are built into really kewl steps/benches. There’s a lot of trees and shade. And a few different water pools. Very scenic and great for pictures. If it’s your first time in town this is a must see.

Wonderful place to sight see the unique water attractions and its free. Perfect place for a first date, picnic or just to walk your dogs. I love seeing all the happy people around here. Feels like a glimpse our of the city!

A great little gem in downtown Fort Worth. You might be thinking, its just some water fountains, whats the big idea? Well, spend more than a few mins at each pool. Leave your phone in your pocket, and just enjoy the moment. Its a unique experience, no matter who you are.

The loud one is fun, but the quiet garden is my favorite. It was a nice, tranquil place to relax and talk after a hard week. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs a quiet moment.

One of my favorite places, very relaxing and good location of Fort where you can walk to the downtown and close by stockyards. Kids enjoying running around the fountains (note that the central one is closed these days not sure why).

Refreshing attraction to visit on a hot evening. Huge, elaborate fountain and other water wonders. Would be 5 stars if it had a splash area or interactive feature and a drinking fountain. Good place to take photos. They need to add port o pots for the homeless folks who shower here.

I love all three gardens. There is an interactive 1, great in the day time; a light show one at night; and a tranquil one for whichever time of the day!Please wear slip resistant shoes, you can easily hurt your self if youre not being careful.

Visited on the weekend and the main fountain was not turned on. Not sure if it off due to maintenance or it is just not on over the weekend. Very nice grounds with plenty of places to settle down to get out of the sun. There is not a lot of street parking but there is a parking garage across the street. Prices are posted as you enter the garage. No attendant was present during my visit so credit card was the only payment option.

This was well worth the visit. Id love to have a picnic here. If your downtown go see for your self.

A very good place for walk, photo, water and tree with amazing architect. O love it here and come often. Bring quarter for parking

Water features are always pleasant, soothing and calming and this is no exception. A bit dated of course, but a nice oasis just down from the hotel and convention center.

What a unique and pleasant place to come visit. It has several to choose from all great. I highly recommend taking a look for yourself.

Wonderful place to sight see the unique water attractions and its free. Perfect place for a first date, picnic or just to walk your dogs. I love seeing all the happy people around here.

I could bring me a cushion and lay here and read all day. So peaceful and pleasurable to watch and listen too.

The location and the scenery was lovely however I was disappointed that the water itself was shut off and not doing anything

This public, free space has been a source of joy and peace for as long as I can remember. Spent many days playing hooky as a teenager here, later brought my own children, these days I have the privilege of helping maintain the facility as an independent contractor for the city. Whether for work or for pleasure, every visit gives me great pride in my city.

Walk down loo up get the full experience. But be careful dont get dizzy.

I love this place. Its a relaxing place to sit and think or read or just stop and hang out. Its not very big but its a nice little spot to walk around for a minute or to sit and visit awhile with someone. If youve never been, go check it out!

Its beautiful and unique. Easy to walk around and view all the water installations in one visit. Parking is close by. This is a must for all to see. Children like it too.

Its a relatively small park, but I will always love the beauty and peace of the flowing water here :)

Very pretty waterfall gardens with steps leading you down the center. It got pretty foamy in the middle of the pool and we didnt want to slip as we went farther down. Those steps got pretty slippery, so need to be careful as you go up or down. Nice surround architectural buildings complement the surrounding area.

Amazing place to visit and take beautiful pictures. Pretty dangerous buildings for alone children.

Beautiful place, several teens trying to have a romantic night if your there at night but we enjoyed the walk through.

It was really refreshing and relaxing. My new spot.

I have been visiting the Fort Worth Water Gardens for a good 30 years. On this occasion I a chance to visit after dark. Although, the area was lit, it appeared that none of the fountains were running. In my opinion, this really detracted from what otherwise would have been a beautiful evening walk-through.

Even worth only one water feature going is a really cool place to check out and climb on!

Aside from the extreme Texas summer heat and humidity, this place was awesome to visit. I had seen photos of friends coming here, but didn’t realize how large and deep the water structure is with the steps was until I saw it in person! It was also cool that they had 3 different water places, all very different from each other!This would make a fun date activity! Just make sure to go in the morning before the peak UV rays hit.

Beautiful park for a stroll, water was off on the main fountain, but plenty of other things to see and do

Well...its nice, I guess, but not as nice as my memory (the only other time I was here about 40 years ago). What I remembered most from then is the one fountain thats drained right now.

Very pretty and peaceful... the big fountain wasnt running so I didnt take pictures. But the others were.... For sure a place you should stop by walk around and see

If you have a break while working or visiting downtown Fort Worth, a stop at the water gardens is a must! The oasis of terraced stone pools and water falls provides a peaceful respite in the middle of the city. Bring a lunch or a cup of coffee and watch visitors make their way to the bottom or join in the adventure! Also a great, free option for a family outing or a date night.

Really beautiful. Great place to spend with family. Plenty of room to run and play it sit and think. One of the prettiest places in a city Ive ever been!

Really cool place. Park in the parking garage across the street on Commerce. When we went the main water feature wasnt working or on. So that sucked. But the other two pools were nice and relaxing.

I gave it a 3 star rating only because I checked online and there was nowhere on their web page that indicated the main waterfall attraction was not working. There are three main waterfalls and only 1 was fully functional. The one I took a photo of had half of the sprinklers working and the main one was closed. I was told they would get the main waterfall fixed next week. Would have been nice to know that before we drove 4 hours to view.

It was pretty neat! The park is quiet and although many people come to see the gardens theres a lot of seating to have a picnic or just a quiet place to sit. The active water part of the square gets there most attention. The steps down to the water can be slippery so wear shoes with grip or just be careful. If you are afraid of heights this might be hard as there are no railings and its a big drop from entry level to the ground level. Its loud once you get to the center but its fine. The mountain attracted the drone flying folks. The airrated part was quiet and people were hanging out chatting. I would park on the same side as the Sheraton hotel. Youll need coins for the meters. Its also free and a great place to visit.

Very cool little spot in the middle of Fort Worth. A very surreal take on nature in the middle of an unnatural environment. We stopped here to stretch our legs on a roadtrip and it was a great experience.

Love this square in the middle of downtown Fort Worth, nice place for pictures, when you are there, do not feel you are in the city

Definitely worth stopping by and checking out if youre from out of town! I could see how this might be a dangerous area for someone alone at night. Seems like a lot of street walkers around..

This water garden was a really cool spot located just a few blocks from downtown Fort Worth.The various water displays were really creative and thoughtful in design.Well definitely be back the next time we visit Fort Worth.Writer at ExpertTexan.com

Good pictures. Site see. Water fall. Water steps. Relaxation.

Such an enchanted experience, not sure why I waited so long to go here. It was just magical! We went during the daylight and after dark, both equally important for your experience. Bring food and a book to stay a while, youll be glad you did. Also, the park is larger than expected and sectioned off into several areas to enjoy, each with their own vibe. We will definitely go back and stay longer.

It was truly beautiful, and looks like a great place to go to relax. However, the active pool was drained. There wasnt anything on the site about it being drained. I was pretty disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful place! Great for photos. Nice place for a free date.

I had a good time here with my friend. I think its really cool that a place like this exists in the middle of the city. Honestly it was really peaceful and Id definitely recommend for people to go see it

Beautiful and fun for whole family when it is not crowded - which is the case during these trying times.

Beautiful place to admire, walk around, or just sit and relax at any time of the day (or night)! Love all of the different varieties of water features, though when I was here maintenance was being done on the biggest feature so that was out of order and my schedule was too packed to stay and wait for it to fill back up. Even with the biggest feature being down, this was still a great experience and my family and I had a lot of fun here!

This was my first time experience and it was unforgettable! I was slightly nervous walking with so many water holes,but I eased in the more I walked. It is a beautiful place to go outside to experience nature and the great indoors.

It actually looks really cool, but most of the fountains werent operating when I went there. I dont know if this was because it was the weekend, autumn (but still pretty hot), COVID or they happened to be maintaining them, but it was disappointing after a long drive.

Very beautiful and relaxing park, specially for those who like water.

Really neat place. Very unique and worth stopping by if youre in the area!

I never been to a place like that before. It is really beautiful and built very artistically. I highly recommend to visit at least once. There is nice garden and bike trail next to it.Parking is free after 6p and fills really fast as there is limited space.

Great spot for pictures! Cool idea and you should take the opportunity to see it!

A wonderful garden made on the theme of Water fountains and pools. It has a stepped architecture where water is flowing through steps and people walk over the steps. It looks beautiful. At night time, they turn on the lights which adds beauty to this scenery.Also there is fountain lake where there are multiple fountains watering in synch. It looks awesome to eyes. It also has lighting arrangements.You can spend whole evening here just sitting and looking at the structures. I loved it.

Absolutely beautiful experience. Engineered to perfection. A must see when in or passing through Fort Worth, TX.

You will be surprised. Its the best place to go to free your mind. Lovely place

Must see in Fort Worth area, an amazing oasis of pleasant places to take a moment.

This place is beautiful and peaceful. Id suggest bringing a book, a sketch pad, or lunch and just relaxing for a while. Its beautiful and its quiet but youre only steps away from all kinds of entertainment because its nestled in downtown. Plus its free! Win!

Sweet spot to walk around and chill. Took some sweet pics. Great chill spot

This particular setting to walk down near water fountain was inoperable when we visit. It was a neat experience for the family to see an engagement Live

Fabulous place to visit with the family. It costs nothing to go, though you most likely will have to pay for parking. No wading or swimming allowed so dont bring swimsuits. Be prepared for some climbing though thats avoidable. I highly recommend visiting here.

Flowing water and light looked awesome..

This place is really amazing. The architecture and design of the water flow is tremendous. I will definitely visit again. Water lovers shouldnt miss this place. Loved it!!!!!!!!

The waterfall cascade once was an adorable tourist attraction and now has a dwindling handful of tourists in the midst of the pandemic. The is so much space in the surrounding of the water garden but it is not used enough to create more appealing to tourists.

It was very nice. It was a pretty place to visit. I can imagine it’s a great place to go in the spring and summer!! There were a good number of people but it wasn’t crowded. It’s also awesome that it’s a free activity. We had to pay for parking, but the meter wasn’t expensive. Definitely stop by if you get a chance!

This place has to be one of the most beautiful places I have been to in a long time. It is resetting and quiet. There are 3 different types of water falls and springs. Great for kids of all ages just have to hold the little ones if you are going down the stairs of one of the falls. Great for every occasion. A must see if visiting.

I think it is an amazing place. Not big but sweet and cute. The architect is meticulous and well thought of. Cascading water flow looks amazing. If you are in Fort Worth, it shall be in your list of places to visit.

Still beautiful but the main water fall area is drained and closed off even though it says on line that it is open. The other 2 pools are open as usual

The water shut off right before arriving but it was still an amazing place to visit! Looking forward to seeing it while its running!

The Japanese garden is amazing here, and worth seeing

This is a very cool park to explore on a nice day. Plenty to see.

Sooooooo dissapointed. $6 bucks to park for 39 minutes, the main fountain was off and the other quiet fountain was blocked off for a wedding. If all was working and accessible it would be a good hour spent

Made a delivery for a wedding (Days Kreative Kakes on Facebook & Instagram) and this place was so beautiful! We enjoyed the calming sounds of the water and the people were enjoying themselves as well!

The Fort Worth Water Gardens are such a unique attraction and fun for all ages! We frequently bring out of state guests here and they all love it. There are multiple pools and waterfalls and you can tour at your own pace, spending as much time as you’d like. The architecture is stunning and the gardens are also a must see at night!

It was gorgeous, I was super nervous to slip and fall in it tho . Does anyone know if the water is recycled or reused like it never leaves their facilities? Or if when the water comes out to be seen by the public its all new water everytime?

New experience for me to see such beautiful water garden. I found it as I could spend hours and hours looking over the water flow and enjoy being myself. However, I went with my friends and enjoyed small walk in the trail of water garden, take few pictures and rest looking over the flowing water.

Beautiful place that you can go for a nice stroll/adventure or have a picnic. Fun place to go on a date, with friends, family, or by yourself. Picturesque.It gets a little disorienting when youre walking down to the bottom or walking back up, but its worth it.

What can I say, I was always a fan of Logans Run and these water gardens were featured prominently in the movies third act. Also, very nice place to sit and relax/reflect in the middle of downtown.

Whent in the middle of the night cause a girl said lets go to a park so we went. No water running some homeless people and random teens mind you this os the middle of the night. Know what youre getting youre self into.

The gardens are vast enough to feel like youre experiencing everything with JUST your party, but also invite you to sit in awe and wonder in such close proximity. The four main areas are really interesting to compare to one another, and are so experiential! We loved getting to explore with our out of town family, finding nooks to chat in and views to admire.

Really beautiful and although many people were there social distancing, it still seemed serene and peaceful. The active pool is currently shut down due to covid-19.

This was an nice attraction...would have been better if the main attraction was on the day we visited. We will go again someday

Beautiful day and nice Walk.

Very cool! It was a beautiful morning! Nice and breezy!

Great place for the family! Only costs the metered parking. We put about 2 dollars in and had plenty on time to enjoy the gardens. We had time left on the meter when we left. :) I have been here day and night. They both feel different but still amazing. Explore both times if you can!

This place is stunning! The weather was perfect for our visit, fall was in full bloom and we were in awe of the beautiful changing of the leaves. The grounds were well kept and there were many families enjoying the gorgeous weather and lovely views, 10/10 would recommend!

Words cant express the joy I felt being here for the first time. Its such a gorgeous park with some incredible architectural work. Fort Worth is lucky to have this.

We really enjoy this place. It very easy to social distznce here and enjoy the scenery.

The water was turned off when we showed up on a Tuesday during the pandemic. Its not nearly as pretty without the water. There were a few homeless hanging out and smoking some distinct odored herbs.

I liked the philosophy of the park. You can get close to nature in the middle of the city! Also great place to contemplate.

This place is awesome. Amazing architecture put into this place. Was some trash in the water but no biggy for me. You cant swim in the water anyways.

Its quite beautiful and relaxing. However it is not a very large area and some of the water is not on because of Covid.

I absolutely love this place! Good setting to bring the family, date, or friends. Be careful in the big water exhibit- no guardrails

This place doesnt change. I havent been in years and it still looks the same. Its a fairly small park in Fort Worth that centers around water. Its fun and relaxing. Everyone should see it at least once. Its a Fort Worth icon.

Such a wonderful park! Very neat to see so many biomes right in the middle of the city. Absolutely stunning architecture. The city has done a good job to keep this clean and free of trash, making it an excellent stop for residents or visitors like myself.

Plenty of beautiful space to adhere to social distancing as necessary. Peaceful and tranquil environment. A must while in Fort Worth!
