Great nature themed playground for the kids. Awesome climbers and such. And, they are taking exceptional care to spray everything down after every session, track whos there for each session, and generally just keep people safe. The one sad thing is that its fall, and too cold for the water elements. Its still worth the money. The kids love this place

The playground is amazing, the kids loved it. But just like everyone has mentioned, theres a $2 fee for everyone for only 1 hour. And lets say the playground was sanitized and ready for guests at 10am and you came at 10:30, then you will pay entrance fee for only half an hour. Not worth it. Kids take half an hour just to look around when theyre at a new park. At least, my kids do. So an hour was absolutely not enough for them. I dont blame them though. As they have to clean and sanitize the place every hour.

This is a wonderful place to take your children. They are currently limiting it to 50 people at a time, one hour at a time, so there is plenty of space to run and not be on top of others.I took my 2 year old, and he was challenged by some of the features, but by the end of our adventure, he was climbing and doing everything on his own. We will definitely be making this a weekly visit!

This was our first time here but it surpassed any expectations I had. My boys, 4 and 2, loved it and there were plenty of activities for both. Next time I will be sure to bring a towel and change of clothes because they loved the water features so much. The trails were also beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Awesome place for small kids... Lots of stuff to do. Worth the $2 admission. Lots of parking and trails for a hike

Great playground for the kids and nice trails around it. Be aware can get very busy. Currently they are letting people in in hourly time frames, closing for a half hour in between to clean the playground. They are also charging two dollars a person, adult or child to keep numbers low and pay for the cleaning. They do take cash, credit, apple pay, and Google pay.

Non residents cant register for a time slot. Also, since you are paying a fee, you should arrive at the start of the entrance time because you only get one hour (no re entry after they clean). Its a fun park, but probably not worth it right now.

Such a great place for the little humans to run around and play. Not everyone wore a mask which makes it a little uncomfortable if youre little is outgoing and makes friends easily. Water sections within kids area is not filled due to the virus. Great time anyway!

I was excited to take my kids there. That was a mistake. They’ve changed the entrance and added a 2$ fee per person. Isn’t this park paid for by the taxes we paid?Not to mention it’s one hour visit and you must pre register, and pre book online.We arrived twenty minutes before the hour but there was no cleaning or sanitizing happening. There was a long line and no one observing social distancing guidelines. Just don’t make sense. None of it. Really unfortunate to see this happening to a park.

Charge for kids 1 year too. That look crazy. Better be if will be the ticket 10 per old person but kids alway free.

Wonderful park, playground, and nature center! We love it! We visit almost all year round. It must have developed by experts in early childhood education. It has great slides and places to climb for kids of a variety of ages. Lots of interesting activities including water, sand, music art and nature education. You might want to dress kids in swimsuits or bring a change of clothes in warm weather. Beautiful trails to walk on. It can get very crowded and the parking lot will fill up quickly. There are bathrooms but there is a walk to reach them. It connected to the Heritage farm which is also worth visiting.

The personnel were so friendly and nice. We had a wonderful time!!!

Really enjoyed the trail. Since the covid is still rampant, only the trails were open. I believe the full trail is around 3 miles. Theres a huge play area, which unfortunately is still closed, but honestly even as a 32 year old, still looks super fun. The trails are gorgeous, youll run into a huge pond with little benches, and eventually theres a cabin and little farm. Overall, its a great way to spend several hours walking around and being in nature

Why the HELL are you charging for a public park!? Occupancy limits, fine, registration for time slots, okay. But there is no way I will pay to use a park that my taxes already pay for. Stop taking advantage of the current situation

Kids had fun! they sanitize the park every hour. unfortunately the water is off but the kids still had a great time!

Great park and trails to walk. They do charge now to play which is understandable bc they sanitize the area after so long.

Turned away my 2 year old and family because of capacity when the park was pretty much empty. Cool. Thanks for upsetting my son for no legitimate reason.

A place to encourage kids to be kids!? This is one of the last remaining national treasures that teaches children to explore, get dirty(in moderation), and get outside to play. As a helicopter parent myself I quickly found excuses why I didnt want to take them. Im glad we took a leap of faith and were able to see this! My kids were running, jumping, touching, falling, and most importantly... Laughing! The kids loved it, and we were watchful eagle eyed parents, but the confidence the kids had from this just had us puzzled. Weve been back 10+ times since and we live almost 45 minutes away!

This is NOT a traditional playground! There are no swings or monkey bars, or most traditional playground equipment. They do have a few slides. This playground is all about nature. It has a lot of water, sand and rocks. Your kids will get very wet! Bring extra socks, shoes, and clothes or even a swimsuit. I did not know this before I went and I honestly wish that I did, it would have saved me a huge headache!Overall it’s a nice place! I do recommend checking it out at least one time. It’s very different and encourages creative play. However, you must go when it’s very warm because it really involves water play.

Everything is look not bad. But Why he charge for 1 year kids too. Crazy!

Pretty little park with some trails and a cute little playground area. Needs a little upkeep but the area itself felt rather calming and a good number of pokestops, if you care about that sort of thing.

Have kids? Go! Amazing play area. Nature trail for hiking that has well marked paths of different lengths.

Amazing playground in great location. Spend the day exploring with the family.

It used to be my favorite park. Now you have to pay $2/person, and kids allowed to play only for 1 hour. No water river, no waterfall, no water to play with sand — I came with my two toddlers to play with sand and water — it’s just disappointing. Never come back under current rules.

Amazing park with so much for kids to do. Entire area is themed around prairie life and animals that would call this area home. Sight lines are good and entire play space is fenced in. Multiple levels of play areas with a music instrument section, picnic area, and sand area included. Missing a more tot friendly area but there is still things for them. Attention to details here are amazing. During warm weather water runs through a stream in the park for fun with water dynamics and dam building. If you can, you should plan a fun day for the kids!

Fantastic place to spend an afternoon with the family!We released Monarch butterflies one afternoon, what an awesome experience!The playground had something for kids of every age. The lazy river is perfect for toddlers and big kids alike. The climbing and play area is challenging and creatively built.The walking path is enjoyable for all, with play areas asking the was that encourage imaginative play.Take a picnic and plan to stay for the whole day! You wont be disappointed!

Good place for kids at play area and beautiful park/forest area for people. Love to go there with my children.

This places will rock and wet your kids socks off! Literally, my kids were soaked from head to toe, so bring back up clothing! From the huge island of rocky water to the climbing tower of ropes, all was awesome! I do want to put out a helicopter parent and grandparent alert, though! Thank you to the taxpayers of Schaumburg that put this park in for all to enjoy! Great job to the designers.

Newly created wonderful playground for little children. Our grandchildren enjoyed very much this park last year and year before.

Our family loves this place. Truly magical for kids and so peaceful for adults. My kid loves everything about it and never gets bored!

Good place BUT I CANT UNDERSTAND WHI THEY CHARGE MY NEWBORN BABY !!!????

Still a fun place for the kids. Covid precautions taken. Heads up, due to Covid there is a $2/person charge

We had such a great time in this park. I think all parks should be like this one

Love this beautiful park and nature center, my daughter loves the playground and trails too.

The park district should be ashamed. Charging for playing on a playground now? Not only do they charge money, they limit the time to play to an hour.

Great place for kids. Enjoy the outdoors for a bit.

Why in the hell are you charging for a public park? That is ridiculous. This used to be our favorite park and now I will never ever come back. Shame on you for taking advantage of our current situation going on in the world!!!!

Playground entrance fee is $2 per person adult or/and child. You are allowed for 1 hour. Water feature is closed Little River inside the playground is dry as well so basically nothing to do for a toddler.Hiking the trail is the only option now.

A wonderful place for children to play and experience nature. There are many events and community is wonderful. Best of all its free so go there now

Great place for kids to explore at their own pace. Plenty of challenging obstacles and physical activities to navigate.

My boys enjoy playing here. Its always a pleasurable time here.

Awesome park! I love how its nature based and allows kids to explore the outdoors with safe limits.

Bisons Bluff is a beautiful park, nature center and playground. The playground has many different climbing options for kids of different ages and small man-made stream that the kids can play in.

Nice place for kids,very clean and safe for kids.

Because charge for small kids too, 1 star. Better be is will charge expensive but kids free!

Amazing park, my daughters love it.

Lovely place great playground and lots of good photos

Great place to take kids and learn about nature. They also had a maple tapping festival going on. Free parking.

Kids had a blast exploring, jumping around and playing in the water!

Our daughter is a bit young for most of the playground equipment but she had a blast running around and playing in the water. The park is very well kept, lots of room to run around and all the kids we saw there looked like they were having so much fun as well.For Pokemon Go players, there are TONS of stops and several gyms at this park. Will come back the next time we are in the area.

Best natural play park weve been to

This place is great for all ages and any outdoor-loving kid will enjoy it (and maybe some kids who dont like outside as well). So many cool things to do!

Great place for a walk cam spot turtles, frogs, birds and insects

Awesome park for the kids. Only thing is that adults need four eyes to watch for their children, very crowded place. Kids of all ages will enjoy.

This is lots of fun for the kids to play at. There is a climbing area, some small slides, instruments, a sand area (with water), and a small stream the kids can play in. Recommended to bring bathing suits, or at least a change of clothes. There is a bunch of space for adults to sit, only a few chairs, a bunch of benches, rocks, or grass. If it sunny you my want to bring an umbrella for shade. There are also paths to walk on in the area. Plan a few hours for a trip here, the kids LOVE IT!!

This is a great place for kids. There is a wide variety of activities and equipment for the children to play on. There is also an area with picnic benches.

Great place to take the kids. Not just a playground, but a real experience for the kids. Loads of fun

They closed down the park every hour to clean and sanitize the area

Kids love it. For all ages to explore nature. Good walk. Adult must supervise children . ponds nearby. Family friendly. Pack a lunch too

Awesome playground with incredible interactive play structures for visitors of all ages. The nature center is incredible also. The entire experience is free, highly interactive, and volunteer driven with multiple events throughout the year. There also multiple tips for how to help your children interact with the play structures and activities posted throughout the park. Overall, a great way to spend lovely summer afternoons with the family!

Such a cool park

Super place for children to run and climb and use up some of their energy. There are also trails to use and take a nature walk and a small farm. You can even bring your lunch and picnic on the grounds. A great play and learning place for all ages, but mainly children.

We had a great time at Bison Bluffs. I do think my little guy who was almost two was a little young for the place. When we got there it was great but it got over crowded as the day went on. I recommend getting there early before the camps get there.

They have good trails and the place was safe for kids. You can have a picnic here too. A built in water feature was cool.

My 4 yr old had so much fun! Great use of nature, excellent idea for a park! She loves the sand and water area. Grassy shaded area for parents. Many paths, a picnic area, could spend many hours here!

Great place to take the kids. Very different, not the run of the mill park. Very cool. Will be taking my kids there again.

Good place to bring family and kids. Good playground with plenty of options for kids to play. The pond was dirty. Nice trails around the place. Definitely a place I will like to visit again. Spent 2-3 hours there

Nice place to spend 2-4 hours with your kids - Id say 11 years old and younger. Imaginative playground and water stream with sand play areas. Leave you picnic cooler in the your car and fetch when the gang works up an appetite. The Nature Center is right there and the affiliated historical farm is a 3 minute car ride.

Fun climbing park! Some cool themed areas, like a music area for kids to hit tubes and make notes. It has a little rock creek that kids can play in. Water shoes (not crocs, too slippery) recommended. Just be aware if other parents are watching their kids (or on their phones). We experienced other kids actually throwing really big rocks right near us several times and had to be the parents and say something.

I love this playground, its cute, there are areas of shade to sit down and oh, there are a variety of structures and objects for children to engage with oh, its just that its on this giant Nature Preserve that is not shaded and the sun bears down on you there directly. Everywhere else there feels wonderful, except for over by the pond. Other than that its great.

Beautiful walking track and great playground and more! Small farm to meet and pet cows and horses, see chickens, and see pigs! Also indoor activities of games, puzzles, and trivia for kids to learn about nature and animals. Highly recommend and best part it is FREE!

I liked it was not too bad but it is a but small for all the people there good thing there is a nature walk with it with an awesome farm

Excellent and fun playground. I highly recommend. The built in water feature is am added bonus. My kids had so much fun running around, they never wanted to stop. Theu were so sad when we had to leave. We will definitely be going back.

If you live somewhat close to this park, take the kids or grandkids. The play area is well designed for the kids to climb and run and jump. I even played the pipes with a handicap boy, who loved banging those musical pipes. When you’re done there, walk over to the main building and enjoy the many stuffed animals that are from this area as well as numerous other displays.Spend an hour or spend a day hiking three the woods and many paths. Have a picnic, while watching the wildlife walking through. It’s a good place to find peace and quiet along with nature.If this was helpful please click on “like”

Great for nature lovers!

My wife and I took our 6 year old granddaughter here today and I cant say enough about it. From the very unique play area that can occupy kids for hours to the trails and the nature center you can spend an entire day here. We had so much fun. I highly recommend taking your kids here. We didnt have time to visit the farm but will do so when we return.

Great, unique park that allows kids to explore and appreciate nature! My kids love the sand, water, and slides. Such a fun place! We even got to help release butterflies!

Nice and large playground.

Great place for the little ones

Good nature walk. No bathrooms!

This is a great place to visit with young children. The playground has a natural theme with a stream running down the middle for water play and other open-ended activities, such as weaving, climbing, and looking at flowers. The visitor center has clean bathrooms and a water fountain. Definitely worth a visit!

Probably the best park (if you can call it that) that Ive visited in my life, and with my kids. Everyone thats come there with us says the same thing. Tons of things for kids to interact with, including a really cool creek that runs through it, which kids can play in. We also had a birthday party here and in the field house nearby, which was excellent.

This place is great! My 4 year old was entertained for hours and my 16 month old loved running around and exploring.Keep in mind that the sand and water areas are very messy, so dress accordingly!

You have to pay 2$ fee to access the playground. And there are 1-hour sessions.

Sad that you have to pay an admission to a park. Not worth it

This place is awesome. We stopped as a halfway point on a long trip and the kids loved it and got all their energy out. Be prepared with a change of clothes for the young ones.

Very clean and well kept atmosphere for kids...kudos to management

Awesome park. Cant wait to get the kids back.

Fun place for kids to play!!! Adults can take long walk thru the woods.

Nice long walking trails for adults, fun and creative play for kids. We enjoyed our time there.

Great playground for all kids up to teens. A little stream that the kids can play in so bring a towel or extra clothes. They always get into the water play areas

Such a wonderful place! Kids had so much to do and see. Bathrooms are clean, and we found a spot for a yummy picnic!

THE MOST AMAZING PLAYGROUND!!!.... had a little river, some sand to play in, many slides, wooden features to climb up and play in, musical instruments, etc. Truly a gem!!! Its always hard to get the kids to leave when we come!

Great playground, and it’s free. So much fun things for the kids. A bathroom would be awesome and water fountain. Free parking too

Great place to be outdoors with kids. A bit crowded at the play area on nice days. The learning and musical activities are a nice touch, but seem to be less popular with the kids. Use the bathrooms before you reach the play area. Bring snacks and you can spend a few hours at the play area and walking the paths.

Great place! Non-traditional, no swings, lots of physical activities!

We love coming here. The way this park is set up does have a lot to offer for the kids.

Love this park! Great for exploring with the little ones

Really cool park. Lots of different things for kids to climb on. It appeals to all ages of kids. Free to the public.

This nature playground is absolutely adorable!! They have a variety of activities to help kids get in touch with nature, including a Creek with rocks for them to wade in, a sand play area, a large climbing structure made to look like rocks and a bison, etc. The day we came, it seemed like every kid in a 50 mile radius must have been present - it was to the point where I almost considered just leaving. Im so glad I didnt! Despite the massive amount of kids that were present, there was more than enough for everyone to do, and my kids were able to play at their leisure with no wait times for anything. Other kids were all polite and were taking turns etc. Without parent intervention. There is a little library with books you can take on your way in and out. It also had a nice mix of sunny and shady areas.
