The gardens are breathe taking. All year around. You can also go inside they have a gift shop and kravitz deli! They have a botanical library on the main floor angst an art gasket that changes year round. On the bottom level there is a hall for banquets and a little museum about the history of the park.
The wife and I decided to get pregnancy photos for the rest of the family. Were new to this area so we werent sure where to go. The photographer suggest the gardens and it was awesome.The fact that there were at least 4 other groups with the same idea as us should be proof enough, but the entire area is beautiful. Well kept flowers and trees all over the property.There are multiple gazebos and walking paths. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a back drop for any kind of pictures. Or anyone just looking for a quiet place to walk around.
Beautiful gardens and a wonderful place to go and sit and just relax. Part of the fabulous Mill Creek Park. Every kind of plant and flower you can think of, and some you cant. A very well planned conservatory in a beautiful setting.
What we could see of it was cute. There was a wedding going on. It is well kept.
This is proof that there IS a God, and he loves this garden! Ive been away from my beloved Mill Creek Park for over 15 years and went to see The Rose Gardens as we used to called them on Mothers Day.My sons and I spent many afternoons there while they were growing up...many memories sharing the day with great grandma....This year for the very first time my daughter in law got to enjoy the gardens and she loves them.Mill Creek Park is Youngstowns legacy, keep it beautiful.
Scenic views of Mill Creek Park and Downtown Youngstown. Great for family photos.
It is beautiful and spacious with a lot of places to sit and rest, and with great views at lookout points. I love the fountain and all of the pretty spots to take photos.
Fellows Riverside Gardens was absolutely breathtaking over Labor Day weekend in 2020! The roses were in full bloom and the grounds could not have been more beautiful. Its a shame the building is closed to the public but its still worth a visit. I did not notice any bathroom facilities available. I didnt even see a port-a-john. That fact didnt seem to be prominently featured on the website. At any rate, it was a wonderful opportunity for photographs and spending time with family. Plan your trip according to your bathroom needs, however.
This is a beautiful place, unfortunately trees are marked with graffiti. We went late in the season but the roses were still blooming. Will be returning next spring!
It is one of the most beautiful floral gardens I have ever been to. Safe and easy paths to walk and enjoy. Even wheel chairs can maneuver easily through the pathways with little duffaculty. Love the attention paid to every detail.
No matter what time of yeah I visit this place, I always find something new and beautiful. Spring, of course, will bring beautiful flowers. I am accompanied by a 2 year old who loves to explore the grounds with me, and she loves the serenity just as much as I do. There is s cafe we stopped at for lunch this time at the the main visitor area. It was quite upscale, and i was nervous about taking my daughter in. To my surprise the even offered a kids menu and were very accommodating.Photos from very early spring. Most of the flowers were not up yet, but we had a wonderful time anyway. This is the first time we discovered the fairy garden and we are excited to return. Once more flowers have bloomed.
I enjoy spending time walking the gardens, it is enjoyable. It is also a beautiful out door space.
Beautiful place. Have to see it in person
It was just so beautiful!!! I thank you all who take care it! Your community appreciates you
Beautiful gardens and the dahlias were strikingly gorgeous.
It was worth the 1 1/2 hour drive. I cant wait to ge back in the aummer1
A-MAZ-ING Rose Garden! All plants are labeled so beautifully. The walkways are clean and leads you to magificent wonders. This was my first-time visit. I have the National Botanical Garden in my back yard in Washington D.C. This place certainly reminded me of home!!!
Absolutely Beautiful, peaceful and nice to take pictures or have a picnic.
My daughter and son in laws wedding took place in Kidston Pavilion June 21st, 2019 with a reception following in the lower level of the Davis Center. Everything was perfect.
Gorgeous and well maintained. The Rose Garden is the best in the state. Many people get married here and love it.
The most gorgeous place in the area.
We just finished our yearly family photos here. Its gorgeous with all the different flowers and well maintained paths and great views.
Wonderful gardens with plants, flowers and trees of a wide variety of places. Loved this place.
I went late in the season and was highly impressed
This is the very b st Youngstown has to offer. It is just beautiful!
We love visiting these gardens. We did Senior photos for my daughter 6 yrs ago here and 2weeks ago college graduation and family photos. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.
It’s so gorgeous here. I love walking around the gardens with my fiancé and having picnics here. We are getting married in one of their gazebos at the end of summer. I’m really looking forward to it!! It’s the perfect place to have a wedding ️
One of my fav. Places on earth to go visit and always good for my soul.
Nice to get out in the fresh air. Smell of Lilacs and Honeysuckle revitalizing after month in Quarantine. Got to watch Bride walk down the aisle to a new beginning.
Very beautiful.10/10 would reccomend if youre bored or if you wanna take your kids somewhere fun
Such an amazing place to visit! As a photographer its a first choice location for portrait sessions in the Mahoning Valley.
Beautiful place cant wait to stroll the gardens in the spring. . there was a orchid display there such a Beautiful flower all full of colors. We will be back again.
Still the hidden jewel of Youngstown. Captivating views of Lake Glacier and the most fantastic rose garden within a hundred miles. I have photos from every season and they never fail to impress.
Its a beautiful peaceful place to walk around and enjoy the nature around you
Always clean and beautifully well groomed and taken care of.. Excellent photo pics anywhere here
Awesome location scenery is beautiful very calm location with police for your safety if needed my sister in law got married in the rose garden in 2017..I like to go to see our lords creations and beauty of the flowers
Relaxing and beautiful. Always fun to watch the children run through the field. Nice that they label most of the plants.
Located right in Millcreek Park and is easy to find. Fellows Riverside Gardens is an amazing place to visit for a multitude of reasons, for starters its a beautiful place to see, they have flowers, trees, bushes and herbs planted in their sprawling extraordinary manicured landscaped grounds, they have sitting areas to relax & meditate while soaking in this breathtaking view, a large garden that spans many acres of property, they have trails to walk and numerous statues to see, theres also a learning center there to visit as well. So, if you find yourself in desperate need of some chill in your busy life or a romantic place to take a first, second or third or more date to, hopefully to catch a perfect moment to get that first kiss, or to take your spouse to for your 50th wedding anniversary, Fellows Riverside Garden is the place to go.
The gardens have a beautiful garden of old fashioned roses. The trails are very unique and peaceful to walk through. Just wonderful for pictures and relaxing
My favorite place in the entire world. First class.
The FRG is a beautiful peaceful place. I love taking my kids here so they can learn about the different plants and learn how to recognize trees and flowers when we go on our nature walks. These are photos my 8 year old took on our last visit.
Its such a beautiful place! The views and backdrops are outstanding! They have really cute set ups for seasonal photos too. We really enjoyed our time taking pictures of our niece in her homecoming dress and then walking around the gardens.
Gem of Youngstown. Well taken care of and a great place for events and weddings.
Beautiful place. Youngstown hidden in plain sight.. It is definitely a gem
A great place to go for a walk. They take amazing care of the plants and area.
Beautiful place to visit to take photos or to unplug and just take in the natural beauty. Late spring would be the best time to visit youll find a variety of roses, tulips to rhododendron and boxwood. For the best view of lake Newport use the main entrance make a right at the fountain bow down to the gazebo and use the provided binoculars for a couple coins and try to spot a deer!
Beautiful, tranquil and calm. Plenty to see,and just a peaceful place to visit in this whirlwind of the daily grind.
Always such a peaceful walk to take. There are plenty of trails for that hidden walker and open space to roam in for the wanderer.
If you love gardens this one tops the cake. It has a bit of everything for everyone from a formal rose garden to wide open yard area gardens to hardscapes including a gazebo, metal sculpture garden and more, to wooded nature trails paved with wood chips to guide your way, to perennial and annual sun and shade gardens... too much to describe, this is situated at the north end of Mill Creek Park by Glacier Lake and offers stunning vista overlook views. I walked this garden for 3 hours and still wanted more time. Even on a mostly cloudy and rainy day this place was wonderful. You’ll experience a fantastic tree that is full of history... walk underneath the flora and see what I mean! Do. Not. Skip!!
Well maintained park. Always changing things up with the seasons.
Beautiful place for weddings, and other events.
Beautiful garden.
Its always nice to get out and enjoy the area. Great for pictures, or just to chill
Wonderful day for walking the grounds. Enjoyed the beautiful flowers, trees, paths, exhibits.
The Roses are in full bloom. Beautiful flowers everywhere. A must see
A most beautiful and delightful garden and park. Serene, peaceful and so pristine.
Beautiful like always
Beautifully manicured still plenty to see with flowers fading
Super nice place to visit i love it here.
I love coming here its so beautiful I would love to get married here if they do tht
Gorgeous area. Very nice
Had a photo shoot for the kiddos. Beautiful!
Love this place. Take my boys every year to make their wishes in the fountain at the start of summer and right before school starts. Pretty flowers. My favorite tree in the world (massive weeping willow). Very calming. A gem of Millcreek Metroparks!
Remarkably beautiful green space in an otherwise unremarkable city.
Love it so beautiful there and my brother is getting married there tomorrow so excited
What an absolutely adorable place! My husband took my son and I to lunch today on work break and it was so nice. Food was delicious, spectacular view, and the staff were very friendly. They were also setting up and decorating for Christmas. The decorations and the Library are just lovely! I recommend the Rueben for lunch! Delicious! So nice when a small place like this offers a childs menu! Major plus when you have children!
Beautyful
Very nice and well kept. Many beautiful plants, flowers, etc.
My daughter took her wedding pictures at the garden. It was beautiful background for her photos.
Beautiful place for wedding, photography, and other events
It is a beautiful Park and very large, whats super place for the family
Beautiful place to go for a walk. The gardens are very well groomed
Beautiful! Must see park
A lovely gem tucked into Youngstown. Its free to walk around the gardens, we spent almost two hours exploring when we took the children on a spontaneous visit after attending a family event in the area. Theres also a nice gift shop and photography gallery inside. One suggestion is to avoid the gardens on Saturdays in the summer, if you want a more private and quieter visit, there were three weddings there the day we visited so trying to avoid the areas they were taking photographs was not an ideal situation. Other than that it was perfect.
Having worked for forty years exclusively in New York, with business trips to Geneva, Switzerland, or elsewhere in Europe, I have had no opportunity to visit the U.S. Now that my parents have retired in the environ of Youngstown, Ohio, I am delighted to discover new places, such as, for instance, these sprawling unique and delightful botanical gardens, with their hidden herb gardens, the out of the way bodies of water, the endless ( by New Yorks Central Park measurements standard ), a perfect place to bring and read an actual book - with kindle, and the phone left behind in the car.The Persians coined paradaisos, and these gardens tend to bring the concept of garden-paradise into existence.
Beautiful gardens that are currently decorated for halloween
Absolutely loved my experience yesterday!! All of the displays, from the recycled Christmas woodland scenes to the vast and diversified decorated Christmas trees and the lighted indoor and outdoor displays were creative, bright, beautiful and completed the holiday spirit! How fortunate the two bridal parties, there for wedding pictures, were, to have great weather and beautiful surroundings! ️️
Beautiful garden all year round.
This is a jewel of Youngstown. Always a joy to visit
Absolutely Beautiful! No charge to visit and walk the grounds.
Beautiful place. Great for photos, or just enjoying the day.
I love this place
Very well kept. Beautiful venue for any kind of photos. Has sufficient parking, restrooms, and police presence.
Gorgeous spot and was visiting from Washington DC with my family.
Gorgeous!We love coming here. Its like a little oasis of beauty and nature in the middle of YGN. It doesnt matter what time of year you check it out- there is always something to see.
Amazing and huge Alice and Wonderland like garden. Loved this place!
Very nice place to walk and enjoy the day
Just beautiful. Great variety of flowers. They have some great events like the pumpkin walk and winter nights.
Great place to visit. Always well groomed and lovely.
I wish I could go here after single day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The vernal beauty of Riverside Gardens in the warm months of the year is beyond words impressive. The staff is courteous and very friendly. They keep this place in tip top shape! ...and they also do yoga, mediations, etc there under the pavilion. I am going to sign up for a class after visiting the gardens today. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Ryan from Ohio
Beautiful! Also had clean bathrooms.
Its pretty but had a weird smell
Beautiful park and gardens. The lawn is like deep pike carpet!
A must see if visiting Youngstown. The grounds, though small at Fellows Riverside Gardens, are well maintained. Beautiful views of the city and Mill Creek Park. Childrens area and activities (see calendar) are available; lunch at café with outdoor seating; library; art displays (which rotate), look out tower, and gift shop.
Loved its scenic views
This is a beautiful place. The gardens are awesome, the cafe is tasty and the menu different. There is a fun little gift shop and a small but nice art museum
