Cleveland Cultural Gardens

The gardens are one of my favorite places in Cleveland. It pains me to give them four instead of five stars. That is because they are so under utilized and unknown. There are greater Cleveland residents who don’t even know about them. In any other major American city, something this engaging and diverse would be world-famous. Cleveland has such a variety of ethnicities, and so many rightfully proud of those heritages these gardens are like “It’s a small world” but not annoying. As a Clevelander I wish we could do more with this cool concept, but even as it stands it’s something to visit at every opportunity.

This place is an amazing scenery throughout the seasons. I personally love Fall. It’s a nice area for a quick drive or walk. In the spring, the flowers are bloomed and the landscape is well maintained. It would be an ideal place for a family photo shoot.

Some of the Cultural locations still in the building face, also traffic around the park is a bit heavy when there is events. And parking it's a nightmare. Overall they are doing a great job. I have attended the Italian outdoor Opera, the Colombian Independence day celebration and the Russian Celebration at each of their respected locations within the Gardens. I highly recommend attending some of this events, culturally you will love it! Restrooms are a bit hard to find 😕

It's one of my favorite parks in the city. I walked around for almost two hours with my son and we still didn't see everything. Some of the gardens have plaques and/or statues and sculptures, and you can really learn a lot there.

Was here for the all day party that is One World Day. A beautiful slice of greenery on a usually incrediblely busy thoroughfare that was shut down for the festivities. This is always a surprisingly serene place with trees, fountains & peeks at various cultures represented by the individual gardens. I love love love coming here just to wander.
