This place is awesome! We got there just in time to hear the tower go off and it was the BEST THING EVER. The walking path was very scenic full of beautiful flowers and butterflies. There was even this little grass labyrinth! Overall, great time. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was my first time visiting Washington Park. Despite coming to see it in the winter, it was beautiful! I also thought it was so cool to have an indoor botanical garden to be able to see beautiful flowers throughout the year. Bring a penny and two quarters to get to make a botanical garden penny. This is definitely a park I will come back to see every season.

What a cute little park in the heart of Springfield. We stopped by the stretch our legs after a long drive and we’re hoping to hear the bells in the tower. Unfortunately we were there to early in the day, but we did get to hear the on the half hour bells. The flower gardens were beautiful and well maintained for the most part. They did just have a horrible storm come through but had the park cleaned up for the most part.
