The Water Gardens is very relaxable place to chill around while the water move for a quiet clam streaming sound, while you look around. Philip Johnson and John Burgee did such an amazing job on these architectures pools, especially the mountain itself. I recommend going and exploring all round this part. Make sure you park responsibly, to make sure to see this wonderful place.

An awesome experience! This is basically a giant work of art, and it's beautiful and makes you feel a lot of different things! I definitely recommend reading the brief plaques about the philosophy and design of each section, as they will give you an appreciation of what you're experiencing. All the different sections give you a different experience, and I would highly recommend going to each one and focusing on the way it makes you feel each time, and comparing them. It must be a beast to maintain, so I'd recommend going while you can because there is a chance it won't exist in the future, or will be defunct. I would highly recommend this. I've done a cross country road trip before and seen a lot of cool places, and I can easily say that this would be somewhere worth a stop, and navigating to if you're within a few hours of it.

It's a quiet and relaxing park. It's somewhat unique, being mostly large concrete structures with various water features. We've stopped here a few times now when visiting the DFW area (we find Ft. Worth to be a less stressful city than Dallas). A nice way to spend a couple of hours cooling off and relaxing.

The Fort Worth Water Gardens is one of the coolest attractions in the city and a must-visit for both locals and visitors. The unique architecture and beautiful water features create an incredible experience that's fun for all ages. It's a great place to bring the family, take photos, and enjoy some time outdoors. The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown Fort Worth, making it easy to add to a day of exploring the city. Every visit has been enjoyable, and it's one of those places that makes Fort Worth special. Highly recommend checking it out!

I love it here! Its the most noisy and peaceful place all at the same time! When youre down in amongst the water youd never know you were in the heart of Fort Worth. Its well worth a visit, its free, and if you drive to it at the weekend or in the evenings you dont need to pay for parking either (which theres plenty available of on the surrounding streets) Id highly recommend seeing the gardens in both daytime AND nighttime. This last visit was daytime but its pretty special in the evening!

Wow I’m so disappointed! I would come to the gardens when I was a child . I. Brought my children to visit and let me say WOW . It was nasty, the water had trash and slime in it . The steps going down were slimy and slippery. I hope the city will put some money into fixing this area back to how it used to be .

Wonderful place to visit. Free except for the parking. We have come many times and looked forward to it. We've even taken a picnic lunch.

The first time I visited this place everything was beautiful and working. Today I returned with my husband since we are on vacation, so he could enjoy the place but to my surprise only the big fountain was on and one side was off. It is a beautiful park but it needs urgent maintenance. And we came from Freeport Texas

My bf and I loved loved this place. Loved going down the steps into the big water one, and climbing the mountain. We loved it so much we went 4 times before we left. Can't wait to come back again, but bring my little with me! Very peaceful for being right in the middle of a city.

Interesting place in middle of fortworth downtown… slight untidy but good place to relax a bit. Parking is not onsite.. you have to park it on the main road… lots of parking though. Free after 6pm and weekends. 3 variety pools… good for taking pictures

Super location. Multiple different water features to view, along with the one used in "Logan's Run". A nice quiet spot to sit and people watch on a Sunday morning. Please be careful on the steps if you walk down them, as one or two are slippery.

This place is beautiful!!!!! Definitely worth the visit and to take photos! The sound of the rushing water is so peaceful and relaxing. There’s even a quiet pool!! You do have to meter park to visit. I brought a wagon and there wasn’t a lot of ramps. There’s a lot of stairs so parts of the gardens we were unable to see but even with that it was well worth the visit!

The beautiful Fort Worth Water Gardens are a refreshing oasis located at the south of downtown by the Fort Worth Convention Center. Parking isn’t too much of a hassle but most visitors park at the meters on the sides of the street of Houston and Commerce. There’s no admission fee, it’s open to the public. This relaxing urban park encourages quiet meditation and tranquility, which also makes it a favorite tourist attraction. It features a variety of water pools for visitors to experience and enjoy any time of the year. You can also make reservations to rent out a particular area of the park for special events. What I love about this place is that it’s therapeutic for the mind and body. Sometimes we just need a breath of fresh air where we can feel at peace and not have to worry. I desire a peaceful environment so this is one of my favorite places to visit no matter how I’m feeling. In the evening time, the lights in the park illuminate the experience to another level. If you just so happen to be in Fort Worth, visiting the park is a place to create memorable experiences and spend quality time by yourself or with family and friends.
