Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens - Things To Do (U.S. National Park Service)

Natural mysteries, challenge, discovery, a flower opens, a leaf falls, ice cracks, a never before experienced day begins. They are here waiting for you each day, changing with a natural pace of tides and seasons.

It is no wonder this tranquil site is a place for yoga and tai chi practices, or where parents bring their youngsters to find a common bond with nature. Life moves seasonally and won't be hurried or delayed. Winter brings wildlife sightings. Spring sings with bird song and wild violets. Summer water gardens scent the air. Fall enchants with color and texture of ripening marsh seeds.

Unwind your imagination to find your own special memories in the ever changing nature of the park.

Winter is the best time to see wildlife. Leaves are off the trees and shy animals are easier to find.

Late summer and early fall are the only times to see the huge Victoria water lilies.

In spring, expect to find violets and bird song.
