Plan Your Visit

Open Year Round


Closed just 3 days out the year, Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens welcomes visitors throughout the year. You can bundle up and walk the trails for winter birding, you can see the park come to life in spring as robins return, you can see our famous lotus flowers bloom before closing up during mid day heat (late June-July), and you can, of course, come during fall to enjoy the crisp cool air and vibrant leaves as you picnic. Regardless of what you're in the mood for, there is an ever changing pallet of activities for ALL throughout the year.
