Always a great place to visit. The trails are beautiful and well maintained. Very important, this park has real flushing bathrooms that are OPEN! If you have hikers that demand real facilities or young kids this is a big deal!! We always enjoy the beautiful herb gardens and ponds as well. Definitely a beautiful park.

If youre going to come here, I recommend coming late to really see what they have to offer! The night hikes are great, and the hundreds of tree frogs are mesmerizing! Theres a lot of great studying, reading, drawing, or whatever kind of hobby you like areas! I love coming here to draw. The baby bunnies and deer are so cute, and its a good place to teach kids that nature doesnt have to be scary! I havent personally been in the nature center, but it seems cool! Theres so called chickadee feeding, but I havent done it. Overall, a great place.

This one of Akron and Summit Countys greatest hidden gems. If you ever drive in or around the city, you would probably have no idea something like this exists here. The Nature Realm is just an absolutely beautiful place. You can immerse yourself in nature while getting plenty of exercise. Or you could even sit down and read and just listen to the serene sounds of the wildlife, or even have a picnic in the designated areas. When the visitors center is open, there are plenty of educational exhibits to view. Its a great educational experience for children as well. But all in all, its just a fantastic place to unwind. And its free to boot!

Amazing park!Large. Wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of modernity. I went earlier in the day and the coolness was still in the valley. Did not pay adequate attention to the direction of travel and it was exciting to feel lost in an area I grew up in!Loved it!!

Super nice, well-kept cement paths in addition to more rugged trails in the back. One of our go-to spots with my wife being pregnant right now, no worries about her falling.

I wouldve liked it more if COVID didnt shut down the visitors center or if the heat and lack of rain didnt lead to a massive algae bloom but, the trails are well kept and clean and there were scenic areas overlooking the sickly green algae pond and a nice herb garden too.Not out this way much but would like to take the kids here sometime

This is the most beautiful place to walk. It really reminds me of trails Id hike in back woods as a kid in some places and yet very well maintained, statues, and a nature center as well. Lovely water gardens, bridges, and nature center.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Love coming here with my friend to just walk or with my daughter to sit and watch nature and talk.

One of my familys favorite parks to hike. The Nature Center is really cool and interactive for the kids. There are a bunch of trails to hike and so many other cool things. Huge outdoor herb garden, suspension bridge over a gorge, a bunch of ponds and water features. Always have fun.

The Seiberling Nature Realm is the very best park destination in Akron! Convenient, beautiful and very safe! Please dont miss this flawless gem. Trails are clearly marked. Follow the Cherry Trail down to a hidden suspension bridge tucked away in a magnificent section of Akrons most stunning landscape! Breathtaking ️This is why I love Akron!!

Beautiful park. A must see with a medium skill hiking trail.

This park is a great go to for birding. The herb garden is a fav for a nice rest after wandering trails. Staff does such an amazing job.

Great place for a moderate family walk! My 3 year old wore himself out and it wasnt too hard for me. To be honest I havent been walking a lot since corona but I really enjoyed it and didnt die haha

Easy trails. A lot of beautiful fall flowers. Interesting displays. A good place to collect your thoughts on less busy days.

Beautiful. We are blessed to have this beautiful place to enjoy. You can witness Gods majesty here!

One of my favourite summit metroparks for sure! Just beautiful and so much wildlife and nature surrounding you! A must visit! This time we saw a friendly raccoon! Apparently hes so used to humans he will happily eat out of your hand!

A great place for hiking or looking at flowers/herbs. Beautiful landscaping in the gardens, as well. The trails are easy to follow and are marked with their difficulty. The hiking trails are long and really give you a work out, if you take the harder ones. Following the downloadable map off the website it easy, too.

Its one of the best parks to spend time with my family...

Such a beautiful place to be any time of year, but its definitely better when everything is bloomed. The wildlife is amazing, and the gardens are even better. I also found the greenhouse made of plastic bottles such a great way to grow things with use of garbage that would take way too long to disintegrate in a landfill. Just be careful if its a hot day and bring plenty of water for the trails, because you can easily get dehydrated with the amount of sun exposure the area gets.

Very beautiful and well used Realm. Park employees working on blowing leaves off the trails while we were there.

Not many people walking.very picturesque and pleasant. Trees , vegetation absolutely beautiful. Saw some trees Ive never seen in various places.

Really great place for a small walk/hike. Its clean and well kept and we saw alot of wildlife while we were there! I would definitely recommend going here.

The Nature Realm is a nice place for some casual short walks. It also connects into sand run for a longer hike which I did not know until this last time going. Its very beautiful. Unfortunately you cannot bring dogs which is a downer if you wanna walk your pup but can be great for those who dont wanna worry about animals coming up to them to sniff. The chipmunks and squirrels are pretty bold and wont run away even being 2 feet away. Most trails are stroller/wheelchair friendly. There are also several gravel trails which mark the more lengthy hikes. If you are interested, there is also plenty of pokestops and gyms throughout the park. Its a pretty common place in the area to go for community days.

I walked three trails in this park, with one being moderately hard and two easy. For me, a beginner hiker, it was perfect.

Outstanding strolling spot ! Not necessary to hike rugged terrain here, beauty is a nearby path & wide walkway , with great views only a few minutes from parking area. Nice place for limited walkers. Everyone can enjoy this area - take a longer walk if you wish , as longer paths are great views too !

Great hike, did the Seneca to finish up my 2020 Hiking Spree! Woot Woot. 5 years under my belt now

So pretty and peaceful here! The nature center and the deck overlooking the water is my favorite.

Wonderful. Great trails. Nice vatiety of plants. Good to get out and stretch your legs.

Beginner walker the trails marked as easy were hilly. There are blacktop paths and dirt paths. I cant wait to go back. I tried it because my wife got a metroparks walking pamphlet. If you finish it you get a lanyard and a pin.

Nice park with good trails, but unlike other Summit County Metro Parks, this one does not allow pets.

THIS is the place for your moment of Zen. This park (founded in 1964) is just outside and much older than the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I would encourage to visit their website for childrens related activities.For me, the park offers a relaxing among within the trees and shrubs on -- for the most part -- paved walkways. Many of the trees and plants are labeled with shiny metal tags. So, you dont have to ask, Wonder what that is?While there are plenty of benches to rest your backside upon along the pathways, you can see a lot in the building as well. My favorite is a lounge that looks to the outside looking over a bunch of bird-feeders. On a cold, windy, or rainy day, this is a fine place to relax to watch the local birds as well as those passing through. There are some other learning exhibits in addition to a small gift shop. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about all that you might see.So, bad or beautiful weather, this place offers refuge from our crazy man-made world. If you cant relax and enjoy nature here ... you probably need to seek professional help!!! (but try going here first!)

The nature realm is one of akrons jewels. There are a number of trails, and there is a place where you can feed birds from your hand. ask the people working there where the birds will land in your hand. Bring sunflower seeds and stay very still.

Absolutely one of our favorite places, especially for my 3 year old. The herb and rock garden is fantastic, and I love how everything is labeled. We always see a lot of animals. The displays inside the building are great, too; just know that the building is closed on Mondays.

This place has a free mini museum featuring local history and creatures. Theres a cute nature gift store. They also have workshops, displays and viewing areas for artists, photographers, birdwatchers, etc. The volunteers who do the hiking shield attachment programs are great. We love the gardens nearby with the plants all labeled for easy identification. We even listened to a live concert in the park, which was pleasant.

Come feed the Chickadees!! Bring black oil sunflower seeds, walk on the beginning part of the trail, youll hear the Chickadees in the shrubs and trees. Put seeds in your hand, hold out your hand and stand very still. The Chickadees fly onto your hand and take the seeds. Sometimes a Tufted Titmouse will come and one time a male cardinal actually landed on my hand! Its one of the most amazing things to me. Then we explored the Medicinal, Kitchen and Art & Craft garden. I saw flowers Ive never seen before. We hiked the paths and had such a wonderful couple of hours. Inside theres more, much more! Bring your family and spend the afternoon, you wont regret it.

Awesome place to social distance hike and learn about different flora.

Impressive nature center and trails

Beautiful and well maintained. Nice restrooms

Wonderful metro park with 4 hiking trailsof varying length and difficulty.

Fantastic place to go for a rainy day! Several exhibits to see. Including many hands on activities for the kids.There are two places that you can sit inside and watch the wildlife. As well as a very large patio you can hang out on.Staff is very friendly and helpful.Well worth the visit.

Very beautiful this time of year. Very friendly workers for the Fall Hiking Spree.

Both times we’ve traveled to Akron, we’ve gone here and will keep going back. The displays and hands-on fun inside match the great trails and ponds outside. We’d be here often if we lived nearby! Enthusiastic staff are awesome and the art programs offered are so cool. I could easily curl up in the bird feeder viewing room with a book all day. Can’t wait to go back!

Such a beautiful place to visit with the family or just a quite walk of solitude. The lanscape is picture perfect, the visitor center is packed with activities and the restroom facilities are CLEAN!!! If your a bird watcher, they also have an air conditioned area with super comfy chairs to sit in while you watch thru the glass at all the wildlife that comes to the feeders. Defiantly worth a stop!!!

This was a very nice place, although we arrived after the information center was closed. Very serene and beautiful, and I look forward going back to explore more of that section of the park.

Beautiful park, great for talking a hike or a jog. Will stop back when the nature buildings are open to the public again, dang Covid.

We took the longer trail out of those that were offered and it was very interesting and shady for most of the trip. Friendly folks on the trails and lots of wildlife

Always beautiful. Cute little critters on the path, they are pretty used to humans here. They offer a paved trail. Handicap accessible, they also have clean public restrooms. If you want to go on a more rugged adventure you can do that also, the park connects into sand run metro parks.

This place is great for a rainy day with children. We especially love the bird room where you can see a variety of birds and we also saw a bunny and groundhog. The staff is knowledgeable and always ready to teach you something.

Great park with beautiful trails and a nature center with stuff for kids.

Nicely developed park with plenty of nature and educational opportunities.

Great place to explore and bring kids 4 picnics

This place is so beautiful! I could walk around all day, watching the squirrels and playing Pokemon!

Great place to check out wildlife! So much to see here. Fish, turtles and tadpoles hanging out in the water areas. Long complicated hiking trails or short little runs.

Beautiful place for a walk, the nature center and bird watching is very informative! Great place to take pictures or have special event photos taken, beautiful no matter what season!

Incredible that a Place like this is in Ohio Beautiful Nature Preserve Setting and So Clean and Serene Must Go for Ohio!

Great place for bird watchers and nature loving people. Staffs are very friendly. Kids love this place especially the bird watching room.

Great walk...good exercise!

Great place for family hike.

The stone and herb walk is amazing with natural plants and flowers. Easy access even good for wheel chairs. The visitor center has sime but nice exhibits and workers are very friendly.

Where can you go to see Spring in bloom wiithout any crowds, have birds eat from food in your palms, see weeping trees, ponds, and a row of magnificent magnolias then walk trails and step in the free museum to review the history of the area and nature photos? This is it!! Sorry no restaurant but lots of tables for picnicking.

Beautiful trails well maintained when it is open the visitors center has a lot of stuff.

An enjoyable slice of nature. The trails are not difficult and its a relaxing area with lots of wildlife and trees.

Beautifully maintained walking trails and gardens. Great spots to take photos of wildlife or family pictures. My kids love the nature center with the turtles and play areas.

Beautiful trails and beautiful nature! Loved it!

Great spot to enjoy time with family and nature.

The trails are very clean and the educational center is great for kids and adults alike. The staff is super friendly and know their programs in and out!

Nice little park.

Great place to take kids

They are doing their best during the pandemic to support everyones mental health via access to Summit Co Metropark trails.

Beautiful and well-maintained trails! Great for younger kids.

Nature every where... Beautiful trails

One of my favorite summit metro parks. The park itself is small but that makes it perfect for younger children or people who arent able to get around easily. There is a beautiful suspended bridge that Ive been going to since I was a kid. There is an outdoor deck off the back of the visitor center that looks out over a pond. There are several trails that are only a mile or less.The visitor center is really nice and they even have a little gift shop with nature themed gifts.Not the best park for running (too small) but for walking or just taking in nature I highly recommend.

Beautiful place to hike or just enjoy nature at its finest! Great place for photography as well!! Indoor restrooms and gift shop, as well as really Hands-On informative things to do indoors.

Very nice park. When i went it was to take pictures of my niece for homecoming. So you see a police car patrolling traffic.

Beautiful and well kept. This is a peaceful place with lots of trails, nature, sights, and benches for relaxing. Also a good spot for nature photography, hiking, or just reading a book.

Very pretty place to take a walk, hike or just sit and admire. Very clean park and many nice spots to sit, people watch, admire fall colors. There is alot informational facts around to learn. I would recommend this place to people looking for good relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to go back and learning more.

Such wonderful staff. My family enjoys all the learning and friendship the metro parks provide. Please help support our community.

One of our familys favorite spots to explore in the Metroparks. A great place to visit.

Beautiful area and trails. We love the pond. The building is interesting and clean. The staff is always pleasantly helpful.

Beautiful peaceful place.....Mr Seiberling would probably love the way it is..

Beautifull place to come wander. I wouldnt mind working here

Beautiful Atmosphere & Awesome outdoors experience! Ill never forget it!

Several paved paths that make accessibility good for everyone.

This time of year is excellent to feed birds out of your hand! Definitely bring your camera and make sure obviously wear layers of clothes, in the winter months.

Such a beautiful place to observe the wilderness in all its glorious splendor!

Very nice was able to get good family photos of the kids.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The lady at the front desk was very nice, very sweet and made us feel welcome.i love the bird feeding area where you have a really good view of the birds.

Ok, Im not sure how I went so long without knowing about this park but its incredible! We went today looking for paw paws and they were knowledgeable and able to direct us to the exact tree we wanted to see. We jogged around some of the trails and they were all beautiful and clear. There are various gardens and a good variety of plants and wildlife. We saw people with their strollers, walkers and canes getting around and even someone doing yoga off to the side. The park has several Ed events were excited to check out, its worth your time

Beautiful place to take a walk.

Ive been visiting this place since I was a kid. I encourage everyone to keep visiting this place. It even has a great walking path for those who love nature or are avid players of Pokemon Go!

Such a fun time and beautiful day to enjoy this gorgeous place!!

Beautiful trails, peaceful, educational activities for children inside the building, and a place to sit and watch birds. I used to come here as a child with my grandma to watch the birds from the chairs inside, so its nice it is still there.

I have all good things to say about this place. Its really good for families, especially with young children because the visitor center has some hands-on play opportunities and learning experiences. And the indoor section holds my favorite part - a place to sit and bird watch where you will see all kinds of birds and small rodents (maybe even a raccoon, cat, or deer!). The trails have varying levels of accessibility. There is about a half mile long trail that is paved and very easy as well as dirt trails that take you to various ponds and a suspension bridge. This is a great place to picnic or just take a walk and enjoy nature.

Favorite place to take a few hours with my son. Nice trails, Nature Center is small but fun and educational... and it’s free.

Relaxing, great area to take little ones to see nature!

Trails for all. Beautiful gardens and structures.

Just a breathtaking experience every time.

The Nature Realm is a beautiful place to spend a relaxing time. They have 3 different nature trails, varying in intensity. Completely serene for when you need a day to decompress...

Free place to explore the seasonal beauty and hiking trails in the middle of a suburban neighborhood! One of my favorite places to relax. Especially when the butterflies are out!

Its lovely here! And there are so many different trails.
