It is a small but beautiful park. There is a butterfly garden there but we did not get a chance to see that . There is also a greenhouse but due to covid-19 we did not go inside. The walking trails are beautiful. It is simply a beautiful, peaceful, serene place.

This place was absolutely wonderful. We had a great time. Its beautiful the staff is friendly and hospitable. The butterfly house is small but awesome.

Such a treasure right in our backyard! We had A really nice time walking around the gardens, looking at butterflies in the butterfly house, and discovering the incredible variety of plants in the greenhouse. It is so well taken care of, the plants are very interesting and the admission fee is exceptionally inexpensive. Five stars 100% highly recommend this fabulous place for an afternoon of relaxation and Beauty.

Sadly, butterfly house is ruined, but still lots of herbs and flowers to see. Including a path to walk in lots of shade. A $2 fee to walk inside though. I declined. I wouldve gladly donated, $5. But the indoors is not very big. A fee? Hmmmm.

The butterfly house is truly amazing! We spent about 35 minutes inside and our 11 year old grandson was amazed at the number and variety of butterflies fluttering around. He was able to get a couple of them to land on his arm. We love this place.

I really enjoyed my visit!! They have a beautiful facility with clean, indoor and outdoor restrooms. They have a butterfly house, beautiful gardens, hiking trail, greenhouse, patio and a cafe. I highly recommend it!

Awesome place. They need to pull the thistles by the water feature outside though.

Very cool little place to take the kids! They loved the butterfly garden and the plants very so cool. Beautiful flowers and great hiking trails.

Beautiful building. Lovely plants. Five miles of out-and-back trails.

Very nice nature preserve with a greenhouse and a butterfly house.

Loved it!! Best part of our trip was walking through this amazing place

This is a beautiful place to go in the North Ridgeville/Avon area. A walking path is accented by a butterfly house and rose garden.

Beautiful scenery and a great walking path through the woods.

I go a lot. The plants and flowers are always so beautiful. Its a nice way to interrupt myself from staring at my phone all day. There are so many exotic plants and flowers inside. I like that theres something new blooming a lot of the time. The outdoor flowers have a theme and from what Ive seen it changes from time to time. I like that as it keeps it new, with as often as I go.

Just a lovely place to come and enjoy beautiful gardens and nature walk.

Went to a baby shower here. It was quaint and comfortable.Away from the other people coming into the conservatory side it was the perfect place to have an afternoon party.All one had to do to enjoy nature was to look out the beautiful wall of windows.I would have a party here!

Beautiful flowers well tended too. Butterfly house is always a huge hit.

Lovely place to find peacefulness in a hectic day,

Love this place. Even in the cold weather I appreciate the beauty.Echo was sweetly sleeping on his perch.Enjoyed the brisk walk outside to admire my favorite Sweet Annie bush that had been cut down for the winter.I cant wait for warmer weather so that i can come back. The gentleman out in the garden was very nice. He answered my question even though I thought it was silly! Thanks again!

Nice park for a casual walk.

A really fun place go! Especially with littles and fairly priced!

Beautiful place! So many fun plants and we went to visit Candyland! What a fun experience.

Good to hand out on a nice weather

Very nice place to walk, lots of shaded paths and very clean.

A beautiful place to take pictures and hike and even lear a little something

What a great place to wander, and the butterfly house is a great attraction

Lovely place to go. If you wanna walk arou d its defi elty 100 percent fun. Lots of things to see. Garden and Inside greenhouse. I would recommend goi g and be prepared to see nature. There is a lot of people. Especially on busy days

Fantastic place to escape the winter with a great magic show by Bill Gang

Beautiful! Staff is friendly and I got some good info on how to care for my air plants. A lovely little trip for a child winters day

Nice path for walking, but the gravel (in spots) made it tough to push someone in a wheelchair through.

Great place to take little ones. They change up the themes often and my kid loves it!

Was beautiful! Our 2nd year here. Relaxing....the staff did a great job like always decorating..staff is always friendly and helpful and they make you feel welcome. Nice to visit when its cold outside be back in the spring!

Great place to go with people of all ages to explore,teach or relax

What a wonderful surprise very nice beautiful

Their greenhouse is worth the small admittance fee (2$ as of 2016) and is great if you need to be around some green plants in the winter.

Best hidden gem in Lorain County!

Beautiful place and a great atmosphere!

My dogs absolutely love Miller Nature Center. A lot of people take their dogs to walk here and their children to play. Its a chill park with so many amenities. The walking path is gorgeous, well kept, and safe. My dog enjoys the fountain but sometimes it can be difficult to keep him away from it. Ha! Theres even this floral room where the displays change per season it seems. Just a beautiful park. I really enjoy it here.

Nice quiet relaxing area to sit or walk

Very nice place , Took our daughter for the Candy land game , wish we wouldve known about breakfast with santa and we wouldve done that too.. weird we seen one advertisement but it didnt mention the breakfast with Santa . Seems like both would have made the same advertisement. Maybe next time.

I thought this place was great for what we had expected. There was an exhibit with inflatable dinosaurs and my five year old nephew loved it. Nice indoor terrarium or garden and walkway it was Winter outside so this was the most I experienced

This a great place to see butterflies

This is better suited for children under five the area is very minimalistic the price however is comparable to the service. The customer service was very good

Most Beautiful Place

They decorated for Christmas with a Whoville theme. Some of the displays were interactive. We all loved it, especially the kids.

Fun park. Definitely worth the trip.

My granddaughter loved the magic show. I loved the greenhouse.

Its probably better in the summer. But not really worth the $3 entry fee to walk in a small circle and look at flowers.

This place is lovely and I had no idea it existed. Wonderful flowers and plants, very pretty

Its a beautifully tended patch of flowers, exotic plants and butterflies, hard by downtown Avon, yet somehow away from it all. A lovely hours diversion in a woodsy setting, where butterflies are incubated and orchids grow in profusion. A Lorain Metroparks gem, with a dining room suitable for small-group excursions. Well worth checking out, over and over!

Beautiful facility to rent and the Candy Land garden is very cool.

I come here often, and love to watch the plants grow and change over time. They do change it around and have different themes as well! Definitely worth the membership to have somewhere interesting to bring kids on a boring day

They had a cute Candyland game in the greenhouse for the kids!!

Beautiful place to enjoy

I love this little Park one of Lorain Countys best kept secrets. Its never crowded. Beautiful and well-manicured gardens are gorgeous and the Butterfly House is a must-see! Be sure to call first if the Butterfly House is what youre interested in because they do release them. A great little cafe and free live music on Thursdays on the patio . FYI it can get quite crowded on that night! Small parking lot plan ahead and carpool.

Cute but more for little children

Fun concert on the patio! Loved checking out the butterfly garden too. My kids loved the dinosaur exhibit.

It is so beautiful and a great place.

Its cold and gray in Ohio. Seeing some greenery, being warm, and hanging out with the Amazon parrot helped me manage my seasonal depression.

Wonderful plants and flowers! Butterfly house you can go into. Go if you can.

Kids loved it.

Beautiful and relaxing. Nice place to escape the rush of every day life.

It was so beautiful a enjoy with my baby boy he has 5 months old I really recommend for moms

Great for my curious kids. My so loved the photo scavenger hunt. He was determined to find everything.

Very clean and peaceful here. The butterfly house was pretty cool too.

Very nice little park that is a hedge against rampant development of this area. Nice wide gravel trails along a stream and through new growth woods. Nice visitor center which boasts a cafe and tropical greenhouse (admission charge). Friendly staff. There is also a free butterfly house open in warmer months. Paved, free parking lot just off of main road. Revisited this August when the butterfly house was open and the lovely gardens were in flower. Quite lovely. Great place to take small children.

Very nice trails, seasonal displays and green house.

A nice little park with a short trail. Nice flowers and the butterfly exhibit though it was closed at that time.

This park/reserve was very clean and attractive. There wasnt a whole lot to do other than the greenhouse and small gardens but it was good for a nice little stop.

We loved meeting Echo the parrot! The plants are also beautiful and there are great photo opportunities.

The butterflies were let go Labor Day weekend so the house is closed. Still a great greenhouse and lovely planting. Walking trail for exercise. Friendly staff. Concerts on the patio during the summer with drinks and food. A fun way to spend a free summer evening.

Very nicely landscaped park and greenhouse. Nice trails and butterfly house!

Had a great time here with the kids They really enjoyed the dinosaurs and the plants were amazing

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful gardens. A wonderful place to visit.

Sadly, this glorious place seems to be incognito. Wonderful place.

Beautiful, serene.

What a gem! Beautiful gardens and grounds for a nice walk

You dont see this kind of stuff everywhere, its quite unique and very serene.Its a great place to go and relax. Maybe sip at a tasty drink and chat on their lovely patio overlooking the scenic gardens and ponds.The Butterfly House is a dream. Its filled with many different beautiful and interesting types of butterflies, that flutter about lazily in the air all around you.Then theres the amazing and wonder-filled arbortorium. Here, in this giant glass building youll find exotic plants and trees, the likes of which youve never dreamed to be possible. Living flora that can only be found growing naturally, in far-off and mysterious places that you will probably never visit in your life time.The Rose and Herb gardens are awesome as well. Both made to form circle shaped gardens, they sit at either end of the Preserves.There are also walking trails through the adjoining woodlands.

Beautiful creation everywhere! It is so peaceful

A wonderful outdoor horticultural garden and a very well maintained greenhouse. Outdoor has changing themes spring through Christmas holidays. Greenhouse (conservatory) is open year round featuring orchid, cacti and bromilads. The restaurant, Orchid Cafe has fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, etc, all very good. Small gift shop too. A hidden gem in Avon!

Great facility ... Beautifully kept and outstanding layout.

The family had a great visit!

Beautiful gardens and conservatory. Dont miss it if youre in going to be in the area.

Absolutely beautiful

Has a nice dinosaur exhibit for kids with hands on interaction.

Beautiful park with butterfly house, greenhouse, gardens, trails, restaurant, fountains. Nice for events.

Outdoor landscaping is beautiful. Restaurant is spacious and very quiet. A good place to meet friends for lunch and enjoy reminiscing and sharing stories

Very quiet and lovely area to visit from Spring to Fall.

They have a butterfly house,so cool

Butterfly House could be a little bigger, but probably wasnt thought it would be as popular as it is. Thats the ONLY reason I dont give it 5 stars. Very nice place and several areas to look and explore. We plan on going back very soon.

I bought my $10 year-long pass, and Im going to do it again. It gets you free admittance to the conservatory, which is only $2 for non-members. They always have fun new themes and different flowers on display with information about nearly every one of their plants. Its great year round summer, spring, fall, and especially in the winter and fall when the days are getting shorter and green things in warm spaces are going away. Its a great pick-me-up for those who love plants and those with Seasonal Affective Disorder. Im super excited about their new addition Echo the Parrot --and he likes me too, (a little too much -- I got in trouble because he, of his own volition, climbed onto me). I love that little guy. I can get him to talk for me, say, Hi, say his name, and sing a little Hokey Pokey for me. He requires a lot of singing, talking and patience and, like the rest of us, he can have moody days, but he seems to like to have visitors sometimes.I love their outdoor/indoor bonsai section (they have both). Its a great, educational place to take field trips. Find out when their next display is complete and bring a group. Great for kids AND adults. Groups of nearly any age.There is more, so much more to this place, and I havent even taken advantage of their walking trails and nature paths yet. Park a bike and walk or take your bike, dog, kid in a stroller, elderly parent or friend in a wheelchair... explore the whole place rain or shine, snow or warmth.They even have a cafe for those looking for a nibble after a stroll. Check cafe hours, though. Theyre not open all of the time.

Nice trails to walk or run , awesome conservatory with rotating floral displays depending on the season .

Beautiful nature preserve find Greenhouse on the facility trails, pods, Forestry plenty of parking also handicap parking and handicap accessibility. Easy to find from the road plenty of signage. They must visit if you love nature.

Wonderful spot in Avon... on a hot day the butterflies are more active

Lovely place.

Beautiful place

It is such a nice place to walk through. The butterfly house, the grounds are constantly attended to and of course, the Orchid greenhouse. It changes everyday. They have live intertainment during the summer on their patio. A quick eat restaurant with soup, salad and sandwiches (Orchid Cafe). You can rent the cafe for showers and parties.

Beautiful place with lovely walks,easy footpath to follow, accessible for wheelchair users

Fun place!
