Very cute lil stop!! We enjoyed it. There are ones you can sit on to take pictures. Its family friendly. Pets are allowed as long as they are leashed and its FREE but there is a donation box so if you have a little extra to help them out Im sure they would appreciate it.

Didnt know this place existed until Thursday when a couple of friends and I were out geocaching. This place is great. The sculptures are amazing.

Nicely sculpted wood. Out of town relatives love going there and taking pictures. It was great to see all those smiles and adults revert back to being a child again.

Cold rainy windy day . But very cool to drive through and see. Wish it had been a little nicer day would have loved to walk the grounds

The park is beautiful and peaceful. The part of forest where the Ash trees are, was killed off by the Ash Bore. They converted the trunks of the Ash to sculptures. All are done nicely and are fun to walk through.

Its amazing gives me the fantasy vibes can imagine how fun night time would be

Such a great deal of talent! Many people have put out their heart and souls in their work. It is a pleasure to be able to walk among the garden and talk to my daughter about the many different presentations.

Beautiful. Peaceful. Serene. Even though its located on a busy thoroughfare once you enter....Calgon...

Nice place to visit. Very nice views from top of the hill and a very cool area to walk around

This place is really neat. A whole bunch of trees have been carved in many unique ways...check it out. Its located within the arboretum....

Really interesting structures. As were driving by noticed the structures and did a u-turn to check out the park. Very well kept and peaceful

Small amount of parking, but during the week this isnt an issue. The sculptures are nice to look at, and theres other attractions at the arboretum like disc golf, childrens garden, museum, and a walking path.

Beautiful outdoor art exhibit with such unique ideas for the sculptures! It truly is a gem of Battle Creek.

Perfect place to take the kids or a great spot for date night

Beautiful carvings and land. Very well kept up.

Nice if you want to see great chain saw art.

It was great, and recommend visiting.

Beautiful scenery and lovely park.

Great experience. I just wish the grass was mowed to make it more appealing!

Nicely maintained. Hit a bunch of poke stops walking through here.

Great place to take kids

Cool carvings and a great place to be outdoors.

Perfect place to go. Its Free it does have a donation box. It has areas to sit and enjoy the handmade work. Its from trees that were destroyed by the bug. These trees were hand carved by artists. Amazing work definitely worth a trip.

The carvings in Fantasy Forest are a treat for kids to observe. This park area of the Leila Arboretum is well kept and features a permanent stage now for presentations and concerts. I was here for the Leilapalooza Music Festival and had a very good time. Sound quality was quite good whether a full band playing or a single person singing and playing acoustic guitar. No concessions most of the time, but during festivals and some special events, there is food and drink available.

Cool place

Thousands of people come each year to visit Battle Creeks Fantasy Forest. The forest was once a grove of 100-year-old Ash trees but they all died due to the Ash Borer infestation. Leila Arboretum is the home of the Fantasy Forest. Very nearby is the Battle Creek Linear Park, so this a great place for a bike ride and to see art along the way. The Fantasy Forest now has carvings of castles, dragons, and wizards.

Amazing carvings. Well worth the visit.

Love taking the grandkids here they have so much fun

Nice tourist attraction, quick stop to take pictures and enjoy the art and creativity

We really enjoyed seeing all the amazing carvings. Grass was long and made walking difficult.

Fun, fun, and fun! Swings and benches are a GREAT way to make it more fun!

First time. This is a picture of my favorite.
