I like international things and culture so multiple 20-30 gardens all lined up based on nationality was pretty interesting to me. I would have liked to see them all, however the neighborhood didn’t seem the best and I was concerned with getting to far from my car as there isn’t a lot specific to the Gardens.

Im not from this area & figured it would be a cool thing to see. Some of the exhibits are new & undeveloped. Some are run down. It seems like this has been a long project, but must be an educational tool for the surrounding schools. It was a very long walk, about 5 miles to walk on one side then back on the other. The displays are on both sides of the street.

I had never been here before but our photographer recommended it for a wedding shoot. Absolutely beautiful and huge so you can avoid others if you need to!

It is a very beautiful, CULTURAL MEMORIAL, informative walk or drive, not guided. You read/see as you go.There are many countries represented each with their own garden. You can also walk to the Rockefeller Greenhouse from this location which is free too.The Cleveland Museum of Art (free- closed Monday), Natural History Museum, Western Reserve Society Museum and Botanical gardens are also within walking distance.

Wow Wow Wow!!! I had walked around the different country exhibits multiple times thinking I was at the cultural gardens, not realizing that there was actually an indoor greenhouse sanctuary full of amazing wildlife from all across the world. Plants from north and south america, many different fruit trees and flowers, and an awesome cactus exhibit. Don’t miss out on this awesome hidden gem while visiting the east side.

The area is full of traffic, so parking can be a struggle. However, that minor problem is made up for with the immense beauty and scenery! This serene location is great for simple walks, relaxing and taking ones mind off of the troubles of the world, and it is a great place for photoshoots! Very nice, and hope to return!

One of the best places in Cleveland for a walk. You will learn some interesting stuff about different cultures that are represented in the Greater Cleveland community.

The cultural gardens are pretty looking as you blast by at 45mph.I drive the gardens at 35mph with a line of cars honking and passing against double yellow, carrying on like an ambulance to a fire.Cultural Gardens is designed as a main thoroughfare rather than a beautuful park to enjoy. It Blows...35 mph posted is too fast to see sh××!

This time of year there arent as many flowers but it is still beautiful. I have been there several times and taken tons of pictures. Its a photographers dream :) Wonderful place to take graduation and wedding pictures. They also have an area including smells and touch for the visually impaired. Everyone enjoys that tremendously.

This Culture Garden is about 3 miles in length. It has many different gardens by culture scattered throughout this 3 mile long park. The individual gardens are nicely layout and design. Unfortunately I only saw a few from my car while driving by looking for a spot to park. I did find a 1 section of 1 hour parking along a very busy, high traffic road. One will have to be fit and does not have mobility issues to enjoy the gardens. I did park at the Rockefeller Garden, but to enjoy any of the different gardens in the cultural garden, one will have to do some walking. I visited on a very hot day in September, and although I could have walked a few miles, but to enjoy the entire park would required nicer, cooler weather and many available hours to walk 6+ miles round-trip. I deductible one star for lack of parking, convenient parking.

The cultural gardens are a Cleveland gem that alot of Clevelanders dont really get out to see, it is a place to walk or bike or nowadays scooter thru, most just ride thru it and glance at 35 mph, if you get an opportunity to slow down and see the gardens you will thoroughly enjoy it, give it a try

A park-like setting along Martin Luther King Boulevard with individual areas celebrating the history and culture of a multitude of countries whose people settled in Cleveland and made its a great City that it is. East Boulevard is its eastern boundary. It runs roughly just south of the Shoreway to almost University Circle, finishing near the Cleveland Museum of Art

Okay free isnt everything but its free and smaller than the botanical. It had a sense of undisturbed wonder. I went with someone so we had lots of fun. Even alone I think you would have fun. Meet a guy their says he goes all the time alone. It was small buy quaint. Very hard to put into words. Park your car on MLK (Marrin Luther King Parway) take a walk around. Its right up the hill it wasnt a bad walk at all. Im no way in shape so I know if I can do it you all can to. For sure worth the time to check out.
