Inniswood Metro Gardens Autumn Sisters' Garden & Boardwalk Stroll

About this adventure

Tucked into Westerville, Inniswood Metro Gardens is a 121-acre horticultural jewel featuring more than 2,000 species of plants, scenic woodland boardwalks, and whimsical theme gardens. Autumn transforms the grounds with golden ginkgoes, ornamental grasses, scarlet winterberry shrubs, and fragrant evergreen groves. The centerpiece for families is the Sisters' Garden, designed specifically for children with interactive features including a stone turtle fountain, a storybook maze, a rustic treehouse structure perched among forest limbs, and secret pathways to explore. The accessible Spring Run Boardwalk guides families gently through deep wooded ravines where babbling brooks and late-season songbirds thrive. Paved loop trails make it effortless for parents with strollers to navigate the entire estate. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Exceptionally accessible; smooth asphalt loop trails and flat wooden boardwalks connect every major garden collection. • Nursing & Rest Spots: The Innis House visitor center offers modern heated restrooms, changing tables, rocking chairs, and peaceful library seating. • Age Suitability: Ideal for all generations; toddlers love the sensory play elements in the Sisters' Garden, while older children explore the canopy treehouse. • Sensory Tips: A serene, tranquil garden atmosphere with gentle babbling streams, tactile foliage, and abundant quiet benches tucked away along the trails.
