    Well-worth the visit! We drove an hour to visit this garden, and we were so happy we did. You can immediately tell that a great deal of thought and care has gone into creating this oasis! They have seating everywhere, making this an excellent place for seniors to visit, as well a wonderful place to bring a book and just read ... after you have toured every inch of the gardens. There is a very well-designed children's area too. Don't miss it if you have the opportunity to visit.

    12-21-18. Some of the family and I came to see the light show tonight. It was quite awesome we went around once probably took 45 minutes. Wellfield was packed sure is nice to see that kind of support. It's not cheap $10 per person or five if you are a member like myself. But the money is well worth it even with welch packaging paying for a big chunk of it I don't know of anywhere else in Michiana like this. Go support it every Friday and Saturday it's open for another two weeks. A new family tradition has begun my granddaughter loves it!!

    I had a very lovely time at the gardens. It was a nice place to spend a few hours in the afternoon. Lots of reviewers have covered some of the highlights so I wont go into much detail. But the setup was fun, considering social distancing and they still put in effort to make sure it was as carefree as possible. One bummer was that there were two sections of the gardens that were closed down when I was there. It made things seem smaller than they are. Overall, a lovely setting for a stroll on a nice day!

    (Updated 10/20/19) This time we visited for the Halloween and trick or treat event and wow! So much for kids to see and do. Parking was still tricky (don't be late to events like this!) but not a huge deal. There were a dozen or so stops for trick or treaters with volunteers passing out candy, Santa on a golf cart, a children's author reading/signing her book, Mr. Deegan was there with his fish for kids to see and touch, Silly Safari educational talks with animals that kids could see and touch, a hot dog vendor, lots and lots of decorations and photo ops, and of course, the grounds themselves were beautiful. I've upped my rating from 3 to 5 stars after giving this place another chance. If you have kids and are looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, give Wellfield Botanical Gardens a try. Even better, check their website for events like this one and have even more fun. We will be back for Christmas lights again this year and already looking forward to it!

    This is one of the better botanical gardens I've been to, despite that all of the other botanic gardens I've been to were in much bigger cities. I think that's due in large part to the fact that the garden centers around a large pond, and makes use of more sculptures and non-botanical features/structures than others. Admission is $5/person, and well worth it. If you're going, consider going on a weekend morning or on a weekday to avoid private events. We went on a Saturday afternoon, when three weddings were going on, and wish we'd been able to go a different day since we felt like there were certain areas we didn't really get to see because of the weddings and wedding photography taking place.

    Our walk through the gardens was much more pleasant than I anticipated. I have driven past this place for many years and never knew it existed. The natural landscape is beautiful bettered by a feeling of hometown authenticity. My exact words were "we do have nice things in Elkhart."

    This is a gem! My partner and I came here for a nice walk on our anniversary and it was perfect. We really enjoyed the gardens. I can't wait to see what the gardens under construction are going to look like!

    No good. Was much better before the ruining of the park. Not good place. Steer clear. Bad place

    Poor service. Solid environment once you get past the front desk and pay. Nice walk around the area - quiet - great place to read.

While going through the motions with the Center for Community Justice of Elkhart County Indiana, it became clear that the main intention of this organization was to rehabilitate the perpetrators with as little harm to their emotional and financial status as possible, all while at the expense of the individuals initially harmed being my family in this case. To put this into context, their process involves a negotiation process as to where we were asked to except less and less each round of talks until we ended up with nothing as compensation, but the perpetrators where comforted and coddled to the point as to where the level of accountability was nothing short of a slap on the hand. Knowing now what to expect out of the Elkhart County Courts system and this agency, if a criminal element impose themselves on my family's life at any time in the future, my approach will be justice at my own hand immediately and justly with no call to 911 necessary.
