Love Chagrin Falls. It is a quaint little town filled with shops, restaurants, boutiques, bakeries, ice cream parlor, parks, and on and on and on. We had a wonderful breakfast there this morning. Took a leisurely stroll by the falls. Stopped at the bakery for a fresh loaf of bread. Just had a wonderful time. read more

You can hear but not see the falls as you are walking down the wooden stairs from town. Once I saw the falls they were larger than I imagined. There is a long stairway from the main street down to the falls. There are areas to stop and rest, it is a long walk down and back up. The falls are very picturesque and it is worth the trip to see them. The water was running pretty fast during my visit. I am sure other times of the year it is much slower. read more

What a beautiful park in the middle of town! There are places to sit and enjoy the falls and good vantage points for photos. A wooden staircase takes you down to the falls from street level. read more

Will NEVER ever go to Chagrin Falls again.. went there found a parking spot by the CLOSED bank. Went and spent about about $800 including wine, dinner etc. Come back 2 hours later and guess what we had a parking ticket ( $20). In there defense there was a sign and writing on the ground ( my wife was driving ) but didn't see it.. now remember the bank wasn't open. This was nothing but a $ grab ( since there were a lot of spots ) which is fine but this is the LAST time I will go there and spend my $ again. When we were leaving we saw a guy ( driving a tiny little Fiat) who looked like he got enjoyment out of giving tickets. So congrats you got $20 and lost the $$$$ we would have spent in the future. read more

This little town is beyond charming, friendly, historic and breathtaking with the waterfall in the center of the town. If your into the holidays; especially Christmas its decorated like a scence from a Hallmark movie. Im sure with snow would be beyond beautiful. Located close to Cleveland and recommend everyone to visit; even if its just once in their lifetime, you'll feel the magic and charm . read more

We came to Chagrin Falls to get Jeni's and had to stop by and see the falls. There's street parking, but we opted to park in the big parking lot by Heinen's (and even that was packed). The falls is cool to see. My husband commented on how muddy it is. It's usually crowded by the falls, but people must have been focused on the street market going on because it was empty when we were there. Take some time to walk along the river on the other side of the street. It's really pretty and I like it even better than the falls. It's a neat thing to stop and see when you're in Chagrin Falls. read more

Great place see ... better when construction is done. Lovely area to visit. Not just the falls but the area

Sunday we had a full day of northern Ohio Waterfalls. We got up early and hit the road by 7:30 and didn't get home till dark. We had a list of of 7 waterfalls to try and see in 1 day. To even get to the first fall will take 3 1/2 hours and same to get home so this will be a long day and not sure we will see all on the list. We'd read all are just a short walk to see but traffic and other unforeseen issues can always change your day. Ideally we would spend the night up in that area so we could see more and not be rushed. Because of our dogs decline in health (she's paralyzed in her back legs) we are limited to how long we can go and what we can do. We didn't bring her because the falls are not stroller friendly. Most people are only limited by covid right now .. we also have our pugs issues. We had been to Chagrin falls once before on previous trip but had only spent a moment looking at the falls in front of the popcorn shop that is in a little park. It's obviously a manmade fall but it was still cute. We didn't know the real falls was behind the popcorn shop ... we totally missed it the first time. This time we saw it and being spring with rain recently there was alot of water rushing and really nice falls. It was a weekend so there were lots of people. Obviously would have been nice to come through the week when less crowd but still an enjoyable visit. The town is SUPER cute ... nice restaurants and shops. I wanted to buy some popcorn and Jenny's ice cream but we were short on time and lines were long. Wanted to eat lunch at the french cafe but they were only open for diner and don't think they opened at all on Sundays. read more

Water. It is the one ingredient without which life cannot exist, whether a single cell amoeba or a mighty blue whale. Humans are drawn to it, like a moth to a spiderweb. And the chagrin waterfalls have water galore. The chagrin river rages over a falls between a Starbucks and the popcorn shop, which is great planning and the town should be commended for putting the falls there. When the weather is fair, there are stairs you can ascend to get a close up look at this miracle. If you are brave, you can even venture out upon the rocks that rise from the river. While visiting the falls, why not make a day of it and have a meal of food or stroll in the park and feed the ducks. read more

A cute natural park in the heart of a suburban city! Chagrin Falls is a sweet little town made even better by its non-manmade water falls. The great part about the Falls is the proximity to local businesses. You can get a scoop of ice cream, shop, wander a few art galleries and enjoy this natural park once you're winding down. There's a boardwalk that takes you down the incline to the rocks at the bottom, or you can hang around the common areas, which are pristine with cool outdoor sculptures, benches and well-manicured flowers. Its a nice spot to sit and relax with a book, take photos, or just enjoy a cup of coffee from a nearby stop. Regardless of season, the Chagrin Water Falls are always worth a visit. Even in the winter, it makes for an interesting, icy photo opportunity. I agree with Maggie R - make a little trip to this suburban city, do a day of shopping and enjoy the views! read more

I've been coming to the falls since I was an innocent kid with merely dreams and ambition, yet as an adult this place has not lost its impact on me! The falls provide a scenic and therapeautic respite from the daily grind that so viciously permeates our lives. As you descend the wooden steps near the popcorn shop you are surrounded by shrubs and foliage that seem to sprout from the ground with reckless abandon; however, head your gut and don't slip on the rocks, as they are unforgiving for those brave enough to test their resolve. Overall, the falls punctuate the area as a quintessential small town American community reminiscent of the 1950s! read more

The Chagrin Falls are a tourist attraction. See them throughout the year. After a rain the water flows heavy and fast. During hot weather the water is low and the rocks show. Winter water over the falls is icicles. Like a garden, the Falls and the surroundings change with the seasons. read more

The first time I went to chagrin falls I just figured there would be some trickling waters down a side of a hill. Boy was I wrong. The cutest little town is built around this gorgeous falls that is breathtaking regardless of the season. It's a place where you can see people all ages just smile because Mother Nature did it again. You see little kids playing in the water while parents watch and sometimes even join in on the fun. You see people having dinners, taking prom pictures, or just hanging out, all around this waterfall that disappears into the woods. If you want a unique trip to a small town in Ohio, take a stop at chagrin falls and just soak in the views. read more

This is a pretty cool little pit stop if you find yourself in the area. It's not the most impressive waterfall in the world, but its a nice way to spend the afternoon. Stop into Chagrin Falls for lunch at one of the many local restaurants, wander around the the boutiques and little stores, check out the falls, then get some ice cream. Not a bad day! Don't come in the winter though, unless you want to freeze than by all means! read more

I've seen some other pretty great waterfalls, (Niagara, Snoqualmie, Minnehaha), but this was impressive too. The spring runoff is beginning and there is a tremendous rush of water right now. I like the different viewing decks to check it out from. You can get some nice views from the bridge and other interesting views from the park that runs alongside it before the falls. What a pretty place to visit. Well worth the stop if you're in the Cleveland area. read more

This is a wonderful view to behold, regardless of the season. We had our family photos taken here last winter; the holiday lights, rushing falls, holiday music from nearby shops. It was wonderful! Not that any of that got my sons in the mood to smile for the photos ;-) but that is another topic! If you have the chance to visit the falls, you definitely should. Stop by the popcorn shop, too!

Great place to visit and relax. Nice friendly atmosphere. Lots of shops and restaurants.

In this whole wide world...this is my favorite place to go when I need a few minutes to myself -- a few moments to just walk and ponder. Regardless the season, the Chagrin Water Falls never lack in splendor. If you are seeking a fun afternoon, do come to check out the beautiful little shops and restaurants, enjoy the overall New England-esque architectural ambiance, and make sure to walk along the water, sit, and listen to the falls for a moment or three. Grade: A, as this is an American gem. read more

So purdy. It's nice that there are 2 falls (one on each side of the bridge). I loved coming to the falls when I was in high school and climbing underneath the bridge (in retrospect, kind of illegal/dangerous...but when you're 16 who thinks like that?) On a hot summer day in Cleveland, sitting by the falls eating a twist ice cream cone from the Popcorn Shop is one of my top 5 things to do. read more

I take a picture in front of the falls every time I'm in Ohio. You can literally watch me grow up in front of these falls. The falls change their mood with the season just as the leaves on the trees do. I love all the different vantage points offered to see the falls. And, of course, the surrounding town of Chagrin Falls is a cute little town to visit. read more

I see the falls nearly every day and always love it As a resident of Chagrin Falls I descend the steps on the Southern side of the falls during my daily walk and it never fails to impress. Throughout the year it's always a sight to see, and I especially enjoy seeing how differences in rainfall and temperature change it. Nestled between the Popcorn Shop (which also sells ice cream) and Starbucks on the street above, the falls can be enjoyed from public viewing areas on either side of the river or from the comfort of Jekyll's Kitchen (a restaurant on the Northern side.) If you have the chance to go, please do, and enjoy more of the local color while you're at it. Pros: Beautiful waterfall, great location in a charming village. Cons: Stairs and viewing areas are magnets for people (kids?) with with melting and dripping ice-cream who don't always seem to find the waste receptacles. read more

I spent a few years growing up here when I was a kid. I got to experience a lot of things here, it was a great place to grow up. I loved getting to go down and feed the ducks.. our family spent the weekends picnicking at the park , ice cream by the falls, I even got my first pet (I won a Goldfish at the river side carnival) here, and experienced falling in love for the first time. It was hard moving away I was really upset we had to leave. The girl Dana had a bucket of G.I Joes she gave me before I left so I wouldn't forget her. I still have one I saved all these years that I can't bring myself to get rid of :) read more
