Yanaguana is one of the best (if not the best) kid playground/park in the city!…read more Yanaguana Garden is located within Hemisfair. The park itself includes multiple sections for all ages including the main playground which was designed to be an inclusive space and follows the American Disabilities Act standards for public playgrounds. A new toddler play area which is perfect for babies and toddlers. There is also the Union Pacific splash pad which is only open during certain months of the year, so make sure to check their calendar for hours. They also have a sand play area, as well as another section with small games like ping pong, chess and many more games. Overall, this garden/park offers a wide range of outdoor activities for people of all ages. I've been taking my kid here since he was born and as he is growing and exploring new areas of Yanaguana I can truly see how well thought off this park is. To all the locals that don't travel to downtown too often, I would definitely recommend giving this park a chance before winter comes. Also, for all the tourists coming with little ones that need the space to run around for a couple of hours, this is most definitely the spot for you!

Beautifully maintained clean park for the entire family, friends catching up, or just chilling out…read moresolo. There's separate picnic tables by the Kimpton hotel side that's great for a quick meal too. Lots of splash pads and shaded areas with chairs for the parents to watch from a distance. Bathrooms aren't super clean but I think there's other spots less frequented where babies/toddlers can go for a quick change of clothes. Parking is going to be a challenge on the weekends but paid parking isn't too far away.

In total the experience was around 50 minutes, well short of the advertised 75-90m. Given we had a few older folks who required very involved help getting in and out of the kayaks, I'd imagine we weren't on the shorter end of rides Given the introduction, I expected a lot of interesting information related to the plants and wildlife in the area, but our guides were mostly just along for the ride. Overall, id strongly recommend looking elsewhere for interpretive paddle experiences in the area, especially given the price point

The kid kinda freaked out and it was scary thinking that there is no end and no way out. I seemed like we were really trapped with no way out. We finally, somehow, got out, and the cashier was surprised when we popped out where we stated. He said we were not supposed to come out that way, but both of us were relieved to be out. Then the wife went back in with the kid and also got lost but the kid was calmer. I think the maze is fun but you need to have a tolerance for feeling totally lost with no way out. The wife and kid then did an escape room and could not get out in the 10 minute time limit. But they enjoyed it. Finally, the kid did the laser challenge and liked that the best. They let her do different levels and she was happy to emerge an"expert." Overall, this was a fun attraction and worth the time and money. One note: when you first arrive they will try to sell you the most expensive package, but if you keep asking you will finally get to the package that you want that is cheaper.

This was a fun date night experience, definitely worth the money. We had access to the amazing…read moremirror maze, all of the escape rooms, and discover zone. The mirror maze was very enjoyable and took some time to figure out, we also made it last a little longer to be sure we explored as many of the halls as possible. Once you solve the maze they send you back through with 3d glasses which led to a lot of laughs as we tried not to run into others. There are 6 escape rooms and you are given 10 minutes to escape each of them. There are two for each easy, medium, and hard levels. It wasn't very busy when we went so we were able to choose the order we wanted to enter the rooms. One or two of the rooms had broken panels or messed up timers so we had to keep time on our phones. I was still impressed with the puzzles and one room had us completely stumped. The discover zone had an entirely dark area to climb through that was fun to navigate. There was also a room with a light wall and magnetic wall to put together tube mazes for balls. I would definitely recommend the mirror maze and discover zone for families with all ages of kids.

They have alot of activities you can do here like the playground, basketball court, tennis court, swings, a nice trail around the lake and many ducks around. They were really cute and thankfully they never messed with us. The park has plenty of parking and everyone I spoke with were really friendly. I even liked how the park have plenty of seats and benches you can sit and relax on. Overall this was a fun day trip and plan to come back here in the near future.

The paths themselves are not difficult at all and plenty of spots to stop and sit at if needed. They have this pond in the middle of the park that had so many ducks and turtles. It was a nice view and enjoyed it very much. I saw many people there with picnics and also someone doing yoga in front of this building i thought was cool. They had these really cool korean buildings/monuments that someone build (artists from Korea but look up the city parks for more details). You can't step inside them but very beautiful to look at. For sure a place worth visiting to just sit and relax at if you like.

This is the first time I've been to the park and can definitely confirm there are alot of different birds here, including ducks. There was plenty of parking thankfully and not overly crowded when we came. The path itself was very easy and you basically walk around this big lake. They also do have plenty of seating around and saw many people there fishing. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that there was alot of trash. Some parts of the trail were decent but you could still see the place isn't really kept up with cleaning which is a shame. Even on the path I saw this random bed spring that was kinda random. Overall it wasn't a bad park but wish they kept it cleaned up would have enjoyed it more.

However, we found so much debris and smell everywhere: mounds of clothing and trash that appears to have been piling up for some time. I see that there was an upgrade done to the park in 2017. Now in 2025, this once beautiful park seems to have been neglected and allowed to be a catchment for homeless people and people not interested in cleaning up after themselves. There was an obvious drug deal happening at one point on the path as well. We saw the volunteer park stewards on their bikes but wondering what input they have to help this poor park.

The game was started with them giving us general rules. And then the fun started! Once in the room, you watch a short video to give you insight into to what your mission is. Once you've started the game, they were in touch via 2-way radio the whole time. And they made clear that anyone could leave the room at any time, and rejoin at any time...which was cool, since we had some people worried about getting claustrophobic. Nobody had to use that option, btw. The clues were hard to find/decipher at times, but they try to lead you in the right direction over the 2 way radio. Plus, they give a certain allotment of clues that you can ask for. Once you get the jist of it, it gets easier......but nothing is simple. To think that Isaac, the owner, came up with the games on his own, is mind blowing! We came within TWO clues of solving the puzzle and escaping......SO CLOSE!!!!! But, we didn't make it :-( 5 more minutes, and would have. If you're looking for a great time with friends,or a team building experience, I would highly recommend! We'll be back for sure!
