Well-maintained, super clean and super-informative!. We loved the cell phone info stops along the pathways. A wonderful place to stroll post-Sunday brunch year round. These gardens depend on their members. We will be supporting this non-profit.

Having an art background, I relish the opportunity to visit museums. Normally, Montclair is not on my radar, as I live on Long Island, but because of the current "Matisse and American Art' exhibit, we decided to do a road trip. It was well worth it. The museum appears to have a very diverse and impressive permanent collection, for a small museum, and the fact that they were able to put on this amazing Matisse show was quite a feat. I would highly recommend visiting the museum if you are in the neighborhood or the surrounding area. To be honest, I'm not sure when I will go back, as it is a trip for me, but if they continue to do high-caliber shows like the current one, I will definitely return.

Just siting here today looking at their wonderful water fountain in the middle of the lake. Very surreal, calming and cathartic. Love this park for the benches, landscaping and people watching. You can jog, stroll or have a catch. Beautifully manicured with different foliage blooming each month. Very well maintained.
