Very nice park and perfect for introverts as it is self guided, but they also provide a sign with a tour on our phone. Very pretty garden and very well built. We came around the fall season, so the view was very colorful despite the lack of flowers! This garden is a perfect place for dates, hangouts, and selfcare days. Definitely recommend coming here!

The Van Vleck House and Gardens offers a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop perfect for any special occasion. As a photographer, I find every corner of this estate a photogenic paradise—from the meticulously maintained gardens bursting with seasonal colors to the charming, historic architecture of the house itself. The serene ambiance and natural beauty provide an idyllic setting for engagements and weddings. It's a hidden gem in Montclair that turns any event into a fairy tale.

Very nice park! The two fountains are nice to look at and the paths are nice and well kept. I went around the beginning of September and there were still lots of plants and flowers to see. There's plenty of benches to sit on.

Small intimate garden delightfully landscaped. Lots of child friendly activities during our visit. Today there was a small animal show and tell, Montclair Arts Museum arts and crafts, and a sensory experience of dance and music.

Wasn’t sure if the place would like nice around end of April but it was actually beautiful and a perfect spot to take photos, especially if you need a spot for weddings or birthday.. It’s so beautiful this time of year and there’s so much to discover in the area. Very quiet and peaceful. You could definitely spend an hour here just finding some solitude. It’s completely free too.

Great garden sanctuary to decompress and be present. They offer various educational programs throughout the year, including family-friendly events. Professional Photographers must get permission. Get local honey here too!
