Fall at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

The transition from summer to fall at Kenilworth is a sight to behold!

The lotus and lilies will continue until the end of September before they fade away and the old lily pads turn brown and disappear. The lotus seed pods will also turn brown and release their seeds to the bottom of the ponds. The seeds will be dormant for the winter.

Fall is an excellent time to see migratory birds flying through the park. Egrets will hang around until late October before they fly south for the winter. As the crowds slow down, it is a great time to see turtles, frogs and snakes before the coming of winter. Come out and visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens!

We are open year-round

Check current park hours.

We are excited to welcome you to the gardens!
