豫园原来是明代四川布政使上海人潘允端为了侍奉他的父亲——明嘉靖年间的尚书潘恩而建造的,取“豫悦老亲”之意,故名为“豫园”。
豫园从明嘉靖三十八年(公元1559年)开始兴建,至明神宗万历五年(公元1577年)完成,前后共用了18年时间。
占地70余亩。
17世纪中叶,潘氏的后裔逐渐衰落,园林也逐渐荒废。
到清乾隆二十五年(公元1760年),由该地的人士集资购得豫园的一部分,并重新进行整理。
清道光年间(公元1821-1850年)豫园因年久失修,当时的地方官通令各同业公所分管并作为议事的地方,共有21个行业各占一区,自行修葺。
道光二十二年(公元1842年)鸦片战争期间,英军入侵上海,盘踞在城隍庙5日,园林遭受到了严重的破坏。
咸丰十年(公元1860年),清政府勾结帝国主义镇压太平天国革命,英法军队又侵入城隍庙,造成了更大的破坏。
新中国成立以后,自1956年起开始整修,恢复了30多亩园景。

入园不久就可以看到一座大型假山,层峦叠嶂,清泉飞瀑,完若真景。
假山以武康黄石叠成,出自江南著名的叠山家张南阳之手,享有“江南假山之冠”美誉。
“萃秀堂”是假山区的主要建筑物,位于假山的东麓,面山而筑。
自萃秀堂绕过花廊,入山路,有明代祝枝山所书的“溪山清赏”石刻。
到达山顶时有一个平台,于此四望,全园景物,一览无余。
