Loved all of it,nice place to spend the afternoon,and well mantained,nice flowers,and not so large that it takes all day to see,very relaxing

There was nothing that I didn't like about this place. Me and my husband got married here and let me tell you, we really enjoyed this place. The koi fish pond and the waterfall are both really BEAUTIFUL. When I meet people that don't have a clue on where they want to get married, first thing I tell them is go to the JAPANESE TEA GARDENS

We visited in early January and most everything was dead but would be GORGEOUS in the spring when everything is in bloom. Was a great walk and wonderful for pictures (check before taking prof. photos to see if allowed). Was in awe from the beauty. And it is FREE and right next to the zoo.

After a visit to the zoo, drove down the street and stopped to see the gardens. Was impressed with the remodel in progress. The stone construction, pagoda, waterfall and koi pond were very impressive. Relaxing atmosphere and it was all free! Great photo spot!

The place is in deplorable condition as of July 2008. There were no benches or tables to sit down on and relax. There were weeds on the paths/walkways and graffiti on an old historic tower (from when it was an active quarry years ago). The ponds appear to be in need of cleaning. The fish in them were few. Those there seemed to be possibly ...

I liked that on my recent weekend visit, I saw not only coy fish growing inches bigger. I love the carefully placed potted lily pad plants. As I strolled along making my way over to the waterfall, I was so excited about the hearty plants. The colors flow through the garden with ease. My favorite if I must pick, would be the all over hearty and full ...

Upon arriving at the top of the walkway I started crying, it was beautiful again. I had memories as a child visiting the gardens and then as a teen when it was in dissarray. Everyone should experience the beauty of this garden. I can't wait to bring others to see it.
