We go once every other weekend!The Tea Pavillion outside of the garden has great affordable food. You can eat on the outside deck while taking in the beautiful views of the canyon/surrounding architecture and listening to peaceful japanese music. It is a must if you go to Balboa Park!OVERALL

I got great ideas!It is small, but My family and I had a great time...We got great ideas on pond decorating and the use of plants with rocks...after we left the garden, we had a late lunch right outside that you can buy there....It didn't take long to get and it was really good....Go, you'll like it.Patty1 of 1 Yahoo!

Smallest Japanese Garden I've ever been toI have to say I was very disappointed in this Japanese Garden. First of all, it's so small it only takes about 10-15 minutes to see it all, and that includes a few minutes at the koi pond. The plants are mediocre, and the landscaping is average at best. Not worth $3.00 to see, but more along the lines of free to $1.00. If you're already at Balboa Park, which is gorgeous,you might include it, but don't make a special trip for it.1 of 3 Yahoo!
