MariaAugust 10, 2014Looooved it! Beautiful place, not too many people around (no lines!), surely worth a visit.
Trae FNovember 8, 2015The colors are stunning in the Autumn. Just meander and find the Noguchi sculptures throughout.
Rochelle GreenApril 8, 2012Walk with your student ID! Nice place for a picnic :-) and the Japanese garden and cherry blossom esplanade is the best!
The cafe here is incredible. Just make sure you come to the garden on an off day in order to get a table and peace and quiet.

The Organic View RadioMarch 1, 2011One of the most beautiful places on earth! There are activities for all ages! Always a fun time!
Free on Tuesdays, but membership is relatively cheap and gets you in free every day. Worth it to have unlimited access to, you know, plants and stuff.
This is the most appropriate place in the neighborhood to join a swarm.

Paige CApril 29, 2015DO NOT COME HERE DURING THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL. First of all, the trees were not blossomed! It was way too crowded, ticket prices are inflated and the food was WAY too expensive for garbage!

ArjeeApril 26, 2011The security guards are assholes well the younger ones, the older ones are pretty cool. But yeah don't sit on the grassland by the eastern pkwy entrance, big no no. Cherry blossoms are where it's at!
@sloaneAugust 21, 2010Don't miss the native flora garden near the entrance. It's the oldest part of the whole gardens and a great semi-hidden spot.
