We were there for some sort of fair, but we got a chance to walk around and really enjoyed the grounds. More

These gardens are very nicely laid out and there's nothing actively offensive about them but I suppose my mental expectation was of something along the lines of the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, which is sublime . These gardens are much larger and therefore less intimate. The bonsai collection is a highlight but isn't really laid out in a... More

Not to be missed place in Florida. Tranquil, peaceful Japanese gardens. Also there is a cafe to have lunch in and a house that replicates life in Japan. History also of the family that came to America and created this garden. More

My wife recommended this experience. We visited on a weekday in early May. Despite the midday temperatures and humidity, our time was relaxing and pleasant. We ate lunch in the Cornell restaurant on site prior to taking our walk of the grounds. The ever-threatening rain held off the time we were there. The grounds are immaculately maintained and the plants... More

This garden and museum is the closest to visiting Japan in the U.S,! A must see when in South Florida! Bring your friends and relatives when they come to Florida or just go and meditate in the lovely gardens, hike through the forest surrounding the gardens, enjoy the season's traditional festivals held there every year, learn about a tea ceremony,or...

Went to this place today and I am highly impressed. They have real nice Japanese art museum with an impeccable almost mile long outdoor Japanese garden. The lakes and water falls and gardens are very visually therapuetic. They have also recreated a typical japanese house, so you can experience the lifestyle, even seats from their high speed rail, and their... More
