A friend took me to Morikami and shared some insights into the gardens. There is meaning in everything in the gardens so at a minimum you should get the audio tour. If there is a docent tour, you should to that. The gardens should help you relax and release your mind for the time you are there. There is a... more

Spent a day there on a business/pleasure trip in Fla. Near Boca - hidden off the main road - Their website is www.morikami.org We were blown away by the layout and the beauty of the place. It has a variety of Japanese gardens laid out in a large park area along with a small museum of Japanese art and surrounding... more

It's so amazing. I have been three times in the last 4 months and I live two hours away, and can't wait to go again. The peace and quiet are so relaxing and enjoyable I leave feeling I just left from getting a massage. My favorite part is the Bamboo forest, especially if I am the only one walking through... more

This was an excellent place to visit. Museum was so-so; included a ten-minute movie on the museum and life of its founder, George Morikami. There were very few beautiful paintings and lacquer pieces, but what was there was astounding. There was an exhibit regarding what the Japanese do for fun, which was very good, and highly authentic. The gardens, however,... more

We spent about 2hrs here on a saturday morning, but should have spent more. Possibly the most beautiful garden I've ever visited. It all encompasses a fairly large lake, the pathways are manicured with pebbles, picturesque bridges, and the more than frequent bench. Theres not too much color, but the lushness of the gardens, as well as the tranquility the... more

Not only were the gardens beautiful but we appreciated learning the history of the Japanese community in the area. The bonzai garden was one of the best I've seen and feeding the huge koi was fun. The orchid society gardens on the adjacent property were also worth a visit with spectacular orchids in the greenhouse. more

We arrived late in the day, so we didn't have time to do anything except tour the gardens, but I suspect that is the best part anyway. It is difficult to describe in print the effect this place has on the visitor. Don't miss it. more

We visited the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens on April 9, 2005. We started off by attending a tea ceremony. There is one ceremony each month, and we got lucky with ours. It is $5 per person. You walk into a small room, sit down, and a group of 2 people (one playing the host and one playing the guest)... more
