I will never go back here again and would suggest no one go here as well. I have never been anywhere where the staff was so rude and aggressive because our children were running around in an open area outside. Yes outside God forbid. It ruined what was supposed to be a pleasant family outing.

Worth a few hours for relaxation and gorgeous landscaping. Also has a wonderful restaurant on site. Quite a bit of walking. I don't know how handicapped accessible it is.

Lovely. We walked around the property on their paved walkway through the greenery and around the lake and it was lovely even though hot as blazes that day. Very nice gift shop with a wide range of items. Nice cafe. Never made it into the Museum.

The Morikami gardens are a beautiful collection of Japanese landscaping. In a very peaceful and serene backdrop, one can learn many aspects of Japanese life, and enjoy an amazing array of plant and animal life. Highlights include the bamboo garden, where one hears the calming sound of the bamboo stalks hitting together in the breeze, and the newly designed Bonsai... More

Beautiful nature around every corner in this park. Walking trails feature Japanese gardens and one of the largest collections of fantastic Bonsai's and water features. The lovely museum will tell you the history of the Japanese in Florida and how they converted it to paradise. Not to be missed!

Very impressed with the gardens and surprisingly with the educational aspect as well. The beauty is one aspect-the serenity of the gardens and the bamboo (forest) is captivating-unequaled in city life. I was impressed with the festivals offered to further experience the Japanese culture. I do not live in Florida however, my son intends to take advantage of the opportunities.... More

We liked it so much, we came back for more after... More

Morikami is a zen oasis which is a cultural experience. Enjoy the activities are presented, especially the tea ceremony. The area is a perfect afternoon visit and there are areas for meditation.
