  • Tickets to the Winter Walk are $18 per person, plus the eventbrite ticket-selling platform fee, so $80 for a family of 4. For what was there, we just thought it was overpriced. It’s a half-mile...

  • The entry was so short-staffed that there was only one person taking admission payments AND collecting monies at the gift shop. There was almost no signage as to plantings.

  • Amazing place to walk and see a huge variety of flowers, plants and trees. Even in mid- October it is beautiful. This would be a great place to bring the kids on a warm day and let them run around.....  more

  • Beautiful garden and landscape. It’s also an event venue. We enjoyed walking through the trails. Did scavenger hunts with my kid. Saw historical log cabin, Japanese garden, a pond full of colorful fishes. It’s a nice venue for wedding photography.
  • GORGEOUS!! I found this place by mistake and I’m so glad I did. My family thoroughly enjoyed a lovely relaxed stroll through the gardens on a Sunday a few weeks ago. It’s much larger than I expected it to be and there were a lot of different paved trails we were able to easily push a stroller on. We definitely plan to return. There’s a $6 fee per person.
  • One of my friends discovered this event on-line, and we had a great time! The Winter Walk of Lights was brilliant. Just walk on the paved paths and enjoy the amazing light sculptures. There's also hot & cold beverages and yummy snacks for sale. Would definitely go again.
  • My son took us to this garden last week in mid-December. It was overcast and cold with temperature in late 30s. It was a beautiful big place with lots of great photo spots only could be described by photos like what you see here. Due to the cold weather, we stayed at there for only about half-an-hour with much more left to be seen. We definitely will re-visit this place in summer time to see the landscape in colorful.
  • Beautiful grounds. Small conservatory. I came during the cherry blossoms/nesting season for geese, that was a bit scary lol. They are aggressive! But there are signs warning you. A bit of a hill to come back to the parking lot so keep that in mind if you’re with someone that doesn’t walk well or for long. The bell garden is a site to see! I wish the bonsai collection was on public display at the time I went. Looked impressive!
