Don't miss the top of the waterfall for the view . Also an often overlooked spot for picnics , reading a book , or playing in the grass. Visit during every season! I especially love late Fall and Winter.
Just when you think you've seen it all, there's more .... And more..... Absolutely the most beautiful gardens . And FREE!
Fujito Kubota, a master gardener & landscaper, gave this park to Seattle in 1987. These splendid acres of lush greenery , feeding ponds & footbridges are painted bright red with gold accents.
Lovely spot for a walk, with plenty of places to sit should you want to enjoy the views . And it's free
A peaceful 20 acre stroll through beautiful foilage and zen-like gardens . The best part is admission is free!
The best thing to do here is to just get lost and immerse yourself...you feel like you're in another world, like in Bridge to Terabithia!
Awesome garden and free. You may see rabbits . Also dogs are allowed.
Kubota Gardens are awesome! Great place to go read a book , enjoy the beautiful japanese gardens or bring a friend and take a walk. Make sure to lock your car, this is a high car prowl area! Read more
Beautiful garden , well maintained. Just surprised it's free to stroll in!
Just beautiful! Leave valuables at home, signs warn about car break-ins
Enjoyable garden but much of it is getting "wild" rather than maintaining the Japanese look.
Free (donations kindly accepted); beautiful inter-urban garden . Excellent for out of towners!
Great place for many great reasons!!!
Must see if you visit Seattle. Plus no admission fee.
Beautiful. Wish they had one in Everett!!!
Bring your camera , a picnic and a date, be prepared for some romance!
Watch for the plant sale- its the best in town
Notice that the timeline of Kubota Garden skipped over the WWII period and his internment? Just a bit too much historical sanitizing, no?
Beuatiful!
don't miss the view from the mountaintop.
Go at twilight and watch for owls.

Because is in the middle of the ghetto, never, seriously, NEVER leave values in your car.
