Enjoy the peaceful , serene landscape with a stroll through the Japanese Garden . Attend a tea ceremony on the 3rd Sat of each month. The garden is closed from July through the beginning of Oct.

It was a very relaxed atmosphere to sit and regain some peace , but please listen when they say stay on the paths...stop climbing on the waterfall to take pictures and selfies, very disrespectful

Jeremias Cruz

The events that they do here really sets up an authentic experience of its cultute in all of its glory and beauty. I come here I always feel a sense of serenity and tranquility.

They offer a student discount ! Bring your ID when you visit! And be sure to ask about feeding the Koi!

Cowboy Bill

During perceived busy times they have a sign that says reservations only. Try anyway at the ticket counter. You could also try to reserve at their website for instant access.

Best place to go when you need a break and time to relax. Walking the path gives you time to think and relax without the annoying sound of traffic. Absolutely beautiful place.

Hannah

A great place to bring a date. Feed the koi while holding hands, and take a stroll through the lovely gardens . Pita Jungle is nearby to grab a bite afterwards.

Paul Kvitkovskyi

This is incredibly beautiful and tranquil place right in the middle of downtown Phoenix. Well worth the time and modest cost to get in.

Michelle S

Pretty area to walk around and the koi fish were cool. Overall though it's small and the $10 entrance fee seems steep for a 15 min walk.

Cj Sternisha

Beautiful secluded little park that can transport you over seas without leaving the zip code. Very tranquil and serene .

JK Grence

A stroll through this magnificent garden is well worth the $5 admission. Or, get membership for $30 and you can bring a friend for a whole year!

Danielle
