I love this place. It is a beautifully kept place that inspires peace and tranquility. Gone there with family and friends and enjoyed every minute of it. The only regret is not living nearby so as to be an annual member and go there every day to jog or walk.

We were there for some sort of fair, but we got a chance to walk around and really enjoyed the grounds.

This is a relaxing place to walk through lovely gardens. It is very pretty, and very different from anything else in South Florida.

These gardens are very nicely laid out and there's nothing actively offensive about them but I suppose my mental expectation was of something along the lines of the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, which is sublime . These gardens are much larger and therefore less intimate. The bonsai collection is a highlight but isn't really laid out in a... More

Not to be missed place in Florida. Tranquil, peaceful Japanese gardens. Also there is a cafe to have lunch in and a house that replicates life in Japan. History also of the family that came to America and created this garden.

We ate lunch in the Cornell restaurant on site prior to taking our walk of the grounds. The ever-threatening rain held off the time we were there. The grounds are immaculately maintained and the plants... More
