- Sherryl A8 contributionsWonderfully Christmas Lights and to music. My boyfriend was very impressed with his first ever visit being at a Japaneese garden at night of all times! He is excited to see this in the spring.
Definitely a local favorite but a beautiful garden with a great walking path. If you need to get your steps in this would be a great way to do easy walking with some slopes.

- Terry V LucasEdinburgh, UK33 contributionsI have been to the bathhouse years ago and decided to relive the experience. Very therapeutic and relaxing time which includes hot soaking baths, cold ice bath and a short massage. There are various types of bath options to select They have lockers available to store wallets, phones keys etc. The staff is attentive and helpful. I could have selected a longer massage session but my friends had other things to do. Metered parking and free parking both are available close by. They do provide towels and robes.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Louis FAltus, OK1,255 contributionsProbably some of the most expansive views you will get in the area. Also some of the best views you will get. Worth the price and you can’t get that high anywhere else. The wasps were there but did not bother anyone. The elevator mentioned in some reviews wasn’t scary either.Written 24 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah STomball, TX90 contributionsEasy to find and centrally located. Guide was personable and knowledgeable. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the group size was small enough to not be crowded but large enough to be a little interactive. I would recommend calling ahead for tour times if you are worried about waiting. Lots of history about the gangster connections to the area. Definitely worth a visit.Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
