The Japanese Garden, Lake Balboa CA

It's a beautiful, relaxing place to spend time. Why are they still closed, and when will they finally reopen? Anyone know? They've said they were reopening with reservations for quite a while, and as far as I know they haven't. I mean, bars are already reopened. Why not the Japanese Garden?

Simply beautiful! Unfortunately, closed at this time but awaiting their reopening! Can't wait to go back!

This is a wonderful place if you love flowers and landscapes️ good atmosphere, very clean and peaceful, good for your first date if you want to impress her, I will definitely return! ️️️

Absolutely beautiful place. Not too big not to small. A great place for a little family outing or just to go relax.

One of the best places to visit and get balanced or ponder about things. Also the setting for many motion pictures, tv shows, commercials, etc. It's amazing.

I rather enjoy visiting the serenity of this garden. The hours are irregular, so make sure to check.

Wonderful place to relax, walk and chill. Take your family and friends. There is a lot of spots to make beautiful pictures in the Japanese garden. Definitely recommend to visit the place. Enter for one person coat $5.

Lovely place to visit gardens and wildlife, though expect a lot of air traffic noise. Was surprised to see that it was used as the set for Star Trek's Star Fleet Academy, lol!

It's a beautiful place to relax (if there aren't parent's letting their kids climb over the trees and stomping on stuff they shouldn't)

It was an okay time. $5 per person isn't too bad, but there isn't much to do if you're just walking around.

This is a great place to come if you're an artist and want to draw or paint.

Beautiful place, depending on time of year it can get extra filled with bugs which can be expected with nature. The smell is a bit bad but expected since they recycle water next door and use it for the garden.

A great place to visit for an hour or so. It has such a wide variety of beautiful plants and birds. There is also a water plant that renews used water for their park that you can view.

Cashier didn't know what she was doing and kept blaming the machine. Probably waited about 20 mins just to pay to get in. The garden is beautiful I just wish it had more shaded areas. Good place for photos.

Small and quaint, this was a great place to stop off during my day north of LA. Sometimes you can smell the nearby water recycling center.

Great place to hang out with friends, you can take a walk, bike riding or just chill on the grass, so peaceful place.

It's a nice and small and simple garden. The security is very strict, they kick you out right at 4pm.
They have a big gated parking lot and it's so easy to find a parking space.
The entrance is $5 per person. You need to buy the ticket at the gift shop, they give you an green sticker, that you should put it on your clothes to go to the garden.
No snack is allowed, just you can have bottle of water in the park, which you don't needed since the garden is so small and you can go in and out if youneed anything from your car.
To see all of the garden it doesn't take more than 20mim. But if you find a seat, it's good to seat, enjoy the view and relaxing.

Beautiful and well kept. Very peaceful garden. I didn't attend the guided tour because I went for leisure with my babes. It made our list as one of our go-to spots for a romantic walk.

It's a beautiful place to take pictures at. The Garden is kept very clean. Not many visitors when I went in. There's parking available inside. Admission fee is reasonable. Tripods are not allowed inside. There's other rules you can read before you go inside the garden.

Great park to go spend some quality time with friends and family, we always have birthday parties there, it's so quite and peaceful.

Small and quaint, this was a great place to stop off during my day north of LA. My husband, parents and I took family pictures here for our wedding slide show. Beautiful area, fun place to take the family or a significant other.
