AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these

Big enough that reviewers spend half a day and still miss things, so wear comfortable shoes. Parking is free but tight at weekends; book tickets online and go on a weekday if you can. Much of it is open sun, with shaded seats and air-conditioned galleries to retreat into. Cafes and hands-on activities on site.

120 acres — pick 2–3 gardens. The Children's Garden and Chinese Garden are family favorites; the free day books out fast.

    What a fantastic place. Bring very comfortable shoes. I could have easily spent an entire day here. My top three favourites are the rose garden, the Chinese garden and the Japanese garden. I loved the fact that it is so spread out and spacious that it never feels crowded, and there were a number of quaint little cafes where one could just sit and rest and contemplate the sheer beauty of this place. I noticed there a few locals with a yearly membership who were coming for a stroll and a grab a hot drink. We interacted with one of the 1100 volunteers at the garden, and had a fantastic time. I hope to come back soon, this place makes me happy from the inside

    This place is awesome, came on a Monday afternoon, will need another day to see the rest! Wasn’t too busy around 1pm on Mon. Parking was free and easy in the designated parking lot. It was hot, prepare to walk in the sun. Lots of shaded areas to sit and museum galleries with AC (Boone, American Art, and European galleries). Went to the cafe towards the end and it was amazing! Huge variety of food and super clean. We got a yogurt parfait, cut pineapples, a carne asada taco, and a tiramisu cake. Would totally recommend visiting with family, friends, and spending the day out here. We also played pokemon go while here, it was super fun and had lots of activity.
