Fantastic place to see several impressive bonsai trees in a safe outdoor environment and to learn about the important (and often neglected) history of the Japanese Americans from the local area who were forced to leave behind their homes and businesses as they were locked up in internment camps miles away during WWII.

At my trial-class, the warm welcome I received from non-judgey staff & other members immediately set me at ease. There are members of all shapes, ages, sizes, fitness levels. The community of support & encouragement is unprecedented! Staffing ratio is great - all the personal attention & support I could ask for, without the huge price tag of personal trainers at other gyms. I've had gym memberships before, but never actually WANTED to go. With every class my energy & stamina increase, I'm learning new technique, and making new friends. Now I can't wait to get to my next class - it's fun and addictive!

The garden is beautiful, hands down. It's deceptively large, given how crammed together it appears on first entrance. The entrance fee of $8 a person is maybe a tad steep for a garden, so if you're on a tight budget and this is a secondary spot on your list, it might be worth going to a different, free garden. However, if you're interested in this garden specifically, or rhododendrons more broadly, the price tag is worth it. The parking lot is a short walk away, so be prepared for that.
