The beautiful gardens have a wonderful lake where the very hungry fish line up at the waters' edge to be fed. Less timid children can even pet the fish!

This is one of those great hidden treasures in the world. The garden is small and cozy and extremely well maintained. But what children love best about this place are the fish. The koi here are so friendly that they come right up to the bank of the pond and kids can pet them. Even our 9 month old baby absolutely loves this place and bounces and kicks just to see 30 fish almost jumping out of the water to get fed.
For a quarter you can get a small handful of fish food to feed the fish which is great fun for kids of any age (including adults).

My son loves this place. He's three and runs around looking at the fish and checking out all the different plants. We come here almost every week and he knows to ask for "the fish place".
