Perfect for Families: During the 'Parenting in the Park Day' on September 22, children up to junior high school age can enter for free, making it an ideal outing for families. The pony experiences are also a huge hit with kids.
Check Bloom Status: To make the most of your visit, we recommend checking the rose blooming status in advance so you don't miss the peak beauty of the season.
