Great stop for a nice stroll through a garden. The bonsai section is free but has a recommended donation of $12 per person at the end. The rhododendron section cost $8 per person but is a nice walk through a garden. Took about an hr to do both.

The bonsai museum is amazing and it's worthwhile to read the information on each piece and possibly find a bonsai your age. It is mostly outdoors, so plan accordingly. These are all amazing pieces of work using a natural, living medium. There are two levels of parking, which is fantastic during the busy days. Donation is suggested and is made very easy using a "Dip" device at the end of the self guided tour.

I actually reviewed this along with the Rhododendron garden. The two are side-by-side, and best done in a single trip. The bonsai trees are wonderful - perhaps the best I've seen and displayed in an uncluttered museum-style. Two were seasonally spectacular - a rhododendron bonsai in full bloom (so a warm pink all over) and a wisteria also in full purple bloom. The museum puts bonsai in the context of the incarceration of Japanese-Americans in WWII. It's very well done. Though the museum is free, there's a suggested donation of $10 per adult.

I went to winter and couldn't see the flowers, but it's a pretty place. However, it was very nice because it was winter because there were not many people. We are looking forward to coming back in the summer and seeing more beautiful flowers and trees in the summer.

Awesome, Thanks Loren
There is a tree from Japan dated as having been started ~1800!!
Entrance to the Bonsai garden is free but a donation is suggested with a pay station at the end of the trail just before the exit. If you would like to visit the rhododendron garden also, you will need to purchase tickets.
Unfortunately, it nor the Rhododendron Species Garden next to it are open on Mondays. Bummer! You should try again another time as both are fabulous!
I don't recall seeing bonsai trees for sale at the gift shop.
No. The adjacent rhododendron garden has a world class collection of rhodies. There is also a great gift shop and they sell plants
