Lovely garden! It looked so lovely especially with the fall leaves. I might have to say it was one of the best gardens Ive been to and I highly recommend you to check it out if youve never been. As for the cafe inside the garden, the cafe is running with a smaller menu due to covid.

Beautiful garden! Gorgeous fall colors this year. We were there for the Japanese Festival and it was fun! Photos below are inside the Japanese Garden.

Absolutely beautiful. We fed the giant koi fish and took a slow stroll. Super relaxing. Very well-done. Well definitely go back next time were in town.

Good park. Enjoyed a lot. Beautiful sceneries and worth every penny.

Turns out today was my day! And what a beautiful place to pop the question. Thank you to all the Grow volunteers that keep the gardens looking so spectacular!

It was nice and pretty. Was a little small but had really neat landscaping areas. Good to take pictures

I have visited many Japanese Gardens and Botanical Gardens in California, Portland, and Arizona. So far from what I have seen this one has to be my favorite. Usually the Botanical Garden is separate from the Japanese Garden but you get the Botanical Garden, Japanese Garden, and Rainforest Conservatory all in 1 for the price of $12, that is a steal. You for sure need to plan a full day if you want to see everything I spent about 3 hours and that was not enough time.It is so peaceful, pretty, and just a whole different world from the city. I will for sure visit again when I am in Fortworth.

Very enjoyable experience here. Didnt expect rain, but didnt ruin the experience either. Definitely recommend getting the koi fish food (buy the big bag!). If theres a wedding you might miss out on a small section like we did. But dont worry! Theres plenty of paths to explore so plan accordingly to have enough time to take in the atmosphere.

I want to preface this by saying: I have been to Japan, so walking into this garden transported me back to Japan without flying over 18 hours to get there. Its natural aspects reminded me of the nature parts of the country, like you would find in Kyoto or in the countryside. I didnt have time to walk through all of it, but it was absolutely beautiful. Also, its not a 100% accurate replica or representation of the country, but it does give me that feeling.

Amazingly beautiful Japanese garden and a true highlight of any visit to Fort Worth if you are interested in Asian culture or even just want to visit a beautiful garden. On a hot day there is ample shade and the breeze coming off the ponds is refreshing. This is a really calming place and the sound of running water throughout just adds to the tranquility. Definitely a must visit.

Extremely crowded during the Japanese festival weekend. No such thing as social distancing.Absolutely no tables near the food trucks. People were sitting on the curbs and in the parking lots to eat.

Leaves changing colors and great place to get out and get some fresh air. Wanted to feed Koi but didnt find anywhere to get the food.

Amazing display of colors and shapes, extremely easy to navigate around the location

I love the Japanese Gardens. Its so peaceful and designed nice. You can feed the Koi fish and there are little areas you can peel off to the side and rest or relax and enjoy and then hop back on the path around. The plant life also changes color as the seasons change and its really nice to see. Its not really big but I enjoy going several times a year. You can walk around the whole thing in about an hour if you stroll around.

The Japanese garden is an amazing place to view and explore full of great scenes. ( Make sure to check out and feed the koi fish) amazing experience.

Beautiful in the Fall! We real enjoyed being in the garden. Great for Fall photos.

Out-of-this-world getaway. The air super cool due to dense streams and lakes. Ideal place to study, work, and get married.

Perfect way to spend part of my day!Bought a membership to be able to visit as often as possible. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful, large Japanese garden with a zen garden and lots of water features. Loved feeding all the koi fish also.

The Japanese gardens are a truly stunning sight. The gardens are tranquil and the experience of traversing them made me feel as though I were somewhere else entirely than Fort Worth

Wonderful gardens, very well taken care of and beautiful. Beware going on a hot day though, the only good A/C is in the main building.

This Japanese gardens covers 7 and a 1/2 acres. It is perfectly maintained. Very clean and well kept and not crowded on the day we went. The price is more than fair. We spent about 2 hours in this area alone and could not see everything. It is also handicapped and wheelchair accessible. I am handicapped and I really appreciated that. The employees and volunteers were professional polite and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to locals with out of town guests!

This was a step back in memories. It had been approximately 10 years ago I took my grandkids and today I went back with 2 of the 4 I took. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back again sooner than another 10 years.

So beautiful!! We were blown away. So much to see And enjoy.

Had a great time, very picturesque, feed the koi too.

Simply beautiful! My family and I drove four hours to attend a festival here! We were amazed by the beauty! The whole center was well maintained. The maps easy to follow. The staff were also so very helpful and kind!

Lovely garden specially in November.!

Pleasant and relaxing place. Bring coi food.

Love this place, unfortunately they cleared out a bunch of trees at the back part of the gardens a couple years ago and now it is really loud- tons of freeway noise. Whoever thought to do that did not think through how a noisy park is not very peaceful . It is beautiful, though

Beautiful place, lots of cool trees and plants, if youre into that sort of thing. Great place to get away from the noise of every day life for a few hours as well.

Great scenery to take picture and relax. They have plenty of huge kois and turtle you can feed. Would give it a 5star only if the water is clear and tropical looking like the one in San Antionio Japanese garden.

Worth the seven dollars. Its shaded and has the creek running through, to feed the koi. Kids loved all the fish and it was neat to see all the different buildings. Its a great place will go back again over and over. One our favorite places. Great place for everyone.

It pretty but nothing like the one in San Antonio. Its more like a trail park. Or a flower garden.

The most ideal place for contemplation anyone can find in this urban jungle.

BEAUTY. PLANT LIFEWATER FALLSFISH PARADISEDIDNT WANT TO LEAVE

So beautiful and well laid out! Absolutely gorgeous and picturesque!

Currently Butterflies. Go there today. Wonderful, huge garden. Shuttles to jump on to journey to the Japanese garden. I believe they have planted 100,000 tulip bulbs that should be up soon. Butterflies

Beautiful place for a sunny afternoon.

What a gorgeous gem in the heart of Fort Worth- definitely worth visiting - tranquil and peaceful!

The Botanical Gardens are one of Fort Worths best places to visit. I highly recommend it. Its serenity.

Beautiful peaceful place. Took me back to the days I lived in Korea. It’s well shaded so even on a hot day it’s bearable. It is a bit small. It’s not busy at all so you get to enjoy it at your own pace.

The Japanese Gardens are wonderful any time but especially so during the Japanese Fall Festival.

Love love love the landscaping work the management has done here. It is a total different world for someone wanting to enjoy nature in the concrete world. Its a must visit. Every season looks different here! You will not regret.

Beautiful Japanese garden that’s easy to walk. Nice views everywhere.

Im from Japan and it was so nice to see the garden. Small piece of home.

I love visiting new friendship gardens. This one took my breath away. It was stunning. Very well taken care of , not overly populated. Very relaxing and inviting. Will definitely see this garden again. I loved feeding the Koi and turtles and nice to see squirrels playing amongst the trees.

It was nice

I loved this place. I wish it wasn’t an additional charge but the entrance fee keeps the traffic down and it’s very peaceful. Beautiful water features and the greenery is calming. It’s exquisite!

I attended a wedding here and it was really beautiful. This garden took my breath away!

I visited during the Japanese Festival so that comes with pros and cons. Obviously having all the festival spirit and Japanese culture (food/kimonos/decor/etc) enlivens the space, but I definitely want to re-visit when there are no crowds to surround me. Gorgeous grounds and very serene. Looking forward to visiting again next month for the Xmas festivities

Beautiful place to go and relax. You could bring a picnic and enjoy the view. A place to enjoy the beauty of the trees, plants, and landscaping. I loved it. It was 7.00 dollars to get in but well worth it. Absolutely beautiful......

Beautiful landscapes, nice walking paths, and everything is clean and well kept. Almost all of it is completely free and a great place for a relaxing afternoon, a family outing, or date.The Japanese garden and the tropical greenhouse cost a small fee, but are very worth it!

Words cannot express how beautiful this places. I love walking around during all seasons here.

Amazing it was so beautiful and satisfying to walk in and around all the plants and flowers and enjoy the nature the koi fish were beautiful.

One of the most beautiful spots Ive found so far in texas.

The Background of my daughters wedding was Amazing. Gorgeous fall colors throughout the Garden. Beautiful water fall and a large pond with ducks. We really did not need to decorate too much because the entire Atmosphere was Absolutely jaw dropping. The only thing I did not like was they would not allow the flower girls to drop rose petals while walking down the aisle. Also the office that’s books the wedding needs to go over everything and make sure customers understand what they offer and what they do not offer. They told us we had no access to the kitchen but when we arrived we had access to the kitchen. This is extremely important to know when you are cooking the meal yourselves and not a caterer. Very frustrating. The same thing happened with the bridal room . They said it cost extra but we found out it was included. My daughter could have dressed there instead of at home. Again extremely frustrating. Besides the front office not doing their job, everything else was smooth and the grounds were Beautiful.....

Beautiful place to go with friends, a date, or family. I would highly recommend checking this place out. You can really see the care they take of the place. Beautiful pictures to be taken.

Very beautiful in Fall season. Awesome Autumn scenery for photographers. So sad, the moon bridge been closed for so long already.

Beautiful place! I think the entrance fee is $7. You can feed the fish and just enjoy your surroundings. It has been a while since Ive been but there are sculptures bridges. Must see!

Fantastic scenery ️

This place is beautiful. Worth going if you are nearby. It really reminded me Japan so these guys did a good job. Has some trees and a huge lake with qoi fish that you can feed. A quarter is what it take inside the park to get some food from the vending machine. There are many places you can just sit relax and enjoy the nature. Theres also a zen garden over there so that place is really authentic.

This is part of the (usually $12) entrance fee, and they have performed tea ceremonies and a cultural exhibit which had cost more and was limited to a short time frame, which I missed out on now that I looked back. Included is a koi pond, a zen stone (sand) garden, and various pond and waterfall themes, in addition to the Japanese gardening methods. Dont go here thinking its a quick walk just to focus on this area, and instead think of it as the finale to the Ft Worth Botanic Garden, where you will probably need to get a soft drink at the gift shop before heading back to the parking lot before passing out (Its a bit more involved and confusing if you hadnt been here before, and I would plan on about 2-3 hours at the least, especially if you are photographing the place, which I suggest is a good hobby when visiting somewhere like this.)

One of the most beautiful and serene flora settings youll find anywhere. As part of a Sister Cities Program with Japan, many elements have been provided through this partnership for an authentic experience. A wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon.

This place is beautifully maintained. If youre looking for a serene, calm stroll in a park, this is the place to go. My wife and I went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and the Japanese Gardens was included in our ticket and this was our favorite part.Definitely check it out when you find a nice day. When the weather is perfect, go play outside.

Amazingly beautiful & well tended garden, Very peaceful. Tranquil.

As a Japanese, this place made me miss home even more. It was very beautiful and soothing. I was afraid my youngest would get too excited about feeding carp there and fall into the pond which they have several different area to feed. Kids had a great time as well.

So beautiful and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful place. Def worth going to see

A beautiful view and a great place to hang out during these times when social distance is required.

This place is huge and beautiful! Such a lovely place to take a walk in and take photos. It’s super hot in summer but worth it! It’s about 2 mile walk to and from, i think. The garden has so many sections, like the Japanese garden, rose garden and cactus garden etc.

Beautiful. Weve been several times.

This Japanese park always have beautiful colors of the four seasons to enjoy and take photos, as well as the nishikigoi that always exists. Recently I found this to be a great place to sit, walk, and chat and think quietly.A wonderful environment for children and adults is a great place for self-reflection and renewal. Its done very well and is well maintained, it almost always makes you want you to stay longer.Although 90% of the Fort Worth Botanical Garden is open to the public free of charge,you will need to pay a small entrance fee ($7)to see the fall colors of the Japanese garden. Strolling through the gardens, winding pathswill take you through the tranquil landscapes and water features. The garden is made up of 7 people. Covering 5 acres of cherry trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, bamboos, bridges and ponds, there are more than 1,200 koi fish.The garden is an autumn festival where you can enjoy traditional Japanese dance, martial arts, sword show, raku pottery and traditional tea ceremony.

Such an amazing peaceful place... Spend the extra money for fish food... Youre welcome.

Beautiful, tranquil place with a lot to see. Many types of plants I have never seen locally.Be prepared to be in close proximity to water snakes. The ones I saw were harmless but I wasnt expecting them and almost stepped on one that was sunning itself on a stone path.

No running was done today! I could not run pass the beautiful sights! I just blissfully walked for an hour taking in the beauty of this place! I then felt sad when I had to leave! I have to come back to the Japanese Gardens in Spring when the cherry blossoms and magnolia trees are in full bloom!

This is one of our favorite places to go and relax and enjoy nature. My family loves visiting the japanese gardens and feeding the coy fish. Its so relaxing and beautiful. Its become a family tradition to go every spring

Beautiful peacefully Zen, great place to walk with your kids or alone for plane relaxation. The Koi fish are fun to feed.

Beautiful and peaceful! So many gorgeous koi fish!

Lovely place for a date, family outing and photos

Absolutely beautiful garden! I had my (small) wedding here last year, and it was a great experience. There are so many places in the garden to just stop and soak in the beauty--small details abound, from the abundant cypress knees to the well-placed shrines. Its also very well-shaded, so its entirely enjoyable even in the middle of Texas summer heat.

Its a very good place for fall colors

Koi, multiple water features, wonderful shady areas to walk and sit.

Beautiful enchanted place to enjoy peaceful walks.

This was, has been, and still is a beautiful hidden jewel just south of downtown Fort Worth. Plenty of beautiful landscape, fish ponds, and cultural history. A nice place to relax and enjoy serenity.

Love this Japanese themed garden! While not huge or extremely diverse, its definitely worth a visit and very beautiful.

A zen experience. Highly recommended!

The most beautiful thing. It is lovely and peaceful! You can taste a little bit of Japan here!

Really nice garden. You can buy food to feedback koi’s and the turtles. At first glance it seams small but when you enter and walk the grounds it is pretty big. The water and the vegetation creates a mood of peace and meditation. I suppose that in March it would look amazing with cherry trees blossoming.

I love the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, and their Japanese Gardens as well. Beautifully done. Peaceful. Elegant.

Coy pond is lush, bamboo Grove is great. Very tranquil place to chill.

That was my first time at the Japanese garden so I liked it a lot of people there it was not a good place for social distancing but it was still a nice day

Absolutely beautiful! Only downside is that most water fountains are closed because 0f Covid which is rough in a Texas summer.

So relaxing. Loved feeding the fish!

It was a REALLY beautiful place. We went in September so it was kinda hot. But it was still worth it. You have to pay to get in. You can buy a bottle of water and fish food to feed the Koi Fish. I will definitely be going back.

Beautiful and serene. Very photogenic.

Beautiful place. Glade me and my wife swung by

Not sure what was Japanese garden and Botanical garden, both were beautiful

It will be better in April when the cherry trees blossom. But it is a beautiful place, very peaceful.

Everyone who lives in the DFW metroplex must make it a point to visit this place.

This place defiantly worth the $7 entrance fee. The coy fish are huge! Its one of the most peaceful places Ive been to.
