Wonderful green haven within the city! Parking was easy, it wasn't too crowded, and they offer a student discount. (We went around 2pm on a Tuesday in May.) The bonsai area and the indoor rainforest areas were probably my favorites. Benches and seating throughout. Also make sure to check out the gift shop! Even if you don't buy anything, it's a pretty cool selection of pottery, hand-crafted goods, jewelry, scarves, books, kids toys. (You don't have to pay for a ticket to go to the gift shop part.)
