Over 100 years of rude staff and over priced entry?
From the second we arrived the staff was rude. At the gate when asking about student and military discounts, the young man at the gate sneered and asked if we were going to pay or not. At $30 per person in the off season, with no discounts and no spot to turn around even if we wanted to, we pushed through. Being shoved around by other rude people, pushed out of the way to see different elements of the garden... Even in the off season.
Not impressed at all. Yea the flowers were nice but not worth it. Go downtpwn and walk the waterfront instead it's less expensive and the people are nicer.
