Kubota Gardens in summer is a symphony of greens. From verdant light filtering though tall maple leaves, to the dizzying array of both carefully manicured and riotous evergreen specimens, this garden in summer offers peace as well as delight. Lean into your curious nature and let whimsy choose your path through these acres. Then come back in fall for fiery colors, and spring for hundreds of blooms. Each season here is guaranteed to offer new delights.
a fabulous garden - really feels like a hidden gem. a peaceful retreat from the loudness of life, there are plenty of little nooks you can find to take a seat and just observe. free to visit, free to park! several picnic tables available as well as various benches hidden throughout for a quiet place to rest. I thought I wouldn't be able to find a restroom beyond the porta potties near the entrance, but I was relieved to see a fully functioning public restroom located closer to the exit.
Beautiful and surprisingly large garden with winding trails and some steep parts. A huge variety of plants and it was peaceful when I was there. There are quite a lot of signs warning you to take valuables out of your car but I didn't see any break ins or have an issue while I was there.
Such a beautiful Japanese garden in the City. It is vast with many trails to walk, shaded areas thoughout during hot days and plenty picturesque spots for beautiful picture ops. Admission is free and donations are welcome. This is pet friendly and the restrooms are accessible and clean. Would highly recommend.
This place is beyond beautiful! Full of flowers, trees, ponds, bridges, fish, and even a turtle. It was so relaxing and not overcrowded! There is no cost to visit and parking was easy. My child still hasn't stopped asking to go again a week later. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
What a gorgeous day to enjoy this Seattle treasure. My friend and I wandered with no agenda. Lovely discoveries were around every corner. Maps at the entrance if you want one. The park is bigger than you think, so it's a good idea to grab one if you're on a time budget.
It is a pretty neighborhood Japanese garden. It is free entrance. It is well kept and clean. They build restrooms and picnic table areas. There are many spots through out gardens. It is good size for a walk.
I went on a rainy day and thought that it was beautiful. The garden is much bigger than I expected. There are lots of different structures and plants to see. Everything was so green and well taken care of.
