"I highly recommend going here! The place is huge. So much to walk around and see. It is very busy though. We tried going on the weekend and there was no place to park. We tried again on a Tuesday and luckily found a spot. I'm unsure if it's always that busy or if it was just that busy because of spring break. We went to the butterfly exhibit which was very beautiful and fun. I think the Japanese garden was particularly stunning. It was so scenic and serene."
