Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden

Very beautiful, very well kept. Smaller than expected but it was a great place to experience. No reservations required at least when we went but food cups for fish were sold out. Staff was very polite and helpful. They take pride in caring for the fish and gardens. Read about Koi and the trees, gives you a better sense of the years taken to make the place so beautiful and crazy how long the koi live!

This Japanese garden was a beauty space full of nature, color, and tranquility. It was peaceful the entire time we were here. Quiet to moderate conversations amongst guest, no obnoxious screaming or loud running, and maintenance were well kept. We got the ability to feed the koi fish and so there are many locations including bridges and small delta to the pond where you can hand feed the koi if you preferred. I was so excited to come as it was for my bday and I truly love koi fish. Outside the garden there are Japanese lanterns, restrooms, information center, and a collection of bonsai trees. We also had the ability to take home our own origami. I loved the papers they had.

When the Japanese Garden has special events for the public, it is free for adults, or $10. The parking across in lot 4 will be free. Go online to check it out. Kids day is super fun. The day when they have all the Japanese dolls out is wonderful. I love the koi, the manicured grounds, bridge, the trees and plant. The quiet, the beauty.

This is such a cute little Japanese Garden located inside the Long Beach College. Easy to get there. I recommend you park across the entrance which is lot 4. You do need to pay as they do have the parking security check. It's $6 per hour. You will need make reservations on their website and create an account which totally free as well to go in. They do verify if you have reservations. Its well maintained. It took us about 30 minutes to see all of it but the remaining of the time we were admiring the garden, cute Koi fish and you can also feed them. You will need reservations to feed the Koi. Very peaceful and their staff is very polite. Definitely coming back.

I love visiting this Japanese garden. It's so tranquil and serene and I get to visit my alma mater. Be sure to make reservations. There is a parking lot just across of the garden. Parking will depend on the amount of time to choose.

The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot if you are looking for a peaceful walk surrounded by Japanese foliage and well-maintained landscaping. The garden features a large pond filled with koi, including around 30 big koi and what looks like hundreds of smaller ones they are raising. It is a relaxing place to watch the fish swim by and enjoy the scenery. One of the best parts is that visiting is free, but you do need to make a reservation ahead of time. They allow up to six people per reservation, and they typically do not take walk-ins, so plan ahead before coming. The garden itself is on the smaller side, and the walking path takes about 15 minutes at a casual pace. Still, there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. You will find charming bridges, small waterfalls, lily pads throughout the pond, and even a little Zen garden area. Even though it is compact, the peaceful atmosphere and the well-kept grounds make it a great visit. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and want a quiet, refreshing escape.

Its a very small Garden but well kept and definitely worth the visit. Admission is free but you have to reserve a time on line. They do great at keeping crowds small. Lots of photo spots.

Wonderful, beautiful place to go. It's free, but you can make a donation. It's very tranquil and peaceful with the music and the birds chirping. You could walk around, and it would only take 30 minutes. But it is so pretty you have to sit and take in the views.
