5 /5 Nurse Ford: A Hidden Gem – A Perfect Day for the Whole Family!
We recently visited Morikami Japanese Gardens, and I can’t say enough good things about it. My three children absolutely loved the experience! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by peaceful, beautifully maintained landscapes that felt like stepping into another world.
The gardens are stunning — a perfect blend of nature, water features, and traditional Japanese design. The paths are easy to walk, even for little ones, and there are so many spots to stop, explore, and just take in the scenery. My kids were fascinated by the koi fish ponds, the stone lanterns, and the little bridges throughout the park.
It’s both peaceful and engaging, which is a rare combination when you’re traveling with children! They had so much fun while also learning about Japanese culture and nature. There was plenty of shade, clean facilities, and spots to sit and relax — all of which made the experience enjoyable for us as parents, too.
Highly recommend Morikami for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to spend a beautiful day outdoors. We’ll definitely be coming back!
