In agreement with the other postings about the length of time.
Seattle arboretum japanese garden hours. GVC restrooms are open 900 am. The idea for a Japanese Garden in Seattle had formed by 1909 but it wasnt until 1957 that planning for a Japanese Garden in the Arboretum began in earnest. A Japanese Pavilion with an accompanying garden was built for the fair which ignited regional interest in and excitement about Japanese gardens.
Allow a minimum of 1-hour to visit this garden. The Seattle Japanese Garden is a 35 acre 14000 m² Japanese garden in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle. The Japanese Garden is a 35-acre traditional Japanese stroll garden located within the Washington Park Arboretum.
1075 Lake Washington Blvd. The Arboretum at South Seattle College is a 55 acre botanical garden featuring a world class conifer collection. The garden is one of the oldest Japanese gardens in North America and is regarded as one of the most authentic Japanese gardens in the United States.
If you are planning on seeing the Japanese Garden then add more time in. In 1924 the Olmstead Brothers designed the University of Washington Arboretum and by 1937 officials agreed that the Arboretum needed a Japanese Garden. The landscape effects are lovely in any season and the blooms are especially showy in spring.
I actually have gone to the Japanese Garden separately from the arboretum. It is also one of the best places in Seattle for fall foliage effects. E Seattle WA 98112.
You can visit the garden from Tuesday through Sunday starting at 1000am with last admission 45 minutes prior to closing. Please note due to limited staffing these hours are subject to change.
