Kids Go Free to Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum!
Discover tranquility and beauty at the Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum in Balboa Park. Families can stroll winding garden paths, admire koi ponds and waterfalls, and explore cultural exhibits that highlight Japanese tradition. This October don’t miss Love Letters from the Heian Period – Emotions in 31 Syllables, curated by Harumi Osawa and on view through Sunday, October 26. The exhibition showcases intimate love letters from the Heian period (794–1185), when romance among the aristocracy was expressed through the elegant art of waka poetry—each composed of just 31 syllables.
During October, up to two children (12 and under) receive Free admission with one full-price paid adult, making it the perfect time to enjoy both the gardens and this special exhibition. Download Coupon Here.
