Golden Gate Park’s Japanese Tea Garden opens its gates for free admission every May 25th at 9:00 am. This is your chance to explore the garden’s beautiful pathways, traditional architecture, and carefully curated plantings without paying the usual entrance fee. The garden is a tranquil escape featuring authentic Japanese landscape design, including stone lanterns, bridges, and a tea house. Arrive early to soak in the morning calm before the garden gets busier later in the day.
