"Lovely small Japanese Garden. Large pond but drained when we visited. The stones are varied & beautiful. Also a Sand & Stone Garden next to the Conservatory. Very authentic Tea House."
"Had the pleasure of getting married here! Absolutely gorgeous setting in Saint Paul. Working with the zoo and conservatory was easy and the staff had great communication. Can’t wait to continue enjoying the location for years to come!"
"It’s a lovely Japanese garden. Small but still good to experience the tranquility of a Japanese garden concept."
"This garden is an absolutely beautiful and relaxing place. It’s quiet and refreshing and makes for a great place to take a break from the hectic flow of life. It has lots of beautiful fauna and beautiful ponds and waterfalls in it. And the architecture of it weaves into it quite well and makes it a very immersive and peaceful place. Would definitely recommend."
"Love, Love, Love the Interactive Toddler Program that Como Park Zoo does does over the late fall to early spring months on Thursdays! If you haven’t ever been, give it a try!! It’s a few hours of great play, story time, often a Como Animal joins the party, an Art activity, Sand Table Play, Music...just a great outing for you and your toddler! Parking is sometimes tricky, and the lot is a tiny little hike in winter snow, so plan around those little hiccups, it’s still well worth venturing out for! The Zoo Cafe is so-so, we usually pack our own snacks and beverages, if needed, and plan lunch out from zoo or at home. The Como Zoo gift shop is wonderful and they have some great books and art supplies as well as some really neat and unique educational games, toys, kits etc."
