Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at CSULB

On the campus of California State University Long Beach, there is a 1.3-acre sanctuary tucked away called the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden. The garden is a hybrid work of art that mixes Southern California's breathtaking natural beauty with traditional Japanese garden design components. Don't be surprised if you see a large number of kids during your visit because the school commonly uses the garden for discussion groups and small classes.

This living museum-style 1.3-acre garden is intended to bring calm and peace to those who enter. The garden is heavily influenced by the traditional gardens seen in Japan. Children will enjoy investigating the many plants and flowers when they are out and about. In the pond there are Koi fish, and guests can buy food in the garden to feed the Koi.

The Garden is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and on Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It is closed on Mondays and Saturdays. (The Garden is also closed over the winter break and all university holidays.) Admission costs $5 for adults, $4 for CSULB alumni, seniors 65 and older, and active military personnel, $2 for kids ages 4 to 18, and it's free for CSULB students, faculty, and staff for those under 4. The Garden is still currently closed.
