It’s a wonderful place to take a stroll; my family really loved walking around the pond and taking in the lights. The fountain looked great, and the whole area was clean and well-maintained. We also had a blast running up the stairs—it added a fun bit of activity to the visit. The statues scattered around are amazing, but my personal favorite was definitely the tree frog. Highly recommend stopping by if you want a festive and peaceful outing."
