What works
Consistently well reviewed
4.6 stars held across 11,146 reviews is not a fluke — people keep going back.
A genuine local landmark
11,146 reviews is the kind of number a place only reaches when the whole city knows it.
Open every day
The same hours all week (6:00 AM – 1:00 AM), so there is no schedule to memorise.
Dogs welcome
Listed as dog-friendly — bring the leash and waste bags anyway.
Works with kids
Flagged as family-friendly, which usually means room to run and somewhere for the adults to sit.
Worth knowing first
Parking is undocumented

Popular enough to be busy

Strongly seasonal
What is in bloom drives the whole visit. In winter this is a barer, much quieter place than the photographs suggest.
