Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for kids on this tour?

A: There’s no strict minimum age, but kids under 12 get that sweet 50% off deal during July and August! It's a family-friendly tour, so younger ones are definitely welcome. Just keep in mind that the gardens have some areas where they need to be supervised closely.

Q: What's the best time of year to do this tour? Any weather concerns?

A: Honestly, late spring to early fall is prime time! The gardens are in full bloom, and the weather’s pretty nice. Just keep an eye on the forecast since they might postpone if it’s super rainy. Bring light layers, as it can get breezy by the lake.

Q: Is parking available near the tour departure point in Chicago?

A: Yes! There’s usually street parking available, but I recommend checking out nearby garages too. Just make sure to give yourself extra time to find a spot, especially on weekends. Also, look up any possible parking fees in advance.

Just booked the Lake Geneva tour! Any tips?

I’m super excited about the Lake Geneva tour next month! I heard the Anderson Japanese Gardens are breathtaking. I’m thinking about taking my mom as a surprise gift. Does anyone have tips on what to wear? Also, are the boat rides worth it? Just trying to get the best experience!

Thoughts on the Anderson Japanese Gardens experience?

I went on this tour last weekend and absolutely loved it! The gardens are just stunning, and the koi ponds were so relaxing. The snacks provided were a nice touch too. I’m thinking about gifting this to my sister for her birthday. Anyone else had a similar experience? How did your friends/family like it?
