何度も訪れていますが、いつ見ても満足できる牡丹園です。春夏秋冬それぞれで楽しめるので何度も訪問する価値があります。今回は天竺牡丹のイベント中（一年で一番好きなイベントです）。池に浮いている天竺牡丹は写真好きにはたまらないのではないでしょうか。皆さんスマホやカメラを片手に散策しておられました。日が当たる時間はあまりの鮮やかさにずっとその場にいたくなるほどです。混雑する時間帯は撮影やその場で眺めていたい人で人の流れが悪くなりそうです。写真を撮りたい方は人の少ない日時を選択されたほうがよさそうです。牡丹園ですが牡丹だけでなく季節の花を楽しめ、園内は庭園になっているので散策に丁度良いです。高低差もほとんどないのもありがたい。【県外観光者さん向け】お食事はできますが懐石料理がメインなのでお手軽に食事したい人には向かないかもしれません基本庭園を歩き回ることになるので雨の日は厳しいと思います。近くにある足立美術館同様、喫茶には庭園の風景を眺められる大きな窓があるため気持ちよくお茶できます。駐車場は十分にスペースが取られているので安心できます。園内の雑貨屋さんは意外とそそられるものがあります。

家族で島根旅行で訪れました。ちょうどこびと図鑑のイベントをやっており、小さいお子様連れの家族が多く、賑やかでした。我が家の子が小さい頃流行ったので、懐かしく思いながらまわりました。(今また流行っているのでしょうか) 庭はとてもきれいに整備されていて、素晴らしかったです。カフェ、お土産やさんと一緒に高麗人参館があり、試飲させていただきました。漢方の割に飲みやすいと思いましたが、お高いのでお土産に入浴剤を購入。建物自体が新しくきれいでしたが、中でもおトイレが観光施設にしては豪華！入り口からお土産やさんまでが一方通行でしたが、息子がもう一周してもいいね！というくらい良かったです。またいつかお花がきれいな時に来たいです。

お花の時期以外に行きましたが、手入れの行き届いた日本庭園だけでも見る価値はありました。入り口付近で高麗人参茶の試飲もあります。レストランのお料理はヘルシーな和食でとてもおいしかったです。お土産の種類も豊富で、喜ばれそうな品ばかりでした。
