JAPANESE GARDENS REVIEWS
Came here today with some friends to relax, hang out, and do some art. It's nice and relaxing as we sat under one of the overlooks. We could hear the water from the creek and the frogs croaking. Everything was super cute and well taken care of. Plenty of photo opportunities. We even got to witness what was probably a quinceñera photo shoot. I will say, everything remains lovely as long as you don't look at the creek where tons of garbage is strewn about. Also there were no bathrooms. Koi fish pond was full of coins which surprisingly hasn't made the fish look sick yet. Maybe put a sign up that says don't throw coins in the pond?
Definitely worth a visit! Think of it as a contemplative opportunity - the trails are not long, but there are many quiet spots to sit and ponder the beauty.
Wonderful Japanese Garden, amazing to meet a wonderful gardener who has been serving those 4500 plants over 32 years, I believe he is very experienced and knowledgeable on planting. He is nice and gentle to reply the questions,come there Monday through Friday 8:30-4:00 to meet him.

C.E. SMITH MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY REVIEWS
Anthropology Museum, with the student, built exhibits which have spanned multiple anthropological fields. These exhibits are tied closely to the regional intricacies and ethnic groups represented across the campus, and are a work of passion for the CSUEB students; with a great interest in respecting the many communities who contribute invaluable experience, skills, knowledge, and history to the museum.
My baby girl has arrived, a real college student.
Great student/faculty curated small museum.
