11:00am - STROLL

Pick up an audio tour ($3 rental at the Museum Store (http://morika.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=morikami_store_home)) to guide you through the six authentic Japanese gardens (http://www.morikami.org/gardens/historical-gardens/), or check out the free tour of the museum and gardens for smart phones at http://www.morikami.org/tour . Of course, you can choose to simply savor the natural soundtrack. The mile-long path is also a trip through time; each garden represents a style unique to the 9th through the 20th century, from sprawling greenery to serene rock gardens.
