I totally enjoyed the experience. It is a very short journey but the view is amazing and it is a fast way to cross the park. Totally recommend as an attraction.

Nice large tiered park with lots of stray cats and a few dogs. Unfortunately, all the water fountains/falls, except 1, were empty in Dec. So it wasn't as great as the review pics I saw. Maybe they get filled in spring. There is also the sky cable car that you can take from one side to the other. I didn't ride it. It would be very shady in summer as there are a ton of trees. Park has a nice secluded feeling with all the trees and the tiered landscape.
