    I love this spot for some quiet time or an intimate wedding. It’s situated right behind the Academy of Sciences and often gets overlooked. It’s gated and serene, and I’ve officiated many beautiful weddings here. There’s a sun dial in the middle and a small plaque and fountain towards the front with a stone bench that adds to the mystique.

    Not much to see in March, maybe not a good time yet for the blooms. Nice spot to sit and chill though.

    I love this little garden. It's fenced off and it's like a private space. It's very quiet and I feel like I was in a movie. However, the benches were in the bushes and the good ones were already taken. Wish they could clean up some so we don't have to sit in literal bushes covered in spiderweb.

    Nice garden. It was wonderful. Saw a couple stop by and took pictures near the dome area. There were artists singing. Very pleasant ambience. Very beautiful trees and fountains. There were also benches to sit on near by and also a few food trucks selling food. Purchased coffee there for $3 and I saw then selling some odnian food too. Very pleasant.

    Great place for a peaceful escape in midst of blooming trees with lots of benches to rest. Visit during the week recommended as it can get crowded on weekends.

    Shakespeare garden is a tiny piece of heaven at the heart of golden gate parc. Squirrels are fighting for sunflower seeds under the good watch of Willy S. Nice to spend the afternoon with crumpets and an earl grey tea :)

    I love how this is a little hidden park, it’s very magical and the squirrels are cute and curious
