Your children will love feeding the koi fish and turtles. Make sure to come with an appetite because the Cornell Cafe has a great selection of sushi and other traditional Japanese foods. One of m favorite parts of any museum has to be the gift shop! And this one had beautiful Japanese plates, tea sets and lanterns. My daughter loved all of the funky kids toys and Hello Kitty items.
