Now Open: Kay McFarland Japanese Garden in Topeka, Kansas

Kay McFarland Japanese Garden is open to the public! An intimate ceremony featuring a sake barrel, traditional kimonos, and a Japanese drumming group marked the opening of this exciting new feature for the Topeka Zoo.

This is a jewel that’s very few in our country and it’s here in our community.

Topeka Mayor Michelle De La Isla

In such a large country like the United States, we only have a handful of Japanese gardens like this.
