Come enjoy the serenity of our “swimming jewels”

Come enjoy the serenity of our “swimming jewels” as they glide through the clear water. Many of our koi are so friendly they’ll swim right up to greet you — and some will even eat from your hand! The pond is open to the public during the day, offering a peaceful spot for reflection, relaxation, and quiet beauty.

You’re welcome to park in the temple parking lot or along River Road. The koi ponds are located on the east side of the temple grounds, along the path leading to the Garuda Aviary. View a map here.

Though the grounds close at dusk, you can enjoy the tranquility of the koi ponds under a full moon in the video below.
