Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden

The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a traditional Japanese-style garden located on the California State University, Long Beach campus. Admission to the garden is free for all visitors, though reservations are required in advance. The garden features paved, level pathways throughout much of the grounds, making it navigable for wheelchair users and visitors with mobility aids. Accessible restrooms are available on site, and accessible parking is located nearby on the CSULB campus.

Visitors are encouraged to call ahead or book via the garden’s mobile app or online portal to confirm hours, as the garden is frequently closed for private events and programs. Service animals are welcome throughout the garden in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Visitors note that while the main pathways are paved and relatively flat, some areas near the pond and garden edges involve uneven or natural surfaces that may be more challenging for wheelchair users. The garden’s compact, peaceful setting is generally described as calm and uncrowded, particularly on weekday mornings.
