PLEASE BE ADVISED:
Sunday, December 4, 2022: Pacific Bonsai Museum will be closed today due to dangerously icy conditions and cold temperatures. We will have the bonsai’s winter enclosures fully covered all day, so they will be off-display. We regret any inconvenience to those of you who hoped to visit today. We hope to see you another day. Thank you for your understanding!
