I went back to the Forbidden Gardens this past weekend (I have been there many times with various family and friends) and was so glad to see that they sustained minimal damage from the hurricane. I had been worried because the largest of their exhibits are outdoor and thought that they would get blown away but I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. The very tall tour guide was friendly and made the experience all the more enjoyable. There were many distractions that day with crying kids but she never broke in her tour and didnt seem annoyed at all even though some of us were. She informed us that they are working hard during the week to repair the minor damage that they got during the storm so be prepaired to see a few pieces of wooden siding missing from the sides of some of the buildings. All in all it was still a great activity for the day.
Pros: over 2000 years of history in just one hour
Cons: you may have a crying child on your tour
