When you walk through this beautiful garden, you may come upon a giant green archway. Wandering through this tunnel will feel like tumbling down the rabbit hole and entering Wonderland. 

There's even a giant mushroom hidden in the garden that will make you feel just like Alice. Stand below this whimsical structure, and you'll look miniature in comparison. Then find the fairy forest full of blue shrooms, and you can sit on them just like the caterpillar in Wonderland.
