John-

The Chinese pavilion is closed for renovation at the moment. I was there just a couple of weeks ago but they could have already moved some of the trees. The tropical house does not change much, that is open as is the japanese pavilion. Its gorgeous even during a renovation in the wintertime. I would reccomend getting a ride via a colleage/friend or rent one of those cars by the hour. Its not in the city but more on the edge of it surrounding by crummy neighborhgoods. Also an important thing to know is the bonsai exhibit area is only open from 10am - 3pm. On a related note-there is no where else in the world where there are so many museums and Galleries that are free to the public. Enjoy!
