I suggest visiting the cherry blossoms in early April if you're around then. They're stunning and it makes for great photos! Just be prepared for crowds during that time.

If you have kids, the playground is awesome, but don't miss the zoo! It's small but free. I was surprised how much my kids loved seeing the animals up close.
