What a great opportunity to learn more about Buddhist culture. The statues are very ornate and detailed telling a chronological history of Buddha's life. The grounds were very peaceful. And while we did our best to adhere to proper etiquette, no one was there to judge our behavior. Definitely worth an afternoon visit.

Lots to see. Fortunate enough to go inside the temple as they were setting up for a wedding. Loved watching others practice traditional Buddhist prayers while there too.

It's the only BIG Cambodian Buddhist Temple in California with vast land for free parking on Cambodian New Year that's the time you should come with so many foods choices to choose. They usually celebrate 4 days. FREE admission for everyone or school trip.

Buddhist Temple in Stockton, CA. Buddha’s life story is depicted through huge statues in the grounds. A peaceful venue to calm the mind and learn about Gautam Buddha.

Enjoyed the tranquil and pretty much unrestricted access. You are allowed to tour by yourself and they trust you be a good visitor. Lots of space to have a family picnic lunch (bring your own vegetarian food) and facilities are clean.

Very peaceful and spiritual temple close to bay area with little over 1 hr drive. Beautiful place with lots of Lord Buddha's lively statues. We can see the whole journey of Lord buddha from childhood and how and where he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha . We can see the big Bo trees there . . Very well maintained and less crowded. Staff is also very helpful. Temple is beautifully decorated with big Buddha statue . There is a big sleeping Buddha statue. Good place to spend relaxing time with friends and family.

The temple is beautiful. Peaceful and very nice garden. But the restrooms need to be kept cleaned for hygienic point of view and also for a healthy feeling. But rather the restrooms were kept very filthy. The staff should be responsible to take care of it and also specially during Covid times.

Really cool statues and a neat stage that I imagine hosts some pretty cool events. Nothing was going on when we stopped by.

We used to do holidays in Thailand frequently when we lived in Asia, and this temple really makes you feel like you're there! Beautifully maintained, not too busy, peaceful and impressive. Worth a visit, and a unique thing to do in the area.
