Can Anybody translate this sign for me? I was visiting the Ordway Gardens at Como Zoo in St. Paul and am just curious as to what it says.

Wrong subreddit.

梅麗亭 (méi lì tìng) based on traditional hanzi. 梅 Is plum/apricot and 亭 is pavilion so the closest I can guess is plum/apricot pavilion.
The 2nd word I am not sure... 麗/丽(Simplified chinese) doesn't fit in somehow in this phrase, the closest I know of is 美丽 měi lì which is beautiful. In that case it may be a wordplay of plum/apricot + beautiful pavilion in that zoo.
It might mean differently in Japanese since I am understanding it from a Mandarin speaker perspective:)

Based on the individual kanji meanings, and seeing at it is a sign indicating a place, and an old one.. would it mean something like "Ume (plums) observation/appreciation point/stop" maybe?
EDIT: whoever downvoted care to elaborate? I was trying to help ffs

You're probably getting downvoted because this isn't r/Translator.
