Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens
On the former San Marino Ranch just outside of Pasadena, the 130 planted acres of the Botanical Gardens at the Huntington Library include 16 themed gardens and a conservatory. This is one of the The Most Beautiful Botanical Gardens In L.A. In the Garden of Flowering Fragrance, there are more than 15,000 plants from all over the world, as well as a 1.5-lake, a teahouse, and waterfalls, while one of the largest collections of cactus and succulents in the world can be found in the Desert Garden. Themed gardens include one of the largest outdoor collections of cactus and succulents in the world, as well as collections of Shakespearean and native plants of the state. On 120 acres, there are sixteen themed gardens for families. Discover many gardens, including the ones in Australia, California, Japan, the Herb Garden, and the Rose Garden. Additionally, make sure to schedule some time in the Children's Garden.
Children of all ages are able to "splash in water, play among topiary animals, make music with stones, dance under rainbows, find fairy doors, and hold the enchantment of magnetic forces in their hands" at this location. Every day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, The Huntington is open; however, Tuesdays are closed.
You might easily spend the entire day in the gardens, but the Huntington Library's large art collection and illustrated manuscripts, including a Gutenberg Bible, are also worthwhile visits. There are paid garden walking tours available.
