These gardens are a must see in LA. Don't miss the desert gardenm the ponds and the rose garden. Arrive early because parking fills fast.

If you are looking for alternative LA then make sure you have this place on your itinerary. The Huntington's gardens are spectacular, outstanding and amazing! The variety of themed gardens are very impressive and you really don't have to be a horticulturist to appreciate what's on offer. I've never seen so many unusual species under one roof.

This is a beautiful Library/Museum and I've been coming to the gardens since childhood. This time I came on a Friday and the gardens openned at noon, so it was pretty hot walking through the enormous grounds, and I spent a considerable time in two areas, the succulents & cactus gardens- most of which were in full flower (late April)-...

If you come to Los Angeles and you enjoy flowers, history and serenity it is a must. Book tickets 2 months in advance.

Although I travel to LA a lot, I had not been to Huntington Gardens again until this March. What an amazing, gorgeous, life-affirming place! Neither my friend nor my daughter nor I could get enough of it. The gardens were spectacular - natural, beautifully kept, and varied. My breath was taken away by the desert garden and the Japanese garden... More

This is a MUST SEE destination for anyone craving some beauty and relaxation. I have nice memories of strolling around this place and entering it's gift shop. If I can remember anything, it must be wonderful. I remember statues worth photographing and a special locket I had wanted to buy at their pretty gift shop. Lots of trees and plants,... More
