Amazing place to go see all the native plants in California. Eighty six acres to explore.

Honestly a beautiful place to take a walk and one of the better botanic gardens in Los Angeles or the surrounding areas. I was on my way home to Los Angeles from an appointment out East and luckily had time to stop here and was so glad that I did so. There are plenty of walking paths and beautiful flowers and trees to see although it is a bit more arid than some other botanic gardens it is still really beautiful and somewhere I plan to go back to soon. It was not as busy as some of the other larger ones like Descanso so that was another big bonus. Overall I would recommend to anyone and there’s also hiking paths that crisscross through out it so if you’re interested in doing that I would bring some outdoor shoes but aside from that this is something for all ages and fitness levels.

Great friendly staff, a good place to spend time and commune with nature. We kept hearing we should come back in spring but the flowers were beautiful in September as well!

We really liked this large garden. Took my wife here on mother's day. She loved it. She took photos all the way through the garden. Much much bigger than expected, the garden was however easy to walk. Our kids were able to make it easy as well. Paid 34 bucks for the family's visit. Parking was free. We reserved our tickets prior to visit. One bad thing only one public restroom in the entire garden. Over 2 hours and we probably saw 80% of the garden. Well be back.
