A FANTASTIC experience. It was aittle difficult telling which zone you were in, but the little shop had an amazing selection, and the variety of plantlife in unparalleled. Very cool experience, and definitely recommend checking it out if you have a couple free hours. Just remember to bring that sunscreen!

This place is amazing. Very easy and the people are very kind. Tons of incredible plants from all over the world and some amazing spaces to walk around and explore. A must visit.

This past Saturday 1/8/22 was my first visit. A friend of mines suggested that this would be good place to take pictures using our macro lenses. I was happy we did and plan on revisiting soon.

Hi Janice - Yes! July 5th will be first Tuesday Community Day with Free Admission.

I have Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens and wonder if this will allow free entry to your gardens?
