We have been going there for over fourty yeas and yet enjoy it again and again. We had time to kill on this trip and up to the Arboretum it was. Entry is not free anymore as it used to be, but $ 6.00 per Senior, $ 8.00 regular is well worth it. It really is an Oasis within the... More

The Huntington Library is well known for its marvelous botanical gardens. Close by, maybe 25 minutes by surface, 15 by freeway is the stunning LA Arboretum.

The orchid house was absolutely beautiful and the grounds were so pretty, with a waterfall, ponds for the ducks and turtles, and plenty of well-placed benches... More
