The Huntington is one of our favorite day trips. The expansive gardens are spectacular, and representative of different types of gardens - desert, Japanese, Chinese, the Rose Garden, the Rain Forest in the Conservatory, the wonderful hands-on Children's Garden - we love them all. A walk around the beautiful grounds are worth the trip, and we even love the art... More

The Huntington Gardens and museum are a wonderful place to visit. I make a point to go every year. I find the best time is aroud Easter, as it is not as hot and the gardens are in gorgeous bloom. There is always something new at the art gallery, and they have very pleasant doscents that are very friendly and... More

The unexpected highpoint of our holiday to LA was a trip to the suburb of San Marino, where you will find the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical gardens. The collections were amassed by a railway magnate who stipulated that after his death they be made available for the pleasure and education of the public. When we visited, the library... More

Memories to last a lifetime. Thoroughly enjoyed the library, its art and the structure of the building. The best came when one entered the gardens. My family's favourite place in California..well, in the greater LA area.

We were awestruck by this stunningly beautiful place. Unfortunately, we had a short time to spend, and we hope to go back when we can take everything in at our leisure. The gardens are fabulous; the buildings lovely; the art collection worthy of our attention--along with an original Gutenberg Bible on display. It's expensive to get in, but it's worth... More

There was so very much to see and we had only a couple of hours to spend. We went to the Japanese, Chinese and Children's Gardens for our visit. The Japanese Gardens were incredibly beautiful with many architectural features, including a bridge over the water, a Zen garden, a number of bonsai specimens, a typical home, and lovely plantings. There... More

This is simply one of my favorite places. The art, gardens and exhibits are world class. The collection of books is extraordinary including a Gutenberg Bible and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The Japanese garden is recently renovated and the new Chinese garden is great. This is a must see when you are in the Pasadena area.

This is a great place where you could easily spend most of a day. The variety of gardens is astounding, our favorite was the Japanese Garden and house but they were all magnificent. In the Chinese garden there is a little food place that serves a variety of Chinese items with outdoor seating near a small lake. The art collection... More
