The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens

“one of my fave places in LA!”

“$175 for unlimited access and additional guest passes, lectures and exhibits! also perfect for friends & family visiting town, or day-date”

“There is an entry fee if you aren’t a member but you can spend a few hours here and roam the 250 acres”

“It’s beyond belief so gorgeous!”

“for the mommas & the aunties & the 26 yr old girls with an old soul”

“Amazing piece. My first time seeing something like this!”

“Because the cactus garden never ceases to feel otherworldly--like a garden on Mars, or, underwater. The Japanese and Chinese gardens calm the nerves, the air-con & art cool the head, gift shop satisfies any merch cravings, kids garden & conservatory is where I lived w/ my toddlers and growing kids, as well as the endless lawns...a safe place to get lost all day. Stay until the guards kick you out. It's fun to feel like a naughty kid there.”

“get tickets! go early! bring a big sun hat and sunscreen and a book and a journal and good walking shoes. it’s bigger than you could possibly imagine and stunning. I spent the most time in the rose garden, finding out there is a kind of rose named popcorn!”

“A rare oasis of green space in the city for your most serene hot girl walk. Touch grass, smell the roses, visit the galleries. I enjoy going alone with a journal just as much as frolicking around with friends, like on my 30th birthday last summer. Sweet date spot (but only if you really, really like them; some things are sacred). Free admission every first Sunday of the month — make sure to book in advance on the previous Thursday morning!”

“the rose garden in bloom is magical; the herbs inspiring; the japanese garden immersive, the cactus garden awe inspiring. great museum too.”

“One of my happy places. The membership is worth it for their desert garden alone.”

“Marriage as a legally binding contract doesn’t really appeal to me, but this marriage certificate from 1815 just might change my mind. Eternally bound by watercolored flowers, sure why not? There are a few certificates on display in the American Folk Art exhibit at the Huntington Library and Gardens. The Huntington offers free entry on one Thursday a month.(also sometimes if you’re nice at the ticket counter, they’ll give you a Free entry guest pass. But you didn’t hear that from me.)”
