This was a relaxing walk in the park, even in December. The rose garden was nice, the trails were clear and easy to follow. It was not overcrowded, so it felt calm and intimate. The price was fair and the restrooms were clean and easy to find. Parking was easy too. Nice place to visit and walk around.

Love this place! Great for a long walk with friends and family. Super kid friendly. The peacocks are beautiful and mischievous. My favorite walk is through the ancient forest. If you’re lucky at sunset you’ll catch white herons resting in a shaded and hidden corner of the pond. I can’t wait to go back.

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, 127 acres ,was founded in 1947. Admission is a bargain at only 15.00 per person. Students with ID & Seniors: 11.00. Children age 5-12:5.00, and children under 4 years: Free. We were so thrilled that they were still open during the Pandemic, because it's so hard to find anything open. Parking is free- a great bonus! There is a lot of walking, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes. Masks are required, but Arboretum staff aren't patrolling the grounds on mask patrol- which was nice. The Meyberg Waterfall is majestic, and the focal point of the venue. There is seating near the waterfall, where we relished the peacefulness. An additional bonus: it was quite warm on the day we visited, and the waterfall distributed a wonderful cool breeze. The Rose Garden didn't have many flowers in bloom, due to the season, but I imagine it's amazing in Spring/Summer. We were looking forward to the orchids in the Tropical Greenhouse, but it was closed. The gift shop was open, and we went inside to purchase cold water. There was a lot of great browsing opportunities, but the store was already at capacity due to Covid guidelines. There are many wonderful trees with species from all over the world. Peacocks roam freely throughout the property, adding a delightful splash of color. The Peacock Cafe looked lovely, but we didn't visit because it was take out only, due to the Pandemic. My only critique would be that the signage be better. Maps weren't available at the front gate, and we weren't sure where we were at a few times. I am wholeheartedly give the Arboretum 5 Stars for being a wonderful place for families and couples to get some fresh air and exercise and ESPECIALLY during Covid. There are many beautiful things to experience at a very reasonable admission price.

What a relief to walk in the park. I was stressed out with the second locked down. Luckily, the Arboretum is still open to the public. We took a walk inside and to enjoy the various plants and flowers. Even though, it is the fall now, there are still nice plants and flowers to see here. I like fall colors with the trees turning golden yellow. You can just let yourself loose here and totally forget there is a pandemic going on right now. With the many peacocks roaming around, we felt like we were in the wilderness. While enjoying the beauty of the arboretum, we got our exercises of the day done too. This is a great place to have a daily walk. For those of you want to come here on the regular basis, you can get an annual membership. For those of you just want to come once awhile, you can come on the third Tuesday of the month and get a free entry, but you have to make a reservation online. Parking is plenty. Besides the main parking lot, there are two other auxiliary parking lots next to the Arboretum. Each New Year, the Arboretum has a moon light exhibition where the park is filled with theme animals lit up with lights. But unfortunately, due to Covid-19, this year’s light show was canceled. Hopefully we can see that in 2021.
