Parking is free and plentiful, which reviewers call rare for the area. For kids there is a train ride and a dinosaur and toy train area, plus two food options on site. It involves a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes and water help. Reviewers suggest booking tickets online before you go.
150-acre garden with a kids' enchanted railroad, oak forest, and seasonal blooms.

Spent the day at Descanso Gardens and absolutely loved it! Every path was peaceful, the gardens were beautifully maintained, and there were so many picture-perfect spots. It was the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and recharge. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape without leaving Los Angeles, I definitely recommend visiting. I’ll definitely be back!

There are so many beautiful flowers for every season. The giant trees are amazing! It smells so good there. Lots of trails to see all the different types of plants and flowers. A fun train ride for kids with an amazing dinosaur and toy train area. 2 different options for tasty food.
