Free parking, with an overflow lot that reviewers still found space in on a crowded Sunday. Peacocks come close, especially near the cafe. It is large enough that most people see only part of it. Mosquitoes gather near the waterfalls, so bring repellent. Cafe and gift shop on site.
Famous free-roaming peacocks and flat, stroller-friendly loops — a reliable, low-key family morning.

LA arboretum is a must see especially for nature lovers. Me personally I came here for the peacocks but i did enjoy the plants, more specifically the african area with a nice little trail. Peacocks litter the area showing off their feathers and there is a lot of other wildlife like geese, bunnys, and squirrels. There is a cafe near the entrance that serves to go foods, breakfast-lunch-and-dinner foods, and coffe/refreshments. If you really want to have the peacock expierience i highly recommend getting something at the cafe cause the peacocks love to show off and grab food from the tourists. Overall 5/5 will be back sometime

One of the more enjoyable outdooray hot day walks I've ever had. There are mosquitos by the waterfalls.. So if you look tasty, I'd wear some bug spray. Other than that, it was super awesome!
