  Amazing garden; the flowers in bloom were spectacular. The rose garden & waterfall & water areas were just so beautiful. We didn’t have a lot of time, so we only saw one side of the garden. The peacocks near the entrance were absolutely beautiful. Ample, free parking. We went on a Sunday, before Memorial Day. It was crowded, but got a parking right away in the overflow lot & the park is so large, you don’t notice the crowd. They have a cafe & gift shop, but we didn’t have time. Pro tip: There is A LOT of great asian food & groceries nearby. A Sam’s Club is about 15 min away bc the gas in CA is crazy expensive. We will be back!

  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

  We absolutely loved it here! The entry fee is very reasonable for an all day adventure - $13.50. We spent all day indulging in it's serenity. There are multiple gorgeous peacocks that roam the garden which gives you many opportunities to take those selfies or photos. The rose garden was one of my favorite spots with so many colorful and vibrant roses of all kinds. The green house that houses the ferns, orchids, monsteras, & pothos was also very intriguing as the beauty of all the plants seem to grow vibrantly together. It's just spectacular! The café is also very conveniently located for you to replenish & refuel. The menu is light and priced very reasonably. So many trails and be prepared to be encountered by many cute squirrels and enjoy the beautiful melodies of the array of extraordinary birds. We will definitely be back for more, but this time with our children.

  A truly beautiful place with an amazing atmosphere. When you enter for the first time and see the perfectly manicured green lawns, the fountain, the bright peacocks, children running, and happy families everywhere, it feels like stepping into a scene from a childhood picture book — almost like a glimpse of paradise. I enjoyed every moment here. Thank you to everyone who created this place and to all the staff who care for the plants, the grounds, and the environment. Your work brings so much peace and joy to visitors. This was a wonderful experience. Thank you again to all the Arboretum staff.

  This can be considered one of the places with the highest chances of spotting wildlife animals within the city, if you observe carefully and avoid noisy areas or groups. There is parking available (free), and if you go earlier, you’ll have a better chance of finding a spot closer by. I recommend you buying tickets in advance. This place is perfect for walking, wildlife photography, and meditation (you just need to find a quiet spot). These are the species I managed to photograph, not including those I didn’t capture in time. Most commonly, you’ll see peacocks, many birds species, rabbits, turtles, ducks, frogs near the lake, etc. Love this place. Will come back to find more species.
