Something for Everyone. Great art, beautiful gardens, traditional tea room, great for whole family. It's the place I 'run off to' most often -- either by myself, with family, or with friends. On the "Free" day (first Thursday of the month), I've even had business meetings out on one of the lawns.

Beautiful!. My favorite place to bring friends, especially, the ladies! It is a magnificent place to walk and converse with a friend or family, while at the same time admire the variety of theme gardens. It's a great place to get out of the city, so to speak. I like to go on weekdays as to avoid the crowd during the weekends. If you do go on the weekends get there when it opens, because the crowd will pick up.

Beautiful afternoon. The grounds are gorgeous, and they have a large collection of artwork (especially British). The Blue Boy is here, as well as work by Turner. The Japanes garden is not to be missed, be sure to bring your camera. No food or drink allowed, so don't plan on a picnic. Wear comfortable shoes, there's a lot of walking.

Nice. There are gardens, and art gallery all in one place. It's very entertaining for my friends from another country.

Pasadena's Haven. This landscape of endless lawns with areas dedicated to a variation of flowers is absolutely thee spot. I frequently visit to walk the grounds, relax, and lose myself in the beauty. The lawns are so green it makes your eyes and senses appreciate your God given capabilities to appreciate nature. Go here to decompress and get ZEN.

absolutely beautiful. What a great place to relax and enjoy the finer things in life. The Huntington library has various gardens ranging from rose, tropical, austrailian to desert. They have a restaurant and tea house. My favorite is the tea house but make reservations. It's about a month wait for a weekend tea resevation. They serve an all you can enjoy buffet of petite sandwichs and pastries. A true San Gabrial Valley jewel.

Serene Gardens. I'm a Pasadena resident and I love just taking an hour or two once a month to walk the serene gardens of the Huntington Library. My favorite place to walk is through the Japanese gardens.

Enjoy life, relax from the hustle and bustle of city life by visiting the Huntington gardens.

A Nice Place to Relax. I come here once in a while to relax at the Japanese Gardens. I am fond of the Oriental Culture, and it's nice for me to sit on one of the benches and enjoy reading a nice book.

They also have a beautiful rose garden that I took my family to see when they were in town as well as the museum which has different exhibits that are seaonal.
