Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden

Visited this place on the 24th of December. A nice and peaceful place to spend half a day surrounded by nature. Do not miss the peacocks which you will spot immediately on entering the park. We unfortunately could not see the Lights Festival which is later in the evening, but the lanterns which occupy nearly half of the park were amazing and beautiful to watch even without the lights. The other things worth seeing are the tropical plants and a small waterfall which is a nice place for photos. Entry Fees is $9 per adult above 5.

Gorgeous! We visited during the daytime on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed the gardens and saw an incredible diversity of plants including many flowers. The lanterns were fun to look at during the day, even though they are meant for night time viewing. Parking was free and easy, and the admission to the garden was affordable.

This is an incredible display of artistic lighted figures. I was especially impressed with the Tera cotta army display since I'll never get to see the real one in China. There were so many wonderful photo spots. Worth every penny and parking is pretty easy if you can be patient with the crowds.

This is the best Xmas / light show. It's a must see event. The property is large and there is enough space for each theme. The characters seem real, beautiful colors, and live show makes it more beautiful. I was very pleased. Thank you.

I attended the Moonlight Forest exhibit and it was beautiful. Seeing the Arboretum lit up at night was spectacular. Great family fun, enjoyable for kids. Appreciated the snack trucks for kids. The show was unexpected and great, especially liked the beautiful peacock dancer. Grest place for some fun photos. Thank you!
