The Huntington Japanese Garden

It's such a beautiful place and very authentic. We just got back from Japan where we visited several Japanese gardens and this one is true to the real thing. We love the beautiful Bamboo forest, the carefully crafted bonzai trees and the lakes and streams with the beautiful bridges. There is also a very authentic Japanese tea house with tatami mats. This is a beautiful place.

Better than I thought it would be. The gardens are spectacular. We had the tea and the scones were the best I ever had, the sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and the service was wonderful. This is a bucket list place!

We were speechless about the entire day. So many things to explore and see. Specially if you want your kids to experiment the atmosphere. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

The very beautiful place! I love it very much. The good museum, the beautiful Chinese and Japanese gardens, the big rose garden and another botanical gardens. The good tea cafe. There's a tea restaurant but it was too expensive for me: near $60 per person. And unexpectedly nice souvenir store! Not cheap but all are very good and something even are elegant! I recommend to have enough time for this store when you visit this place. They changed an exposition and I like to visit it every time.

An amazing Japanese garden that unexpectedly opens up before you as you walk from the rose garden — I think it’s the best entrance to take. The atmosphere of a traditional Japanese garden is captured with remarkable precision. The miniature trees, and even tiny forests, are especially captivating — an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend visiting!

Honestly soooo much to see it can be over whelming. 2 things --> art galleries and gardens. If you are good on your feet/healthy and start early you can probably do it all. Im a plant lover but also had some family that are not able to be on their feet all day so we chose to do just the gardens. Even then we were not able to do each garden to completion and did not see all of them before family became tired. I will have to come back one day alone and make my way through it all. Highly recomend. LOVED the jungle and chinese gardens. P.S. EBT car holders is only $3 and can get up to 3 tickets at that price per a card!

The park was absolutely fantastic! The check in process was easy. We were able to get a wheelchair with no problem. It was not crowded. The weather was beautiful. The only complaint I have is that there is no place to fill up a water bottle along the trail and the café, only had one cashier and a huge line that lasted 25 minutes.

The Huntington Japanese Garden is a place where you can fully immerse yourself in the peace and beauty of nature. Manicured plants, charming bridges, and serene ponds create a truly special atmosphere. The Japanese Garden is just one of the many gems at The Huntington, which also includes the Chinese Garden, the Rose Garden, tropical greenhouses, and art galleries with unique exhibitions. The grounds are vast, and each corner has its own mood and charm, so it’s worth allowing plenty of time to explore. I recommend buying tickets in advance to plan your visit and enjoy it without rushing. Highly recommended!
