Top Gardens in Los Angeles

Don't forget sunscreen! I got a bit sunburned even though I didn’t think it was that sunny. Better safe than sorry, right?

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You might think it's just a stroll, but you'll end up walking a lot more than you expect while exploring all the different areas.

Check out the seasonal events before your visit! I stumbled upon a cool art exhibit during my trip, which made the experience even more special. It’s a great way to make the most of your visit.

I recommend arriving right when the gardens open, around 9 AM, to enjoy the peace before the crowds show up. It felt like I was walking in a dream during those quiet moments.

I suggest downloading the garden map from their website before you go... It really helped me navigate and not miss out on any highlights!

I recommend visiting during the week instead of the weekend to avoid the crowds. I went on a Saturday and it was packed. The peaceful vibe is way better when it's less busy!

I think the best time to take photos is around 10 AM. The sunlight hitting the water made everything look stunning. I missed it on my first go because I arrived later!
