Top 5 Botanical Gardens in California

19005 Coast Hwy, Jenner, CA 95450, United States

“A very beautiful place on the roaring coast of Northern California. The drive to get there is really challenging. We met a bunch of Corvette drivers who had the best time getting there. I have a completely different view of the Russians since visiting this place. Very artistically built. They treated everyone equally. They did not demand converting to their religion. I was so impressed. Well worth the effort to visit.”

3700 Blackhawk Plaza Cir, Danville, CA 94506, United States

“This museum is amazing! It has so many beautiful and valuable items. Not only super cars, but also historical items and great demonstrations. This museum is great for family and kids. We really learned a lot from it. Strongly recommend this museum to everyone!”

1 Buchanan St, Albany, CA 94706, United States

“A small little nature world right next to the concrete jungle, very artsy. I love it!”

1520 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122, United States

“I love this project. There are succulent gardens that follow along the stairs each way. Fun spot to capture views, enjoy some color and nature, or exercise.. go up and down a few times if you woke up with extra energy lol”

700 Jean St, Oakland, CA 94610, United States

“🌹🌼🍃 As a nature enthusiast, my visit to the municipal rose garden in Oakland was an absolute delight! The moment I stepped into the garden, I was greeted with the intoxicating fragrance of roses that instantly transported me to a serene …”

01 In-Ko-Pah Park Rd, Jacumba Hot Springs, CA 91934, United States

“Loved this place, I reviewed it under another name already. We just happened to see it while driving by. We stopped to check it out. The gift shop was closed, I believe because a hurricane was coming. There were people there who lived on the property, either owners or caretakers. They were very nice, let us walk thru the cave/Boulder trail for free (tho I left a donation in the box). They had beautiful well behaved dogs. We saw a couple of peacocks, the guew was awesome and the cave walk and carvings were cool. I am sorry I missed the gift shop, would Def stop again if I was in the area. It was a nice break from driving. I believe you can go in the tower when it's open, but even from the outside it was nice.”

1363 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, United States

“It's a beautiful garden when the flowers are in full bloom. It does get pretty busy during the day and on the weekends. You'll see many portrait/wedding photographers taking photos. I recommend visiting in the later evening during the weekday for a more peaceful experience.”

700 S Myrtle Ave #708, Monrovia, CA 91016, United States

“A city to love, surrounder by nature, with wide spaces for hiking, to enjoy delicious food, ice cream, etc, always feeling the warmth of all the inhabitants.”

56 Cañada Rd, Redwood City, CA 94062, United States

“Very beautiful place! The architecture definitely reminds me of Greece. Good place for picnic or just to relax and wind down!”

4202 Alhambra Ave, Martinez, CA 94553, United States

“Crazy how we stumbled on this returning home from visiting the Marin Headlands but here goes. I knew a little something about John Muir and his legacy including his cofounding of the Sierra Club. My university has his entire library and collection of written works which are accessible online. He got to write about his adventures and political advocacy with the comfort of the mansion, property, and his wife's family resources and friends support. I did learn more about his later years and it's interesting to think about how far he walked with what a piece of bread in his pocket from Martinez to Yosemite. He traveled to various continents. I had a blast ringing the bell!”

415 Avenida Granada, San Clemente, CA 92672, United States

“The Casa is beautifully kept and the gardens are lovely! The volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the casa as well as the history of San Clemente. The views of the ocean were so pretty! We really enjoyed the gardens and the lovely architecture. Great location and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended 👍👍 …”

2647 East Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625, United States

“beautiful garden! So much colors and flowers! This place is feeling like family country cottage from the childhood, so lovely and treated by caring hand! So cute and authentic, all the time visiting you will feel like you are a very welcomed guest in auntie’s house! A lot of butterfly! They have orchids, gigantic succulent, flycatcher, dining table better to reserve in advance. Free parking (pretty dissent size) and I can not believe it exists in THIS area! Will come back and already recommended my friends!”

“Beautiful classic architecture & very well maintained. The garden is immaculate & the interior fountain is quite stunning. I'd say this is one of the best City Halls i've visited in California.”

1690 John F Kennedy Dr, San Francisco, CA 94121, United States

“Where the world fades away, and tranquility takes over… this garden is absolutely blissful! Tulip season or not, this garden is a must visit for nature lovers. Sit, relax and enjoy the beauty of blooms. There is also nice parking space nearby.”

1270 Vale Terrace Dr, Vista, CA 92084, United States

“Very cool and interesting garden. My kiddos love the sculptures and the children’s section. The turtles in the ponds are a big hit with them as well! I live much closer to the San Diego botanic gardens but I prefer the more natural and laid back feel at this one. Can beat the price of $5 an adult, $3 for children.”

“Amazing place to visit . Historical and just off the freeway to tehachapi. Museum on site to learn about Cesar Chavez's life . He was also buried here and hes house in fence up . Theres a creek that runs thru it . Great place to visit and …”

504 W Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105, United States

“We arrived at Colorado Street bridge in the afternoon. Not many ppl. Great weather. Definitely felt spooky. That bridge is a long fall,. I felt something eerie. I did start taking pictures & I did capture a ghost/spirit. Zoom in. Thank you for your time.”

Borrego Springs, CA 92004, United States

“Spectacular metal sculptures all over the place. We only visited 53 while more than 100 should be out there. Some Google Maps coordinates of certain sculptures are not correct. But that is not a real problem, because you will see most of them from a distance!”

4600 Virginia Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807, United States

“Amazing historic ranch with orchards and gardens that is free to visit! I loved it! Peaceful and educational. The visitor center staff tells you sone of the history along with a video and an exhibit. Definitely recommend!”
