About Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden

The garden spans 127 acres of landscaped grounds, historic structures and wildlife habitat set into hills near the San Gabriel Mountains. Visitors can walk about 2.5 miles of paved pathways, see plant collections and seasonal blooms, join guided tours or trams, and stop at the Peacock Café. Peafowl and other wildlife roam the grounds, so visitors are asked to keep a distance and not feed or chase animals.
