Don't miss out on the redwood grove. This gorgeous part of the gardens is accessible from the corner of the parking lot .

Well curated and beautiful garden space. Much of the garden paths are paved and stroller/chair accessible (but not all).

The 34-acre Botanical Garden ranges in elevation from about 600 to 900 feet, and experiences a variety of climatic exposures created by marine air funneled through the Golden Gate. Read more

First time was 4/20/18 on a date. I'd smoked at 4:20 AM and was still high so I slept on my date's lap while on a bench in the middle of the gardens . She didn't mind. THAT'S how beautiful it is here.
