Pasadena's only free public garden: three acres in Mediterranean style, with a stone labyrinth for kids to walk in circles, orange trees, cacti and hummingbirds and butterflies everywhere; a slow hour here is just right for little ones.

💡 Tips
Strollers manage the gravel paths with some effort. No restrooms, so take care of that first. The Huntington and Lacy Park are both within 10 minutes, so it pairs easily.
