San Diego Botanic Garden

I went at night for their Botanic Wonderland. It's beautifully decorated and festive throughout the many different garden areas. Some areas were blocked off but there is still lots to see. The metering of guests ensured that there is plenty of room to safely distance. Check in was quick and simple. Employees were friendly and helpful in finding my way around. A great pandemic-friendly activity during this challenging holiday season.

This place is HUGE lots to look at & to think some parts are closed because of the pandemic. They have a fun interactive children's section which is always a plus. I'll put a warning since no one else did. It isn't completely stroller friendly for those with kids. Be prepared for a LOT of hills, inclines, & stairs & some unpaved areas. It's perfect for spring time since it's not too hot. The herbs & floral sculpture statues in the Mexican garden are a nice touch. &of course great for pictures. The front desk staff is friendly too (whoever was working at 3PM today) It would be a 5 star review but you kinda have to see the things twice or miss a few things if you have a stroller still a great garden.

Cool tree house! We went during the winter wonderland and it was nice. It was dark so we didn't get to observe a lot of the plants but it was still gorgeous at night. We def want to go back during the day and are thinking of trying out the membership!

It is the nicest botanic garden I've ever seen! There are a diversity of plants from different world regions. No snakes, rats, foxes, coyotes, etc. are around. The garden configurations are delicate, where you get a top view of the surrounding farms, ocean, and city, a fall with a pond covered by water lily and hovered by red dragonflies, banana and fig tree fields, bamboo area, and so on. The garden is a great place for a nice view, hike, relaxation, etc. every now and then.

What a relaxing afternoon spent walking and learning about the plants. I had not been since my kids were little, as now they are teenagers and I was pleasantly surprised with the new entrance gate. The online reservation system was easy, although it should be posted before people get in line to avoid delays. Other than that, a good way to spend outside in nature.
