Finding The Huntington

The Huntington is in San Marino, about 12 miles north-east of downtown Los Angeles, with gates on Allen Avenue and on Oxford Road.

• By car: parking is free, but it can fill up at weekends, on holidays and in peak seasons.
• By bus: the nearest bus stops are about a mile away, so allow time for the walk or take a taxi.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Cafés and a tea room, including the 1919 Cafe and the Rose Garden Tea Room.
• Shade under the trees of the themed gardens.
• Picnic tables next to Admission; picnicking is not allowed in the gardens.
• An accessible shuttle with eight stops around the grounds.

Bags are checked as you enter, and drones, selfie sticks, bicycles and sports equipment are not allowed. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

All buildings and most gardens are accessible. An accessible shuttle makes eight stops around the grounds, and wheelchairs can be borrowed on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Huntington staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy The Huntington thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave plants, sculpture and collections untouched, and do not use flash inside the buildings.
• The Huntington is smoke-free, and pets are not permitted; service animals are welcome.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the gardens, the collections and their atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Huntington has several places to eat, from the 1919 Cafe and the Red Car coffee shop to the Rose Garden Tea Room, where booking ahead is recommended.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Outside alcohol is not allowed, and picnics are kept to the tables next to Admission.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: follow your ticket’s instructions; your ticket time is your earliest arrival time.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow several hours for the gardens, the galleries and a free garden tour.
