  • Descanso Gardens has one of the best holiday light events in Southern California with an amazing set of 10 light installations on the property. It feels like you are walking through an art show as you make your way around to each of the experiences and it was one of the funniest things I did during the 2021 Christmas season. Check it out if you get the chance and let me know what you think in the comments.

    Ah! My former neighborhood! So many fond memories. Where do I start? The annual Camellia bloom, the Christmas decorations, my grandchildren loving the Japanese garden and koi ponds; Wine tasting parties; strolling in the rose gardens, concerts. It’s just a lovely place. I miss it. Thank you for reminding me of how wonderful it is. $32 per person is steep. I’m sure it’s less if you are a member. I was a member for years and it was worth it. Sigh!

      It’s gorgeous in spring -roses blooming everywhere; A forest of Camellias in February-March. A great place to just take a troll at any time. Don’t just go at Christmas. If you have youngster, there’s a miniature train - kids absolutely love sitting on it as it winds through the forest.

    In Oakland zoo they used to have a holiday light festival. You'd go at night and everyone got a pair of those holographic light refracting paper spectacles. Like the 3D red and blue paper spectacles, only these would take a single point of light and split it into 8 lights. It was a real trip wearing them when someone else drove home, the traffic lights, headlights and taillights, Xmas tree lights. Fun year round. But don't wear while driving or even walking alone. At the zoo they had archways covered with !lights to walk through, and you had to do it with and without the glasses on. It was like being on psychedelics without taking them

      That fee is just for the holiday light event. The daily entrance fee is under $10/pp less for children and a better deal if you’re a member. It’s 5 minutes from Pasadena so lots of hotels there. Don’t try to go over New Years! The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl sell out every hotel for miles.

      We are members so we visit regularly, it’s interesting to watch them set this up, they start a couple of months in advance. When you see everything that goes into setting this up the price seems quite reasonable. Miles and miles of cabling. Afterwards they are able to tear it down really fast though, a few days later there is no trace of it. Oh by the way, you have to buy tickets in advance, not sure about this year but in the past it has sold out.
