I just love Laguna Beach, and this museum is a little gem. Located near the entrance to Las Brisas,…read morethis small museum offers multiple floors of local art. Its convenient location allows a nice prequel to your planned beach day, or respite from the sun while waiting for your table at a local restaurant. Now, when rating something I always try to compare it only to its own kind--this museum is in no way comparable to LACMA--this is a local heritage spot, and it delivers just that. The highlight of my visit was the lovely dosa, Martha. It was like walking the gallery with a new, knowledgeable friend. She explained the history, notable connections to the art pieces, and encouraged/allowed time for introspection without hovering. I don't think my experience would have nearly hit the mark without her guidance. I love learning fun facts. Thank you for a great visit, Martha!

LOVELY and well maintained garden! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. We were fortunate to visit…read morewhen they had the mosaic sculptures featured throughout too, which was an added bonus. I loved seeing the sculpture that will be at Burning Man this year. The garden is on the smaller size for a botanical garden (some stuff was under maintenance while we were there) but the gardens were impeccable. My favorite part was all the dahlias. Stunning! Your entry ticket ($12 for adults) also includes admission to the library, which had a bonsai area and some fun history. We were able to easily find free parking nearby. All the staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the work. I definitely recommend this spot! Such a beautiful, relaxing space.

They're open in limited capacity so it's not going to take longer than an hour to tour the grounds…read more Parking was $6.50 Not sure when construction finishes but it shouldnt take long because we spoke to someone there who said the city will want to expedite construction to open the restaurant. Beautiful still. We came the day before Mother's Day for the rose show. Looking forward to coming back when construction completes because at $5 admission that is kind of a rip for how much is there. It took us longer because I recognized someone at the rose show and my son is really into plants but for an average person I'd say 30-45 min is really how much is there right now until they finish the remodel

Then spend the rest of the day walking around town and take a stroll along the beach at sunset.

Okay you can be an art fan or a fan of Wyland and you will enjoy this place. Even if you have no…read moreidea who Wyland is, this is one of the greatest art galleries in Laguna. The coolest part about this gallery is Wyland does actually live here. His art will blow your mind with how beautiful it is. There is also a beautiful back patio that overlooks the ocean. Honestly such a fantastic place to visit and truly amazing employees to assist with answering any questions you may have. There is a small lot next to it or you can walk to it from downtown. It is a very short walk from downtown Laguna. If you want to see some amazing art about the ocean, visit this gallery!

As an archaeologist, I know every museum in Southern CA or that was what I thought until I came…read moreacross this museum on Yelp. I was like where is this place and how I have never knew about this being 15 mins away from my house. I had it on my list of places to visit and finally I went there last week and I am so happy that I did. The kind docent Nicole gave me a quick tour of the museum. The museum is all about the history of Southen OC cities which was owned by a guy named Lewis Moulton. The museum is not open every day so check their website before going there. It is for sure worth checking it out!

If you like history, especially local history, you'll really enjoy this little museum. Even if you…read moreare not a history buff you may have driven around the Laguna Niguel area or Laguna Hills area on Moulton Parkway or Nellie Gale Road and wondered who these streets were named after; you'll find out if you visit here. This museum is located in a small plaza. You can walk through it on your own or have one of the docents walk you through it and tell you the story of Lewis Moulton and his wife Nellie Gale. I opted to have a docent tour and Dave was a wealth of information. My one-on-one tour lasted about an hour; I had a lot of questions and Dave had a lot of answers. The museum is full of artifacts. The placards and video screens along the museum walls give the basic story of the Moultons if you choose not to have a docent accompany you. But it you're not in a hurry - choose to have a docent guide you! I learned so much about the history of the area from Irvine to El Toro (now known as Lake Forest) and southward to Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo and San Juan Capistrano...and the areas surrounding them. The museum is free and has very limited hours but it's worthwhile to find the time to make the visit. They occasionally schedule events at other times which might be more convenient so check their website. Oh, and if you happen to get Dave as your docent, have him tap out some Morse code for you!

The restaurant inside is beautiful, it's done in beautiful shades of red accented with white furniture. The walls are adorned with pictures of past and present Hollywood stars. We started our dining experience with a shared Cesar salad, my boyfriend ordered the lobster ravioli as his entree and I opted for the mushroom chicken, the portions were ample and seasoned perfectly. For dessert we shared the Grand Marnier soufflé, the Soufflé is a show stopper and must order, it was beautiful and served elegantly by Domenico the owner. After dinner we sat at the bar for after dinner cocktails and enjoyed the live Jazz music. The service at this restaurant is Impeccable, the weight staff are like magical fairies, you never have to ask for anything, your glasses are automatically filled, if you leave the table, your napkin is re-folded and dinner plates are cleared promptly after you have finished dining. The Red Room is Old Hollywood Glamour, Orange County has needed a restaurant like this and it has finally arrived. Congratulations to Domenico and his staff. We will definitely return.

The kind of stuff I'd put into my home. It's quieter and cleaner than the other festival with wide isles and shade from the sun. The restaurant in the back has the best salads, sandwiches, and tacos. I think they are the Laguna Beer Company catering. Very good. It was fun to meet and talk to many of the artists who are working on projects in their booths. Five stars from me! Full disclosure...I worked there years ago. P.S. The lady below who gave it 1 star below was trying to use the employee bathroom not open to the public. Duh and ewe!

Again this day,…read morewas free for LA residents with ID, and the kind lady at the entrance offered me free entrance as well, so I could join my sisters. This was an indoor event with interactive artists available in their booths. I actually enjoyed this event more than the Sawdust! I loved most of the artwork displayed here. One of our last stops was with an artist whose main focus was the beautiful and majestic hummingbirds. Being hummingbird lovers we purchased a few pieces to display on our walls. Food, beverages, restrooms, and small gift shop were available on the premises. Friendly service all around . I would definitely come back!

I like how there's an accessible elevator for the bridge to connect the two parks so you don't have to cross the street. Parking is also easy since it's at the civic center. Do yourself a favor and check out the Newport library too!
