    Nice outdoor patio
    Patty L.

    I visit this library once a week to check out my books . They have a wide varieties of books , novels available . The facility is so beautiful and quiet . I liked the librarian Shawnee ~~who always volunteered to help me out whenever I needed to find something or checking out my books. She taught me how to use their self checked out system twice and I truly appreciated her so so much :) I started to utilize their self check out system and it is very efficient and simple . Everyone should visit this library because it is so quiet and chill always ! Love this place & Shawnee is such an outstanding librarian for this library ! 5 stars !!!

    Super clean library

    Omg I am completely mortified. The library was full of homeless people and just a lot of weirdos…read more There was a lady in front of me cursing out loud at the desk I was sitting at. The ladies bathroom had a hole in the wall!!! And when I went outside to see wha room is next door it was the men's bathroom!!!!! I feel mortified and absolutely shocked. Libraries are supposed to be a place you can feel safe and take your kids. I would never bring anyone here. The librarians were just sitting there on their monitors. I felt so unsafe I immediately left and will not be going back.

    Taking one star away from a full rating, as it was extremely tedious to sign up for a library card!…read moreI'm not sure if you can do it in-person, but I did it online on www.cityofpasadena.net/library But this was still a bit of a process. **Rating my experience with a toddler** This is our local library and I'm only familiar with the kids section. I would say that about 1/4 of the library is dedicated to kids, so a pretty good selection! There are reading areas, books are neatly organized by author, and I find the staff very friendly and helpful in finding books for us. You can also find books on their online catalog and place holds. When the book is available, they will send you an email and you have about a week to pick up the book. They also have story time in parks and frequent book sales. Plenty of guest parking. I never had to struggle finding a spot. The max number of books you can check out is 100, so we have a lot to go!

Pushing my sister in a wheel chair was good exercise for me but thank goodness for the golf cart people who were so kind and gave us rides to wherever we wanted to go.

Current 2026 Prices: Weekdays (Mon-Thu): Adult $29 Senior (65+) // Military // Student $24 Weekends (Fri-Sun, Holidays, Peak): Adult $34 Senior (65+) // Military // Student $28 Youth (4-11): $13 Children (Under 4): Free Members: Sustaining ($175): Free admission for 2 adults in the same household, member event invites, and store discounts. Affiliate ($350): Includes all Sustaining benefits plus early entry to the gardens on weekends Discounts: Seniors (65+) and teachers/professors can receive $20 off, and 2-year memberships can be purchased for a 10% discount as well. Best part of the garden? FREE PARKING. With that said, it's a free parking lot, pretty big but can fill up very fast during peak hours. Street parking is also available but of course, it comes with a longer walk to the entrance of the garden. If you plan to visit during weekends, come early as it gets crowded very quickly, hence the parking situations. After 2-3PM or so it becomes more spacious. From ranges of Chinese gardens to Japanese gardens, desert, jungle, Australian, there's tons of variety when it comes to The Huntington. I'm very impressed as they have plenty of art galleries as well that's part of the pathways. Very much worth it to check those out during your visit. They have plenty of greenhouses as well similar to the La Brea Tar Pits, those are worth a visit as well. Overall, a wonderful garden to visit, and might be one of the best and biggest in California. A must visit for sure and I'm very impressed with their maintenance. Everything looks fresh and clean here, and always a great vibe overall. The gift shop is also a nice visit if you're looking for some souvenirs.
