The Huntington is beautiful--the gardens, the galleries, the library. I've been several times and still haven't seen it all. The Japanese Garden is the highlight for me, though the desert gardens are spectacular as well. I'd love to picnic on one of the lawns (not allowed), but I respect that to maintain such a pristine, reliably beautiful local treasure, there have to be some rules. Grab a friend--and your camera--and enjoy a quiet, leisurely day outside.
Pros: Japanese Gardens
Cons: No picnicking
