42 (91) The Huntington
The Huntington was founded
in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington. It consists of a library, a fine
art collection and Botanical Gardens all presented to you on one
canvass. A synergy of art, nature and knowledge.
The Huntington Library
Huntington amassed one
of the finest research libraries in the world with a collection
of rare books and manuscripts in the fields of British and American
history and literature.
The Huntington Art Collection
Huntington established
a splendid art collection of 18th- and 19th-century British and
French art. It is one of the most comprehensive collections of its
kind in the United States. Highlights include the Gainsborough’s
Blue Boy and Lawrence’s Pinkie.
The Huntington Botanical
Gardens
For many, the main attraction
of The Huntington is its beautiful Botanical Gardens. The Botanical
Gardens span 120 acres and contain over a dozen specialized gardens
with plants from all over the planet. They are arranged within a
park-like landscape of rolling lawns. Perhaps most remarkable are
the Desert Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Rose Garden, and the
Chinese garden. You should be able to enjoy a 'cuppa' of english
tea at the Rose Garden. The Huntington boasts one of the largest
camellia collections in the United States.
The Botanical Education
Center
The Botanical Education
Center features the Helen and Peter Bing Children’s Garden,
the Teaching Greenhouse and The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory
for Botanical Science. The Conservatory provides children and families
with exhibits designed to capture the imagination, engage the senses,
and teach some of the fundamentals of botany.
43 Kidspace Children's
Museum
Interactive, well what
isn't these days, space for kids to be kids and adults to be slightly
less worried about kids being kids.
Kidspace is in a space
next to the Rose Bowl. Kidspace now has more space than your average
interactive place. Kidspace has two acres of gardens no less, waterways
and outdoor stuff so there.
44 JPL
If you know about the
Cassini and Galileo space craft and the conquest of Mars from its
numerous visitors then the only thing you probably want to know
is the quickest way to get here. If spacecraft were sports stars
JPL is the Rose bowl, Yankee and Wembley Stadiums rolled into one.
JPL is a blast.
Tours are available free
of charge of two hours in length for groups and individuals on an
advance reservation basis. You'll probably get to see a presentation
on JPL entitled "Spirit of Exploration" which gives an
overview of JPL. You might also see the von Karman Visitor Center,
the Space Flight Operations Facility, and the In-Situ Instruments
Laboratory.
45 San Gabriel Mountains
Adventure Playground
and Camping.
If there is white stuff
snow boarding and snow skiing. If warmer, canyoneering, hiking,
backpacking, picnicking and camping. Be careful not to get lost
or stuck, fall over or otherwise hurt yourself. It's a mountain
out there.
