Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden

Jan 2024

Parking is not well noted for this. But if you follow the map directions and look around you will find it.Important note: I went here in January just to kill time before a flight. May be more impressive in spring/summer.The park can be leisurely walked through in under 20 min.Lots of good info about the plants, and a very calming place for a small walk. But the plants themselves weren't visually very engaging.Also next to a nice big park with a pond you can walk around.Overall, nothing super special but a very relaxing place to spend 10-45 min.

This was a nice little garden and park. (All free) It was a little run down, lots of plants looked malnourished but it could have just been the season. Wooden features looked rotting and the park next to it had lots of duck poop everywhere. Overall it was a nice garden with open air and a pleasant place but there were a few issues with it.

I was surprised to learn there was a botanical garden in Manhattan Beach.Street parking was easy, free to enter located right next to Polliwog Park.The garden itself is quite small, neatly tended with a few benches scattered throughout, a meditation garden and a butterfly sanctuary.There is a path that connects the garden to Polliwog Park, there is a pond with ducks and geese and plenty of park equipment for the little ones.
