THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY, ART MUSEUM, AND BOTANICAL GARDENS REVIEWS
An absolutely beautiful spot to check out for locals and tourists alike. Ticket prices are a bit high, but totally worth it! You gain access to the library, art gallery, and the expansive grounds with many acres of different themed gardens. My personal favourite is the Chinese Garden. You could easily spend an entire day here exploring the grounds, and because they’re so expansive, it never feels crowded, even on a busy summer day. There are also a number of food, drink, and coffee options on-site should you feel hungry. All in all a great experience, highly recommend checking it out!
Absolutely worth the trip. World class garden. Huge. The cactus garden was unbelievably beautiful as were the Japanese and Chinese gardens. The jungle section was pretty cool too. We didn't have time to see any of the museums because we were too busy with the gardens. I'd go again in a heartbeat.
The Boone Gallery is my favorite Gallery here! The gardens are wonderful. It definitely has a corporate feel now that it is not owned by the family. I love the succulent varieties here. The Japanese garden is getting a wonderful renovation to the tea house! I really can't wait!

ALEX THEATRE REVIEWS
Gorgeous theater built in the 1920s and beautifully renovated to look absolutely beautiful. They don't build theaters like this anymore like the old movie palaces from the golden age of Hollywood! Extremely well maintained.
I went to see Cinderella with my beautiful girlfriend here at Alex theater. It was amazing. The staff there was very kind and helpful. The architecture of the theater was amazing. Great atmosphere to be around.
Very attractive theatre with good acoustics. Made for a great concert experience.

MUSEUM OF NEON ART REVIEWS
A beautifully preserved and maintained glimpse into the lost art of neon signs, mostly from around Los Angeles with a couple from outside of the area, such as Bakersfield. A very interesting plasma room, and fun gift shop as well. Groupon has a great package deal too! Don't miss this one!
My wife and I had so much fun visiting the MONA. We chatted with a museum volunteer for a while who told us a lot of fun facts about the neon and plasma pieces. There’s even neon art in the bathrooms! Don’t be deterred from other reviewers saying it’s a bit small- all the pieces in there are really wonderful and it’s definitely worth the $10!
Small but extremely cute museum.. kids will love it. Especially the plasma section is very interesting.
