Quite possibly the best Groupon we've purchased so far has come from San Marino's Huntington Library, Art Collection and Botanical Gardens. We purchased a year-long membership to the facility -- good for the entire family -- and I can tell we're going to be using it a lot.
Founded in 1919 by railroad, utility and real estate magnate Henry E. Huntington, the private, nonprofit institution has developed its land into quite an attractive, peaceful property.
That includes a children's, Chinese and Japanese gardens. It's a good spot to bring the kids on a weekend -- or a school holiday -- when there's nothing else to do.
Some shots from our most recent visit:
Huntington holds free days on the first Thursday of every month; check for other free days sponsored by companies such as Target.
The Huntington is open Monday through Friday (except Tuesday) from noon to 4:30 p.m. and on the weekends from 10:30 to 4:30.
Entry for adults is $15 on weekdays, $20 on weekends; $10 for students; $6 for kids 5-11; and free for children under 5.
