Tips for Visiting Lotusland Santa Barbara

The Prettiest Views of the Botanic Gardens

Did you know that Lotusland is home to over 3,000 different plants from around the world? If you want to find the prettiest views of the botanic gardens, then a tour is a must. Tours are the best way to appreciate everything that Lotusland has to offer. You and your sweetie will be lead from surprise to surprise as you discover subtropical and tropical plants from around the world!

How to Surprise Your Loved One

Lotusland encompasses over 37 acres of estate with botanic gardens that are always in bloom, and because of Southern California’s year-round amiable weather, Lotusland Santa Barbara is always a great idea for surprising your sweetheart! However, because Lotusland is a public garden operating in a private, residential neighborhood, advanced reservations are required. In addition, avoid using a GPS to navigate, as it will direct you to the wrong gate! Use the directions included in your tour reservation.
