Where art, literature, and botanical wonders converge—and keep you cool
Posted on Tue., June 3, 2025 by
Where else can you sip tea in a former bowling lounge, browse rare succulents that thrive in the heat, reflect on environmental philosophy among translucent silk paintings, and let kids splash in fountains framed by living topiary?
This summer, The Huntington invites you to slow down, look closer, and discover something new—whether it’s your first visit or your 50th. Explore an abundance of gardens, galleries, and ideas with these five can’t-miss experiences.

While most of us wilt in triple-digit temperatures, these sculptural survivors come into their own. The Huntington annually teams up with the Cactus & Succulent Society of America to showcase and sell rare and bizarrely beautiful desert plants, some of which can go three months without water. Come admire these living works of art, then stop by the sale to take a resilient friend home. Bonus: no green thumb required.
