And be sure to leave plenty of time to explore the 120 acres of <a href=\"http:\/\/huntington.org\/huntingtonlibrary_02.aspx?id=350\" target=\"_blank\">botanical gardens<\/a> that surround the library. They are truly spectacular. My particular favorites are the Tropical Garden, the Desert Garden and the Japanese Garden (which is closed for renovation until Spring 2012).<\/p>\n<p><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>: October 8, 2011 &ndash; January 9, 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong>: The Huntington Library, Art Collection and Botanical Gardens, located at 1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino, CA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visitor Information<\/strong>: The Huntington is open to the public Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from noon to 4:30 p.m.\u037e and Saturday, Sunday, and Monday holidays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission on weekdays: $15 adults, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students (ages 12&ndash;18 or with fulltime student I.D.), $6 youth (ages 5&ndash;11), free for children under 5.
