Pasadena’s gardens are especially beautiful in summer. Explore colorful blooms, lush landscapes, and peaceful walking paths at some of the area’s most beloved outdoor destinations. Spend the morning wandering through botanical gardens, historic estates, or neighborhood green spaces before relaxing with lunch nearby.
Take a summer drive along Colorado Boulevard and experience Pasadena’s place in Route 66 history. This iconic corridor offers classic architecture, dining, shopping, public art, and photo-worthy stops that connect Pasadena’s past with its lively present. It’s a perfect way to add a nostalgic road trip moment to your visit.
