Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center, Orange

What a fun place to stroll around. There's so much to enjoy. Places to sit and just think. Beautiful views + bird watching if you're into that. Went during the Christmas stroll... but during the day since we didn't know about the night time event. It was fun to see all the Christmas trees different businesses and families put together.

I live right down the street from this wonderful place! I've been coming here for over a decade now. The workers know me by name here, that's for sure! If you're looking for a place to unwind and get away from all of the hustle and bustle of life, then this is the place for you! The workers and volunteers are so friendly, there are plenty of sitting areas all over, and the restrooms are very clean. Every time you go, there's something new that has grown and it has a different look and feel each time. I call it my Paradise and my Garden of Eden! My kids love it as well! Best hidden gem in this small little town of Orange. 😊❤️
