The Chinese Garden is peaceful at twilight. The Huntington will remain open on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays for walks through the grounds.
They were originally suggested as “cool evening strolls” on the grounds of the Huntington Library, but the recent streak of hot weather might challenge that marketing plan.
“‘Cool’ might not be achievable this week, even if we stay open until midnight,” quipped the Huntington’s Lisa Blackburn. “But 85 degrees at sunset is better than 103.”
True, and any visit to the Huntington is better than none at all.
Visitors are invited to enjoy a leisurely walk around the grounds during the hours of 4:30-7 p.m., Friday through Sunday, through Labor Day weekend.
The stroll is $20, but free for members. Tickets are made available each Tuesday at noon for visits the following week.
The Huntington’s 1919 Cafe will remain open until 7 p.m. for grab-and-go food items, beer and wine for purchase. Seating is available on the patio and in the Garden Court.
