- JimJul 9, 2024Wonderful gardens
This is a very beautiful place to spend time with your dog and nature. I just had a 3 day visit to the area and made time to visit it twice during the three days. So much to see and I still didn’t see it all. Take time to sit on one of the many benches and relax.
Bring plenty of water for you and doggie. I also bring a small backpack with snacks and other stuff.

Allie and Owen loved long new sniffs!
- PaulaDec 30, 2023Beautiful dog friendly gardens
So grateful that this Botanic Garden welcomes dogs! It was very beautiful, showcasing different types of environments and with a stream running in the middle. Very kid friendly too with fun things for kids to explore. It is relatively small, so if you walk at a fast pace you can see it all in 1 h. Do not miss the Island Views trail across the Gardens gate, the views are very nice.

- GraceApr 5, 2023Beautiful Spring Blooms
Loved visiting the gardens with our pup Bella. Nice trails, easy on dogs and humans. 🐶🐾💖
- PaigeNov 5, 2021Beautiful stroll with the doggo
A beautiful walk with the doggo, lots for him to sniff. You can tailor the intensity of the workout to suit your needs, there are a few areas of a slight incline. It's nothing intense, but if you walk the whole thing you'll probably have a relaxed pup.

- JackieMore than a year agoGreat Morning
We were super surprised to hear the Gardens were dog friendly! We had a wonderful walk and tired our Pup out. Everyone was very dog and people friendly. We now ate on the mission to see what other Gardens are dog friendly.
- KristinMore than a year agoPerfect afternoon!
I just moved to the area, and plan to visit the botanical gardens again and again! Lovely trails and super dog friendly. They have poopy bags if you forget and offer cookies to the pooches!
- VeronicaMore than a year agoRelaxing day
We enjoyed the leisurely stroll through the gardens. Loved the flowers! After a long drive, this was a wonderful way to spend the day and exercise the dogs. Beautiful and relaxing.

Absolutely the best quiet walk with your leashed dog on a weekday. I really appreciate that they allow dogs and that everyone keeps the area clean. Look forward to this every time we're in Santa Barbara!
