Trolls, Trails, & Harbor Sails: A Whimsical Escape

A Whimsical Botanic Garden Visit Paired with a Scenic Narrated Coastal Cruise

 

Step into a delightful day of imagination, beauty, and discovery as we visit South Coast Botanic Garden for Thomas Dambo's whimsical outdoor exhibit, TROLLS: A Field Study. Stroll scenic pathways as you discover 12 larger-than-life troll sculptures handcrafted from reclaimed wood and thoughtfully placed throughout the 87-acre garden. Along the way, enjoy plenty of opportunities to pause, take photos, and appreciate the peaceful surroundings.

 

We'll also stop at the creative LAB Anti-Mall, where you'll have time to explore its eclectic shops and enjoy lunch on your own from a variety of casual dining options.

In the afternoon, discover the rich maritime heritage of the Port of Los Angeles with a visit to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum. Browse fascinating exhibits showcasing historic ships, commercial fishing, navigation, and life along the waterfront.

 

Our day concludes with a relaxing narrated harbor cruise through the Port of San Pedro. Sit back and take in fresh ocean breezes and spectacular views while learning about one of the world's busiest seaports.

 

This memorable excursion combines art, nature, history, and coastal charm into a perfectly balanced day of exploration and relaxation.
