Those of you shall we say "of a certain age" might remember this house. Here is a hint: "The plane. The plane" Of course this is the house where Hervé Villechaize ( Tattoo) would call out those famous words announcing the arrival of the latest guests to have their fantasies fulfilled on the long running television program, Fantasy Island. This Queen Anne style house is just one of the treasures you will find at the LA Arboretum in Arcadia. The gardens are divided into different regions such as The Americans, Africa, Asia, and Australia. There are art displays, plants, trees, and even a lovely waterfall to enjoy. You can also learn about the Tongvas who are Native American people said to have greeted Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo in 1542. You can see examples of their houses called kiys. For lunch there is the Peacock Cafe, peacocks included. Saturdays at the Arboretum are popular for weddings. We found ourselves dodging large gatherings more than once but all in all had a great day.
