@@desmondh.6796 I’ve been there many times - I’ve seen all kinds of camera equipment. There’s a wedding/special event pavilion and gazebo. I’ve seen many weddings photographed there.
I went there almost 2 years ago! It was my first time in CA and at Descanso Gardens. I would recommend to go and see the exhibit for yourself , you won’t be disappointed.
I've been there a couple years ago with some friends, im finally going back with my gf, glad to see that they kept majority of the "main" installations
Ah! My former neighborhood! So many fond memories. Where do I start? The annual Camellia bloom, the Christmas decorations, my grandchildren loving the Japanese garden and koi ponds; Wine tasting parties; strolling in the rose gardens, concerts. It’s just a lovely place. I miss it. Thank you for reminding me of how wonderful it is. $32 per person is steep. I’m sure it’s less if you are a member. I was a member for years and it was worth it. Sigh!
@@californiathroughmylens It’s gorgeous in spring -roses blooming everywhere; A forest of Camellias in February-March. A great place to just take a troll at any time. Don’t just go at Christmas. If you have youngster, there’s a miniature train - kids absolutely love sitting on it as it winds through the forest.
One of the best well said and videoed events that I have seen on youtube. I went last night with friends. It is really magical and fun. Now, I am a fan of your videos. You do things right. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely taking my girlfriend here this month! You’re always killing it with the coolest things to check out, I took her to the Tanaka Farms pumpkin patch this fall thanks to your video, and she loved it. I know we’ll love this one too 🙌🏼
Went there last night with GF, absolutely beautiful to see all the installations & illuminated trees. Loved the all the contrasting colors, lights, and shadows. 😉
OMG! That is so beautiful! I love visiting gardens and I am a photographer so this is my kinda place. I’ve not heard of this garden and event before, I don’t live in the Los Angeles area. But I will make a little trip of it and go see this for sure! Thanks so much!
In Oakland zoo they used to have a holiday light festival. You'd go at night and everyone got a pair of those holographic light refracting paper spectacles. Like the 3D red and blue paper spectacles, only these would take a single point of light and split it into 8 lights. It was a real trip wearing them when someone else drove home, the traffic lights, headlights and taillights, Xmas tree lights. Fun year round. But don't wear while driving or even walking alone. At the zoo they had archways covered with !lights to walk through, and you had to do it with and without the glasses on. It was like being on psychedelics without taking them
Thank you for sharing. Very nice video. There seems to be lots of walking though... would be all right for seniors to go there? How far deep is the forest and how long walk back/forth?
I was there last weekend and loved it. Went pre Covid the first time and it was great then too. Have you checked out Lightscapes at thd Los Angeles Arboretum?
I've never heard of such a place. How much to enter and is there a hotel on site? O you said $32 to enter. Honestly thats a bit high but I've never seen a place I'd love to explore more. So maybe it's worth it. Looks so cool.
That fee is just for the holiday light event. The daily entrance fee is under $10/pp less for children and a better deal if you’re a member. It’s 5 minutes from Pasadena so lots of hotels there. Don’t try to go over New Years! The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl sell out every hotel for miles.
When I was little like preschool age our family used to come here I barely remember it ,also I literally until now kept thinking it was called “The Scanso gardens” not “Descsanso”
We are members so we visit regularly, it’s interesting to watch them set this up, they start a couple of months in advance. When you see everything that goes into setting this up the price seems quite reasonable. Miles and miles of cabling. Afterwards they are able to tear it down really fast though, a few days later there is no trace of it. Oh by the way, you have to buy tickets in advance, not sure about this year but in the past it has sold out.
Just went to the Enchanted Forest last night. I arrived at 7:30 and stayed till closing, I wish I arrived earlier! 10/10
I'm a huge fan of these immersive light events. The right lighting and sounds can transform just about any location into a magical experience!
Me too. This is one of the most magical I have seen!
@@californiathroughmylens Do they allow tripod during the visit?

@@tootsla1252 Thank you for your reply, i just found out on their website it says no tripod allowed while visitng Enchanted: Forest of Lights 2021.

I agree! Glad you got to see it!
I'd love to see this in person but am grateful to you that I can see it at all. Its just amazing. Thank you sooooooo much.

It was my first time ever going. I will have to go again when Christmas is over

Looks so relaxing. It’s easy to see how much they thought about which colors to use and when. And you captured it so well 👏👏
Thank you! It was so well put together with the lights and the sounds. Really immersive
Ty for your video, I'm planning to visit this year!

That is Amazing. Definitely one of my favorite videos.
That was great. Never knew anything like that was around. Thanks for sharing. We plan to visit.
California is so magical 😍💖
I went two weeks ago. It was wonderful! one of the things I like the most is that it's not Christmas themed.
Superb upload thank you 👍
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful indeed

So glad you liked it!
I love 💕 it
Fantastic! I’ll have to forward this to some LA friends.
Wow. God Bless You!!
That's so beautiful! Would live to go there sometime!
Awesome. I went to the “carve” event and this one seems like the opened it up more 🤩
Never been to that one, will have to check it out!
Thanks for sharing. I will be going in 2 weeks .
Really love your style and content. Straight forward and easy to watch. Thank you and keep the content coming!
Beautiful

No problem!
Looks interesting.
Almost the entire experience is wheelchair accessible 👍
That’s great! I should have noted that

This is really cool. You should check out holiday lights at calm in Bakersfield sometime.

Loved your camera work very colorful event. Did anyone get a wedding proposal in the trail of tulips area?! I wished I lived in California! Thx u

Where in SoCal is this place? I've lived here all my life and never heard of it and I'm 70yrs old.
La Canada Flintridge
It’s just a few blocks off the 210 freeway, west of Pasadena.
@@safirebleu77 thank you
@@tootsla1252 thank you
@@susanbaker641 De Nada! Hope you go and enjoy it.
what happened to the round jump pads that turn color? Only been there the first time it came around. That was absolutely the highlight.
They just played a sound when you walked on them

Yea, it is a bit high but I found it to be worth it personally. It was a very cool experience

Great video!! Quality was awesome! What lens/settings did you use? Thanks!
Around. What time does it start since in maps it says they close at 5

Pasadena, right?
Any coupon codes or options for cheaper tickets? It's pricey for a family.
Can you bring a tripod?
Can you please tell me if we are allowed to use a tripod in there to shoot photos?
I really wish it wasn't $30 for kids 12 and under. That reeks!
Cost: $32 per person? I guess somebody has to pay the electric bill. Would also hate to go around and change all the lightbulbs.

It’s over $30 tho 😭
Ya it is a little pricey but I wasn’t disappointed after visiting
