Gardens / Arboretums, Encinitas
Fodor's Review:
Quail Botanical Gardens displays more than 4,000 rare, exotic, and endangered plants on 35 landscaped acres. Displays include plants from Central America, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, the Himalayas, Madagascar, and more; the largest collection of bamboo in North America; California native plants; and subtropical fruits. Kids can roll around in the Seeds of Wonder garden, explore a baby dinosaur forest, discover a secret garden, or play in a playhouse. An Under the Sea Garden is actually a rock garden of succulents that uncannily mimics an underwater environment.
