- 26 acre botanical garden, is a living museum of rare plants from around the world. With its ponds, streams and wildlife, it offers a tranquil retreat from our fast growing urban life.
- It is located on the northeast corner of the California State University, Fullerton campus, on Associated Rd. @ Yorba Linda (a few blocks from the 57 Fwy).
- Since its opening in 1979, the Fullerton Arboretum has served the community as a resource for ecological, horticultural, and historical education. It has also been a source of ideas for successful southern Californian gardens. Its future was in jeopardy recently when Cal State Fullerton was researching ways to expand its student parking lots.
- Heritage House, an 1894 Eastlake Victorian Cottage, nestled in the middle of the garden, is a charming example of turn-of the-century family life and medical practice.
- Tours: Self-guided tour brochures are available at the entrance. "Nature Guides" are available for groups by advance notice. Note: the grounds are available for events such as weddings and receptions.
- Nikkei Heritage Museum: the story of Japanese-American farmers in pre-WW2 Orange County. Open Saturday & Sunday from 12 to 4pm, Parking & Admission are free.
