"This attraction is a must see if visiting Southern California. The history and beauty of the mission is not to be missed. It is an inexpensive tour destination, that will not disappoint. Free parking is available (see their website for info), admission is inexpensive and if you go to their website y..."ou can download coupons for a free guided tour. They also offer a senior citizen rate. The gardens are beautiful and you can spend as much time as you need to explore the grounds. I recommend 3 hours minimally with guided tour. Easy to get to, and well worth your time if you are interested in the history of California.
