Allerton Garden, Botanical garden in Lawai Valley, Kauai, United States
The garden extends across 80 acres in a valley by Lawai Bay, featuring tropical plants, sculptures, water fountains, and architectural elements along winding paths.
Queen Emma of Hawaii resided in this valley before Robert Allerton and John Gregg Allerton purchased the land in 1938 to create their botanical masterpiece.
The garden merges Hawaiian natural elements with architectural designs, displaying collections of tropical plants gathered from Pacific islands and Asian countries.
Visitors can access the gardens through guided tours departing from the visitor center, with options including morning walks and exclusive sunset experiences.
The garden's Moreton Bay fig trees with their extensive root formations served as filming locations for multiple scenes in Jurassic Park.
