Rosicrucian Park is a five-acre public park and museum complex that serves as the headquarters for the American branch of the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, a philanthropic and cultural organization similar to Freemasonry. The park was established in 1927 and has grown to encompass an entire city block, home to the organization's English Grand Lodge for the Americas, as well as the world-famous Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, which presents the West Coast's most spectacular collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Other attractions within the park include the Akhenaton Shrine, the Rosicrucian Planetarium, and the organization's research library. Visitors can explore the park's grounds for free daily during daylight hours, including its beautiful Peace Garden, which is constructed according to Egyptian tradition and showcases plants that can be used for food and medicinal purposes. Visitors should note that while the park and peace garden are free to explore, other attractions may require a ticketed upcharge.
