READ MOREPasadena is a paradise for active seniors who love to immerse themselves in culture as much as they adore soaking in the sun. There are seemingly endless opportunities for long walks in beauty spots like the Eaton Canyon or Arlington Gardens, or vast open spaces like Brookside Park, with breathtaking views of the San Gabriel Mountains. There are lots of wonderful galleries like the Norton Simon Museum, which offers free entry on the first Friday of each month. While adults over 65 only make up 16% of the population, there are plenty of benefits for local seniors. This guide will provide further details about these resources later on.
