Beautiful fig tree! Its amazing how old trees can be. Its roots were so big that it was terrifying; it reminded me of big lizard tails

Be amazed by the Nations oldest Fig. tree. U can see its amazing size! Been here many times, never gets old.

This tree is amazing. How the roots have grown out of the ground youll never see anything like it. Right next to the train station.

Another quaint and hidden find in the city! This place is fun for both children and adults with a sign even saying adults must be accompanied by children.

A big giant fig tree next to the train station. There is nothing to it besides the train station and tons and tons of homeless people. You can smell the urine in the area and they hand their clothes on top of the tree so it can be tricky to take photos with the tree. It still worth 3 stats coz the fig tree is really huge and it is still amazing to see such a huge fig tree.

Stunning tree! Sometimes there are homeless people sleeping around the area but not usually the case.If you’re walking SB or riding your bike, don’t forget to stop here off State St.

Dad said its one of three in the southern cali area that he knows of. He remembers it from his youth. Hes 60 now. Cool little reminiscent place for him.

It rivals Big tree park in Los Angles. I think that fig tree is the same size. In youre in the area, its worth taking a peek at.

San Diego also has a fig tree but Santa Barbara tops the awe-inspiring beauty. Pictures capture the beauty but not the essence of the regality.

This is the biggest gig tree I’ve ever very seen! Everyone Must visit this powerful place!

Sick tree.. one of the best.. visit it. You won’t be sad

Majestic amazing tree. Not the greatest part of town. But or to stop by if youre into trees especially interesting very unusual trees just massive

Beautiful and enormous tree! It is very impressive. Worth going to see it. There’s a parking near by that is free for the first 75 minutes.

Great road side attraction. Quick stop and quite magnificent to see.

Tree is amazing and looks like a Dinosaur used to walk past and lounge.

Gorgeous tree, there is a plaque giving information on the tree but dont know why I felt I wanted to know more.

Very nice tree, dont miss it!

Wow! This fig tree is massive. Located right next to the bus terminal. Really easy to find. The tree casts a giant shade where you can take pictures and just cool off a bit. If you never seen a giant fig tree before, you have to see this one. I would check it out again if Im in the area.I post honest reviews and pictures of places we visit. Give me a like if you find it helpful.

A must see. This tree is truly giant! Pictures dont do it justice.

Impressive tree! So worth visiting if you are around

A tree lovers dream! This Ficus tree (Moreton Bay Fig) is the largest in America.

Worth checking out! This is a massive tree. There is also a train on display right next to it. Very impressed.

It is a bit in the middle of know here but it is a magnificent tree...

Its a cool big tree.... :)

How can you argue with the tree thats a 143 years old. It is said a 1000 people can stand in the shade of this Morton Bay Fig Tree. One of the largest in North America. Santa Barbara, California

That is the coolest and most impressive trees Ive ever seen. Awesome.

Wow never clim a tree this Big!

Incredible tree and great place to visit

Huge...right next to the Amtrack station, the trunk and roots are big, it still gives tiny figs, beautiful...it was planted in 1876!

Crazy cool and massive Aussie tree right in the middle of town

One of my favorite sites in all of Santa Barbara. This tree is massive and you are really dwarfed by the exposed root system. A must see.

Real Fast. I like the New Fast Order & Pay Kiosks. Lines... there are none. Theyre Fast ! SB TB Rocks !

Its a quick stop but worth it.Getting there was a little confusing but once we found it we liked taking pictures near the large exposed roots. Theres a chain around the tree to prevent people from climbing but you can still get close enough for pictures to turn out well.

Wow, just wow..Everyone needs to see this, it is Beautiful

I highly recommend including this fabulous historic fig tree as a pit stop in your travel plans! Its simply amazing! Its the largest known fig tree in the United States! The roots are from 0 to 3 plus tall! Youll leave energised tingly and feeling better and happier because Its energy is magical and awe inspiring! Its a great place to get grounded! Children luv climbing the massive root system as the Adults will truly appreciate its grandeur! I JUST LUV IT!

Freaking FANTASTIC!!! Craziest freak of nature tree Ive ever seen, branches as thick as a tree trunk & a trunk the size of three. This thing stands on a historic spot where some Spanish conquistador camped 200 years ago, but the tree is cooler than all that. Just stand under the thing, it left me in awe.

Its so unique & of its own distinct features of how it grows.Ive never seen any tree like it, until i got of Amtrak in Santa Maria, CA, ok would go there again just to see that tree. If u r ever in a that area make it a point to go look at it, its awesome.

This is one of those things you just have to see for yourself in person.

Ive been visiting this tree since I was a child. Photos do not do it justice. Huge!

This tree is so cool.

A giant tree. Can take good photos for Instagram.

This is the most massive fig tree I have ever seen! I love this thing. Its nestled in Montecito Ave in Santa Barbara next to the entrance to Amtrak and Greyhound station.; State Street and Montecito Avenue.

Very unique, beautiful, amazingly huge and oldest fig tree. Must see.

An absolutely wunderfull and AMAZING experience standing with this ancient Elder Mother of the Standing Tall Nation. Sacred and holy is its presence in the world.

Beautiful tree on our vacation to the California coast overnight at Marrow Bay.

Very big tree!

Beautiful sight to experience in person. Huge

Biggest fig tree in USA.

Visit that tree every time I am in townIts amazing

Incredible tree! looks like a giant dinosaur!

Its a really nice big tree.

This fig tree is beautiful and WIDE, this is almost as big as baobab tree.

Quick photo spot. Tree was planted from a sapling in 1800s. Parking is free for first 75 min.

If you want to see how big a tree can get, visit this Fig Tree, it will blow your damn mind. She’s a beast!

Beautiful. Another One. GOD did it again.

One big old tree. I remember as a child waiting for the stoplight on Chapala street to turn green onto Hwy 101, before the freeway.

Worth checking while in Santa Barbara. Nice area to visit

Nice tree, not an awful lots to see or do here, but worth a peek nevertheless.

A wonderfully beautiful huge fig tree well worth a stop. Theres also a big tree in Ventura in the park across from the mission if youre into such things.

Wonderful old tree. Good vibes and large roots

A must stop to see this beauty if you’re in the area. Easy parking nearby.

Very cool to see the big tree

Beautiful tree. Glad the parking is free for the first 75 minutes.DONT carve into the beauty and ruin it for everyone.

This tree is massive, this year its loaded with figs!

Its gorgeous

The original tree(actually 5 separate trees seeded closely) was dying of disease so Southern Pacific asked me to replicate the original, Southern Pacific giving me the seeds- copied the pattern of placing the seeds so that people would think it was the original.

With its enormous canopy of leaves high above its sprawling snake-like roots, the Morton Bay Fig Tree is a unique sight to see.

Beautiful tree

It’s a big bloody fig tree, im from Australia now and we’ve 7-8 on our street but still this is a good one

Gorgeous tree! It seems to also be a spot for homeless folks to nap, so I prefer to admire it from a little distance.

This is a really big tree, formerly the Home of the Homeless, but the mendicants have been chased off years ago. If you like big trees, you will like this one.

Such a big tree and very unique

This tree has been there for years. It is at the entrance to Union Station in Santa Barbara. It is massive and cool to see that the city has kept it around so long.

ITS GROWN ANOTHER 20 FEET SINCE 2012

Visit once..if you are around in santa Barbara area...

Incredible tree makes for great photos!

That is a very big tree. The history of the tree is very interesting and definitely worth visiting.

If you like plants check it out

It is a big big tree. Worth the stop just to check it out.

Nice place lots eating there well liked

Its fun and its free. Rare in this town.

Is the biggest tree that I saw in my life

I been coming santa barbara since 83 and i make time go see it

Cool spot. Historical. Its a massive tree with roots spreading out. Street Parking is free.

Its really huge!

This is one impressive tree! Really impressive. Different sources call it the biggest, as say it is on the National Register of Big Trees. Well I do my research and have been unable to locate this tree on national registers. Never trust everything you read on the web. So after some digging I find a Moreton Bay Fig in San Diego that is taller. This particular registry calls the Santa Barbara tree the one with the largest canopy. The national registrys are typically for native North American trees. The Moreton Bay Fig was brought to the US from Easter Australia. So..... What are you going to believe? Who knows? Well I sure dont know for sure. I am sure that this tree is huge, ginormous, really big, impressive and well worthy of a visit when in Santa Barbara. It is very near the Amtrak Station. One big tree for sure!

Beautifully historic! Ask the Lot Operator about the history of it, theyre super nice.

Amazing!!!only one in the united states must check it out!

This tree is so amazing that its hard to believe its real. Looks like something out of a movie. My family and I will never forget our trip to this cute little park.

Awesome tree. Magnificent and impressive.

This looks like mothertree of all fig trees

Small park near the railroad with gated parking lot, thats free for first 75 min. People come here to lay on grass or hide from heat under the huge tree, which is gorgeous with big roots spread out above ground. Located on walking distance to the ocean, about 10 min.

Giant fig tree i have never seen.. Felt bad its friuts get wasted as it is fully fenced..

Super beautiful tree. Definitely recommend seeing it if youre in town. Be prepared to see homeless people sleeping in the roots.

Such an amazing place! The tree is huge! And you can touch (signs said you cant) it remember that it contains all the information through the times it stands!

Great place to visit

A nice tree thats been here for a long time. I hope this tree sticks around much longer. This tree is truly a gift to the world just like many others.

Wicked looking fig tree. Awesome..

Cool to see a huge, old tree.

Free parking and a giant tree. Almost guarantee youve never seen a tree like this if youre not from CA. Just be aware homeless people like to sleep in the roots.
