38 Best Stops Between Long Beach and San Clemente (2024)

7 lists

I've played many golf courses in California and other states in this country, when considering a balance of beauty, conditions and service.. this golf course is five stars in all categories starting with the views! If you want a down side to visiting this club than I would have to blame yourself for not being prepared for a tough course, accuracy and placement of shots are a must if your keeping score, I love this course! Its humbling and rewarding with tee boxes that are epic, greens true and fast with gorgeous ocean views. It's a must experience for mid to low handicappers, the service and food is unparalleled for a public use golf course. Bring your A game though, This course offers everything you'd want in a challenge and a fabulous place to enjoy your day on the links rivaling Pebble Beach and more challenging in my opinion.. Just awesome!I will be visiting again!

Beautiful golf course on the cliffs.

Nice ambience, and the course condition was very good, well maintained. The layout also was interesting, some with ocean views. Played late afternoon, comfortable, less expensive!

Beautiful location, the views are spectacular. The club is absolutely beautiful. The room was ornate and had million dollar views of the ocean and Catalina. Came here for a business meeting. I had a hard time focusing due to the impressive view.

good place for hiking, for walking ..very relaxing ..

One of the most beautiful courses in California! Top notch service, gorgeous views, and very well kept. Every hole has a view of the ocean, challenging layout and greens, and even some of the tee boxes are unique. A must play.

Excellent venue with a beautiful view of the ocean. So much room and wide spaces with plenty of parking. Food was great and staff were all friendly.

Dad's day excursion from Disneyland made it all worth while.Woke up early and made the drive to this scenic location less than an hour from Anaheim. Perfect day. Amazing scenery, landscaping, course, conditions and club house.It's expensive and challenging. You will need extra balls because there is no tolerance for errant shots. And even when you hit a good shot, chances are there's a perfectly groomed bunker in play.Abounding fauna on every hole, islands on the distant horizon and a travertine laced clubhouse serving local power brokers and Disneyland dads with equal enthusiasm. Make sure you stay for lunch, the food is as good as the setting and they keep craft beers ice cold on tap.

Nicer than Pebble, for the price! This is a great golf course.

The trail throughout the outskirts of the course is amazing for walks and getting exercise.

One of the toughest tracks I've played due to its length from the back tees and the tightness of the landing areas with the ocean breeze. Gorgeous landscaping, amazing fairways and tee boxes, fast and true greens. Highly recommended and a must play if you're in Southern California.

Although the ticket costs about $25, it is definitely worth the price. The gardens are exquisitely beautiful, with meticulous design and maintenance evident throughout. Any attractions labeled on the map are not to be missed. This is an ideal place not just for studying, but also for relaxing and taking photos.Visiting in February is too early as many other areas were not yet ready for visitors. However, we still had a wonderful experience exploring the Japanese garden, Chinese garden, and the tropical and desert gardens. It would be best to plan a visit in and after April.If I were a local resident, I would definitely purchase a membership and visit the place every week.

Wow! Just wow! The gardens are amazing! You need more than one day here just to see all the beautiful gardens! My favorite gardens were the Japanese gardens. The museum of European Art, home to Pinkie and Blue Boy was also excellent and definitely worth a visit. Great experience overall and we’ll definitely have to come back!

This was a perfect place to go for my birthday date with my boyfriend! The gardens were absolutely beautiful and the museums were very well maintained and organized. I would definitely recommend going on a cooler day as only a few of the gardens have shade, but the museums are air conditioned! I would highly recommend coming here whether it's for a family outing or date, and can't wait to come back!

Third time here. Becoming a member if you live within an hour drive or less is worth it. It's an amazing place to visit and see all the areas on the grounds. Some buildings were closed for reasons unknown since I didn't read the signs, but still a great place to relax and see some great sights and take photos. Super kid friendly too. Cafe with tons meal options on site. They offer little mini cart rides too, but plan on walking so pack accordingly and bring water as well (they do sell it also)

This place is Beautiful and HUGE be ready to spend the day here and still not see everything. The price is $29 non member parking is free. The Japanese and Chinese Garden are amazing. A must see. The have tram rides ( I seen the drop off spots) not sure how often they run. Lots of people but not crowded. Went on a Monday

The Huntington Gardens & Library is absolutely amazing! The beauty of the trees, plants and flowers is beyond description. The quality of the artwork and manuscripts on display is awe-inspiring. We had the best tour with a docent named Nicholas on Sunday morning. He was incredibly well-informed about the history of the property, the different types of vegetation, and the history of the artwork. We loved it so much, we bought a membership because we plan to go back many times throughout the year!

They’ll be checking your tickets twice! So don’t put it away after the first time. I went on a weekend 11 AM and it wasn’t too busy. Parking was packed though. Lots of flowers and life here! If you go right, then you’ll hit the museum first. Its chilly in there so if it’s hot, go to the museum to cool off. They do have a kids area where kids can play with water and mist! They also have a greenhouse you can explore. The entire place is beautiful! I think they can add a bit more directions on floor or around the gardens. We got lost since it’s so big. Their gift shop things are so cute too!

The botanical garden that you must visit. Variety of climate zones from desert to tropics is rather big - make sure to spend at least 2-3 hours. Japan garden location with bonsai trees warmed my heart - so many of them and so lovely! If you’re into art - check modern art one and the one with library, Italian art and sculptures.

Beautiful gardens, very nicely designed. I recommend buying tickets/making reservations in advance; we did so and there was no wait time. We visited the Chinese and Japanese Gardens, and they were amazing! In particular, the Japanese Garden had a really nice Bonsai tree section that I enjoyed. It was very sunny and hot, though, so if you’re visiting in the summer, hats and sunscreen are a must.

This place makes you feel as though you are enveloped within a living painting. A truly magical place. We did not explore the entire park, but will be back soon! I highly recommend visiting this place. The weekend was a little too busy for our liking. We felt rushed in some areas. However there are pockets of quiet sprinkled throughout this park. Absolutely amazing.

Absolutely an amazing collection of themed gardens and landscapes. While some look good year round, late Spring and Summer are the best times to come see everything in bloom, especially the rose garden. Plan on a whole day to tour gardens and maybe have time to visit some of the museum collections. There is a tea house which is lovely for lunch. Plenty of subject matter if you are a photographer. If I lived nearby, would certainly pickup a membership.

Amazing place. You can easily spend a whole day here, maybe two days. There are multiple art museums, and so many different gardens. Visited in January when a lot of the plants were barely starting to bloom but it’s was still very lovely. Highly recommend membership if you live in the area at all.

This was a lovely estate with botanical gardens, mansion, museum and library. The cafe had an excellent selection of food and was very spacious. The entire experience was positive and you can easily spend the entire day there. The gift shop was also very good. The children’s garden was fun for the kids.

The Boone Gallery is my favorite Gallery here! The gardens are wonderful. It definitely has a corporate feel now that it is not owned by the family. I love the succulent varieties here. The Japanese garden is getting a wonderful renovation to the tea house! I really can't wait!

An absolutely beautiful spot to check out for locals and tourists alike. Ticket prices are a bit high, but totally worth it! You gain access to the library, art gallery, and the expansive grounds with many acres of different themed gardens. My personal favourite is the Chinese Garden. You could easily spend an entire day here exploring the grounds, and because they’re so expansive, it never feels crowded, even on a busy summer day. There are also a number of food, drink, and coffee options on-site should you feel hungry. All in all a great experience, highly recommend checking it out!

Beautiful views and great way to have some exercise, enjoy the past and present. This place is a magnificent, kept up well over the years and continues to be preserved. I'm so impressed at the gardens and I love the artwork and history behind all the old books and letters of the past. I feel like you really need a few days to come here to really absorb and enjoy everything.Bring snacks n drink, helps to keep you going.

Absolutely love this place. Well organized, exquisitely maintained, and there's always something being added, repaired, or improved. The staff are always friendly and patient when I interact with them and it's never too busy to feel like you're unwelcome.Perfect for family walks, taking your grandparents to get some exercise, afternoon tea, a picnic, or just relaxing on the grass to get some sun. The food can be pricey but the Chinese garden restaurant has some great options. The BBQ jackfruit vegan sandwich and the noodles are highly recommended.Make sure to make an appointment in advance if you want to visit during high-traffic periods.

August at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is a sensory feast for the senses. The botanical gardens are in full bloom, with vibrant colors and lush greenery at their peak. The Rose Garden is a particular highlight, boasting thousands of blooming roses in a spectrum of hues, creating a mesmerizing display of beauty and fragrance.As you explore the gardens, the warm August weather adds to the charm, making it an ideal time for leisurely strolls and picnics amidst the stunning landscapes.

This is such a beautiful place. The gardens are spectacular. My personal favorite is the rose garden in spring. This last time we went we divided to try out the cafe. The staff was happy and friendly and the food was Topnotch. I love to take visitors here. It always impresses.

Always a pleasure. The grounds right now are so green and lush. Temperatures are mild. Camilla are just finishing blooming and roses are a few weeks out from blooming. Cherry trees are beautiful and some spring flowers still visible. The succulent blooms are still visible as well.

My wife and I came here this afternoon because she wanted to visit this place after hearing such good things. They had a sign that said tickets were sold out so good thing we got our tickets in advance. Finding parking was okay but I could see a lot of spot being taken. It was the first day after the rain storm we had so a lot of people came out. The weather was perfect and the flowers were blooming. We were able to check out the art gallery, rose garden, herb garden, Chinese garden and Japanese Garden. This is a good place to go for walks and just enjoy nature as well. I would highly recommend coming here if you haven't yet.

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is a magical destination that’s perfect for a family outing. It's an ideal spot to take the kids for a picnic, surrounded by stunning nature, vibrant flowers, and serene lakes. The Children's Garden is especially enchanting, offering a variety of engaging activities where kids can explore, make music from stones, and enjoy hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, the Chinese Garden is a breathtaking highlight, with its beautiful architecture, tranquil ponds, and lush landscaping, adding to the overall perfection of this remarkable place.While there is an admission fee, the experience is well worth every penny for the unforgettable memories created here. General admission is $29 for adults, $24 for seniors (65+), and $13 for children (4-11). EBT cardholders and students with valid ID receive discounted rates, making this enchanting experience more accessible to everyone.

Just go. What an amazing experience. Would definitely go during the week if possible, and avoid school vacations. We purchased tickets for early entry at 10:00 am, and got there a little late and the parking lot was already quite full. But having a pass makes entry a breeze. It was our first time and we loved what we experienced: The Chinese Garden, The Japanese Garden and the American Art Collection, which was exceptional and not crowded. We did not see everything so a pro tip is to pick your priorities and come back. Note that we walked four miles and didn’t cover the entire estate. The gift shop was delightful as well. Lots of food options and bathrooms and benches to take a rest. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place, worth the visit if you enjoy nature. The whole smells of flowers which is nice. Weekends can get busy, better to go weekday for a better and more peaceful experience

Wow. This place was amazing. Visited here on the suggestion of a friend and wasn’t disappointed. The gardens are beautiful and simply amazing. The art galleries are interesting and a nice size. The conservatory was pretty and great place for kids to interact. Lots of places to eat and plenty to see. We spent a few hours here but you could easily stay all day. There is a loop trail to follow which is easy to walk and runs through a series of gardens including Chinese, Japanese, desert, Australian, sub tropical and others. Great place to bring the family or catch up with friends. I cant believe this place is not more widely known. One of the best places we have been to in LA. Entrance fee $25 for adults. We will definitely be back.

We spent 2 hours visiting the gorgeous Japanese and Chinese gardens and was blown away by the scale and magnificence of our surroundings. So peaceful and serene, there is so much to see and take in (the flowers smell lovely too!) The gardens really transport you to another world, it's very moving. We will return and set aside a whole day to see everything.

Visiting the Huntington Library and Gardens in Los Angeles was an exquisite experience. The remarkable collection of art and rare books dazzled with its diversity and beauty. The tranquil atmosphere of the gardens and ponds provided an ideal setting for relaxation and contemplation.It's fantastic that the regular admission ticket costs $29, and it's advisable to book in advance to avoid queues.Additionally, the staff members exhibited a high level of professionalism and friendliness, ready to assist with any inquiries. Their loyalty and hospitality made my visit even more enjoyable and memorable

I remember coming to these gardens as a little girl when I lived in Los Angeles. I moved to Hawaii 30 years ago but have since come a few times to the gardens. This last visit I was surprised to see an entrance fee $25/pp. I don't remember ever paying to visit the gardens. However, I suppose these are different times. We spent at least three hours walking the gardens and didn't see everything but we were so tired from walking. The Japanese and Chinese gardens are absolutely spectacular and that is where we spent most of our time. The library was interesting but not what I had expected. we ended after three hours and sat in the restaurant near the entrance. We ate a "snack" before our dinner which was a deliciously prepared pizza.We came on spring break for Hawaii and the parking lot was pretty crowded. But the grounds are so humongous we did not feel like there were many others around us as much. I totally recommend this place for anyone visiting.

Make sure you stop by the Chinese gardens. The Bonsai on display there are just incredible. The structures and lake make for an impressive addition to what is already a beautiful landscape.The admission price was somewhat high, but well worth it. I spent the whole day there and wished I had an extra day to explore every corner of this beautiful place.

A lot to say!I love nature and love learning new things!Little time here so i couldn't explore much.That was spontaneous and we were so in love with those distinctive things about Huntington! Such an ideal place to take your family and kids here to learn new things and the history.Will be back so soon:)

This place is incredible. Careful with timing, we were there on a Monday afternoon in March and it was pretty busy. Make a reservation if you want to be sure you'll get in. Cost is $25 for adults, parking is free. We walked the whole park in a couple hours, you can really tailor it to whatever length you want it to be. Don't skip the art museums inside either, they were worth a chunk of the time there. You really can't pick a favorite at this place, check it all out!

Gorgeous grounds and a unique museum. The addition of chinese garden and expanded cafeteria, gift shop made this botanical garden more attractive. A day can be easily spent wandering the manicured gardens, museum and well curated gift shop.

Wow. What an absolutely beautiful collection of art and plants and books and many other wondrous things. I spent 5 hours here and still didn’t manage to see everything this place had to offer! As it’s currently summer, the heat was definitely slowing me down at times but thankfully there are lots of indoor areas and shaded outdoor areas that offered a reprieve from the hot temps. Can’t speak for the weekends, but going on a Monday it wasn’t terribly busy. The staff I encountered were all very friendly and informative. This experience was definitely worth the cost!

This place was incredible!! I’m a recent graduate in horticulture so it was amazing to see the huge variety of plants on the property. The desert gardens were by far my favorite part of the whole property, but I also thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the gardens that we saw as well as the American Art displays. I was worried the gardens would be a little sparse since I visited in the winter, but there was more than enough to see thriving on the grounds. I would recommend buying tickets in advance and getting there when it opens so you can avoid any crowds. You also need to plan spending several hours here if you want to see all that is has to offer!

I had not been to the Huntington Library for decades. Once you get past the abominable lack of parking at 10:30 a.m. it is pretty good.We missed out on getting Tea reservations, but the 1919 Cafe was great. We ate outside in the perfect weather. The Japanese garden, the Rose Garden, and the Cactus garden were my favorite gardens. It is so scenic there. The main house in amazing. The Art Gallery is great. It was a good day at the Gardens.

Beautiful gardens, library and museums. We spent hours walking around and enjoyed every different section. The Chinese Garden and the desert garden were the stand outs! The plants are beautiful and healthy.We recommend buying tickets in advance. The morning before, the first two time slots were sold out. We went on a Saturday at noon and the parking lot was quite full. It took us a few minutes to park and then another few minutes to get in.

Recommend this place for anyone looking to sync in with nature. this place offers several beautiful gardens, such as Japanese Chinese Australian etc. I recommend going early in the morning, specially in I am hot Summer days. The only downside was not many cafés accessible to visitors. I only have a small suggestion to the shuttle driver working inside the gardens I expect her to be more patient and professional.

Lovely Day for this nature lover! Strolled the gardens and inside the Huntington’s home, jungle / bog buildings. So many unique and exotic plants! I love to come annually during different months to see different areas in bloom. Beautiful artwork inside the home. Food and drinks were fantastic! See my photos

This place is very disappointing.When you read outlet, you think lots of stores. The options at this place are very small (not many sales and I came on labor day weekend) and I frequently have walked away empty handed!There is no store here I can rave about.The malls are even better than this “outlet.”I gave it 3 stars because it is clean, parking is plenty&easy, and bathrooms are nice.

They have practically every outlet you can think of - from gap, guess and old navy to high end like emporio Armani and Tumi. Of course, there’s also Michael kors, coach, Kate spade, Disney, Steve Madden and Calvin Klein.The building itself is quite impressive and the mall is well laid out.There are many restaurants and food options too from Starbucks and jamba juice to chipotle, Cinnabon and auntie Annie’s

The Citadel Outlets is a popular shopping center located in Commerce. It's known for its outlet stores offering discounted prices on a variety of brand-name products. The center features over 130 stores, including fashion, accessories, and home goods. The architecture resembles a Babylonian fortress, giving it a unique and visually interesting design. It's a destination for bargain hunters and those looking for a diverse shopping experience.Parking can be a madhouse so bring some extra patience with you when you come.

We stated in Doubletree Hotel and this outlet was in a very short walking distance. There are no high end stores but it’s very very nice. They have some very good restaurants with plenty of outdoor seating.I love the design of stores and everything is very neat and clean. I was there on weekday afternoon and there was no crowd, but by 4pm it was very busy. This seems like a great place for families either small kids because in very safe area.

Citadel outlets is huge shopping outlets mall. Lotta parking options. Lotta walking. Huge food court. Many hugh street shops. Great place for family.

Not the biggest outlet town but it has majority of the big brands available. Place is nicely designed and there are signs and maps everywhere to help you get your way around instead of getting lost trying to find your favourite outlets.The food available at the outlets could definitely be improved though, as there are less than 10 shops/restaurants there selling food. As the weather is cold, maybe would be good if there are more indoor seats around for people to rest in between shopping.The staff in each of the outlet stores are mostly pleasant and helpful. No racism was encountered and they even assisted to unlock further discounts!

Here you’ll find stores like Coach, Nike, Kate spade, true religion, DKNY, and many others at this outlet. Considering it’s an outlet mall, they don’t always have the best offers.The mall is nice and clean and plenty of parking space available.I wish they had more stores and some better offers.Overall it’s a 3.5 stars for me.

I'm from Arizona, the plants alone are amazing to look at. Lots of great stores and good deals. The food court wasn't too shabby either.

Whether you’re looking for a great deal on designer clothes or just want to enjoy a relaxed shopping trip, Citadel Outlet is the perfect destination for you in Los Angeles.

Fire hazard issue during open business hours the entire mall was designed with several entrances and exits, but they only keep one open.Thats a public safety hazard in case of fire, emergencies, earthquake and so on people will stay trap in here hopefully the President CEO of this Outlets have all doors open during business hours before a tragedy happens.

I have visit citadel outlet mall for the first time in this mall is absolutely amazing.They literally have everything high-quality for cheap priceThe mall have the best stores that you looking for .They have more than three different areas with public restrooms, which is very comfortable. They have great food court and they have a lots of parking areas.The place looks very clean and the stores are really cheap and high-quality .This place is great to visit during the week to not have some traffic’s .

Citadel is MUCH better than it used to be years ago. It's definitely the best outlet center in the Greater LA Metro, and you no longer have to drive all the way to Cabazon (almost Palm Springs...) to find good prices.

Convenient to drive there, close to residence. Parking area is inside building which is good.Not big, price is not competitive,doesn’t have much discount.

Loads of stores and eateries!Very clean, good signs all over, stores are all in good order and staff is very polite.Restrooms are super spacious and clean

We found the Citadel Outlets really pleasant to shop at. It was not overly crowded like some of the Simon Premium Outlets we have been to in other cities in USA and Canada. Their Savings Passport, which you can sign up online to obtain, is actually useful and the shops allow you to use it to obtain further discounts

I love it here! Window shopping is the best🤩 Although I didn't buy anything, I went inside some stores just to look at stuff. I've been here a couple of times in the past and never got bored visiting this great place. Would definitely come here again in the future 😊

Quite an enjoyable experience. Took a Lyft down but do look out for Lyft pickup points. Not so easy to find on the way back.Not all brands are heavily discounted. Food is not cheap and of poor quality.Many police cars came when we were there.

A decent size outlet with most of the shops that you would want.I didn’t like the Nike or Coach outlets here as they barely had any of their items in stock, most of the other shops were all good.We went over the Christmas period so it was very busy and hard to find parking, we ended up using the valet service for $8 which is well worth it for the day.

So many shops! Something for everyone. We definitely will be visiting again when in CA.Free parking in garage.

Loved the Christmas vibes throughout.Great deals over Thanksgiving weekend. Kate Spade had 50-70% + 25% storewide. There’s also a pop up Lululemon but designs are limited in my size.Pro tip: visit very early in the day, or closer to closing time to avoid the massive crowd. The place was PACKED!

I’m think it’s the best shopping outlets near Los Angles . Lots of stores that regular people can afford unlike some of those malls that only have designer brand stores.There are lots of free parking available

WowSuperb and great place for shopping where you will find most of the brands.Prices are very reasonable as well.

There's FREE parking structure with remaining parking spots left indicators. There's also an elevator and stairs. It is also lighted and well lit when it gets dark. There are also vending machines near the elevators and stairs on the bottom level. Love the seasonal decor. Great place to shop for great deals and enjoyed walking.

The Citadel did not have those buster deals this visit. The stores didn’t have those awesome sales I’m use to see here! This outlet has a lot of the main high end stores as well as the less expensive stores. Merchandise is fully stocked in the stores. Each of the stores I entered I was greeted and asked if I was looking for anything specific. If I needed anything help the client advisor offered his/her name. Kate Spade ♠️ had 70% off sale. 😧The food area has a variety of food options. There is free parking in the structure or in the lot. Either get there early for parking or valet your vehicle without the hassle of looking for a parking space. You can also avoid the long line when you arrive early. Happy 😃 shopping 🛍️.

Best outlets in Los Angeles.Disney store is the must visit store to score some Disney stuff with discounted prices.my kids loved all the Disney toys 😊

this place consider the safety places because there is regular safety officer walking around. if there are homeless there the safety officer will ask them leave that's also 1 of the things I face, they ask me money and a safety officer saw it and ask that guy to leave. shopping wise for branded stuff like LEvi is worth the price. but if you say coach and Michael kors Singapore is much cheaper. also the food wise same brand Singapore still cheaper.

I love going to the restaurant, the nacho fries are amazing. My waitress was great she attended us so greatly, I think her name was Sarah. But as I was paying attention I feel like everyone was treating her badly for no reason. She was doing her job fine, doing what she was suppose to be doing but the treatment she was getting by the people working there was not great at all. I would have given it 5 stars because my family loves coming here to eat the appetizers but that did not sit right for me on how they treat their workers. It may have looked like she was new to the job but if she was then maybe they shouldn’t be giving her a hard time. Sarah was an amazing waitress and I hope I get to see her soon.

Clean rooms, and responsive customer services. Food is delicious and had wide variety of tasty meals. I really enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back here again. Noel is outstanding and has been very supportive and courteous to me and my spouse during our entire stay. We are definitely coming back again

Hotel Parkway exceeded my expectations with its exceptional ambiance and top-notch amenities. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and spacious, featuring everything you might need, including a locker, iron, and ironing table. The free valet parking was a fantastic convenience that made my stay even better. A special shout-out to Noella at the front desk, who was wonderfully helpful and attentive. Highly recommend!

This is my casino! Been going here for about 15 years now, and this is definitely the best casino in LA by far! Hotel is really nice, and the casino itself has some great floor men/women who I know love me just as much as I love them...😜😜. You also got your regular players including myself, who make this place what it is.....see you guys tonight!!!

Amazing hotel for a fair price, as long as you have a car and can move around.Downtown is not the best area for a tourist, but we didn’t mind driving.Clean and very spacious rooms, but no room service.Would definitely recommend staying here

The Bike is a good place to play poker. The staff is very friendly, and they offer lots of different types of poker and Asian games. I like that they give a $4/hour credit to poker players so you can eat for free after a few hours of play.They started asking for ID at the fort recently, which I don’t like, but at least they are nice about it, and they don’t hassle you about bringing in a beverage from outside unlike the gardens casino which treats you like a criminal.I used to play at the gardens and the bike, but the bike is so much more player-friendly, that I now play only at the bike.I now consider the bike the best and only good place for poker in LA. My advise is to avoid the Gardens casino, and go to the bike.

Had a great stay here, excellent service from the staff. They arranged for a higher floor with a view since we were staying here for sometime. Valet service for hotel guest too. Convenient location as it is near a huge supermarket and lots of food options around the hotel. Room was big and spacious too. Only down side was the blackout curtain only cover half the room. So the morning sun will hit the room.

This is the best casino - everyone was great and food was good. Players and staff did their best - all employees were friendly and cool. After you run into so many headaches elsewhere, Bicycle is the best place to play poker now.

We had a very bad experience at this Casino. Not sure if its discrimination. We had come back to the hotel after spending first night there and room was not cleaned so we just kind of blew it off. We then decided since no room service that we needed at least some wash cloths. They sent some to our room except they were small towels, also I still thanked the person and figured we will call downstairs again and order wash cloths. This time the same person brings us washcloths but one is torn and they are all dirty and not folded when he hands them to me. I went downstairs to front desk and spoke with manager and her response was I’m sorry the person who took the wash cloths to you is autistic. I immediately let her know I have a Grandson who is autistic. Then she looked at me a little more concerned and then says she will take off the $10 dollar fee a night they charge additional I believe for something to do with parking. I told her its not the money its the principal. They then handed me two bags with clean towels. I felt insulted for my Grandson because of her reason and discriminated against for that incident

I really enjoyed my stay here at this hotel. The location was great. The hotel itself is a gem. Beautiful bar area. Free valet parking. Outdoor pool that was very nice although I was surprised that it closed at 6 pm. Gorgeous and spacious rooms with a great view. The shower was amazing. I will definitely return on my next visit.

For anyone seeking true healing, especially those like me who have battled chronic pain for a long time without discovering a workable solution, I heartily recommend Regen LA. I felt immediately at ease during my first consultation with the team, especially Rob who helped with it. Rob exuded warmth and a high level of expertise.

I've been here at least 4 times over the past year and this past stay was so awful, I will not return. I was playing baccarat in the high limit room and it took over 30 mins to get a drink. The pit boss and dealers were rude and condescending. Awful casino that does not pay attention to detail or hospitality.

All in all, the stay was fine. The hotel room was very clean & big enough. The hotel staff was friendly & the restaurant/ café food very good. The Valtet service staff were also extremely friendly & efficient. The fitness was also very well equipped. But now the negative. The casino security staff were extremely annoying. When we walked from the elevator at the lobby to the small café in the morning, we were stopped in an unfriendly manner & had to show our IDs. We said every time that we didn't want to go to the adjacent casino but only to the café and this was ignored. can't I even go for breakfast here without leaving my ID in my room in the same hotel? It would be desirable if you set the whole thing up a little more cleverly & consider/control the restaurants & cafes independently of the casino. Unfortunately, this is definitely a reason for us not to come back.Hotel 4/5Food 5/5Rest 2/5

Location is great! Close to where I live. Hate the service tho, especially from the mob group, I mean “security guards. They like to hog tie innocent people and asphyxiate people for no reason….

We had a great stay. Complete 5 stars for us. From the room to the service. Amazing! The only thing I could critique is the omelet I had for breakfast. It was good but not great. Other than that we are sooooo happy. Thank you for a great anniversary stay. It will be remember. Totally would book again and completely recommend.

I have been playing at this card room for the past 25 years and recently since Parkwest took ownership the place has been going down hill, slow service with attitude bad dealers making mistakes all the time and the floor people are useless with their bad rulings even when dealers make mistakes. Here is a perfect example (on the turn UTG player goes all in & I call the dealer over looks that the button has cards and puts out the river card then realizes his mistake and calls the floor man who then makes the decision to kill the river card and deal another one even though the button did not call the large turn all in and gets to see the river for free and still has an option to act) what planet is that fair on? Don’t play here many better options in the LA area

Most casinos are shady to begin with, I don't believe there's an innocent casino to begin with. But there are some serious issues going on here. They're already under fire for money laundering issues, which is no surprise and they chose to pay a settlement to hush this up, but they have been actively trying to cover up a murder that their own security guards have committed against an innocent man. The man was peacefully trying to leave the casino, when the casino "security" guards (more like mob thugs), tackled him into the ground, hog tied him, and suffocated him with their knees. It was bad enough that one of the security guards that was present didn't want to take part in this and was horrified at what happened. Regardless, the casino has been trying to cover this up the entire time, hence there is very little news on this subject.

Beautiful rooms, hotel and casino. Very convenient location outside downtown. Easy and free valet parking included and a very low nightly resort fee ($10-15). I will definitely be staying here again.

DO NOT COME HERE if you are not prepared for the worst service ever!!!! The fact that the housekeeper could steal your belongings, then lie about it, and the management team will not help but dodge responsibilities is beyond me.We lost a ring inside the room we stayed in and the only possiblity was that it was thrown away or taken by the housekeeper, yet they refused to compensate!!!My wife took the ring off during shower and set it on the seating/counter area inside the shower. We left the room without it believing that for hotels like this it would totally be okay. Came back to find that room was cleaned and ring was gone. Filed a report that night at the front desk because obviously the manager does not come in until the next morning.The next afternoon their manager Jessica called me and said that the only person that entered the room was the housekeeper, and yes they said they saw the ring and left it where it was. The manager also said that they looked everywhere in the room but did not find anything. If the manager was telling the truth, then the ring was not in the room, then the only logical possibility would be that either the housekeeper kept it for herself or she threw it away!!This happened inside a room on the hotel soil and was highly likely caused by a hotel employee, yet they refused to compensate for my loss. I have called and left voice mails a couple times since but have heard nothing. We know well that these hotels have insurances to cover these kind of situations, but because we are from out of state and they know it would be hard for us to contact them after we left, they think it's okay to play dead.Whoever comes in and stays here: yeah you better lock everything inside their lockers, or you might be lucky enough to have the same housekeeper that comes in to steal from you.Even one star is too many.

The bicycle casino is a money laundering scheme, their security team murdered Jonathan Jung, and then they tried to cover it up. Their lawyers forced his sister to watch his murder and she took her own life. Arrest the owner, everyone else involved and shut the place down.

Had a short steroid looking security guard kick us out before even going in. He radioed in to the front door guy that we were drunk and peeing in the parking lot. I had literally just gotten out of my truck when he came up to us. Will never come back. Definitely not a place to come kick it after hours unless your a gambling addict

Security kind of rude can't just watch people play not like commerce much better to watch if you don't play

Stayed here a few weeks for work and staff was great and made good money on the card tables

(REVIEW by someone who didn’t book this hotel for the casino area) the hotel is much nicer inside, don’t be fooled by its building appearance. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful, and the rooms are very clean.With that said, the food service was horrible. I ordered food through their app and received notification that my food was done. When I went downstairs however, there was no food in sight at the pickup station. I went to the female servers and both just pointed me to the pickup station and wait there. None of them noticed my food was already done and sitting there. I even gave my name, and they didn’t even bother checking. Fast forward one hour later, one of the male staff approached me and I told him my name and he came out apologizing and gave me my food which was cold. He offered to remake it but I waited way too long to even wait for another. Forgot to ask for his name, super nice guy! The girls though, need to train more because I’m not sure how you can miss a pizza box and a plastic bag sitting there for an hour alone. It didn’t help that I watched two other staff got their food first from the pick up station…

we were stranded by a nightmare airbnb at 3am so we called this hotel so we’d have a place to stay and they took such good care of us. they really went above & beyond in every single way. we stayed for 2 nights. the hotel room & bathroom were beautiful & comfortable. valet was included in the price & they are so fast! the food options were convenient & reasonably priced. i wish we could’ve stayed longer to explore the pool & spa. we will 10000000% be back. & we will always remember your kindness!

The rooms made ya think you weren't at the bike. Service was great throughout the trip. The 2 star rating was after checking out I forgot several items. Contacted the hotel and was told I would be expecting an email containing my records from my 8 night stay along with a link to recover my property. Never received the email called back twice and was shrugged off to please call back and speak with the manager who never seems to be working.

Their staff in Valet is amazing. If you stay here Valet is free. The rooms are super clean and it feels like Vegas. Love this hotel.

Joseph is the best however idk how limiting is served something to think about when u come to spend it’s not always welcomed but Joseph car service was amazing but bar service has questioned they won’t serve ur money

At 11:00 p.m., the croupiers at the baccarat table get to work. Among them were several Chinese men in their thirties and forties, tall and with extremely arrogant attitudes. They only care about money and tips. This kind of person has no personality at all and has no sense of responsibility for his work.

Don’t come here unless you want to be treated like a criminal by the security guards with absolutely no reason. I’ve always came here and now there’s problems and plus they killed some guy on the property I’m 2021 so I’m not giving them any more of my money

I LOVE this arboretum! What a wonderful experience. And the little cafe is a great place to get a snack and a cup of coffee and watch the peacocks in the trees. Lots of great gardens to walk through and take in all the sights and smells. Parking was easy. The coffee and lemon cake were delicious. If I lived closer I would consider getting a membership. I highly recommend this fantastic place.

The Los Angeles County Arboretum is an absolute gem for families seeking a delightful outdoor adventure. Whether you're exploring the diverse flora or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll amidst nature's beauty, this garden is sure to captivate your senses.The sheer abundance and variety of plants on display is truly remarkable. From towering trees to delicate blooms, the garden is a haven for plant enthusiasts of all ages. If only the garden could provide an app or other interactive guides to introduce these botanical wonders, it would undoubtedly enhance the learning experience for children.Another welcome addition would be the installation of one or two additional public restrooms, particularly considering the vast expanse of the garden.Overall, my first visit to the Los Angeles County Arboretumwith my parents was such an enjoyable experience that they decided to become members on the spot. The garden offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing an opportunity to reconnect with nature and appreciate its splendor.

Such an amazing place for a walk with family or the loved one.Every inches of the garden is a beauty.It took us almost an hour to drive from home but it was nothing after we entered the garden.Loves the Peacocks "the guardian of the doors", LOL.Tips:- wear comfortable shoes- buy tickets online!!

Been here twice, both visits were awesome. The house here is from a TV showed called Fantasy Island. The flora and fauna are not to be missed. The grounds are immense so wear comfortable shoes. The peacocks and peahens are plentiful. There is lots to look at and explore. Enjoy!

Beautiful park crawling with wildlife and captivating natural views. I love the waterfalls and rose garden the most. It’s spring so the animals are very active at this time and love to get close up to you. Be prepared for a lot of walking and heat but it is a perfect outing for the entire family!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been back and they have a couple of changes. For starters, the entrance is being remodeled so you now enter in the middle of the parking lot area. There are also some green houses that I do not remember seeing 4 or 5 years ago. It’s pretty nice.I bought tickets a month in advance and picked a later time in the day. I am glad because the weather ended up being pretty hot! Going at 4pm was still sweat-inducing and there isn’t much shade.What hasn’t changed are all the peacocks that roam around, needing to watch the ground so you don’t step on poo, and the water fall is still one of the main attractions!There is a nice view at the top of the waterfall of the tree tops and mountains.Queen Anne’s cottage is being renovated right now but we did see a cute turtle roaming around on the grass freely.Didn’t get to take the tram this time but the grounds are very expansive. Be prepared to walk a lot! Bring water! It’s fun to explore though.

Perfect arboretum to study different plant families and native trees! It's a walk, so we dressed comfortably. There are two parking lots, so there is plenty of space. The peacocks are so sweet, and the cafe had great lunch options. Hopefully, the gift shop will open up soon for our next visit!

The LA County Arboretum is such a nice place to visit anytime of the year. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the Arboretum is always immaculate while maintaining its natural beauty. I love going and just meandering through the different areas amongst the peacocks, Canada Geese and other critters. Besides the amazing collection of flora, there ponds, waterfalls, sculptures and historical buildings & more to enjoy. It is definitely someplace that distracts me into a calm and content state. (At this time- The Arboretum participates in the Museums for All program and waives the typical cost of admission for anyone with proof of EBT benefits and photo ID and 1 guest)

Calling all Plant and outdoor lovers!! Immerse yourself in nature this summer!!The LA County Arboretum & Botanical Garden is a natural and historic wonder! It’s one of the nation's top tourist destinations! FREE DAY is the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Reserve online. Limited to 5 tickets per reservation. No outside food is allowed in the gardens.They offer activities including concerts, nature and gardening classes. Arboretum Summer Nights with live music on select Fridays on the event lawn. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs and have a picnic. They also have Goat Yoga with Hello Critter. @hellocrittercare For all activities, reserve online to ensure that you don’t miss out!!There’s so much beauty all around! It’s hard to see everything in a day so enjoy and take your time!

Lovely, but not too many colorful gardens too see. I was expecting to see lots of different colored flowers.There are lots of trees of all kinds, cactuses, maguey, etc.Speaking of animals, we only saw ducks and peacocks.$15 admission fee per adult (must be purchased online)* we got to see a peacock pecking the front cars' tire, at the EXIT

We had our wedding here on 7/9/23 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and a more beautiful venue. We had our ceremony in the gazebo on the Event Lawn, and the reception at the Peacock Cafe. We were able to take beautiful photos all around the arboretum.Carlos and Nicole who run the on-site Peacock Cafe also take care of weddings, and they were AMAZING! Carlos helped us set up all the logistics and made sure everything we wanted was able to happen. Nicole made us a completely vegan menu (dumpling-based buffet( that was DELICIOUS! She was lovely to work with and we couldn't believe this was her 2nd-ever vegan wedding. Everyone raved about the food!Altogether we were so happy with our experience here. Carlos and Nicole are incredibly kind and are excellent at their jobs. They also helped us secure a wonderful DJ and helped us plan a beautiful wedding while staying in budget. The whole staff at the Arboretum made the night go amazingly smoothly. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Lovely gardens to wander around during the daytime. Plenty of things to see. Parking is free and can get kind of packed so getting here earlier is better. You can buy tickets online or at the door. The arboretum often hosts events like wedding pictures so you might come across a neatly dressed group. There are some nice themed gardens to walk through, and there is a variety of wildlife such as turtles, peacocks, and ducks to enjoy. It’s a big park and worth coming back again. If you’re grabbing a snack or a drink nearby this is the perfect afternoon detour. Definitely recommend!

Haven’t been here for a while. Redid the entrance area, looks nice. Came with friend to see the bonsai winter show. Amazing details in this art. It really is an act

No podría describir este lugar solo puedo decir que al entrar me decepcione se veía un lugar tan simple que creí no haber valido la pena llegar hasta ahí pero cuando exploré omg fue cuando me quedé sin palabras. 😍🥰 ese lugar es encantador.la cascada crea una potente. Magia que su sonido al caer relajaba mis oídos.No entiendo porque no descubrí este lugar mucho antes. Lo recomiendo al máximo aunque debo admitir que cansado recórrerlo pues es un gran terreno. Lleven agua, ropa y zapatos cómodos. Y sobre todo una buena cámara fotográfico 🤭(Translated by Google)I couldn't describe this place. I can only say that when I entered I was disappointed, it looked like a place so simple that I didn't think it was worth getting there, but when I explored it, omg that's when I was left speechless. 😍🥰 that place is charming. The waterfall creates a powerful one. Magic, the sound of it falling relaxed my ears. I don't understand why I didn't discover this place much sooner. I highly recommend it although I must admit that it is tiring to walk through it as it is a great area. Bring water, comfortable clothes and shoes. And above all a good camera 🤭

Always love this place! Good price for entry, and tons of beautiful plants to look at! The peacocks were struting around, beautiful. The cafe food has decent prices.There was an awesome rare plant show the day we went with hundreds of entries that you could vote on! They have an amazing library where members can check out books.They have a lot of events for kids and adults to craft hobbies, read alongs, tours, etc. Just check the website and see what's going on, and plan yourself a visit!Parking was free and plentiful. No pets, skateboards or stuff like that allowed. Do NOT remove any plants, they're there for everyone to enjoy!

My happy place. A large arboretum with a variety of plants from all over the world. Wonderful birds, including waterfowl, parrots, hummingbirds, and various migratory species. If you live nearby, the annual membership is a bargain and you can visit during extended hours.

My mother and I visited this botanical garden while we were staying in Arcadia. It was one of the best botanical gardens I have been to. The grounds were gorgeous and there were peacocks running around all over the place! We spent about two hours walking around and it was so nice and relaxing. If you enjoy outdoor activities, and are in the Arcadia area, definitely check out the Los Angeles County Arboretum!

Ummmm first time to this event and I don't feel the need to go again. The lights are okay the food area was yummy pricey but good food. It wasn't a smooth trail a lot of traffic just standing there waiting as people held up the line taking pics. One of the sides had technical issues the music turned off, I just had high expectations and was looking forward to this but I could of passed

The LA Arboretum & Botanic Garden was a delightful surprise! Nestled right in Arcadia, it offered a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of LA.well-maintained pathways were perfect for a relaxing walk. I especially enjoyed the spots with benches overlooking the lakes and the distant San Gabriel Mountains.A special shoutout to the peacocks! They strutted around confidently, adding a touch of whimsy to the scenery.

Went to the Lightscape Reimagined 2023. First time seeing this type of special event. Had friends visiting from Toronto. Went to dinner across the street at the mall. A bit crowded. Use the shuttle to park at the mall side. Nice walk through lit displays of lights and music. Really enjoyed the slow walk.

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. There was no wait to get in 11am on a Saturday. Expect to do a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and bring water. So many places to sit in solitude and enjoy the scenery. We went during the Ikebana exhibit which displayed stunning Japanese floral sculptures. Don’t miss the Tropical Greenhouse or the Garden of Quiet Reflection.

Delightful adventure! People and peacocks greeted us upon arrival. The waterfall was our initial goal and we were delighted with all we saw along the way. Beautiful place to explore!

Beautiful place! We would go back when the weather is not hot. Great place for hiking & nature exploring. The day we went, it was Plumeria Festival. So many Plumeria plants

A beautiful, fairly expansive and well-maintained park that also has Peacocks walkin around!!It is a great place to spend a couple of hours.I bought tickets online about 1 hour before going on a weekend.The citrus and rose gardens are absolutely gorgeous in early spring (do not pick, just admire!).Nothing very strenuous for the elderly or kiddos--all pretty flat and concrete paths.

It’s always a pleasure to be at the Arboretum. This is my first time back after the remodel. Didn’t get much pictures this time but I’ll be back soon 🌼 some of these pictures are from prior visits I made to the garden 🪴

If you’re into the outdoors or care about your mental health, you’ll appreciate the Los Angeles County Arboretum! There is much to see within the garden, including multiple paths, trails, bodies of water, water fountains, a waterfall, a greenhouse, an array of beautiful plants (tropical, native, and others), plenty of benches, old (historic) structures, wide open grassy areas (for children to run!), a cafe, three parking lots, and more! I know you’ll enjoy it!

Less expensive than the Huntington Gardens and so worthwhile! Fantastic wildlife, vista views, and beautifully landscaped lawns. The garden/lawn with native flora was stunning with all the blooming poppies. The parking was full when we arrived, but we found parking down a side street, accompanied by plenty of peacocks showing off. We did not buy tickets in advance, although you can if you like. Thank you, LA Arboretum - can’t wait to visit again!

This place is beautiful. Must go. I thought I would be scared of the peacock but they were minding their own business lol... Lots of parking. A cafe and a gift shop.

Lightscape show was beautiful and fun to watch, took us about an hour and half to walk the whole light trail. Music was great and we had an amazing time, highly recommend bringing the whole family for the experience.

Beautiful lush forest like setting $15 entrance parking free there is small lake a waterfall and winding wooded path lush green pathways gardens birds and peacock 🦚 roaming the whole area peacocks are big attraction there nice little caffe excellent 2 to 4 miles hike amazing place must visit in spring San Gabriel mountains in the backdrop make it a great picnic spot to bring family kids friendly ducks 🦆 sone old barns and historic home on the property takes back in time love it 🙏

We had a lovely 2 hour walk through the whole arboretum, taking our time. It has different sections with different types of plants, a coach barn, a beautiful home, and even an old train station (we unfortunately were too late for the museum). Very calm place. Saw plenty of peacocks, and they even hung out in the parking lot and the nearby neighborhoods. We bought our tickets online morning of but I'm not sure we even needed too. On a nice day, parking is a bit iffy. We had to drive around the lot a couple times and wait for someone to leave to get a spot.

a small piece of paradise, delightfully maintained and worthy of your visit. i had a great time simply walking around for hours admiring the landscape and variety of plants - but especially the butterflies! haha.

As an Iowan and a Navy family, this was a must-see on our trip. To start, if you are from Iowa, you get free admittance, so that was a great perk. The view from the ship is breathtaking. The ship is breathtaking. It has been very well maintained and each of the individuals along our self guided tour were insightful and more than welcoming. It was a great piece of history that all of my kids enjoyed (9 years old to 18). I was blown away by its size alone, but seeing how our service men and women are "housed" at sea was even more interesting. One part that surprised me were the living quarters for the women, and how they were separate at the time of this ship's service. I would highly recommend stopping here!!

Bravo! Arrived to Waterfront parking lot by 9 am. Took shuttle bus to Waterfront and followed the waiting line for more than 2 hours to the entrance. Visited the wonderful booths around 40 minutes. Another 2 hours waiting line to the Aircraft Carrier. Worth it, but standing time was too long.Since there's no food no drinks to the LA Fleet, we were so thirsty and hungry. Fortunately I had a big breakfast in the morning. We were lucky to see a drink stand, $4 per bottle water. No worry! I bought it.After visiting the Aircraft Carrier, I was so tired already. No time to go back to the booths visit which I missed a lot.Next year, I definitely will go again and arrange better.

The Iowa is history well preserved. Hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable. Self guided tour routes are well marked. Would liked to have seen more placards describing what it was I was looking at as far as some inner rooms. Saw no mention of a medical facility. Having now seen both the Iowa and the Missouri, the Iowa has more detailed restoration. Very well done. A heart felt salute to all that served on her.

The battleship history is amazing. Good way to know the technology, dimensions and equipment used in that time. I recommend to visit this on a weekday.You can see free the exterior, but I recommend to visit it. If you never have been in a similar battleship.There is a big parking lot close to the battleship.There is access for stroller but you can't access to the tour with this, because there are many stairs.

Adults, kids, & teens in our group all agreed that this battleship tour was more enjoyable than they expected. As a military veteran, I was pleased to see that our young folks found the ship and its hands-on history appealing and interesting. Nice, at-your-own-pace activity on a summer day… and good for the budget-aware. Oh, and Monday is a great day — few visitors.

My cousin stopped by from the boat he was in from San Francisco before going to Florida on Nov 02, 2023 so we passed by to meet him for lunch. Next to their boat was the Battleship USS Iowa and it looked incredible. People who worked in the area were nice and friendly as well. We wanted to come inside and buy tickets but we didn't have the time, I will come back here and see when I get the chance and update my review.

The incredible history behind this ship and all those who served in it is indescribable. It draws you in to stay forever in the ship! As you approach the deck, some of the veterans will greet you and be available for questions. Throughout the ship, you'll find yellow arrows as a guide with professional posts describing the areas being visited. These arrows will also lead you to an awesome bookstore full of items to cherish forever. All in all, one visit won't be enough to totally make justice to this important and most awesome part of the United States history. You'll be thrilled by it.

I really enjoyed my tour of the Iowa. We had the chance to view the Captain's berth and see the tub that had been installed for FDR. The tour guides were friendly and informative. We had lunch on the fantail of the ship. The hot dogs they sell there are delicious. There's a good amount of container ship traffic so you can sit, eat your lunch and watch the ships go by. Schedule half a day for your tour.

Very big ship. Expect 3 hours for this visit.Used the gocity pass for this attraction. Totally worth it.History, photo opportunities (look outside the shop too), and look at the life of sailing with different aspects (eating, tailor, barber etc.)It's quite a long attraction (with lots of printed material) so time yourself well in case you need to visit other attractions nearby.Follow the markers and you are ready. There's an app but note that the AR experience is difficult given the poor network.

Hats off to the volunteers. They're welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge. The ship is in pretty good shape with some spots being renovated. My family enjoyed seeing the ship, seeing the living quarters, battle stations and the mess hall.They have a cool little game for the younger kids. It's worth visiting and exploring the ship.

This is really an amzing ship. The tour is a bit tiring with the up and down ladders... but its part of the journey. One can really feel how hard is the life of the navy men ans women wbo live in this ship.What i find very important is the significance of the ship during world war 2. Its interesting to learn more about the men and women who shared their lives in order to maintain the ship and delivered strategic goals for security and peace.Though we wanted to have the presidential tour... it was just fully book at the time. Must book days ahead next time

Worth a visit. Kids had a great time. Lots to learn from history. About two hours to see everything. Lots of walking and climbing stairs. Wish the tour had included more of the guts of the ship such as the engine room. Several exhibits really rounded out the experience.

Wow, great historical site. 2 hours got us through all the decks. Be prepared for some stairs up and down through 5 decks. Take time to watch the videos spread around the ship. Man, those 16inch guns are impressive.

Great place to experience history! Unfortunately we visited on a day when it was raining and experienced standing water that soaked our shoes. Someone pushing water out of these area would be nice. Also, there are some pretty steep stairs you must go up & down. Be aware if touring with the very young, seniors or those with mobility issues.

Came here with my teenager and we both had a great time touring the ship. It was a self guided tour but that didn’t stop us from taking in the history of the ship. The ladders can be quite steep at times so that’s one challenge that some might struggle with. The ships store is also a great place to stock up on souvenirs/gifts. Along with all of that, the folks working on the ship were all friendly and willing to help if needed. I’d highly recommend a visit here!

If you are in the area this is a self guided tour that is amazing. I would give yourself a couple of hours at the minimum. Make sure to knock out restrooms before you start the tour. However, there are restrooms, food, beer and an awesome place to relax at the end of the tour. Enjoy.

My brother in law, my father, and I had an incredible time aboard the USS Iowa, and with our excellent tour guide. We spent a scant four hours aboard and nearly got the whole run of the ship on our $75 guided tour. And we all concluded we have to return to see even more. What a great experience to see such a ship like that, and go through it in such detail. Special commendations to our tour guide, Bob Abelson, for letting us go in, out, up, down, and all around this great ship! A very worthwhile experience.That said, the website is a mess, and something must be done about the experience. The site says the general access pass must be bought before the tours, but it doesn't say that the page will take you to the add-on page following checkout. Clear as mud overall. Same with scheduling for the tours; not the most clear. Also, the hot dog stand was closed early. But everyone aboard the ship was nice, we bought our add-on tour once we there, and everything is in fairly good condition. Will return again!

As a veteran and from a long family history of veterans. This tour was something I needed! It helped remind me of the lives lost and battles fought on all sides through all branches!! We had a unique opportunity to have a guided tour by Bob and let me tell you that the experience was second to none! Bob brought back to life the history of the USS Iowa! The good, the bad, and the real truth. Thank you to everyone on USS Iowa for an unforgettable experience! Special thanks to Bob and staff for an unforgettable experience! I strongly recommend everyone to do a guided tour! And if able please make a kind donation to these museums! Get out and take time to remember the battles we have fought and the men/women's lives lost in pursuit of freedom!

This was our second trip to see Iowa, we were here 2 years ago and seeing the ongoing restoration of her is absolutely amazing. Last time we also did the gun tour (highly recommend!!) The staff is always friendly and telling stories of the artifacts.

A visit to the USS Iowa is a treat for people who are interested in local and global history. The docent who relayed the stories about the construction and use of this massive ship was very knowledgeable and interesting. His enthusiasm was contagious. It is important for people to wear walking shoes that are not slippery or high heels. The steps are steep on the ship, but the safety reminders at the start of the tour were very helpful on how to negotiate the steps. All in all the ship tour was well marked, great with explanations of each room, and very interesting.The only downside was the lack of a real place to eat that wasn't a hotdog stand. But, that didn't really matter with the number of local restaurants within walking distance.

This was such an interesting tour and very informative. We purchased the tickets at the gate and proceeded to walk through the various areas of the ship. They have so many signs to read and there are also several volunteers around the ship who are willing to answer your questions.They have a neat museum as well with different interactive exhibits, a gift shop and the most delicious hot dog stand!Such a great reminder of the sacrifices our service members make for us daily, especially those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.Well worth the ticket price to see such amazing history and being able to be aboard a ship that has also seen three US President's.

It was a very nice experience.The ship was huge and it gives such a good opportunity n experience to visit a battleship which otherwise you can't anywhere.It is a self-guided tour of the entire ship and shows how sailors life is, on the ship.The view is spectacular from the ship and it actually is an enriched experience that u get while walking through the entire ship, There are no restrictions on taking picturesI really loved it.

I've been to this ship a couple of times now and always have a great time. The first time me and the wife and I went and checked it out and loved it. This is the second time we've been back to its current location, and we brought my daughter to this time, and we all had a blast. Prior to this, I saw her when she was in Oakland being renovated before being put down where she is now. Highly recommend for any families.

Wonderfully kept up ship. Staff were outstanding and very helpful. I want to go back and see more next time.

Our visit to the USS Iowa was brief but memorable. We arrived late and had only an hour to tour before closing. Despite the limited time, we found the ship's history and stories about the crew and its missions incredibly fascinating. The ship has a lot of steps, so be prepared for some climbing. Even with the time constraint, the knowledgeable staff and well-presented exhibits made the experience worthwhile. It's a must-see for history and naval enthusiasts.

The self-guided tour was fun, but I think the next time I come I'll want to get a guided tour. The more expensive options include some of the normally off limits areas such as the engine room, which I really would have enjoyed seeing. Still, it was fun and educational without the guide.

History buff or just looking for something cool to do in LA, the USS Iowa Museum is definitely worth checking out. This massive battleship is docked right in San Pedro, and you can actually walk the decks and explore the ship yourself.I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was immediately impressed by the size of the Iowa. It's hard to imagine the thousands of sailors who once lived and worked on this floating city. The self-guided tour lets you wander through different parts of the ship, from the bridge where the captain steered the vessel to the mess decks where the crew ate.There's also a lot of cool history on display. I learned about the Iowa's role in World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War. It's amazing to think this ship saw so much action throughout its long career.Overall, the USS Iowa Museum is a fascinating place to visit. It's a great way to learn about naval history and get a sense of what life was like on a battleship. If you're in LA, I definitely recommend checking it out!

This ship is spectacular, hands down one of the highlights of my road trip. I have visited aircraft carriers and this is maybe even more fun. Very interactive, super hands on, for all ages. If you like boats, you will love coming here.

This is a literal piece of history. Well worth the price of admission. Take time while you're there to speak with the staff, you will learn a lot. Great for kids!

Went during Fleet Week, massive amount of people. Loved walking through history. The weather was perfect. Plan on spending at least 90 minutes on the ship.

A little pricey, especially if you have kids of all ages but for a good cause. No tours were available (which are more expensive btw) so it's basically follow the yellow arrows on the ground and get ready to walk with plenty of stairs too. Kids enjoyed themselves and that's what made it worth it for the adults. The booths, vehicles, helicopter, tank were really a great addition 🪖 and the play area kept them entertained while we were in line, thank God.

Amazing experience. Highly recommend one of the tours. We did the Escape the Mothball Fleet tour and we saw so many cool parts of the ship that I could never have imagined we'd see. Well worth the price.

It's a beautiful Korean style monument! In addition to it, the park has a basketball court, walking paths, and at that height, the view is incredible🌅I was there in the evening at sunset, in such moments you realize how beautiful nature is 🙌🏼If you decide to go there in the morning or in the evening, dress warmly because there is a very strong cold wind and it's easy to catch a cold🤧

It looks to be a historical park with scenic views. This can be a place you can spend the day with family and friends. It is so peaceful and has a vast beautiful ocean view. I recommend this place if you’re looking to just hang out for the day, a nice walk in park, sit and take photos, and enjoy a beautiful view. Make sure to get a close up look of the friendship bell and read the story of the friendship bell and how it came to be here.There is plenty of parking space and there is no fee. The local people are nice and friendly.

So lovely. It’s gorgeous. People picnic or fly kites. It’s really a nice place. It’s almost always windy and cold, especially when the sun goes down, so if you’re planning to stay, bring a jacket. The views are stunning. There’s also a famous basketball court overlooking the ocean. Perfect for photo shoots. Parking is free and usually a breeze. There’s sometimes an ice cream truck that frequents.

Very fun stop on the top of the ridge. Parking is available above and below the bell. The grass is very well maintained and perfect for laying out and relaxing. It is very windy at all times. Perfect for flying a kite. The bell is actually roped off and the log used to ring the bell is locked. There are a few random slabs of concrete that are scattered about through the the property. Saw some people roller skating around. Might be the thing to do here?

Absolutely gorgeous park with a beautiful commemorative bell. Completely unplanned, but the best find in South Bay the day we visited.The detail on the building itself is gorgeous and well maintained. The bell is enormous!Families were flying kites in the wind, enjoying sitting on the grass in the sun, and taking in the ocean view. Family friendly place to head - we even got lucky with an ice cream truck on the corner.Parking can be tight and was very full when we arrived. Recommend going earlier in the day before it gets packed.

Used to come here often. Always nice to visit and enjoy the views toward PV as well as the lighthouse and the breakwater. Plenty of parking. Very quiet during the week. Not a whole lot of people around. And this morning the marine layer hasn’t burned off yet and the gentle ocean breeze felt great. Perfect for another warm day in SoCal in mid-July.

An historic location with beautiful views of the pacific ocean. Also a basketball court. Grass area to relax while watching the sun go down. However there's a curfew (closes at dusk). Parking lot is limited, there's parking down the hill. Also, pathways to take a stroll with a friend or a love one.

This place is BEAUTIFUL. The coastline is beautiful and the bell was also quite interesting. This place is very good for sitting down and hanging out.(They were also doing a Juneteenth event when we went and I felt very empowered and touched by the song. )

I wanted to see the beach before I leave California and I saw this place on google maps.. Glad I stopped by, it was very beautiful to see.. the only challenge with this place is limited amount of parking space available.. But I do recommend checking this place out it’s beautiful

I have been to San Pedro a few times before, but I always miss this spot on the hill overlooking the coast.The view from this location is always great, especially during the spring and summer months when a lot of wildflowers abound. There are plenty of ideal photo spots with a great backdrop of the ocean, the skies, and flora.

Definitely worth going! One of the best historical monuments in town and the view is amazing even with the fog. Was very easy to get in and out of and you can spend as much or as little time as you want there. Plenty of grass space and there is even a playground for kids.

A very peaceful but windy little park with a great view. We usually grab a Busy Bees sandwich and eat here. It's nice that they have a little playground for children. Restrooma re always open during open times.

This place is amazing, it’s not only a reminder of the friendship between the USA and Korea, it’s also beautiful place for a walk. I noticed a lot of people who brought the chairs and just enjoyed the sunset. For kids, there is a playground. Also there is a basketball court. And the view from the top is amazing. Waves that there were adorable.

The Korean Friendship Bell is a large and intricately designed bronze bell housed in a stone pavilion located in San Pedro, Los Angeles. This bell, known as the "Bell of Friendship," was a gift from South Korea to the United States in 1976, commemorating the bicentennial of American independence and celebrating the friendship between the two nations.The pavilion, modeled after traditional Korean architecture, is called the "Belfry of Friendship" or "Pavilion of Friendship" and offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. The bell itself is struck only on special occasions, such as Independence Day, Korean Liberation Day, and New Year's Day, producing a deep and resonant sound.The site, situated within Angel's Gate Park, is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, providing a peaceful setting for reflection and appreciation of cultural ties. If you enjoy exploring historical and cultural landmarks, the Korean Friendship Bell is definitely worth a visit.

Walking along the Pacific coastline, soaking in the gentle breeze, and relishing the vibrant hues of the sunset was an absolute delight. The soft grass beneath provided a comfortable seat as I watched the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in a mesmerizing array of colors. Turning around, the panoramic view extended all the way to San Diego, adding an extra layer of awe-inspiring beauty to the experience. It was a serene moment, connecting with nature and feeling grateful for the stunning vistas that surrounded me.

A must see. Beauty and calmness. Plenty of grass to set up, picnic or chill. The wind on top of the mountain is perfect for flying a kite. Dogs are allowed, just clean up after them please. There's a pretty cool outdoor basketball court. The grounds are kept up pretty well. Very impressed.

I had the most wonderful day at Korean Long Beach Park with my furry companion! The park's serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day out. My dog absolutely loved exploring the spacious grounds and playing in the designated areas.

Beautiful place to visit to take pictures. Love to see the ocean views from up top. Highly recommend!

Beautiful ocean view cliffside cultural installment. The bell was a gift from Korea in 1981. There is also a nice playground and basketball courts with plentiful parking. Excellent spot for golden hour photos minus the wind.

I love to come here and make VR Troopers references.All jokes aside, it's a beautiful park with a lot of history. It has a nice breeze and a great view of the ocean. It's one of my favorites places to bring friends truly putting the "friendship" in the Bell of Friendship.Be warned, this is a very popular park and landmark with a small parking lot. Parking may not be the easiest on especially busy days but I promise it's worth it.

I've lived in southern california, my whole life and had never heard of this place nor had I ever been there. I'm really grateful to my friend who brought me there. It is a beautiful bell and a symbol of peace during the Carter. Administration between korea and the united states. It sits on a bluff and it is beautiful to look out over the ocean and you can even see whales.Out in the ocean from there. It's not a lot to see there, but it is a beautiful spot to take a little break and enjoy the ocean and the beautiful bell.

A calm and beautiful park overlooking the Catalina Islands, sunsets and sunrise is the time to be at this place. Great place to have a picnic or even play a basketball match at the court.

The Korean Bell in San Pedro is my happy place. I am able to re-center every time I come here. There is a play area for the kiddos, plenty of green space, and basketball courts. It is a great place to have a picnic, fly a kite & grab some soft-serve ice cream . The Ice cream truck is usually there on Saturdays.

The Korean Friendship Bell is a fantastic spot for a day out. It’s perfect for flying a kite, having a picnic, taking a walk, or even biking around. Plus, the entrance and parking are free, which is always a bonus. Just keep in mind that it can get pretty busy on weekends.For inquires message me on IG: @thedronedomain_

The bell is set in a pagoda like structure which was constructed on the site by 30 craftsmen flown over from Korea. This is is a 12-foot tall, 17-ton gift from South Korea that marked the U.S. Bicentennial. The Korean Friendship Bell celebrates the relationship between U.S. and Korea.

This is a small but nicely kept park. Along with the bell, there is a full concert basketball court and great views of Long Beach to LA. There was a filming taking place during my visit which was interesting to watch.

A lovely place that offers an open field where you can share with your family and friends, it also offers a spectacular view of the ocean and the best of Long Beach. It is worth coming to see it.

Korean Friendship Bell is by the beach, offers both cultural allure and leisurely charm. Its intricate design and historical significance make for a captivating visit, while nearby picnic spots and kite-flying areas add to the tranquil atmosphere. A perfect blend of history and relaxation awaits at this coastal gem.

The famed Santa Anita Park. I’ve been wanting to come here for many years to watch a race.The park's well-manicured landscapes serve as a testament to the meticulous care and attention to detail that goes into maintaining such a storied venue. The recent rains have only accentuated this beautyAs for the races themselves, the experience of staying for thrilling contests is nothing short of captivating.The generosity of free parking and entry was is the cherry on top of an already delightful experience.Visiting various tracks throughout the country, Santa Anita Park stands as a beacon for enthusiasts of the sport, a place where the spirit of horse racing is alive and thriving amidst the splendor of its surroundings. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer to the track, Santa Anita promises an experience that gallops straight into your heart. 🏇💚

So nice to be able to go back post-covid and enjoy this great historic horse racing park. I miss the donuts at Clockers Corner, but I love the early AM, crusty old guys, pre-computer era clientele that embrace the beautiful patio at Clockers corner, mentally processing the days racing lineup with a paper program of the day. Sadly, I'm sure some patrons succumbed to the COVID pandemic, remember them in your thoughts and prayers when you come to the races. This property should be guarded with one's life, I'm sure land developers lick their chops over their visions. Great that it is in the Registry of Historic Places certification, so that it's presence will remain on Southern California soil permanently. Amen.

A great way to spend a spring day. I don’t recommend going during summer months as it is too hot, if you go during the summer months (prior to the Del Mar move) make sure to get a table in Frontrunners Restaurant as it has AC. This place has some of the friendliest service in LA. The staff is always friendly and very attentive. Make sure to walk out to centerfield for at least a race or two- the back rail is really close to the track. Great photo opportunity. Parking is not an issue. Easy in and easy out- however it can be quite a walk if busy. Use Valet if long walks are not your bag.

I had a really fun time here. It was my first time and I will be back. The fair was going on the horse raved the 5k run. Didn't get much pictures

State Fair ENT. LA. Admission + Parking + service fee is $27.50. No advance ticket needed. No cash used in the fair. I got there on Friday. Not many people than I expect. Really good place for family and couples. Didn’t see long lines for waiting. Very safe place for fun. Parking is easy. Tripod allowed. Recommend to go

The building is quite old and full of history. I went on Saturday, and there were not many people. The interval between each horse race was too long, usually at least half an hour, and the longest was more than 1 hour and 10 minutes, and each horse race was only 1 minute. It was too long to wait.I was there for 6 hours and only saw 7 races.It's fun to bet on. Quite excited.

Went to bet on the ponies! Great way to spend an afternoon! Fun to watch the races and great people watching. Most of the cashiers were super helpful showing us how to bet! Good food options. There was also a car show going on and some Frenchie races going on!

It’s always a good day at the track always kid friendly was there for 2024 Kentucky Derby it was a good day

If you like horse racing even a little bit. This is the place, lots of events, especially fun events in the infield. We like to come up to the restaurant and watch the races from there at Silks. The people are great and the place.Is beautiful and an amazing place to watch. Horse races, 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇 🐎 eat food and drink with friends and family.

Went for the celebration of life For Jerry Antonucci we had a private reserved and catered event. It was very nice and they dedicated a race to him and brought out the immediate family with the winning horse and jockey and took pictures and filmed it for us.

I always have fun times at Santa Anita Park. It’s a great place to take friends, family, & out of town guest. There are some changes they made post covid. Food ordering is from a QR code & they bring the food to your table in bags. The staff is really helpful in telling you where things are. Bring cash if you want to bet on horses. Since my party got Silks seating the race program was free. Look over the race program before you bet because my party didn’t see the professional picks until we were about to leave. “Silks” is outdoors, but if you prefer indoor seating then checkout “Frontrunner” restaurant. If your debating between regular admission or getting a table, the tables are worth the $20. I’m not sure if it’s because post covid or because it was a rainy day, but the race track was not packed at all. I know years ago the race track would bring people from all over, but it looks like attendance is dwindling. Hopefully more people come out & support Santa Anita Race track. I have made wonderful memories with family & friends here. Hope to visit again soon. Parking is free.

Beautiful race track. First time at the horse races. Really enjoyed it.

I truthfully came for the annual National Corgi Races - and based on that event (laugh, I know it’s funny) I give 3/5 stars.For the history it holds in the sport of Horse Racing, (ex equestrian here) you’d think it would be a bit nicer of a track. I likely won’t be back but it wasn’t the worst venue ever.

I love horse racing and this was my first visit to a racetrack Stateside. It was magnificent. So authentic and original but with great screens graphics. Table service was excellent and the backdrop just amazing. We were in Silks. It was an incredible experience. For any racegoers just go and enjoy 😀

I went to the track on Derby day and there wasn’t much of a line to get in, but there were a lot of people at the track. The day was fun and the track was beautiful with the hillside course used for one race. Beautiful track.

First time here and I was blown away by the retro ambiance. This venue took me to the races in the Wayback Machine. Can't wait to see it come alive for the Breeders Cup!

A vibrant place to be on a weekend with friends or family. Large racetrack and facilities with meaningful history. It’s just lovely to watch a horse race out here against the beautiful backdrop (and of course place bets if that’s your cup of tea). There were some food vendors but less than I was expecting. Plenty of seating/space both indoors and out. Some lingering cigarette smoke near the track so go further out for some fresh air. Lots of parking so just follow the signs. Loved all the little details like the trimmed trees and neatly arranged courtyards. Staff was friendly and helpful. There’s a place to greet the horses too. Tickets are $10 for nonmembers going in to the club house, past the security check. Would recommend you check it out if you’re in the area!

This was my first time there and I enjoyed the show. We had 4 adults and two 14 year olds in our party and they all liked the show as well. Good acting and physical entertainment. Everybody was friendly and the actors worked very hard to make sure we watched a good show. Very, very, kid friendly.

Kinda disappointed with the overall experience here. Very disorganized compared to other nearby attractions, we arrived here at 6:35pm, 25 minutes before showtime, the line to enter is the same as the people who are purchasing tickets, so it took us forever to get in, the line was around 20 people tp get in by the time we got in. We entered the stadium at 7pm exactly, we were seated, but some people already had their food, and some had apps while some were starting to get a main course, which was very confusing sense the showtime was 7pm, there was no mention of having to arrive early. We ended up waiting for everyone around us to get served before our waitress finally came by to pick up our ticket, she got us our dinner first, then about 5 minutes later came the drinks, and maybe another 5 to 10min later came the appetizer, which was a soup or salad, overall, very confusing. The portions were pretty small, specially the kids portion. The taste of the food was surprisingly good, the chicken wasn't dry and had good seasoning, the dessert was also pretty good. The show itself was very fun, entertaining and engaging. Amazing show, especially for the kid. We paid the extra 60 bucks for the picture package and the meet and greet, that was also pretty cool.Overall, it was a mixed night, I would probably return at some point, but I would highly suggest arriving at least 1 hour before the showtime start, seating is very good for the most part, we did sit in row 2, but it seems like almost anywhere is probably good.

A little pricy but a good time had by all! We had a group from 5 yearys old to 50 and all of us enjoyed the show. All the staff were friendly and polite. We will be back one day.

Great opportunity to have fun with the kids or just go enjoy it yourself. The story was fun to watch and extremely entertaining! The service was great and the food was pretty good as well. I enjoyed sitting there and watching the acrobatics and sword play while the story plot was very easy to follow. I will definitely be back

This is a must do experience for grown ups and kids! We had a blast!Things to expectThis is a very interactive experience! My whole party was asked to participate. My daughter held the flag, I walked with a treasure, and my husband was asked to raise a flag. The pirates also come out before the show and interact with the guests. The whole experience felt very personal and special.There is literally no place to hang your purse. Mine had to go on the ground so I would suggest not bringing a purse if you don't want anyone stepping on it.The food was beyond gross. We had the chicken and it was okay. The mashed potatoes were just yuck. I didn't even try the vegetables. The drinks are bottomless and make sure you carry cash to tip your server.SeatingWe sat in the orange section. The view was great. I would say the worst sections are blue and green.Groupon had a great discount. I would order tickets thru them and save some money.We had such a great time. I would definitely go back and do it all over again!

We came for my son’s birthday and my whole family had a great time. The show was awesome, the crowd involvement is so much fun and the food is good.My major complaint is that the food portion for kids is way too small. I have three boys and all of them were still hungry after the meal. The main item of the kids meal is a slider the size of the palm of your hand. Unless the child is 6 or under there is no way it’s enough food for them.

The experience was AMAZING!! Each performer did a really good job. The staff was very friendly and the food came really quick. The food wasn't all that but I imagine it's the atmosphere and experience is what people come for.

We attended on Dec. 23rd and they had a Christmas show on with Santa, Mrs. Claus and a fairy. There was no disclaimer when we bought the tickets. As cute as it was to see an acrobatic fairy for 15 minutes we were there see PIRATES sword fighting each other with water blasting and a fire 🔥 show. That's what we were expecting and feel we were robbed from that. The Santa show got pretty boring quick. 😴 not impressed at all with the "show". Food was delicious and tasty. Server was nice and friendly but was MIA a lot. I had to ask other servers to send my server over 3 different times. 🙃 very disappointed with this pirate show. ☠️

Super fun event. Food was really good. Had the pork plate and it was very well done. Liquor prices are not bad. Drinks are very good. Staff was fun and attentive. They really focus on your kids so they have a good time. Show is fun to watch. Well worth the money

It was my Boyfriends and I first time going. We had so much fun . I took him for his birthday it was a Surprise he didn't know where we were going until I drove up. we were the first ones in line. So when I got to the window I asked the lady if i could upgrade out tickets to the treasure package. She said let me check with my supervisor and I mentioned that with my boyfriend's MBirthday so supervisor came in they were talking and then 10 minutes later she handed me our tickets she said here you go. It Was supposed to be 70 80 bucks to upgrade I was ready to give her my credit card shw said no it's fine .so the supervisor upgraded us for free.I thanked her and told her I really appreciate it. She waved us to go on and smiled. Now that is great customer service. Drinks were good prices.the atmosphere was fun had a great times. even though we were buzzed. We got to be on the purple side which is my favorite color. Wewould go again.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Pirates Show in Buena Park and I must say it was an absolute blast! This show is truly a fantastic way to spend an entertaining evening with family and friends. From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, we were transported into a world of swashbuckling adventure and excitement.The show itself was incredibly fun and amusing. The talented performers truly brought the pirate theme to life with their energetic and captivating performances. The acrobatics, stunts, and sword fights had us on the edge of our seats throughout the entire show. It was a truly immersive experience that left us in awe.Not only was the show a hit, but the food offered during the performance was delicious. We had the opportunity to enjoy a scrumptious meal while being entertained. The menu offered a variety of options, catering to different dietary preferences, and everything was prepared with great care. The flavors were incredible, and the presentation was top-notch.Furthermore, the service provided was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick to assist with any needs or inquiries we had. They ensured that our dining experience was comfortable and enjoyable, providing a seamless evening of entertainment and relaxation.Overall, the Pirates Show in Buena Park is a must-visit for families looking to have a night of fun and adventure. The combination of the spectacular live show, delicious food, and excellent service make it a memorable experience for all. I highly recommend adding this show to your list of family-friendly activities in Buena Park; it is an absolute treasure!

Best evening entertainment I could ever anticipate. I purchase my ticket online and got the onion rings also turkey leg with mash potatoes and mixed vegetables. Be cautious, it’s real big and juicy I couldn’t even finish it all. But the free chocolate dessert was not bad at all, I enjoyed cheering on my green pirate winning over the mermaid’s favor!

5⭐ for the performers/show! Drop to 3 because of food. Our first time. Try Groupon or another discount first! No one said anything about paid parking (when made reservations or called to ask a Q).Didn't see it mentioned on tickets either. $8 to park in their lot!!! So didn't bother buying a pre-drink as intended, out of principle. $8 is nuts on top of tickets. We did get a drink for our Goddaughter, it was her bday. And the bartender gave for free for her bday. So THAT was great! 5⭐ bartender! Gift shop n small bar area beforehand. Then high ceiling room, before enter show area, and it's decorated great! Fun pics. We went for afternoon show so not crowded at all. We got front row seats. Ok con FOOD. Choice was chicken or pork. We all picked chicken. U get salad or soup to start. Salad was iceberg, mostly all the white end parts. So blah. Then chicken, mashed potatoes n veggies (squash n carrots) of the 3 of our chickens only one was cooked decent. My piece was super small n dry. Husbands was decent sized but also dry. Her's was decent size n less dry. Super disappointed. Cake was ok. You can pay extra for various appetizers n of course alcohol drinks. We didn't bother. As soon as you sit pirates are coming up to you. We each were asked to participate. If you get asked do it... have fun! They want you to cheer loud for your pirate/section. The singing was amazing! The stunts/fighting etc was GREAT again 5⭐ worth the show part! Next time I might eat first

Good show, assumed it was like Medieval Times but I feel like this is more theater then contest, with more acrobatics and singing performances than competition. My 5 year old boy naturally enjoyed the pirate action sequences well enough though and the audience participation was fun.Seats are pretty cramped as you barely get any elbow room with the people next to you. Food is ok and what you'd expect for a place like this.Overall it's a good family event if you can get discounted tickets.

This was a very unique experience. Went with my daughter and parents, we all had a great time. We attended the halloween show, so the entire place was decorated in the Halloween theme. Getting there an hour before show time is a good idea as they have a full bar, souvenir store and a counter that sells replica swords from popular movies. The show arena is large and you are seated in color themed groups with your own pirate to cheer for, much like medieval times. The stage is a large ship, so if you are in just the right spot, a ship maste may block your view of some performances. The food is good, not fancy gourmet, but a decent meal; upgrades are available. Servers check on you regularly and bring drinks from the bar for you. Over all we had a really good time and plan to attend again in the future.

I've seen lots of reviews about service, and I have to say our server, Jasmine was great and did a good job of checking in with all the people in her section. The food was good and well seasoned and they were sure to make sure that my meal properly addressed any allergies and ensured that I got the meal without my identified allergens. The show was alright, the music was too loud and I frequently couldn't tell what the lyrics were over the music. But the individual playing Saxon, the pirate for our section, was an awesome actor and seemed by far the most entertaining character of them all.

Definitely a fun night of entertainment. Great atmosphere and worth the money. Food was decent but nothing incredible, my kids and my wife and I had a great time. Similar to the Mideval Times experience if you’re wanting something like that but not wanting to watch the exact same thing and switch it up. Fun night!

Made the best of it and had fun anyway but I just feel like for the price the value isn't there.I'm comparing to the show at medieval.... The food really wasn't great for me and I ended up skipping dessert altogether. If you have allergies, you might have to tell them a couple of times.The service and staff however were awesome! Performers did such an amazing job, even if we had a hard time following the story most of the time. This is more interactive than medieval which was cool, but overall a bit of a letdown.

What an amazing and entertaining show for the entire family!! Doors open an hour early so you can play miniature golf, have a few cocktails, or visit the gift shop while you wait. There were plenty of food upgrade options to choose from for an additional charge but it was worth it! This dinner and show is perfect for the whole family.

I loved the atmosphere, it is very inviting, lots of lights with a center stage shaped like a ship where the show happens. It is very interactive and fun.There in room for improvement when it comes to food, but I loved the drinks they weren't overpowering with alcohol but they had just enough to get you dizzy.The servers, bartenders and actors were spot on.I highly recommend this place. I saw a lot of families enjoying the the show.

The kids had a blast, the food was good not great however better than the medieval dinner, wait staff was on it! The show was good. The seating was cramped, luckily for me the row we were sitting in no one else had shown so I was able to move over one seat otherwise I left like the little girl next to me, sitting on her dad's lap, overall it was a good night out with the family. Everyone left happy and talked about everything on the way back.

Love the set and actors. Actors did their job well and professionally. Now little issues with the show,there long and because they try to involve audiences it was hard to follow the story or what they are trying to do. However, awesome effort, when someone new comes visit , it will be one of the spots to visit. Oh, food was ok, don't get the chicken.

The show combines fun, fantasy, thrill and laugh which is entertaining especially for the kids. It takes place on the replica of the 18th cenury Spanish galleon which is anchored in a 250,000 gallon indoor lagoon.

We had a great time especially with our 5 year old kid. It was our first time so we did not know what to expect. I think it's fair to say we had low expectations and the show did entertain our child for the full 90 minutes. I would say the experience is pricey but well worth it to experience it with a kid once. They really focus on the children multiple times and make it interactive which was a lot of fun for a first timer. Parking is easy and the meals are ok but it really is all about the ambiance and the show. The drinks are a bit pricey but they allow refills for about a third of the cost which was good. My kid had a blast and it was the highlight of her summer so far so a big 5 stars from us on this one!

Entertaining for the family but only if you get the best discount possible. I would not pay 60 bucks a ticket at all. It's not difficult to get the best deal. I used the California resident special and saved $100. Friendly reminder you have to ask for the discount.The show itself is ubeat, very high volumed and fast. The highlights are the pictures and the way the actors bring the audience into the show. My little one (6 years) was entertained and had a fun time.. Staff is outgoing, funny, and fun. Drinks are average cost and made very well. The food is not that great, so don't go hungry.

Excellent show, somewhat absent server (took forever to ask for a refill, and then he forgot about it), good food if a bit small serving. Very talented performers!

We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a dinner and a show at and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish!The evening began with a delicious meal in their beautifully decorated dining area. Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. The appetizers were flavorful, the main courses were cooked just right, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to our meal.The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff making sure we had everything we needed.The performers were incredibly talented, and the production was high-quality and engaging. The lighting, sound, and set design all contributed to a truly immersive experience. We were thoroughly entertained from beginning to end, with plenty of laughs, awe-inspiring moments, and a standing ovation at the end.What stood out the most was the seamless integration of dining and entertainment, making it a perfect evening out. Whether you're looking for a romantic date night, a fun outing with friends, or a special celebration. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return for another memorable evening!

Cast:The cast is very good at interacting with the children and the rest of the audience. They definitely work for their money.The cast was amazing and very attentive with the children. I applaud them. They make they provided special attention that was much needed at the end of the show for a child who was non verbal. Especially the blue pirate that played Ben. I really appreciate it. They definitely deserve a raise. We were able to meet everyone after except her favorite character the princess unfortunately she wasn't able to be seen after the show.Check in:Check in before the show starts. They'll give you your seating areas, what group you'll be in, groups are based on pirates colors. If you pay for a package you'll receive a colored flag for your team and colored necklace (It just looks like Mardi gras beads). You can also pay for your parking at The check-in window. You can your upgrade your package at the window and had things.*If you book over the phone for your reservation they charge you have the price on the phone and the other half at check in.Food:The food wasn't good (Yuck), but salt and pepper is at the table which helps a tad. But I'm surprised because before COVID you received more food and way better tasting food. Idk what happened. But if the food tastes gross again I'm bringing purse snacks, lol. Sorry but it's true.For people who don't know they give you an adult option of food or a child's meal for children. They give you dessert I believe if you pay for the dessert with your package. I might be wrong. But they gave us this chocolate cake like thing. It was cold. It had like a glaze icing light brown kind of coconut flavor thing on top. That's how I feel like it taste. I may be wrong.Parking:Plenty of parking. Paid parking. $1 less if you pay in advance.Birthday's:I believe you have to make a reservation.Birthday person gets in free on their birthday month.But there's other fees for additional bday stuff.Bathrooms:CleanBar:There's a bar inside when you walk in. And someone comes to your seating area and provide you the opportunity to order drinks through them. I don't drink alcohol so I can't say what the drinks tastes like.Gift shop:They have lots of items you can buy there for souvenirs or gifts. Pirate, princess and mermaid items.Face painting:There is a face painting area at the lady's really nice. If it's your birthday you get one free face painting. That's what's going on now I don't know how long that will last.Photo booth: not photo booth per se but when you walk in they take a picture of you and your group. You can pay for the photo and I come around you're seating area. Two photos was around $42+ and three photos was around $62 +. Have to show you're also welcome to take pictures with the cast with your own phone behind the face painting area.The front door staff is boring and dry but once you get in there after the photo it's fun and the vibes start up.I think that's it. I hope this is helpful.

This place is AWESOME!! We had so much fun. The show was very fun, interactive, and entertaining. It was great for both adults and kids.Food was decent, drinks are a little expensive but they come as doubles and you get to keep the souvenir cups.So much fun, I would definitely come again!

If you’re visiting the Buena Vista area in Cali, the Pirates Dinner Adventure is a must. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, especially the mashed potatoes.The adventure portion of the evening was very entertaining, lively and interactive. Movement all around and above.We had a blast and will revisit ❤️

If you’re looking for a fun experience, go across the parking lot to medieval times. The performance is less corny, the waiting area and gift shop area and bar are better. This kind of seems like a crammed little tiny building with acting that is so over the top you kind of just wanna leave because it’s not good. Food was ok.

Show was fun, but yesterday when we were there it took over an hour to get our drinks, food came first. I paid extra for the Caribbean beef, it was tiny, cold and tough. I needed to be able to wash it down but had no drink. When our soda finally arrived it was flat with no carbonation. We asked for water and she never came back. Made a fun experience awful.

I had an amazing time at pirates dinner adventure with my brother. We are both adults but we’re not made to feel bad that we were attending a show very much aimed for kids. There are funny jokes and tons of interactivity for everyone not just the kiddos. I also got the participate in the show which was super fun!Pros: Wesley our server was incredible! Very attentive, funny, personable. Our pirate Benjamin was also very kind and took a keen interest in our lives and vacation plans while we waited for the show to start. All the staff and performers made us feel welcomed and made the show incredibly fun to watch.Cons: the food is a bit lackluster. I had the captains beef and while the pineapple rice was delicious the beef was tiny and overcooked. The cake was tasty but the tomato soup was grainy and watery. Also the air conditioning was non existent. I was sweaty just sitting there I cannot imagine the performers struggling with acrobatics and belting out songs in that heat! Please get some air flow in there if not for the customer then for your staff!Overall and incredible experience made incredible by the staff, moreso than the food and air conditioner. All staff deserve a raise, praise, and to know they are appreciated. My brother and I left cheering the name of our pirate and our server equally.

Amazing staff. Amazing performance. I absolutely loved it here. They did an amazing job making me feel welcomed and safe. The food was not nearly as bad as some people say. The characters/performers were professional and despite some hard questions they remained in character and answered honestly. If you are a tourist or a local Medieval Times is a must. 100% would recommend for the young, old, and every age between.

The show was really fun and exciting to watch and we got to cheer our knight. Our group was the yellow group and it looked best and gentle to the eye; thanks God that we were not in the red light.Luckily, our knight was the best one; he was acting very well, charming and frequently interacting with his audience group. I felt like we were in the ancient movies.The server was attentive and nice (and you're gonna be expected to tip quite generous for this service)Food was a lot but so bad to our taste, it was below average in our opinions. We had plenty of leftovers. Our server gave us two big boxes for to go but we did not bring home any 'cause we had no appetite to eat it again. However, we liked the lemonade juice, it tasted refreshed and tasty.I like how they decorated their building and looking at my posted pictures and videos here you can tell the ambiance looks really beautiful and cool.Parking was plentiful.Something we noticed at the entrance was the strike. The previous actors there were on strikes trying to tell other people that their ex-employer abused them and all the horses. Not sure if it's true or not but we could see how sad and depressed the horses looked. We enjoyed the show but also felt bad afterwards.

The first time I went as an adult was last weekend for my dads birthday. I felt like the price was pricey but once you get to the show it’s worth it. There is beautiful horses, food, drinks, gift shop and a wonderful action performance. I would go again for a family outing or birthday celebration. I hope the horses are well taken care of because the show wouldn’t be the same without them.

Amazing dinner and show! Everyone stays in character the whole time and really give you an experience of a lifetime! The dinner is served while watching the show. They have a few accommodations for meals and seating. Before the show, you can walk around, buy stuff from their many counters of trinkets, Enjoy a beverage or two from the bars, see the horses, possibly meet the royal family! I know with Covid, things have changed a little, but they make the experience great any way.

For the performance, I give it a five, for the food a 4.5.The performance was amazing. Lots of interaction and sword fights and audience participation. Definitely a lot of jokes given from the queen and her right hand man especially about the “oranges…who doesn’t bring oranges” had me laughing!The horses were beautiful and be sure at the end of the show you go to the right of the exit and you can look through protected class them. The knights do engage well with the audience, and the harder cheer the more your knight fights for you. Be prepared next day to be a little horse. No pun intended.As for the food, it was definitely an experience as you dive into the theme. The chicken was a bit dry, but the potatoes and corn were great. And the soup was a great starter; be sure to let it cool it comes out super hot. You do eat with your hands so be prepared, you can ask for a fork if you wish.I will definitely go back to Buena Park location, it’s definitely my first time going to this type of show and although it’s more focused towards the kids and family; it’s fun for all ages. Loved it!

I recently went to Medieval Times with a group of friends and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The show was spectacular, full of action-packed jousts, sword fights, and amazing horsemanship. It was an incredible experience to see knights in full armor compete with each other on horses.The venue itself is also a great place to celebrate a birthday party. The atmosphere was festive and lively, with a great sense of camaraderie from all the guests. The staff were helpful and friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed.While the food was okay, it was still a fun experience to eat with our hands like they did in medieval times. We all enjoyed the chicken, potatoes, and soup.Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Medieval Times for anyone looking for a great experience and an incredible show. It's perfect for birthday parties or any special occasion, and you're sure to have an unforgettable time.

We took our family to this and they all LOVED IT!!! It was such a fun and unique experience for them. The service was amazing, the gift shop was great to let the boys feel out the swords they wanted, the atmosphere was wonderful! Thank you for giving us such a fun night!! PS~ My husband enjoyed all of this but I think his favorite part was heckling the protesters out front. That made his entire night!

Perfect place to bring family and enjoy a good show with delicious food! Family and I came to celebrate my dad for Father’s Day. Greeted by friendly staff that provide you with your crown. Great places for pictures before walking into the show. Anywhere you sit you get a good view. We loved the experience and our color blue won, which made the experience 10x better! Definitely would return with a different group of people for the experience. The horses were beautiful and looked healthy. Highly recommend this place.

Either for a family, friends or a date. This place is pretty cool. I took me girlfriend then now wife on date. And not too long ago, it was just my daughter and myself. The entertainment is non stop and the food was simple, yet awesome. Staff was great as well. A must do, if in the area.

First time seeing the Medieval Times and it did not disappoint. I came here for the experience so I didn’t really expect much for the food. The food was filling. Soup was cold, Chicken didn’t have any flavor but huge, corn tasted good and dessert was great. Your meal comes with fountain drinks or water. They also sell other drinks. The drinks were good but a little pricey. The show itself was entertaining. Family friendly. Kid friendly. It was a bit too scripted but overall, a great experience. There were ample of free parking spots. They sell souvenirs and you also get to meet the cast and take photo ops after the show. I am aware about the strike and I hope they get to settle it. Also, it is unfortunate that the horses are tied up and crumpled up in a small space. Other than that, it was okay.

We had an amazing time!!! The customer service was great, all the people were polite and very welcoming. The food was EXCELLENT, well cooked and flavorful, I enjoyed every bite of it. As well, our waiter Ashley was very sweet, and she was always checking on us, we really felt like royalty! The atmosphere was really nice, also. Great show, performance, the actors were engaging and very professional. This was an amazing experience and we will definitely go back to Medieval Times! ❤️

Really enjoyed this show and food! The horses and knights were really fun and cool looking. Drinks on offer were very tasty, only thing I'd like better would be for the food to be served together instead of one piece at a time. My soup got cold by the time my bread got to me. But it still tasted great and was a fun time. Definitely geared towards kids so as an adult it was one and done for me unless I had kids.

We took our daughter here for her birthday and we all had a blast! Staff and actors were phenomenal and made it a real treat! I would highly recommend taking your family and friends here for a dinner and a show! Thanks everyone for making the day so special!Make sure you know how many people are for sure in your party. You can't add more the night of the show.

Second time here and I absolutely love the place! I go during summer camp field trips in a nearby city so the experience is different than most. You have no food selection but just what they gave you which is some really really dry and unseasoned chicken that me and my family didn't much enjoy. Half of the baked potato was decent. Red apple had something off about it on the taste I can't describe. Garlic bread was sooo soft and good! Grandma's sealed cookie bags were great! And a regular water bottle. Entertainment was AMAZING!!! 10/10!!! Staff was really friendly & helpful 10/10!! Really just the food that we couldn't change. . . 2 of my family members starved the whole trip due to refusing to eat the food that was provided.

Great dinner! The food was so good! You eat with your bare hands and it adds to the fun medieval experience. You can let them know prior to the show about vegetarian options to get the soup (also yummy). I brought my lover here for his birthday and we both enjoyed it. It was pretty awesome our knight won the show too!

We went today and we loved the show. The actors, servers, staff, horses and animals were all lovely. Everyone did an awesome job. I loved seeing how nice the staff was to the horses. I am so glad we went. Such a fun time! We will go back again.

Hadn't been in about 15 yrs, this time was the best! Dinner was outstanding! Our compliments to the chef and servers! The entertainment better, more scripted and theatrical! The animals were beautiful! Overall experience was worth it!

Plan to eat with your hands! In medieval times, they didn't have forks and steak knives. The food was pretty good! Roasted Dragon (tastes like half a chicken), corn on the cob and tasty roasted potato...no variations unless you let them know you don't eat meat or have allergies.It's a visually beautiful, authentic experience with a powerful queen and some gorgeous horsemanship. Turns grown men into 9 year boys. Very fun to experience. We upgraded to VIP and were glad we did for photo taking.

Came here to celebrate kids bdays. They had a blast. Our waitress role played with them and they believed they were eating baby dragons. Adults loved the horses. The place was surprisingly clean and not dusty. I expected to smell the animals but it was very minimal. We will definitely bring the kids back. Only complaint was the bathroom. They smelled strong of urine and there only seemed to be one.

Location:Good, Parking: Good, Service: Good, Dinner show: fun to watch. Dinner: Simple Fare (tomato soup, garlic toast, half a chicken, small corn on the cob, potato wedge ) They do work to support vegan and others with food allergies. Overall: This was the second time I have been here and I did notice some changes that seem to make the experience a bit better from the first. The meal itself was better as the chicken seemed rotisserie and not baked which reduced the dryness. Using steam to reduce the dust from the center stage was also helpful to reduce allergy issues. We did buy the low VIP package, which gave my granddaughter a nice memento and a decent view of the arena. Now, will I go back a 3rd time? Sure, it was a fun show and my family had a fun time . So for this program that began in 1983. I give it 4.5 stars...

From parking to seating and the entire event; we had an absolute blast with an amazing crew. I heard in the past that there were complaints of people being ushered out before they could finish their food but we did not experience that. We had ample time to eat and enjoy the show and when the plates were being picked up, we were given the options of to go boxes which was great since it was a lot of food for us to eat. Overall an amazing time and I will be returning with visiting family members.

Epic dinner and show! Always a fun place! Jousting, knights fighting, and animal performances. These animals are taken care of and not treated like circus animals. Food was good, they do not provide utensils as they did not use them in actual medieval times. The 1/2 chicken was NOT microwaved as I've read in other reviews! They also can cater to certain dietary needs, just make sure to let them know before the dinner begins. Alcoholic beverages were good as well

The food was really good and neutral friendly, so if you want spice bring it with you. My server Steve was amazing and entertaining, this made the experience even more memorable. The prices were reasonable for the atmosphere and the skills of the horses were top notch. Definitely a repeatable experience, especially for special occasions.

Amazing!!! You have to experience it at least once!!! Costumes, decor, acting, atmosphere is all on point! It’s a very entertaining and immersive show. Loved it!!! Everyone was helpful and polite. The show is ran like a well oiled machine. They do a great job of making you feel as authentic an experience as possible. Kudos to the Falconer, she was amazing!!!!

Fun place, great show and experience.Clean facilities.Seating staff not very polite.All other staff members were welcoming.I did not make a purchase from the souvenirs store/gift shop counter, high-priced knick knacks.Cups w/drinks are nice to take home.Would come again.

I’ve wanted to go ever since I saw the movie Cable Guy in 1996. Now that I’m a grown up with kids to raise (who haven’t seen Cable Guy) I thought it would be fun to go. Did not disappoint. Food was good, staff was friendly and interactive but not overly so to where you feel weird. The show was great. Some basic horse riding and games involving horses at first but then the combat sports which were awesome. If you’re going to be in the area it’s a lot of fun especially for kids.

This was overall good although the food was lacking any flavor and whatever the red stuff was, it was on all the food, the chicken was not good, it was dry and lacking any flavor, I had to try to use some of the seasonings from the potato, which was probably the best thing there to eat besides the tomato soup. The show was decent and helped with the lack of food especially for the kids, who barely ate anything because it was not very good and the portion was too much for kids, should offer smaller portions or something else for kids. I am giving it a 4 star because of the show not the food, kids really enjoyed their time there.

We came to celebrate my daughter 18th birthday, our waiter Ruben, who was amazing, very helpful, gaved us our food, drinks and desert, and a bag and box if we had left overs to take home. I was a bit worried that the food was going to taste bad, i read some reviews and got worried. but it was actually really good, the soup and garlic bread. I give it 8/10. The chicken was 10/10 it was juicy, tender, and flavors were on point. They also had a half potato and corn on the cob 8/10. The dessert, which I think it was an éclairs good. But since it was my daughter's birthday, we had a second treat a cake with chocolate frosting. This I give it a 2/10 it felt really dry, I would slice a piece to take a bite and the chocolate got stuck on the fork. Overall, our experience was amazing. Everyone was nice, i do recommend getting there 1 hour early. So you have enough time to park and to take pictures, they also have many things in the gift shop, like souvenirs. I would definitely be coming back. We had so much fun. My daughter really enjoyed her birthday.

Our friends invited us to go, and wow it was a fun and enjoyable night. Food was great (honestly I expected much worse; but everything was super delicious and big) Cleanliness is great and all people working together to give you a good time.Show was good too! Horses were amazing. Parking is super convenient and free.I highly recommend it.

What a great experienced! My husband and I went here for to celebrate our Anniversary week! We enjoyed our time here, servers and staffs are very friendly!Food was included when you purchased ticket. It was delicious.They gave you a wet wipes to clean your hands.* gotta use your hands though to eat, you can ask for utensils as well if you are not comfortable*The show and the actors are so great!!!Go green house!!! 💚Parking was easy..Over all, I will definitely recommend this place!!

Such a tournament of a lifetime! It’s a surprise it didn’t smell horsey in the arena. The casts and the horses were fabulous and the service was great. I really liked the food they provided, especially the corn and the hot tomato soup

I booked general admission tickets for a party of 12 for my kid's 18th birthday. Always wanted to go & check it out. It was a good experience. The food was decent, you get a soup and bread ( which our bread came out about 45 minutes after the soup ) you get the main meal ( we got chicken, a potato and corn ) which was good! Especially the potato! Drinks which one of my kids didn't gets hers for a good 45 minutes. Coffee and dessert. Which was also good. The server we had was very slow or maybe just overly busy but our food came out slow. We were given a piece at a time and it would take 15 to 20 minutes just to get the next piece...I prefer to eat my food all together. As expected the extras are pricey. No matter where you sit you have a great view. The show was awesome and horses are beautiful. All in all, I would probably return.

Medieval Times & Tournament is a captivating dining experience that transports you back to a bygone era of chivalry and valor. From the moment you step inside, the staff's warm hospitality sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. The cleanliness of the establishment adds to the overall pleasant atmosphere.The highlight of the visit is undoubtedly the food. Each dish is prepared with care, offering a taste of medieval fare fit for a king. But what truly sets this place apart is the immersive entertainment provided by the knights tournament. As you feast, you're treated to a thrilling spectacle of combat and pageantry, making you feel like a noble in the midst of the action. The energy in the air as guests cheer for their chosen champion adds an exciting element to the dining experience.Overall, Medieval Times & Tournament never fails to deliver a fantastic time. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique night out, this establishment offers an unforgettable blend of delicious food and thrilling entertainment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining adventure.

Great place for the family. Fun filled, action packed experience. Great example of dinner and a show. Food was really good, really not much of a selection, what they serve is really the only thing you get. But it's a lot of fun for everyone. Customer service is good, everything is served in portions so that's really the only time you see your server, but they do try to be as attentive as possible. I would recommend this for a family dinner and a show.

Our server was amazing and attentive. We did have a minor issue with one staff member who rushed us out after the show. We had someone in a wheelchair, and it took her a bit of time to get from our front-row seats to where her scooter was being held. She needed some time to catch her breath due to SOPD, but the staff member wouldn't listen to our explanation. Besides the tomato soup and garlic bread, the food was mostly mediocre. However, the atmosphere is always great and the show remains entertaining. I definitely recommend people try this place and experience it for themselves.

I thought this was a FANTASTIC show!!! I really loved how they interacted with the crowd and how the moment you enter MT, they would immerse you from that era! I thought everyone was great and treated us well!There are lots of souvenirs to choose from and at the end of the show, the cast will come out for a photo shoot! I would watch this a second time!*An important note that the price you pay to enter does NOT include gratuity. And from what my family has experienced, the servers worked very hard! So please don't forget to show your appreciation which can either be done by cash or through Venmo, which the server will provide at the end.Thank you MT for making it so much enjoyable for my family!

Love the atmosphere here had a great time with family 👪 ❤ 💕 💙 love. the cleaning crew is keeping the place very neat. Food is bit expensive but quality is good instead of buying a slice of pizza 🍕 i would recommend whole pizza. Other than that it's a great place for family.

Family fun place and very friendly. Got admission tickets in advance for $50 a piece w/promo (instead of $70 at the door). ATM machine available $15 lockers First Aid Station. Nice shop full of water clothes and shoes and sunglasses.

Price was a little cheaper online. Parking was the most difficult because Knotts camp snoopy and soak city share the same lot. Food reasonably price as most parks are about $15 plus for combos. They need more shower space and places rinse off before and after getting in and out of the water. Clean surroundings for seating areas. Friendly staff.

Knott's Soak City is a great place for children and adults to visit for a day that's certain to please the whole family. Giant Slides, Water Tubes, Water Cannon's, definitely a fun way to beat the heat. Take a relaxing float down the lazy river and you can feel like your in a Tropical Paradise. Luxurious grounds, Food, Drinks, Lockers on site. You can then dry off and rest on one of their many Cabana Chairs. Don't forget to visit the gift shop where you can buy a Bathing Suit, Water Shoes at great prices. The gift shop offer's a wearable pouch that protects your cellphone and you can place Money, ID, Credit Cards, etc inside and film all while in the water, it's $30 but a solid investment that can be used over and over again. If your looking for a Tropical Getaway this place is a must visit.

If you're planning on spending the day here you better get here before they open and get in line. All of the shaded lounge chairs are gone within 30 minutes of opening. There is plenty of seating just some of it is in the sun all day. Great if you want to sunbathe. Nice place to bring the family. And for those of you who are uncomfortable wearing swimwear in public...relax. There are people here of every shape and size. Just enjoy the beautiful weather and have fun with your family. Plenty of play areas and watersides to choose from.There are only two food locations inside the park. A pizza by the slice place up front. And a cafeteria style location in the back of the park. Both are above average theme park food.

When it's not too crowded, it's great! Perfect size water park, with something for everyone. Really appreciate the cashless aspect. Easy to use your digital for payment. Bring a waterproof pouch for your phone!

We visited from out of state and was disappointed with the efficiency of this park. It has a lot of fun rides however they let so many people in that you can only ride about 4 the entire day because the lines were so long. Our experience started with the long car line just to park, then the crazy disorganized way that you had to separate if you had a stroller and/ or bags to enter the park. Then it was impossible finding a shaded spot so we had to go purchase two umbrellas, each $30. We ordered one pizza that was the size of a medium and it was $50. The tube rentals sold out within the first hour. The ride workers were so apathetic that they could care less how long you have been standing in line. You even had to wait in line for the wave pool. At that point it seems that there are just too many people in the park. We spent almost $500 for a family of 6. Needless to say I was very disappointed.

This was my very first time going to Soak City. Everything was great! All of the park was very clean and fun. I went here with my cousin, friend, and my sisters here. They all had some fun too. I went on all the big water slides with my sister and friend. They both had fun on the water slides. This was a great time coming here. I'd love to come back some day!

Ummm… for it being hot and wanting to cool off I wasn’t impressed I was matter of fact grossed out. The amount of people at this place is crazy. It would be nice if they “sold out” or “limited” tickets. I wouldn’t mind waiting for that and enjoy the park rather than waiting again for hours for a 2 second slide. These groups that come to the theme park have no respect of other visitors, they act like they own the place and skip lines. They have this thing of having people wait in lines and all of a sudden like 50 kids rush to that single person or people. Like really what’s the point of a line. Maybe if they had the fast pass option. Idk I’m not part of your marketing team but y’all could do better promotions and run this show like it’s suppose to. Staff doesn’t care, they are here till they gotta go and could care less. I addressed the issue to several managers and not one did anything to accommodate or see what they could do, they simply stood there with the walkie talkie and just blurped into it saying nothing and then walk away. They simply don’t care. And I’m just giving my honest opinion about an experience I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through. Save your $$$ and go to the beach…seriously…. You’ll have more fun and the water is cleaner.

Soak City is awesome! It's the go to summer hang out. It has multiple areas for different interests. They have a kiddie area for the littles, quite large water play area. They have lots of different rides and attractions for the kids, teenagers and adults, plus they even serve alcohol now. The food is delicious and they have a good selection to choose from. Perfect place to relax this summer. Do yourself a favor and get the season pass to both parks + dining. It's an unbeatable deal.No outside food or drinks unless they are simple snacks. No gazebos or tents.Umbrellas and chairs are fine.Don't forget the sunscreen!!

Better than Knot’s berry farm because we did overall had a better time here. The wait for the water slides are definitely 1 hour or more because of the long lines but I spent most of my time in the tide pool and lazy river. The food is also ridiculously expensive because for 6 people the total was 125 dollars.A lot of the slides and water places are unsanitary and it reeks of bo.🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Crowded Sunday. Barely finished all rides. Used the gocity pass.Some issues with dining and cleaning. Only two restaurants where you can dine with the pass, and they are not the cleanest. Basically the floor, trays, chairs and tables are forever dirty, and staff only helps to cleanup every hour I believe. Bird was eating leftover food that was left behind at the end of the day.The queue management is bad at dining and rides. No system and anyone can queue anywhere that they think is right. The grill place has a left and right queue but both are essentially the same yet many just queue a single side and the staff doesn't manage.Rides were generally good except where a single staff has to manage 8 queues(4 rides), and people just makes a mess for the poor staff everytime but going down first before signal is given. Safety concerns as two floats went down the same ride like 3-5seconds apart. And riders are supposed to read the long list of attraction notice before riding which is absurd.

If you have a season pass with a meal pass it's not bad. You can eat every 4 hours for the whole year for free if you get the meal pass. Otherwise you're looking at about $20 for a sandwich. And something like 65 or $70 to get in. Personally I'm not too big of a fan of water parks but it seems very popular from crowds. So it must be good!

We had a blast at soak city! Wait times were decent, rides were great. Would come back again!

Great mid week adventure. It wasn't busy either. Water was nice even though the weather was in the high 70s. If you're brave and ride the fast slides, you'll never wait more than a few minutes. We purchased the "Go City Pass" and received huge discounts on entry. Be prepared to pay $30 for parking. Overall, it was a lot of fun. We will return again.

This was our first time here and we loved it! The water and seating areas were very clean. The staff was very nice and so were the lifeguards. Our son will be 2 next month and LOVED every second of it. Only didn't give it 5 stars since the bathrooms were gross. But we will definitely be going back. Sidenote- you can bring your own food and drinks, just make sure your drinks are in a reusable water bottle like a hydroflask. You also cannot bring any portable speakers, but we were allowed to bring our son's portable sound machine for his nap. You also can bring your own beach umbrellas, which I highly recommend since the shaded seating is limited and fills up fast.

Great park as far as the size and the amount of different water slides had a great time with my family ,but the shade for the lounge chairs is awful.. You better get there early in the morning to grab the 3 or 4 lucky spots that have shade. If not you have to rent a cabana for a hundred and thirty five dollars. If you happen to grab a chair with shade, the sun will move and by the end of the day. Your chair will not have any shade.. Not very good for being a water park for 6 or 7 hours. If a water park is only open during the summer, it should have plenty of shade for family and small kids.

We spent 10 minutes looking for a parking space. There was not a single free sun lounger. Tickets at the box office were 10 dollars more expensive than on the website. Everything is packed with people, the queues for the slide are huge 30-45 minutes, the instructors themselves pull these queues. In 3 hours we rode only two slides. There is a queue to enter even the wave pool. The river is closed for an hour and a half for relaxation. I do not recommend visiting this water park in summer. It is necessary to limit the number of people in the water park for a normal holiday. It turns out that you are not buying a trip to the Water Park, but a ticket for standing in line

If you go to soak city during the summer make sure you're ready.-prep food and snack since lines are somewhat long-best time to find places to sit down around 4:30-closing-buy the season pass with parking*-buy the season cup and add dinner meals to your pass (more bang for the buck)*-take a hat (over priced)-take watershoes since people take shoes (sometime)-take umbrella or beach umbrellaAnd have fun (:What bettet way? Than soak city!

This is one of my favorite places to go this year! It is really pretty with lots of palm trees, green lawns & green shrubbery! I have gone 8 times(I have an annual pass) in the last 3 months! I absolutely love Soak City! The staff is always friendly,it is always clean & the restrooms are well maintained! Is is a fun place for kids of all ages!

Great water park! Decent amount of rides. There's a lazy river and there are lots of slides. Great place for kids. Restrooms on site. Staff is everywhere picking up trash and cleaning trash containers. Only 2 places to eat in the park, so limited food choices. Get the dining plan, totally worth it.

The park is very nice. The only thing that made our visit difficult was the lack of any kind of map or help to know where you're at exactly. My kids are young, so I was looking for certain areas of the park that I never found. Personal is not very friendly. The slides and the wave bay are a lot of fun.

Had so much fun the park is smaller than I remember, but it's been years. If you haven't been it's a must visit for the kids!a

A convenient great water park within OC. Open only during summer season, kids and adults can enjoy equally. My favorite is sunset river, getting a tube may need a bit of wait unless you choose to rent one. Not very deep 2.6 ft, so easy walk or float.

Pretty fun park! Love the lazy river. The seating is limited but that’s ok. We ended up buying a pass and spending half the day at soak city and half at knotts. Make sure to bring sandals to soak city- you need them throughout the park.

Took our family of 6 here from out of state and we could not be more disappointed. I understand they are in the business of making money, but like other parks, you make more money year after year if you get repeat customers, and we will not be one of them. There were WAY TOO MANY people allowed in. I understand most parks have the popular rides that you wait in line for, but we have NEVER had to wait in line for a wave pool or lazy river. We are water park enthusiasts and prefer going to these rather than amusement parks because there is always something you can do if ride lines are long, but not here. The lazy river was so packed that most people were just walking in the 2 feet of water to stay cool. The wave pool has a line to get in that wrapped around the corner. The breaking point for us was the large tube family ride. We were in line for almost 2 hours because of the amount of people, it had only 4 tubes that slowly went up the conveyor belt (you should have at least 10) then the workers of the ride allowed two small children weighing no more than 100 pounds COMBINED, onto the tube and it was too light to go down so they got stuck. The ride was shut down, and two supervisors had to come and turn off the water, walk the 10 feet to the kids, and walk them DOWN the slide (which it would have been faster to walk them back to the top). The ride remained shut down until those children got to the bottom and were escorted back up to the top of the ride! They didn’t let anyone ride, until those two little children got back up to the top. How does this make any sense!? You easily could have kept the ride going for those who were sitting in the sun until the children got back up with their mother. After this, my children asked to leave. Usually, it’s the parents who need to pull that trigger, but it was such a miserable experience, that my kids begged us to leave the park. You can do better, Knots Berry.

Great place for kids, water has high levels of chlorine smell. Hard to obtain refreshments. Always best to bring your own.

The place is a good place to visit with family and friends, to have fun in the water, the rides are good... Just that making a line for so long! It's crazy, by the time they close, you don't enjoy all the rides, maybe a few, and if you want the line to be faster, you have to buy a pass that is a bit pricey 🏊🏼‍♀️🌊💦⛲😎☀️well other than that my family and I had fun, did our best to enjoyed as much as we could

It's Raging Waters. How can you not have fun? The chicken tenders are definitely expensive at $15 but they're really good if that's any consolation. The fries are also good. The lazy river is fun as long as you're in a tube. The water is very dirty so you don't really want to get in it. The rides are all great and the staff is friendly. It's a good time. Alot plenty of time for parking. While they have several shuttles and a bus, it's alot of people to move around.

It is very suitable for exciting young people and families to play with water! I'll take my two children there to play! The child likes it very much! There are many staff at the intersection to guide the direction of diverting the car. Parking is very convenient. There is a sightseeing bus connection. You can also choose the parking lot near the park (you need to book online and pay $25) because I have 4 children! I bought a quarterly ticket! One person can bring 4 friends for free! Super cost-effective. The overall experience is great. It's not as bad as it is said on the Internet. If you want to enter the park quickly, you must buy it online! Quarterly tickets are the best choice for me or my family. Be sure to buy a mobile phone waterproof bag before you go! The paradise is very expensive for $35 each! Buy $7.5 in the supermarket

Love working here! Definitely a great team dynamic, plenty of room for advancement, and effcient way to earn some income during the summer months. Also grew up coming here as a guest with family and friends and have made some amazing memories along the way. Seen the transformations and improvements of the park over the years and hope to continue seeing the park provide guests with fun-filled experiences. I recommend a season pass!

Cool family spot but there are a lot of negatives. Pizza at the cabana sucks. Preferred parking is $50! Like wow. Ice was not cold in the drinks. Tubes in the lazy river are first come first serve basis. Waves in the wave pool are not even high. Lol But I would come back tho.

The cavan is a great deal. Plus you can order food and drinkd via QR code and it gets delivered to you. They do not take cash anywhere there. So have $ in the bank or they also have a kiosk where you can buy and load a pre-paid card

The experience I had today was horrible. We’re a family of 7. It cost around three hundred to get in the park with Groupon. We live an hour and a half from the park. The line to pay took 40 min to reach the front. There were no booths just employees running to cars with a card machine. The tram from parking was so unorganized. People were just jumping in front of the line because there were no employees to regulate the line. After the 5th tram I was over it. We almost got into a fight because people were literally cutting us all. We purchased the food vouchers which states “A combo meal.” We finally reach the front of the food line 2 hours waiting!!!! They tell us it’s for the single burgers which aren’t even advertised on the menu. Where do we eat?????? No tables were available. You can’t bring personal chairs or food which people did. I’m upset that i followed the rules. Someone I hope a kid pooped on the stairs of a ride and we had to exit the line after waiting an hour to get on. My husband and I wanted to give our children the experience of going to Raging Waters, but unfortunately I will never return!!!!!! The park would be nice if they had organization. We wasted 400.00 on this trip not including gas and parking. Parking was 25 dollars. Preferred parking is 50. When I spoke to a manager about this she simple said she knows the frustration and they’re working on making it smoother. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Never again!!! I can’t even leave zero stars!!! One is too generous!!!

Nice and relaxing day once we were permitted to go in area for Cabana we reserved! Gates opened at 10am, wasn't allowed in area to check-in for Cabana til after 10:15am,then not allowed in Cabana area til 11:00am...Wasted time just standing around.Need better procedure to accommodate guest.

A summer day perfectly spent with kids and friends!Pristine wave pool , kiddie pool, and those big slides huh!! The big slides are more than enough for your adequate adrenaline flow...Please remember of the long lines you will be experiencing for all big rides..This was my second visit in 4 years and as always I found 2 to 3 rides were under maintenance.Make sure you have enough of sunscreen and a sunglass.Food inside is too expensive ,and not that savory , if you are taking premium parking $50, you may bring food and keep in cooler.Have a waterproof mobile pouch or keep it in locker. Complete park is now cashless.Njoy

It's a great place. If you are looking for fun for a day, this would be a perfect water park for you.But if you are looking for something very exciting, this may not be the best place for you.There's a shuttle bus for a USD 20 parking pass. Not too far from the park.We arrive at 1120, leaving around 1700. Save your favorite spot to the last could save your time on queuing.The summer sale of USD 39.99 per person is a great deal.I believe that the raging racer is the best facility for those who like exciting facilities and dislike queuing.

Group of 6 friends and I came on Father’s Day and it was -awesome- no long lines on any of the rides, we managed to do every single ride in the park. Snacks and stuff were pretty $$$ but that’s expected at any theme park. The wave pool had very small waves, but the lazy river was fantastic.

No outside food, coolers, or chairs allowed. But was fun! Great family environment. If you map your drive be sure to type " Raging waters parking" it will save you some miles!

Pros = This is the best water park in SoCal, lots of different slides for all ages, a good lazy river, big kids play area, decent food and amenities.Cons = The $50 "Preferred" parking lot is bullshizzery! You used to be able park close to the entrance if you got there early for the standard fee, but now it doesn't matter, $25 puts in the overflow lots a mile away and you have to wait for a tram, the preferred was half empty all day, that sucks especially for people with little ones.They also could use some more shade structures around the food area, standing in line for 30-45 minutes in direct sun is brutal at 90+.

I see that there’s a lot of negative reviews on this place but that is not the case on my experience. We had a great time here with the kids. The food is descent but if you want to bring your own food you can. Staff were always friendly to us and helpful. When we went it was clean and the stores were organized. The bathrooms were clean and there was always someone in there cleaning the bathrooms. Overall it was a great experience and would return for summer!

We got the tickets online the night before, there was a Labor Day sale, one adult ticket was $39.99 plus a service fee around $4 ($8 service fee for 2 tickets). We also bought the standard parking ($25) and H2Go standard pass ($55). The parking was fine, we got there early as the park was opening. You have to ride a tram so I would recommend getting there early if you buy standard parking. We thought the H2Go pass saved a lot of waiting on a Saturday and allowed us to go on more rides. It was not overly crowded. A Beyond Burger w/ fries was around $18, so was the small locker which fit one backpack. It was fun! Lots of enjoyable water rides, my favorites were High Extreme and Bombs Away 😎

Judging by the reviews my expectations were so low that I almost didn't go even though we had pre-purchased tickets on a 4th of July sale.We ended up going on Friday 16 August and my family and friends had a great time. There were so few people the main parking lot didn't even fill up and the $25 general parking was just a short walk to our car.The park was clean. The lifeguards were all very friendly. The lines were short. We brought our lunch because the park prices were high and we read that wait times were very long but there were so few people in the park i didn't it took very long to get food.I can see how the experience would be much different on a weekend or holiday.

Raging Waters Los Angeles deserves a resounding 5-star rating for its exhilarating water park experience. While the $50 preferred parking is optional, I highly recommend purchasing it for the convenience and ease it brings to the day. The thrilling water rides and attractions make a waterproof cellphone case an absolute must-have, allowing you to capture every exciting moment worry-free. However, finding available lunch tables can be a bit challenging as some visitors leave their belongings on them without renting lockers. Nevertheless, this minor inconvenience pales in comparison to the overall enjoyment the park offers. While the $20 slush with one-time refill availability may not be the best value, the fun-filled activities and joyous atmosphere more than compensate for it. Raging Waters Los Angeles guarantees an unforgettable and splashing good time for everyone, making it an ideal destination for families and thrill-seekers alike.

Got the season pass for the family. Staff is awesome and we had a great experience. Lines moved pretty fast during the week. Longest we waited was 15 minutes. Weekends are a different story. Get there early to get decent beach chairs. Food is just ok. In my opinion the hot dog place is the best. Tried the pizza, ice cream, burgers, and chicken strips. And they are not worth what your paying. But in my opinion the hot dog place is delicious. The chili fries are my favorite!

Unless you pay $50 bucks for preferred parking, the experience is terrible. Even though it’s no where close to being sold out the tram comes once every 20 minutes. It’s also not very well maintained, slides have holes, speakers are rusted.

Let’s start off by saying this is no where close to be a top 10 water park. Whatever person, website etc. listed that’s is either a lie or the review is extremely old. It’s either over crowded or its not equipped to handle to volume of people. 60 deep standing in the food line is crazy. Not enough chairs or places to sit is just as bad or worse. Lastly the bathrooms are dirty with poop and piss on the floors and walls.Overall it is managed poorly with little to no organization.Save time and insanity and pick a different water park !!

Zero stars. Worst water park in so cal. You’ll wait an hour for the tram to get up there. And an hour for each ride. It’s not worth your money. I spent a grand here for tickets and a cabana and tbh I feel super cheated. I hated this place and I only recommend it if you’re buying tickets for someone you desperately hate. You have to wait in the world’s longest line to leave as well. 0/10.

Great place to keep Kool on a hot summer day but they have a lot of issues, one day they didn't have parking. It's a cashless park and their whole system was down not able to take payments at the front gate when purchasing tickets. Lines to purchase food can take up to a couple hours to get your food. They need to improve these things and the experience would be better.

I got the season pass last year was the best summer I've had in a long time I'm planning to get it again this year I even got a free JBL speaker for being a pass holder. Highly recomienda it I've been coming here since I could remember about 7 yrs old im now 27 and the fun never ends. I've introduced new memberz of the family to this water park and we all love it. 💕 can't wait to be back

I love raging waters but I believe it could be so much better if they put in some work into the park. My two biggest concerns are the food and the cleanliness. Everywhere is super dirty here, from the floors to the tables and chairs there’s old food, leaves, dust and spiderwebs everywhere. I don’t understand why they can’t keep it clean and hose it down. To continue the food options are very limited and the ones that were available were disgusting. My mom and I got two burgers and one bite in we knew we couldn’t eat it and got a refund. Even the fries were off. We got a pizza after but it was bland as well but at least it was edible. There used to be a Carl’s Jr years ago I don’t know why they got rid of it. Small improvements like these would make such a difference. Otherwise the rides and park are amazing I also love the employees and lifeguards they are always super nice and friendly.

Very bad organization! There is not enough parking space for cars. very long queues for rides and for food. there is not enough space to put your things! no free tables to eat. if you bought a parking lot for $25, get ready to take a bus to the park and then back, there is a very long line back, so it's better to get out early. The food is not very tasty, it is better to take something with you

We went to the water park . The service was good and the slides were fun. The lines were decent in length. At the worst it was a fifteen minute wait.Biggest advise is to arrive before 10 in order to secure a table for your family.Do be aware that they have college students as lifeguards and workers at the water park. They were very a good people and friendly .We also had problems with the parking which will cost $25 . But the bus was so fast to pick up. The food was kind expensive and not every thing they have as cappuccino they don’t have….

I went to this park on a Saturday in June to celebrate my 4 year old’s birthday. She had an absolute blast. It was super family and toddler friendly. It’s a great place to celebrate a child’s birthday and pretty affordable for an amusement park. Lots to do and something for all ages. The employees were friendly and very patient with my toddler. The food was basic but my toddler is happy with fries and hotdogs so I thought it was fine.Basic parking is $25 and you have to take a tram. We got there at 1030am and there was plenty of parking. Tram wait was less than 20 minutes on a Saturday so that was a plus. My only con was that all chairs had people’s stuff on them and even the tables. I am not talking about the paid cabanas. Just the chairs. People sometimes just put a shoe or a towel and basically just “reserved” chairs that they barely used. They even did it to tables. I ended up having to spread a towel in a corner to feed my toddler when lots of chairs had no one on them. At one point, I sat at a table with someone’s towels and fed my kid a whole meal and then left and no one ever came over. There should be a time limit. Also, if you are not actively eating at a table, you should not just get to leave a towel or a shoe to reserve it all day for the two meals you may have. I just wish people were more considerate with that. That is the only reason I took a star off. We will be going back. My family of 3 had a great time.

Total waste of time, if had an option i would return my ticket, even selling the ticket would make more sense.We came at 2 pm and until 6.30 pm we were only able to ride 3 slides, wait lines did not make any sense. We waited 1.20 hours minimum for any rideWe chose the general parking, and told us to wait shuttle, guess what, another 1 hour wait line 😅 total waste of time. And you can’t complain because they will likely say thats why we are selling preferred parking for $75 lol.Ps. Wave pool was smelling like a pee. And restrooms were so dirty. People dont want pay for lockers so they are using the tables so there is no place to sit and eat.Final thought: better dont come on weekends or definitely buy premium pass cuz you can cut the lines that way…

It's such a beautiful place. My wife and I spent a couple of hours exploring and still need to come back to see the rest. It's a way bigger space than we realized, which was awesome. There are plenty of bathrooms and water stations as well as a good amount of shade and benches. It's really cool to see so many of our native plants and ecosystems. There was even a wedding taking place when we visited today. They have the garden broken down into categories of natural ecosystems, and the bird and butterfly garden were my wife's favorites. Can't wait to come back!

Honestly a beautiful place to take a walk and one of the better botanic gardens in Los Angeles or the surrounding areas. I was on my way home to Los Angeles from an appointment out East and luckily had time to stop here and was so glad that I did so. There are plenty of walking paths and beautiful flowers and trees to see although it is a bit more arid than some other botanic gardens it is still really beautiful and somewhere I plan to go back to soon. It was not as busy as some of the other larger ones like Descanso so that was another big bonus.Overall I would recommend to anyone and there’s also hiking paths that crisscross through out it so if you’re interested in doing that I would bring some outdoor shoes but aside from that this is something for all ages and fitness levels.

It is worth every penny! With all the rain we had a couple months back the plants were so vibrant. We spent about a couple hours just really taking in the sights, sounds, and smells this garden had to offer.

The California Botanic Garden was a beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Each section teaches visitors about the different types of plants and trees found in the region. The garden is organized by plant categories, which helps visitors visualize how they may see some of the plants in the wild. The trails were well maintained too. While we visited, several weddings were happening at the same time, so it seems like this could be a beautiful and unique wedding venue as well!

I love it. This botanic garden features all native Californian plants! The educational signage is excellent, giving both botanical information and easy-to-understand advice for home gardeners. The gardens are quite large and if you walk through the entire thing, you will have taken quite a good walk!

The California Habitat area here is particularly unique! Don’t let the bare entrance fool you. This botanic garden features a well-maintained wilderness! Once I got away from the entrance, I felt separated from the surrounding suburbs. There’s much to enjoy here, even if you won’t find a lot of cultivated, planted flowers like some of the other gardens in the area.

A gorgeous and well maintained place devoted to native plants and trees of California. Of course those indigenous to Southern California grow better and healthier but there was a decent amount of NorCal representation. A high recommendation for any lover of nature

Great place to visit. There is a variety of native plants, flowers, and trees. The admission is $10.00 for an adult. Parking is free. They have an outside gift shop. There is a lot to see, so come prepared. Wear comfortable clothing, a hat, and bring water. There are facility restrooms on site.

I JUST LOVEEEE the ambience!!! It is soooooo relaxing and calm. It feels refreshing, soothing and peaceful. I think one should definitely go there to recharge and get in tune with one's self. It has all the makings for a great date. One could really take the time to know someone without the distraction of the hustle and bustle of every day. There are some benches outside in the parking lot and one could have an awesome picnic after walking around. They do have a lot of things to see, birds, squirrels, a pond with turtles.They have many fountains for various animals and insects. The plants are well kept and there are plenty of secluded or private benches to lounge around and relax.

I loved every second of it! A true nature walk, the sun, noises of the animals, and the scenery of the plants and view are truly beautiful! It also smells so amazing! They also offer a membership, which I highly recommend getting!! ##CometoCalifornia ##comevisitus

I've been to many native CA gardens and this one is wonderfully huge! An amazing space to see how native plants can flourish when given a large amount of space. Be prepared to walk a lot, we just did the main loop and walked over 3 miles.

Had my wedding here on April 13 at the forest pavilion and it was great. The ceremony was suppose to be at the cultivar garden, but unexpected rain made us change it to the Lenz classroom.The Botanical Gardens was very accommodating in the last minute changes including the last minute set up of an extra tent and day of set up of the ceremony and reception. The gardens provides many locations for beautiful pictures and is such a wonderful place to explore.Their wedding services includes tram service to and from the parking area, ceremony and reception area. Their bride and groom rooms are close to the restroom and reception area.My guest enjoyed the gardens and I was able to capture beautiful picture with all the flowers in bloom.

The garden is a beautiful natural setting, specializing in California native plants of all kinds, bushes to sequoia.Be prepared to walk, it's quite large.

$10 entrance fee per adult, $6 Sr. & student, $4 child, free parking. # different areas to explore: SoCal Garden is flat, paved, easy walk north from the entrance. Mesa Garden up the hill from the entrance with a turtle pond, reflecting pond, Sage Gallery and garden, Butterfly garden and others. CA plant communities garden with Chaparral, Channel Islands, Juniper Woodland, Oak garden, and others with paved road and separate trail running all of these. I went to a local Native Plant Nursery after this to get the plants I fell in love with.

Was expecting a nicer Home Depot garden experience. Was absolutely blown away.Think of this like a shorter, but much more diverse, hike through California’s backcountry. You can make this as long or short as a walk as you’d like. My wife and I who are regular hikers walked through slowly for about an a hour and a half in Chacos. There are paved and non paved trail options.We dont have kids, but we feel like it’s a great spot to bring them.10/10 experience and we signed up to be members.

I came for the first time because I was in the area and had lots of time, and I’m so glad I stopped by. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it was relatively uncrowded.The place is huge, gorgeous, and you are surrounded by the peaceful sounds of birds, crickets, and squirrels running around. It’s amazing to see a place dedicated to preserving Californias native plants. There are tons of trails for all comfort levels to explore. Some are large and obvious, others slightly more hidden but still clearly marked.

Amazing place! We walked around for 2 hours but definitely needed more time to check out the entire garden. Lovely place to go with the family! Bring hats!

Title: Tranquil Oasis: California Botanic GardenNestled in nature's embrace, the California Botanic Garden offers a serene escape. The loop trail, adorned with vibrant flora, leads visitors on a leisurely journey through native Californian beauty. Playful squirrels add charm as you breathe in the crisp air. Completing the trail in under an hour, it's a perfect retreat for nature lovers of all kinds.

Gorgeous place for a leisurely hike. Very reasonably priced at $10.Such gorgeous surroundings. Wish the trails were a little better marked - but it was lovely to wander around.Hope to be able to return and see more of the grounds!

Visited once and became a member. Stop by and check it out for yourself! You can thank me later. If trees make you happy then this is your Heaven on Earth..... Boojum tree is stunning!!

Very relaxing botanic garden. Spent about an hour strolling around the garden grounds. There are lots of hidden spots to sit and relax. Overall, it's a wonderful botanic garden. Plus the parking is free.

A tourist attraction in Yorba Linda worth a visit. The presidential libraries system is a nationwide network of 15 libraries administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). These are repositories for preserving and making available the papers, records, collections and other historical materials of every president of the United States.So at the Nixon library, there are exhibits showing the historical events during Nixon’s presidency. Nixon was credited for opening China. There is huge poster with life size bronze status of president Nixon and China’s then premier zhou shaking hand.For those of you that are interested in finding out more about the Cold War, many unclassified documents disclosed a lot of interesting intense moments between Russia and the West.Nixon’s presidential helicopter is also on display on the side yard of the library. It’s cool to see the inside of this flying machine. I thought it would be more plush.It’s a bit of a drive for me to get there but it was worth it to visit at a piece of history in person.

The museum looks very inconspicuous and small from the outside. Once inside, I found it to be very full and substantial.The exhibits include various pictures, videos, audios, models, souvenirs, and lifelike documentaries, which help us fully understand the president's life. His political career, his contribution to the United States, his love for the people, his loyalty to his family, everything moved me. I saw the house where the president was born and went inside to take a look.Although many of the houses have been maintained, the general structure still maintains the decorations from 1912. I really appreciate the layout of everything and the staff are also very dedicated. Everything is so perfect.I think this trip is very worthwhile. Quiet, real, like this land.

As the owner of Splashes of Time Photography (splashesoftime.com) I must say I love weddings at the Nixon Library. There's so many great photo locations and the staff is amazing. Highly recommend!

Visited Nixon Library on a weekend with friends.Great place to come visit and relive country's past history.Nixon life story with history of politics he was involved with.From Nixon's childhood all the way to his final days.Great place to check off anyone's bucket list. If you love history and want to revisit when we were all younger growing up.

Time helps us understand history. The Nixon Presidential Library helps us all put the past into perspective. The story of some of the most turbulent times in our Nation's history is very well told here.Obviously Watergate, is told in detail, as are such milestones as the return of America's Vietnam POW's, the negotiated peace and exit from Vietnam, and Nixon's leadership in environmental and worker protection, and greater integration of our races and genders.As a male born in 1972 I knew only part of the story. I knew each of the events but had never had their interconnections drawn. I failed to see the diplomat he was as a President and the elder statesman he had become after his Presidency.I am so glad we came here. I would not recommend it for people under the age of about 15 because there is just a lot to absorb but I will definately be returning because there is still more for me to take in. The museum is very well curated and the docents are incredible.Oh and where else can you sit behind the Presidents desk in an exact replica of the Oval Office?

A hidden gem! Who would've known Richard Nixon accomplished so much such as founding the EPA, signing the Clean Air and Water Act, and ending the Vietnam War! The list goes way beyond the three point I made. Before the museum I only knew Nixon for Watergate, afterwards, I know even more about Watergate, but I also know a lot of great things Nixon did. In my opinion, this is the most informative and opinion shifting presidential library. Showing both the malevolence and benevolence within Richard NixonDefinitely recommend!

My second visit to a presidential library. Nixon's colorful history with his groundbreaking cultural diplomatic visit to China, ending the Vietnam War, and the infamous Watergate Scandal. Taking the opportunity to tour Nixon's childhood home on the library grounds, seeing a lifesize replica of the Presidential Oval Office, walking along the beautiful gardens, and immersing myself with the historical exhibits were great experiences. I admired how Nixon's demise with the Watergate scandal were presented in great detail and accuracy.

A very well-organized museum. It's quite enjoyable as it has extensive collection. If you did not know about the the Watergate, thus is the place to learn about it with multimedia experience. Recommended for students as they can look and feel 60&70 in a few hours.

I had not previously visited a presidential library. This was a good place to start. The library was very educational and gave some intimate views into the life of Richard Nixon. I was impressed with his family's humble beginnings and his rise to the presidency. The library itself is very modern and well done with modern displays and visuals. Fortunately, Richard Nixon's boyhood home is right next door and it is a great glimpse into the era. Tour of the home is included in the price of admission.

Learn about President Richard Nixon as well as many other Presidents. Very spacious and wonderful exhibits. See the gardens, his original home he was born in and the two wings of the library. Beautiful and informative. Plan on spending 1.5 to 2.5 hours to get a look at all it has to offer.

My expectations were kind of low for this visit, but I came away feeling like this was a very worthwhile experience. My biggest concern was that the whole Watergate affair would be whitewashed or minimized. It wasn't. There is an entire room dedicated to the matter and his staff farewell address on a loop on one of the displays. I knew there was, what I assumed, was model of his boyhood home on the grounds. It's not a model, it's the actual home that his father built and the museum sits on the site of their orchard that was established in the early 1900's. A lot of the furnishings and accessories are also authentic as his mother had the wherewithal put their belongings in storage when the family relocated. They also have *the* helicopter that he boarded on the day he left the Whitehouse after the resignation.

Milhous was a dynamic leader whose accomplishments have been overshadowed by one moment in time. He provided consultation and advice to Reagan, both of the Bush's and Clinton. He is responsible for SSI, he funded the EEOC, he created OSHA and the EPA, he signed two landmark arms control treaties with the Soviet Union, he opened the world to China, he made the U. S. military a volunteer service, he oversaw the desegregation of southern schools, he gave native American's the right to tribal self determination and opened the door for women in collegiate sports by signing Title IX.

As a student of history and politics, it is always an enjoyable experience to learn more about a historical figure. The museum does a wonderful job in displaying details about a very complex man. Pat Nixon's Garden is absolutely beautiful and tranquil.

My first time visit. The main reason was to attend an Artism Foundation Exhibition at one of the halls. The garden was amazing. We took a tour to visit President Nixon old house.Quote “I believe in American dream because I have seen it come true in my own life.” Richard Nixon, July 19, 1990.This visit was marvelous!

The RN Library & Birthplace is a must for people that love history. The docents at this museum are dedicated, kind, professional, and helpful. The Oval Office replica is amazing. There's even a replica of the East Room. I find the childhood home most moving of all. They've preserved the original furnishings.

I've photographed several weddings at The Nixon Library throughout the years, most recently this past year for Kaye & Linh's big day. This venue never disappoints, it's beautiful both inside and outside in the gardens. I highly recommend this wedding venue.

One of my outings with our residentsA little history and reminiscing with the past is always an awesome moment with our residents... It was such an experience and for me as well ... of course, we will be returning with another group

President Richard Nixon Library and MuseumRecently refreshed the museum has 70 Exhibits and 30 multimedia events plus hundreds of pictures. It also includes his birthplace.Admission 25.00 TicketThe facilities are clean and well lit. It is Handicap Accessible in its parking, entry and bathrooms.The site has ample parkingIf you are a history lover like I am browse the exhibits and soak in our nations history.

Love this place. It is full of history, and the rose garden is delightful and peaceful. Went to see the special exhibit "Portraits of Courage" by George W. Bush. Wonderful exhibit and worth seeing. ❤️

My friend found this event on the Fever app. My friends and I wound up going to the Candlelight concert with the orchid quartet playing tribute songs of Taylor Swift. We had a total blast! If you never been to a classical candlelight concert surrounded by candlelights with your favorite music artists played by the orchid quartet, I highly recommend you check them out. The orchid quartet is music to my ears. I would totally go to their concerts in the years ahead. Thank you for making this night a memorable experience!

This was an excellent experience! The musicians were outstanding and they did a great job of incorporating crowd participation. Loved hearing Beyoncé‘s music in this format 💜

The concert was absolutely amazing and filled with so much emotion! It was an incredible experience for my friends because it was their very first string quartet performance. They were completely blown away and couldn't find the words to express how they felt. Let me tell you, the Richard Nixon museum venue was the perfect choice for this show. It added an extra layer of charm and made the whole concert even more special. I can confidently say that it was one of the most beautiful and emotional concerts I've ever been to!

Great show.Two birds with one night out.It was held at the Nixon library .The chairs could’ve been more comfortable during the concert.

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph a heartwarming wedding at the Richard Nixon Library and Museum, and it was nothing short of magical. The historic charm of the venue provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, style, and cherished moments. The bride, groom, and their two little angels, Axel and Delilah, made the day truly special. Every corner of the library and museum seemed to come to life with their laughter and love. I would highly recommend the Richard Nixon Library and Museum for any couple seeking a venue with historic charm, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of this unforgettable day. Five stars and beyond! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed the Candlelight tribute with Taylor Swift. I like the way they set up with the performers in the center, giving everyone, even with the low priced seats a good view of performers. The Richard Nixon Library is beautiful and with the candles set all around was absolutely breathtaking. Would love to do this again at this venue since its convenient, simple parking and easy to get to.

I had wanted to see this library for years and I was favorably impressed. It would have been nice to be able to walk through Marine One, but just seeing it up close was an enjoyable first for me. The museum content seems to fairly reflect the good and the controversial, and like all presidential libraries, there is a LOT to take in, so allow plenty of time. Being able to engage with the surroundings of the Oval Office was also a nice first since usually you are only allowed to view this kind of political sacred ground from behind the velvet ropes.

It' a great place to visit with the family, kids friendly. You can take a walk with your 🐕 . It's a big place, great for parties or barbecue. With a lake view where you can also rent a pedal boat with a swan shape. Also, bikes for rent are available or bring your own bicycle 🚲 Trashcan is close by every picnic area. The restrooms are clean, and there is plenty of space to play sports games. There's also summer movie nights and other activities. Great parking lot space with handicap ♿️ access.

By far, the best Park I've ever been to. Very well maintained with super clean restrooms and plenty of empty trash cans. This park is setup to allow a great experience if you desire a nice walk, sit and enjoy nature, play in the many play areas, play volleyball, walk your dog, ride a bike, rent a paddle boat and fish one of the 4 lakes. I caught over 25 small bluegills, and saw several large bass, trout, and carp. At the end of the day, I finally hooked up a nice bass. It is definitely worth the entry fee and I'm definitely coming back again and again.

Yorba is a very large and clean regional park. Upon entering, you'll see a beautiful lake and kids' park. A series of beautifully colored trees will accompany you on each side. This is especially true if you go during the winter or fall, when the trees have orange leaves.

Water in the biggest lake was really clear! Lots of picnic tables and chairs. Restroom was clean. Nice to walk around the area to get those daily steps count.

It's a park and nothing more. Yes, the little ponds and birds are nice but there's nothing really special about this park. I think it looks well taken care of and restrooms were fairly clean. However, you have to pay to get in and I think this is absurd! Parks are for everyone, no matter what their SES is. And taxpayer monies are contributing to the upkeep of the park. Likely won't go back.

Nice experience to visit this park. Has a nice and big lake,a lot of nature and some wild animals.(snakes) good for a party or any celebration 🎉🎉 .. fishing are and renting bikes!!

Yorba Regional Park has a long lake.You can ride swan boats and kayak on the rake.Also, you can borrow bikes to ride.This park is peaceful and you can see beautiful sunset while you are walking around the lake.

Love this park.Dogs love the squirrels lots of space for food family picnic BBQ.Around 6 dollars to drive in for a single car.Lots of shade trees and water.Yorba Linda Regional park has a strict dog leash policy.If you want your dog off leash you need to take your pups to the baseball outfield at the west end of the park. There you can play the ball field is city owned, and no problems being off leash.

I just took my daughter to run with her school team it seemed nice plenty of parking. We got there at 7am and left at 9 am on a FridayWe didn't need to use the restrooms, so we don't know if they have any or if they're clean.I saw people with dogs

Such a pretty park! We live in Orange/Anaheim area but drive out here once a week to take our dog for a walk along the trail 🐶💕

This park is enormous! There’s plenty of trails, trees for shade, hammocks and yoga trapeze, as well as a lake. $3 entrance fee but well worth it for the upkeep of this beautiful park. There’s definitely highway noises but it becomes more like ambient noise to me after a while. Great place to picnic, read a book and/or take walks!

This is an odd narrow park but there is so much packed into thus space. I love all the playgrounds and ponds that are there. The rental of bikes ans soon boats are AWESOME. The small hills are an added bonus for anyone who enjoys biking or hiking around. Overall, this is a great park to visit. Parking Monday-Friday is $3 , and $5 on Saturdays and Sundays.

One of my favourite park to go to it has hiking trails, lake and lots beautiful trees.

I love visiting this park on my free time and as a photographer. There is a good amount of space, so it never feels congested, especially in the areas that are further from the playgrounds. Staff is friendly and the grounds are clean. The best part is the landscapes. Visually, there are so many landscape options. From dirt trails and forest like trees, to lakes and lush backdrops - it's hard not to take a good photo here! Perfect for engagement photos.

Very nice park, clean and well taken care of.Awesome playgrounds fit for any age.Tons of picnic tables. 3 dollar fee for each car entered even if it is the same day. Wish it was an all day pass in case you forget something.

This park is huge and beautiful. My son had family portraits done here and proposed to his high school sweetheart. He also plays Flag Football here next to the baseball fields. The park has plenty of walking paths, playground, scenic areas, baseball fields and open grass areas plus more. I haven't been through the entire park, but from what I've seen, it's an amazing park for any event, occasion or activity. I've included pictures, but blurred/covered faces to protect their privacy.

Beautiful lake, well maintained. They make the park near the river look like a forest.Parking: Free if you park by the softball fields on the far west side. The rest you have to pay. Lots of spots on both ends.They have peddle boat and bike rentals. They have lots of space for picnics, popular for kids birthdays. I didn't see any homeless like some parks. Tons of squirrels running around. Lots of people go there to fish.

Haven't been here in a while. The 91 was the usual parking lot & Gunther (the Doxie) needed a break. The grass was well maintained, and the weather was beautiful! Sitting on the grass was wonderful. The bathroom was clean. It was definitely a piece of paradise.

plenty of shade provided by the many trees. lots of tables and grills with nearby trash cans. has a lake where you can fish, and a few jungle gyms. probably the best park ive been to in recent years. highly recommend for large family gatherings.

Too difficult to turn into the park because the gate isn’t set further into the park. I recommend going past the entrance, make a u turn and then turn right into the park entrance. The park is spacious with bathrooms close to the seating areas and maintenance is kept nicely. Not a lot of trash laying around either so that’s a plus! It wasn’t very sunny the day we went and it was sprinkling but we still had a really nice time with family as we bbq’d! Would def go back!

It's a big park,very clean! Good to ride a bike,have a pick nick or just go for a walk. The restrooms are clean and there's plenty of parking. You have to pay $5 per car but is well worth it.

It’s a wonderful park. It’s so spacious. It has so many playgrounds. Great for parties and get togethers. It’s a beautiful park. It has a rental service equipment area where you can rent out bicycles or tricycles or little boats. Or basically a lot of fun stuff. And it’s so well kept.

Quiet and serene even though it’s right off the freeway. A nice walk in the shade and trees with squirrels, ducks, geese and turtles. Lots of ponds with fishing. Washroom facilities near the baseball diamonds.

Amazing NASCAR Experience!!!The NASCAR Racing Experience is one of the best NASCAR schools in America! For anyone who wants speed and thrills, come to this experience! The team is really awesome and nice, and the drivers are great! And the experience itself is really awesome!! For anyone who wants speed, come to this experience! It’s a ton of fun!

The roar of the engines is defending and the gush of wind that follows is tremendous while more than you can count race cars go flying across the track at 180, 190+ mph miles per hr. It's hardcore entertainment.

Have you ever dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a real NASCAR race car? Well, believe it or not, this is a dream that can come true with a visit to the Richard Petty Driving Experience in nearby Fontana.During this incredible experience, you’ll drive an authentic NASCAR race car. These cars have been driven by NASCAR greats, and you never know, you may end up driving one that was driven by one of your racing heroes.

So much fun

They asked us to arrive 25 minutes ahead of time & we ended up waiting 2.5 hours

Never go here. Horrendous service with shady last minute cancellations and no refunds. Crazy that a place like this is allowed to operate a business.

They took out the drag strip

It is a hit and miss - I had a friend that liked his tour. But, for me, it was unforgettable in a bad way. I went to the tour in 2016.The tour guide (I wish I remember his name, but he can be seen in one of the pics, wearing a olive green shirt) was terrible! It looked like he hated that job, or he was replacing someone else. There is a wall with some historic guitars (including some early days Fenders), he didn't allow us to stop and see it. He was constantly ironic, sometimes impolite at people. He mocked my accent (I'm Brazilian) in front of people when I asked a question. He was rushing people.Despite that, I saw a Limited Edition guitar what was about to be launched and I asked if I could buy that guitar. But the purchase experience (with the same guy) wasn't nice, so I gave up.Also, when you enter the main tour hall, there is the ModShop room (place where you can assemble your own guitar, putting different parts together) and the professional on the charge of that room was also rude.Factory-wise: it's just a factory. Nothing different from other regular guitar factories. The pics I'm posting here can prove my point.Something good: at that time, there was a room with most guitar amps made by Fender, and anyone could give them a spin. On the other hand, there wasn't a lot of guitars to be played.Anyway, I used to be a Fender fanboy when I was a kid, and that tour was the last straw, shaking my relationship with the brand. This is my experience and I wish I had written it immediately after my visit.PS: the smile in one of the pics was taken before the tour, when I arrived at the facility.

Drove all the way from San Diego, Visitor Center closed. They should have listed it on their website CLEARLY. WE ARE CLOSED DUE TO COVID !!! The security guard that met us at the entrance said “I keep telling Maria to change that “ Very inconsiderate

My 2015 Fender American Standard Stratocaster (olympic white) has aged nicely, however the polyurethane paint is starting to show through and I can clearly see that it has 4 pieces of wood glued together. IS THIS WHAT FENDER HAS BECOME??? Anyway it looks terrible, not the quality you would expect from Fender.

Even with covid restrictions lifted fender does not want the public to tour. I don't want to buy from them then. No where was it listed they are closed to the public and they don't offer a phone number to call.

Awesome! Amazing to see the dedication and hard work that goes into every guitar and amp.

When you see the craftsmanship, it is impressive. My fellow Americans should see made in America at work.

They are hiring.

Definitely a 10 fingers up👋🏻👋🏻. Big adrenaline rush you get out this place😱. They are very friendly, polite and helpful with the customers. Very knowledgeable about what they do. AWESOME TIME 💯, fun experience definitely recommend you try this out. 👏👏👌

Staff was really friendly. Cars were nice. The experience is a little pricey. The VIP experience is not any thing extra special. Overall my son loved it as his graduation present. Us spectators, not so much. But it wasn't bad.

Overall a great experience. The track was fun and challenging and allows you to actually put these cars to the test. Going for extra laps on a cheaper car is definitely worth it.The instructor I was with was excellent and guaged my driving skill well. He didn't interfere much and let me really flog the car. (Had quite a few sliding moments but he didn't freak out or grab the wheel). After a few laps he was really able to tell where I made mistakes and as a result we got some fast times for the car I drove.Only possible complaints are that the bathrooms are just Porto potties and that it's still just a tent.Overall I would still highly recommend the experience, especially if you are at all into cars or racing.

Great staff the cars are everything you would expect and more. The instructors are great you'll enjoy hitting the gas with no fear of getting a speeding ticket.

Great place to bring your guy friend, brother, dad, uncle, cousin, bf, husband etc. Went there twice and the service was great. If you're more about driving rather than flash, I would recommend you rent the Porsche GT3 over the Lambo or Ferrari. It's a much more driver focused car and you can compete with the best of them in terms of lap times.

Warm sunny Friday, got time on the Cayman and McLaren. Only a Netflix movie crew to share the facility with

A lot of fun, but too many sharp corners to really enjoy the cars. I would like to see longer straights to get up to an overall higher speed and more sweeping corners that you can take at a higher speed.Also, I spent over $800 to drive three cars. Too much time standing around between drives for that price. Overall, a good experience though.

This is a great start for LA. While Vegas has the cream of the crop, I had to try this one as well. The track is bumpy, the tent is hot, and the video is low tech, but hey the manager is doing her best to make things great for us.We're driving/racing cars we wouldn't otherwise so WOW!! Forget the tent, track surface, and well upgrade the video to full 360' (new) tech and walla you have a day of memories you will never forget and watch again and again. Yes that is you at the wheel, is all I can say every time I enter a corner from 100+mph.It's definitely worth saving up a few bucks to flog a super car you would otherwise never lay your hands on, where in the world do others get to do that!Edit: I forgot to mention the instructors. A cool bunch of guys that help us go faster even though the dynamic of safety over watch is telling them to limit our rocket driving. This yields an internal conflict all in itself while we hurtle our super car at speeds that can only be described as beyond the confines of safe. Then you add the constant clear instruction or help that they must repeat over and over not only daily but each ride, again at race speed if you so choose. These guys aren't thanked enough for supporting BOTH sides of the ride experience: 1. Skilfully deliver the customer desire for insane speed and 2. Support the business owners request to keep the day running smooth without incidents. You can't get this one of a kind Rollercoaster without their sacrifice. Man, what a job though!

We visited Dana Point Harbor while we were staying at the Waldorf Astoria Resort. It was nice walking around the harbor, shopping, eating, and seeing a bunch of boats. There is a lovely park at the harbor as well, so we got to see a bunch of dogs while we were there which was fun. It was nice to see people out and about on water and on land. If you are looking for a nice place to walk around in Dana Point, the harbor is a great place to go.

Dana Point Harbor is a fantastic destination with charming shops and delightful dining options right by the bay. It's incredibly pet-friendly, with many dogs strolling around and even welcomed at the restaurants. It's an excellent spot to spend some time before heading to the beach.

If you want to have breakfast with beautiful seals at the weekend, Dana Point Harbor is the best location!

This place is amazing. paddle board , kayak rentals available and pretty other water sports.Tandem paddling or kayak available etc. docking station is great. It’s great for a walk across the docking area and the restaurant. Amazing ocean view. Nice restaurant area as well.

Fantastic place to watch sunrise and or sunset. Take a Walk, get a cup of coffee and enjoy ☺️

It was a wonderful day. We sat in an area with a canopy, picnic table and benches. We were very close to the channel. We saw sailboats and people using paddle boards. Beautiful area and very relaxing. This area also has lots of wonderful walkways.

Dana Point Harbor is beautiful with guest slips if you plan ahead. If you are looking to buy or sell a yacht please contact me Ian Van Tuyl at anytime day or night.

AVOID this location, lots of CONSTRUCTION. There is very little parking and more and more of the SPOTS are being taken away for construction. Area residents with boats jostle with restaurant visitors. This project EXPECTED too LAST Year's.

We love spending an afternoon here. Stroll with the pups, grab a bite to eat and take in the views! Especially beautiful during the holidays when it is decorated and lit.

Super laid back and beautiful place to walk and look at boats. Many people bring dogs. We love it here!

Nice place to wonder and admire the boats but also to have a nice relaxing lunch. It seems like a great place to walk your dog as well. I took the ferry there to the Catalina island and it was an easy place to get around

Dana point Harbor has a lot to offer you can walk around and there are lots of shops and restaurants and the beach,

One of the most beautiful places to be- especially during 4th of July Boat Wars🛥️🔫💦

I LOVE LOVE this whole place. I come here at least twice a week. I love sitting by the park with plenty of spots and enough parking. I paddle board when I’m not sitting watching the boats from land. I walk along the path watching all the boats and others on kayaks and boats. I love the restaurants and the views and the overall energy of this place!

The harbor offers free parking, a variety of eateries and restaurants, as well as a perfect spot to watch the boats set sail from. The harbor has an expansive view of the ocean on one side and grassland on the other for those who want to picnic or relax with their family. we really enjoyed kicking back and watching the paddle boarders and boats heading out for a day of fishing

Ahoy, landlubbers! Dana Point Harbor is the crown jewel of the California coast, where the sea calls to every sailor's heart. This gem of a harbor boasts pristine waters, friendly faces, and a dock full of adventures waiting to be had. Whether ye fancy a bit of whale watchin' or just a lazy day sailin' under the sun, this place has it all. The shops and eateries are as fine as a fresh sea breeze, but let’s be honest—once you’ve felt the salt on your skin and the wind in your hair, you’ll be itching to buy a boat and set sail for good. Don’t miss the chance to live the sailor’s dream—every soul belongs on the water, and Dana Point is where that dream begins!

Gorgeous Harbor! Great Restaurants! Chart House has very nice views as you dine of entire harbour. Plenty of parks to picnic, and spend the day. Harbour is gorgeously decorated for Christmas & New Year every Year! A must see!

Have you been to Dana Point Harbor, especially during the Christmas holidays?It is the prettiest place for Christmas Decorations! Decorations are all over the Harbor, and you can ride to see them all, or just sit and enjoy them while walking, having a meal, or shopping. Most beautiful Christmas lights I have seen at holiday time. Take a look!

Nice breezy day at Dana point.

Dana Park is one of the best places to relax and enjoy the spectacular view. You can meditate here. I also love the weather. Unlike in Temecula or SD, the weather here is very nice. It was 77 when I came here with my family compared to 89 to 90s in SD county. It is very peaceful here. The water is soo clean and crystal clear. The people are nice. It's close to supermarket and restaurants. Above all else, there are so much to do like paddling and riding on a boat. You can buy your own mini boat here. I'm not really family with boats and all but I know you can park yours there and just pay. It is very nice there. It is open to public. We used the back road so we saw the beautiful nature. You will drive up the hill and you can see the spectacular view from above. The landscape was wonderful. Just drive up there and I'm sure you're not going to regret. It's worth the time. It is not very expensive also. You can just buy food and bring it on the table beside the sea. Enjoy! Just make sure you clean up after yourselves to maintain the clean surrounding.

Doheny is a wonderful beach, especially for surfing, camping, grilling, or just hanging out for the day.To begin, the parking is easy and close to the beach<100 ft. Additionally, the parking lot is the same altitude as the beach. Which after a long day in the sun and ocean makes the trek back to your vehicle or public transit quite easy.The beach itself is pretty solid, but, quite riddled with natural sediment. Think bigger rocks, thicker sand, larger pieces of drift wood. You can get away with using a towel to lay down, but, I would strongly suggest bringing a beach mat (like a banig.)Getting to the ocean is easy, I certainly suggest bringing water shoes though. The ocean itself has quite large rocks for the first 150-200 ft. that can really wreak havoc on your toes/feet.Once you are out there, though, it is great-serene and relaxing. It can get a little overcrowded at times, but, the ocean is big enough for everyone.As for the facilities, there are easily accessible bathrooms and outdoor showers, grills next to the picnic tables, and a little food area that has ice cream, water, snacks, and beer. New good options are forthcoming.Overall, a wonderful time with great access and amenities.

I love this place. It may not have the best beaches, but you can enjoy the beauty of California without being elbow to elbow with throngs of people. Please don’t go here! I want to keep it special.

We had a delightful afternoon here! It’s usually busier on weekends, but it’s the perfect spot for surfing enthusiasts. Bring your own surfboard and create an awesome weekend experience at this cozy, clean place with large parking areas. It’s an excellent spot for a family outing! There’s also plenty of space for beach volleyball, so don’t forget to bring a volleyball!

Great place for picnics - families or functions. They have tons of tables and bar-b-q's and a large park. They also have a volleyball setup on the beach and sorted bike rentals.

I would have enjoyed going into the ocean but unfortunately they're way to many rocks on the beach ⛱️ it's very difficult if you don't have water shoes, and i still think that would help much. The campsites are very close to one another. It would be nice if they were spaced a little more, you literally feel like a packed sardine. Carlsbad in my opinion is a much better campsite .

My husband and I celebrated our 37th anniversary at Dana Point. Doheny state beach was beautiful. It wasn't crowded and it was very clean. We stayed at the Double tree across the street from the beach. We were able to walk across the street and into the state beach are. The wal took less than 3 minutes.

We had a blast at the beautiful beach! 🏖️ The only downside was the abundance of rocks that could hurt your feet. 👣 But the beautiful mornings were perfect for a walk at 6 am. 🌅 They also have a lovely park, so bring your soccer ball and enjoy a game! ⚽️ #BeachVibes #MorningWalk #ParkLife

It's a small campground. No hookups. It's clean and convenient. The trains are close, but not to loud. There are bathrooms. Warm showers require a token. The beach is clean. Not very many shells. We are here in January, and the weather is great. The kids are even playing in the water.

Very nice beach. Went on a day when tide was changing so waves were bigger. Bathrooms were clean and cafe serves reasonably priced food. I would go back there again for sure. The only thing is to pay for parking it’s via app only so keep in mind if you are old school, you have to download an app and navigate it in order to pick the right option to pay wether it’s “day lot” or “hourly lot”.

It’s the to go beach like always very clean and there’s tables and grills to cook restrooms are a bit far depending which en you are they are in the middle but other than that very nice beach nothing exiting

It's always a pleasure to walk around smell all the cookouts,enjoy watching the surfers, having grass and sand and Doho restaurant to stop and get a little something to eat or drink beautiful shelters set up for large party's, volleyball section and plenty of fun things to rent to enjoy your experience

I grew up in orange county back when there were still trains running veges across the 5 Fwy. In all my time I'd never visited Doheny, except for the Beach Road access. Today a patient and myself visited the main beach and was I ever blown away. The way it's laid out really reminded me of north OC beaches and LA. Just a great place to sit and see the waves, surfer's and, occasional fishing trolly heading out to sea. I assure you, visit and if not impressed or happy I'll give you a number to refund (1-800-OC-Rocks). Seriously tho come visit, check out the DoHo Cafe and just enjoy the splendor of the OC Lifestyle.

Wide sandy beach with long, mellow surf breaks for all beginner surfers to enjoy.Downside is the parking payment system: your options are 1 hour, 2 hours or all day. Only $6 difference between 2 hours and all day. Wacky.

We camped 2 nights. It is really close to the beach, the front spaces are right on the sand. The restroom and showers are clean. Two reasons why I am not sure if I will camp here again . The beach is extremely rocky and there are rats that scurry everywhere at night. If they doesn't bother you, this is a great location.

We visited this place to walk with our dog , parking is $20 dlls for all day parking if u traveling in a rv u ok up to 22 fts rv … i saw bigger o in the parking … not sure if they enforcement the size in a rig …also there is parking before u enter to this place wich is only $ 1 dlls por hour…wich I think is great …if u chose to park inside the beach park is $ 7 dlls por hour …great place to spend the whole day , there is a bicycle rental, there is also a surfboard rental, lot of tables for pick nick or big groups or parties….so this beach is one of mi favorites ,, hope u visit soon … and be careful with the parking the citation on this area in general is serious Bussines…So pay your parking 😀,

I wasn't too impressed with this beach. It was the first time I've been here and definitely did not like the sand. All I can say is wear sandals or water shoes. And parking is $20 for all day or $7 per hour. I don't believe I've ever paid that much for parking.

This is an excellent beach to stay surfing on for the cliche California experience. Your will hear people blasting the beach boys, others riding their bikes or rollerblading along with lines of surfers in the water at ask times of day. It is a South facing beach meaning the sun sets over land most of the year making for nice pictures and that protects you from the wind to a degree as well

Pay entry fee online, clean beach (little litter like a crushed coke can and lots of seaweeds), lots of people playing volleyball on 🏐 courts, many 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 🏄‍♀️ hang out mostly near Second Spot, which is just a bit morth of the Main Lifeguard Tower (saw one lifeguard on duty as he picked up the orange traffic cones off of Thor's Hammer (embankment from the San Juan Creek). Very family friendly, recommend jacket cuz of wind from ocean.On the north portion of Doheny State Beach (DSB), there are many picnic tables, many trashcans, along with a fairly big patch of green grass that we walked around the bike path to avoid stepping on the beautiful lawn. There are horseshoe tosses, too! Many electric bikes roamed past us and onto sandy beach. Only service dogs are allowed, must be on leash, and attended by an adult.There were RVs in the north parking lot. Little internet research showed that DSB has no electric or water connections, hence a "dry" camping ground. There is a snack bar called Doho Cafe that you can also order your food and drinks online (see photo). You can also rent bikes and work together to get to all parts of the park.Restroom has open skylight, very clean, has what seems to be shower stalls, but no shower heads (so, dressing room?). There is a shower head outside of the restroom to wash sand off of your feet.Would visit again during the off-season! Enjoy!

Love this beach... I'm there every week... been surfing it for almost 20 years. Great California beach.... bathrooms are always clean. Absolutely recommend!

This is a very nice park to end a bike ride t or go to via driving. There is a fee for drivers through. I only visited where San Juan Creek met the ocean.

Easy to get to, level sites. The beach is right there, and the campground is not a parking lot! Beautiful views, fabulous sunsets.Restrooms and showers were clean. Some spots are quite shallow, so be honest about the size of your rig.

Wonderful campground with fenced off area, easy access to the beach, friendly staff and bathrooms and showers. Would recommend.

It was a great group campsite for our families of 20 people. Right next to a nice sandy beach. It had a semi-private shower / wash station for when you come up out of the ocean, plenty of picnic tables, and a water spicket/ washing station close by. I Would recommend it for a large group that likes tent camping.

Beautiful clean beach. You can even make barbecue and it's open till evening. Plenty of things to enjoy either you want to have a picnic or get on the beach and enjoy some tan.

The park is great. Beach is comfortable. Be careful - this is a state park. There is a $20 fee to park. It is easy to miss this and park without paying. Fines are steep.

The areas around the beach are very nice. The snack shack has a great variety of food but is a little pricey. The rentals are diverse and reasonably priced. There are natural tide pools and beginners surfing waves but I do wish there was less kelp and driftwood on the shore.

Very cute little cafe on the boardwalk friendly and helpful. Public access to nice little fire rings if it's to cold or you need to warm up. Clean public restrooms available just a short walk up to the strand. Bicycles, two seaters, some really cool 4 × road bikes and 3 wheelers available to rent next to the Doheny cafe. Decent waves on most days 2 - 3 ft.

Love this place. Camping on the beach! Yes please!!! Amazing place with that old school vibe.

Visited here on a Full moon night, during summer. It was beautiful. Good parking. Great Place to have group picnics

I was completely blown away by the beauty and the history of this mission. What also impressed me is that the facility still plays an active role in serving their community, gardening for their food pantry. Missions have a complicated history with the indigenous peoples of the Americas but I noticed that there was special attention taken to acknowledge the sacredness of their culture as well as the Catholic faith. Another interesting part of the mission what the generous donation given by a local Jewish couple to restore some of the artwork. There’s a definite feeling of community beyond one set religion and it provided a welcoming environment for all. Oh, and it’s absolutely beautiful was well. A must see.

Always a great place to visit. Audio tour free with admission. Easy to use device. I've been visiting for probably 50 years and I learned a lot of new info by using the audio tour. New exhibits since the last time I visited. Cute area around mission also with shops and places to eat.

Stunning historial site to visit and book for photo sessions as well ($50-80 per hour). The grounds are meticulously kept, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! The surrounding Los Rios neighborhood and restaurants are worth visiting, too.

Beautiful well kept grounds and gardens to wander as you enjoy the mission. Some ruins among other areas which have been restored. Plenty of history to these grounds…enjoy!

We drove up from San Diego for the day and visited the mission. We were able to find free parking on the street, paid our $18 per person entrance fee, and walked around the grounds. It's beautiful, especially on a sunny day. Lots of beautiful photo spots. We chose not to take the free audio devices - we just followed the map and strolled around for about an hour. There are multiple restrooms inside and a gift shop. They were removing the Christmas decorations the day we visited (January 2), so if you want to see it decorated, go before the New Year.

Very beautiful place with lots of Great Mission History and beautiful gardens. The audio tour is very informative and enjoyable. The mission has plenty of walking trails and places to sit and rest if needed. Every where you look it's a view. Very clean and peaceful. Parking is a little tricky as you have to park in the street. Can't forget the gift shop they have something for everyone. Enjoy!

Beautiful place to visit for some history. I love the audio option as you walk through the mission. The garden area is beautiful and such an awesome scenery to take it. The church is amazing and there’s plenty to see when coming here

Was recommended to visit, so I took a trip. I don't think they have a designated parking lot, but the street parking wasn't far, so it was okay. The weather was great, and inside the mansion was pretty enough to visit more than a time. (I got the yearly membership, which was less than two visit's price, and they gave me free fish food, so that my kids can enjoy feeding the bit coy fishes, in two different ponds). I recommend the membership, if you go there! I will definitely go there next time! The town, garden, inside gallery, and historical museums are worth visit.

May just might be the ultimate month to visit. It was not hot or cold and there were millions of things in bloom. As far as the eye could see, there was delight, architecture, butterflies, children, brides and grooms families, beauty. Parking was very challenging, especially with a special needs child and an elder. Plan ahead and find parking before you visit this town. If your elder is not able to walk much, there are benches everywhere. But if it's a hot day, bring an umbrella for shade for this elder. There was people of all ages enjoying this historical site. The staff were fantastic and knowledgeable and very protective of the mission, not even letting the children put their fingers in the koi pond. We appreciate it. This level of commitment. The gift shop is gorgeous and full of wonderful things to bring back to friends and family. The town is full of restaurants but get a reservation ahead of time to save on dragging elders and little children around when they're fatigued. We noticed the street parking was for 5 hours which is probably enough for a family to scout around the mission, which is way too much for little children to take in in one day, but plenty of things to fascinate them at the same time. There is an art gallery inside, there's the soldiers barracks which kids love, there's an active Catholic chapel which deserves quiet, respect and modest clothing, there are the gardens and the ruins and the list goes on. Can't say enough good about this wonderful historical spot. Be sure to get your digital tour that you hang around your neck and listen to as it's very informative and not burden some in terms of length of listening which worked well for the children. Happy family memories are made at San Juan Capistrano.

I recently visited Mission San Juan Capistrano and I have to say, it was a truly magical experience. This landmark is a true gem, with so many amazing things to see and do. The chapel is absolutely stunning and I was in awe of the beautiful artwork and architecture. The museum was also fascinating, with so much history to learn about. And the gardens were simply breathtaking, with so many vibrant colors and beautiful flowers. I highly recommend visiting Mission San Juan Capistrano if you get the chance – it's a must-see destination for anyone who loves history, art, or nature.

What a beautiful setting full of History and a great testament to the early Missionaries. There is the new and preservation of the old. Very dedicated personal work at the Mission San Juan Capistrano location. They explain the past very well. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Nice shopping also nearby. Easy access via the train from Los Angeles or San Diego Amtrak or Metro Link.

What a beautiful place! Our first time visiting and we enjoyed it! It was a hot day but love that they provide umbrellas to protect us from the sun! Bathrooms were clean! The audio tour was very informative! They had English audio for us and Spanish audio for my mom!

Beautiful historic site which is explains the history of the Mission in Orange County. Has a beautiful chapel inside. Free audio guide included with admission. Has several exhibitions on different things: treasures, the mission’s operations history, different historic living quarters, etc. there is a gift shop as well that sells various religious things. While the site mentions the Native Americans who built the place, not much else is discussed about them, which is kind of annoying. I wish they would have included more recent scholarships on how the arrival of the Mission from Europe and other places affected the local Native American populations, both the positive and the negative. I also wish they dedicate a section/two of the place for the Native Americans who built this place. Aside from that they have a room on St. Junipero Serra which contains historical info about his life and ministries.

What a wonderful place to spend a few hours enjoying a historical sight. The entire site is beautiful with a fascinating array of plants. I felt like I went back in time and could easily imagine those who built and invested their lives in Mission San Juan Capistrano. The audio commentary is excellent and simple to use. There is a serenity to this place that is palpable. I will definitely go back and take others who

This is a great take to take the family to take the family, and it's easy to spend at least a couple of hours experiencing a piece of California history. This location is famous for the annual return of the swallows on the celebration of St. Joseph on March 19.Buying tickets in advance is convenient, but if you are active duty military or a veteran, I advise buying tickets in person so you can take advantage of the $1 discount on tickets. Adults are normally $18 for admission as of the time of this review and $10 for youth (5-17). If you are military (active duty or veteran), visiting on certain holidays is free such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, etc. There are also events such as concerts and civic celebrations that occur all year, so if you are a local to Southern California I would consider getting a membership as you can visit all year for free, and the passes are not linked to an individual, so if you have family or friends visiting, you can have them use the passes as well.The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and your admission includes an audio tour that consists of a hand set that has recorded descriptions and backgrounds of various locations on the mission grounds. The two large fountains also have koi and smaller guppies. The chapel on the mission grounds is very beautiful for a small worship space, and it is amazing how much history is here. The gift shop is located at the exit and has many religious articles for sale as well as general souvenirs.Definitely recommended as a place to visit and experience, especially with the family. My 8 year old normally isn't interested about historical locations but thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audio tour descriptions and feeding the koi. Not many places can do that, and any place that does is special.

Quiet and peaceful visit. Audio tour is rich in historical detail. So much to see, plan for at least 1 hour. If you have time, the visit could be 2-3 hours if you really take your time and take it all in. The chapel is amazing.

The best preserved mission we have visited! Such a wealth of information. Plan on spending at least two hours here during your visit to Old San Juan Capistrano. Tons of elementary students here during the week, so plan accordingly. Plenty of parking in the two lots nearby.

Such a beautiful historic site. You can get the audio tour *easy to use* , the history is so rich. The cathedral is very serene. We saw many photographers taking pictures of couples for special occasions, makes for a great background.

This was a wonderful experience. Got to see the great build and learn about the history this was a great day trip from los angeles. Treasure Island Beach is nearby too. You can also walk around Rio street to see the train pass. Overall a cute little getaway

Beautiful historical site in San Juan. Well worth the visit. Have the audio guide very comprehensive. Take a sheet of photos identify the flora in the gardens. Gift shop well stocked and relatively priced. There’s a small chapel inside and you can light a candle. There’s sometimes a basket of free citrus fruits from the trees in the gardens. Take water with you. There’s nice places to sit and chill too. Very relaxed inviting place. Park round the corner for free parking on a weekday and then walk down to the station for more little shops and history.

nice historical meaningful place . It is preserved pretty well. Has an audio tour option as well . Also has alot of flowers and butterflies freely roaming . Very beautiful place !

Big and beautiful mission with amazing gardens! The number and variety of plants in the garden is astonishing. If you like plants, flowers, cactus and more, you’ll be really happy here. I could have spent the day just in the garden. The mission ruins are well preserved, there is lots to see in the museum. The place was crowded with children on school tours. It is accessible, with wide paths and lots of nooks and crannies to stop and rest. There is an amazing gift shop, clean bathrooms. Parking was challenging, but there are parking spaces behind the mission.

Came to watch the festivities on Swallows day. Rich in History. The volunteers and people were really nice. The grounds are in good shape. All kinds of friendly, nice people. Hope to be back next year

A pleasant surprise and getaway from urban life that’s conveniently located and well-maintained. There is a tranquil atmosphere that is not lost amidst the sounds of preservation work and visitors touring the grounds. It is a noticeable effect that I found to be quite therapeutic.I appreciated most the exhibits of art and Native American life, as well as the grand ruins of the Great Church.I highly recommend!

Visited on St. Joseph's day. This is the day the swallows return to Capistrano. It was also the first day of spring. Program for today included mariachi, school kids, storytellers and more. Beautiful temperate day. Plenty to look at, spring flowers in bloom. In spite of this being one of the busiest days at this mission, there were still places to find a quiet place to reflect. I spotted other artists besides myself, painting on-site. Visited by tourists and locals alike.

This beautifully maintained Mission is well worth the stop in San Juan Capistrano. There are many exhibits to see. Recommend the audio tour to get a full experience. I came at the beginning of May and the flowers were in full bloom!

An amazing place. The grounds are very well maintained. Beautiful garden! When we were there several school groups were touring. The Staff appeared to do a great job hosting. The Audio Tour is informative. Available parking along the street can be difficult. There are some good restaurants close by. The surrounding area is clean. A once in a lifetime opportunity.

If you want to support the conservation efforts of California's rich history, this would be a great stop. I didn't know that there are several of them across the state. This was a lovely stop during our staycation. They did a phenomenal job with the restoration. It's a good source of education for all of us. I loved seeing the kids do their video reports explaining what they have learned during their visit.I also like the garden and how peaceful it is. They give discounts to Active Duty and Veterans.

What an inexpensive, intellectually stimulating and historically significant way to spend a few hours. Great for the curious and for families. So much of the original mission is still intact and accessible for you to experience.They provide a free audio tour, which allows you to meander around the grounds and visit what you find interesting.

Very peaceful and reverent place. Relaxing learning about the history of the mission and what it was like. The hand held audio recording things were very interesting and well done. We paid over $80 to get in with 4 adults and one child and we felt it was well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in learning about the history of the area.

Beautiful, historic mission. The grounds were lovely, and the various displays and rooms were interesting. Items were labeled and the purposes were explained well. The selection of art was stunning! Nice gift shop with a good selection of sacred and secular items.

Wonderful place to visit and well worth the entrance fee. We spent over an hour exploring the grounds and buildings, and enjoyed the audio tour on our visit, learning about the mission and its people. It was a soggy day when we visited and they kindly provide umbrellas so you can still tour the outside areas.

About a 2.5hr Metrolink from LA, Mission in San Juan Capistrano is the perfect day trip for my grandma and I. It was a beautiful Tuesday spring day and all the flowers and trees inside were in full bloom. I have been to so many gardens but this one was quite unexpected and really something else. The museums were also a great way to get to know the rich history of the Mission. We spent about 3 hours casually strolling around. It's great for seniors since it is very accessible. Lots of places to walk, sit and rest. I cannot wait to be back! This is a must visit when in California 🌴

Beautiful place with lots of history! I found the audio tour enjoyable, both adult & kid versions. Worth the price, there's plenty to see. There is no connected parking lot. Street parking was pretty full even at 10AM on Saturday. There are some small paid lots around.

Both interesting and educational. We spent about 3 hours there. We took the self-guided audio tour. Beautiful old buildings I've been restored. Lovely gardens in the courtyard, although the tour is very clear that historically the courtyard was used for more practical matters.Nice gift shop with a variety of items both secular and religious. Pleasant and courteous staff. We both found it very interesting and thought of a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon.Outside of the mission there are many many restaurants, a tourist shop with authentic native American jewelry, and an antique store with numerous vendors.Admission fee was reasonable.

A nice trail to walk, look out over the ocean and get some fresh air. It's a great place to walk your dog, with well defined trails and nice flowering succulents along the sides of the path. The trail offers a few areas where you can cross the train tracks and enjoy the beach. Be careful and aware while walking because at times bicycles can move up on you rapidly attempting to pass.I like to park at the North Beach parking lot, although it can feel a bit sketchy at times. From there, you can head south, enjoy a nice walk to the pier, restaurant and shopping area. The eateries offer some outside dining, where you can enjoy a meal near the fresh ocean air.It's definitely a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon. You can get a little exercise, take some photos and enjoy a view of the coastline.

Every time I walk on this beach trail I stop at the lovely bench near Lost Winds and look out at Seal Rock directly in front of me and I give thanks to the people who who worked to create this trail. The views are absolutely gorgeous. People are walking, running enjoying the trail.

Nice flat terrain and parallel to the beach, there is a bridge that's closed due to a landslide that means you either have to turn around or hope it's low enough tide that you can make a run for it between the rocks and the ocean!

This place is absolutely beautiful!! There are fire pits also, which is really nice! The trail is well kept and we had a wonderful afternoon here.

Fantastic!!! A California dream🏝☀️Waves & surfers 🏄‍♂️🌊.Gorgeous sunset! Perfect place for fun,walking,swimming in the Pacific Ocean.At the end of the trail enjoy the good seafood cooked in the restaurants around.I went there many times and i had fun and relax always. Highly recommended 🤙hang loose⭐

Walk the shoreline, enjoy the sounds, the gentle crashing of the waves, the beautiful rocks, like treasures. Clean up after your leashed dogs. Feel safe. *one thing however, there are several homeless people camping out...not aggressive.

The stairs are steep but a great workout. The trail is a great place for a walk, but no dogs are allowed on the beach. So we enjoyed the ocean from the trail.

Nice place to walk and runThe beach is not my favourite

One of the great walks of the world. Great ocean views, easy, not crowded, and access to restaurants and shops. Today I saw dolphins 30 yards offshore.

Me and my family had a great time here, parking took awhile but it was worth it. 2 hours was roughly $2.50 I believe. Had a restaurant right on the trail which was super cool we got an açaí bowl, it was good. Lots of surfers which was fun seeing them shred. Definitely recommend stopping by!

Super easy trail right on the sand! Accessible to all who goes! Only thing is paying for parking on the curb.There is also a small cafe/lunch shop right on the sand with plenty of outdoor dining.

Fabulous morning at the Pier in San Clemente.

The trail is closed at the El Portal stairs. A landslide has again made the raised "bridge" section of the trail unsafe.. At low tide you can go along the beach from Linda Lane to the staircase. Rather than park at North Beach, park at Linda Lane and go South. Or, park at San Clemente State Park and go north to the closure. You can also climb the steps to get around, but that puts you in one of San Clemente's most confusing residential street lay outs.

Beautiful place. Full of history. Full of Hero’s. I understand this place has 320,000 veterans resting here with capacity to hold 2 million. Their Medal of Honor Memorial is simple and very humbling. The names of every Medal of Honor recipient etched into their marble walls. My uncles name is on the wall and my father and father in law are buried here. This place is humbling. The aircraft from March Air Force Base next door fly over this place and adds to the pageantry. When the flags are placed on all the grave sites on Veterans Day, it is a site to behold. I get overwhelmed with the feeling of pride. There is history here everyone should visit and experience regardless of having family placed here or not. I hope you will visit.On weekdays there is plenty of help and the place is well organized. They have a 6 staging areas for services. The guard at the guard shack will direct you. BUT, On the weekends the offices are closed. If you don’t know where the gravesite is you are visiting, the best bet is to go to the offices. They will be closed but there is a kiosk next to the front entrance that can direct you to the gravesite. They will direct you to a “section”. But the sections are not clearly market out. And It is a large place so patience is a nessesary. After you find out the section you Then download a map on your phone from the official website to find the area. I have run across a few people who were frustrated trying to find their family grave sites. So try to find out all the information you can before you get there on the weekends. Or best bet is to plan on going during the week when the offices are open. Good luck.

This is a beautiful cemetery. Everyone that works there are kind and truly care about you and your loved one that is put to rest. They are very compassionate throughout the entire process. It is a very peaceful place now that I go back frequently to visit both my parents who have passed away.

The Riverside National Cemetary,located in Riverside, California is a terrific visit for the family,patriots,families and tourists to the area!Riverside National cemetery is home of the Medal of Honor Memorial and one of four sites recognized as a National Medal of Honor Memorial Site. The Medal of Honor Memorial, whose walls feature the names of all medal recipients, is located at the third traffic circle in the cemetery. It was dedicated in 1999.The Fallen Soldier/Veterans' Memorial, erected in 2000, is dedicated to all service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The dramatic bronze structure topped by a lifeless soldier is located near the lake at the entrance to the cemetery.#riverside #riversidenationalcemetery #usa #fallensoldiers #seetheusa #historic #airforce #army #coastgaurd #navy #marines #spaceforce #redwhiteandblue#medalofhonor #militarycemetery

Cemetary is always kept in pristine condition. Staff are very helpful with supplying data they have available. More info on burial permits, larger list of pastors and local florist familiar with funeral set up/ time lines would have been of great assistance. Van Buren florist offered no miltary discount & much higher priced than other local florist. We went through Willow Branch Florist on Indiana Ave flowers were fresh excellent ontimarrangement.flowers

What a lovely cemetery with ponds, trees, ducks and wildlife. It is an honorable resting place for those who have served our great nation as well as their spouses.People please be respectful and keep your dogs in your car, it is disgraceful to see someone’s pet doing their “business” on American soldiers plots 😡.It is kept up by volunteers and they generally have served as well so as please just be courteous and respectful to all 🥰

I love this place. It is a beautiful place to be buried and my oarents are both there. They have various events during the year. If you are looking for a grave my suggestion is you do it online, before you go, because internet is not very good in there. They have a computer look up system, but sometimes it is.

We laid my fiancé’s grandfather to rest here and everything turned out beautiful. The military honor ceremony was so nice. The TAPS music playing, the gun salute with rifles and all the small details were just what we needed to say our final goodbye and pay our respects to our proud veteran. The staff was all very kind as well.

Beautiful place horrible service!! They disrespected my loved one too the fullest. The services were rushed, lasted 15 min at most and was rudely interrupted by one of their workers!! Our party got separated by the workers and we didn't even get to say a proper goodbye. I've never been to a funeral that was handled so poorly. Heather who was a point person was all over the place and rude. When we asked her what just happened and why did we get separated she simply said, pin your location and have your siblings come to the grave site. I informed her that they didn't have their phone on since it was our father's funeral and she said, well you can walk to go get them. Then she said, I have another service to get to so if you have any questions you can email me.. I emailed them to complain and of course I never got a response. Horrible service

Large and well maintained national cemetery. Bring your outdoor shoes, as the grass is thick and thoroughly watered. Tremendous to see the many veterans laid to rest, and to reflect on their contributions to our nation. Thank you, S1 Severson, for your contribution in WWII.

Always so clean and peaceful. There's a question on the survey asking about purchasing tickets. It's a cemetery you don't need to purchase tickets to visit loved ones.

This national cemetery is quite beautiful. They host a concert for heroes on the 4th of July. They also have the medal of honor memorial. It's a very peaceful place to visit.

BeautifulVery scenic and scerene

Thank you for allowing these wonderful people to ride through and honor our heroes.***Updated*** On my recent visit, I noticed this new statue that will be installed. Absolutely beautiful. It's a shame that funds are still being raised for the installation.

Came to visit on Memorial Day, looks so nice. Arrived early so there was no wait to enter, but to exit it was 10min wait to leave.

Subject Guardmen folding flag detail is a sloppy disrespectmy dad's flag had seven stars showing where should only be five.1. Army2. Navy3. Marine Corps4. Air Force5. Coast GuardEach star symbolizes the collective honor and respect for the service members from these branches.**In Reverence and Duty**At Riverside's hallowed grounds, beneath the solemn skies,A ceremony unfolds where quiet honor lies.My father, laid to rest, beneath the flag so dear,Yet the folds that draped his memory were marred by errors clear.Two soldiers, tasked with care, their duty worn but true,Yet in the folds they faltered, their reverence overdue.Seven stars revealed where five should rightly stand,A flag not folded true, but held by clumsy hand.My son, Fort Myers, a sentinel proud, from Arlington's esteemed guard,Saw the lapse in honor, felt the sting, though hard.In the midst of grief and tears, he stepped with graceful might,To teach with gentle firmness, to correct and set things right.We took the flag in hand, with careful, loving grace,And in the corner of their sight, we found our rightful place.As each fold met its purpose, my son’s words rang clear,Reciting the sacred meaning, Each of the 13 folds why we must never forget, bringing honor near. The ceremony moved forward, as prayers did softly blend,Yet in that fleeting moment, my heart did comprehend.The flag now folded true, with stars aligned so right,Became a symbol of respect, shining in the night.A moment etched in memory, of duty and of pride,Where father’s legacy was honored, and tears were softly dried.With every fold completed, and each star seen anew,A tribute to my father, and to the sacred truth.

I had the honor to help in the production of the Memorial Day Service at Riverside National Cemetery this year. It was such a privilege to have a small part in honoring our vets.This National Cemetery is a very respectful way to honor vets and their spouses. Seeing the 300,000 plus flags on the graves was a graphic reminder of the sacrifice of so many for our freedom. Freedom isn't free. Many paid a great price, many their lives, for my freedom and your freedom.The older I get the more I understand the importance of this sacrifice and a small "Thank you" or a day to help in a memorial service, feels like so little. To the Vets: your service is so valuable to so many. Thank you for you deep sacrifice.

I was so embarrassed when they ask me to sign where my husband was lay to rest, which it was in the same gave his first wife is buried. And than Riverside noted he will now be with his love of his life. And the tomb stone will read Tony and his wife name. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't done with friends present. Now it is being talk about.

We came to visit and teach our children about Memorial Day. This cemetery is vast and beautiful. I have learned that the Riverside National Cementary is the largest of all in the United States. So many stories one can learn from reading the several placards scattered throughout the cementary. Even on a busy day like today you can find areas of tranquility. The memorial to the medal of honor soldiers is a sight to see. I would recommend good walking shoes and parking at the entrance off Van Buren. I was told inside the administration office there are several war artifacts however it was closed due to Covid policy.

This area is wonderful because it's a great idea to go for letting their feelings out for the respect of fallen soldiers and retired armies (all branches) and their family members who served to fight for our freedom! We'll always be coming back to visit! It's definitely recommended!

The last stop for the Elite Military service. May their souls rest in peace. Decent place with excellent service for them men and woman who have served our country.

It is a beautiful cemetery with fountains and ponds. The grass is spectacularly green.

My Father-In-Law (Albert) passed in 2009 and was laid to rest at this beautiful quiet and warm cemetery. The staff assisted Tina's uncle and myself when making the arrangements for Albert and must say ... Was deeply IMPRESSED.

Very well maintained cemetery for veterans and families. Unfortunately recently electronic signs are not updated. Make sure you check at the entrance booth for current information. Open sunrise to sunset.

I just wanted to Thank You All as I just noticed the newly planted grass around my parents grave site, at 59 H Site 180, since I just had Flowers delivered there yesterday !!! I live in Las Vegas, Nevada so I don't get to visit that often & I really do love the beautiful upkeep of the grave sites. So Thank You All again !!! Beautiful Job, Clarice Buchholz/Seko.

Lovely landscaped cemetary. A nice option for a final resting place. Military funerals are conducted here. I heard a 21 gun salute taking place off in the distance followed by Taps.Memorable.

Very well maintained cemetery with a dedicated team to handle the 30-40+ services that go on routinely every day. They have a couple of restrooms on site, considering the size of this place, and they've always been clean. This is a busy cemetery. If you have a service scheduled here, you do not want to be late since there's most likely another service scheduled right after yours. That being said, target being there 15 min before your scheduled service, and you'll be good to go.

What an incredible experience. You don’t have to be aviation fan to enjoy this beautiful museum. Amazing technology created decades ago. You get to see the SR-71A Blackbird the worlds fastest aircraft up close. And the magnificent B-52 which is a monstrous aircraft. A very broad selection of fighter jets. There’s a lot to see at this museum so plan to take your time if you want to fully appreciate world class aviation.

March Field Air Museum was a fantastic surprise for me, as I just happened to be in the area for business. They have several dozen classic military aircraft on display, and many in the process of being restored - I actually got to see a technician working on an F-4 Phantom as well as an F-86. Any military aviation enthusiast will love this facility. It’s a little more rough around the edges than more major air museums, but I loved that about it. You can tell the museum is a passion project for those involved.

Having been to a bunch of aviation museums, including Dayton AFB, the USS Intrepid, and the Smithsonian, I would put this up there as one of the best.They're very well stocked with tons of cool aircraft, and the staff is really enthusiastic. Plus they're right next to an active airfield with F-35, F-16, F-18, and Predators. I wish I had more time and will definitely be going back next time I'm in the area.

I'm not an enthusiast of this stuff in any way, but enjoyed the heck out of this museum with the family! The place is bigger than you would think, tons of planes on display including ones you can get real close to seeing the cockpits of, and a ton of awesome pieces of history from various wars to NASA.Not only are there air force and army planes inside and displayed outside, but uniforms, guns, artwork, and other various pieces of history are there too. The scale of the planes outside are amazing to see up close as well. My 5 year old boy loved it but I think my wife and I loved it just as much.

This place is wonderful for the family. We loved every part of the exhibit. The museum is well curated and maintained. The vets working in there are amazing and kind. We had a very good time.

My family had an amazing time here! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable with first-hand experience. So much to do and see. Nice gift shop. A wonderful history lesson!! Just wish we had more time to stay. I would plan on spending at least 3 hours to see and do everything!

This museum is fantastic if you ever wanted to see the Blackbird (The 'top secret' fastest plane in the world) up close and personal this is the place to go. I suggest you do not use the coupons mentioned on the first page. Check picture number two with the admission prices.

March Field Air Museum was absolutely fantastic. Generally admission is $15 but Veterans get a discount. They have a gorgeous SR-71 inside with the canopy open so you can get a look inside the cockpit. Totally awesome. The flight line outside has a wonderful collection of aircraft from many decades of service. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and a joy to talk with while visiting the museum.

This place is amazing. Several items to look at and examine. Plane, helicopters, and much more to look through. I had a wonderful time walking from plane to plane. My husband explained a lot of different things pertaining to these vehicles. I never knew this museum was there. I'm so happy we found this gem.

If you live in socal, you owe it to yourself to visit March Field Air Museum and learn some history about such an important location that's been the home to some of the most famous aircraft in history. To live so close to such a historic place, it'd be a disrespect to our veterans and currently serving men and women not to visit. One of the coolest museums that I've ever been to where you can be within breathing distance of some of these iconic aircrafts. Oh and before I forget, yes they have dessert and they serve that as soon as you walk in in the form of the SR-71 Blackbird and it is magnificent.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome! So glad I made the drive down here. Worth the traffic. Parking is easy and the museum has plenty of air conditioned indoor space. It can get very hot and, other than under wings, there is little shade in the outside areas. This whole facility is way more than I expected it to be. A huge selection of aircraft, vehicles, uniforms, and much more. Covers all the major conflicts, space, and civilian aviation. The inclusion of memorabilia from other nations is a really nice touch as well. On par with the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH.

From my point of view, this air museum is one of the best among similar establishments in Southern California. It has a vast collection of military aircraft, including WWII and decades of the Cold War. My favorite airplane at this museum is SR-71. It was a unique reconnaissance aircraft capable of cruising for hours three times faster than the speed of sound. It carried incredibly sofisticated photo cameras and various advanced sensors. Visitors can see this amazing airplane from a close distance and even take a look inside of its two cockpits. There is a nice gift shop inside the museum. The museum's personnel is very friendly and knowledgeable. They also have many volunteers who are happy to answer any questions. It's a really nice place for any aviation and history buff.

March Field Air Museum is one of the larger museums that I have visited. There are quite a few.modern warbirds. Sadly most are in terrible condition. The paint is peeling, wind screens are cloudy and many have flat tires. I would rather see preservative plastic on the glass than what I saw. When you can see the cockpits, they are in a decaying state.It would be wonderful if someone could clean up the interiors.Not a lot of prop driven planes, mostly jets.I did enjoy watching KC-135's doing touch and goes. Plus a pair of F-16s took off, that fun watching.March Air Museum is a great teaching location. Children will learn about military aviation throughout history.

Thank you, Mike, for the best tour ever!! Very fascinating information. This place was so much larger than we had expected, and it is really well done. Don't hesitate to stop by here!

The March Field Air Museum is an aviation museum near Moreno Valley and Riverside, California, located in March Air Reserve Base. This museum is on a huge hanger with impressive collection of WWII artifacts, fighter jets, choppers, cargo and bomber planes.General Admission ticket is $18 bucks. Staff were fantastic. This is great place for aviation fans and a good place for families. It’s easy to spend 3 hours in this museum. I suggest you put sunscreen or wear a hat on hot days if you’re going to visit. Parking lot is huge. Overall, it’s one of the largest aviation museum in SoCal. I enjoyed my visit. And I highly recommend this museum.

Awesome museum! Super friendly people. Love the exhibits up close and free to touch most of them. Hands-on experience on may exhibits. Super Awesome flight simulators are free to use. Bring your good walking shoes. You'll need them outside for their extensive collections of well maintained military aircrafts. If you don't feel like walking, that's okay. They offer a guided tour where they do all the driving and will stop at every aircraft and give you an excellent description of every aircraft.Love this place!! S

The March Field Air Museum is a great air museum with a vast and interesting collection of aircraft and other items. Highly recommend visiting if in the area, and the numerous planes outside the museum are a great sight to see.

The workers are very nice, very friendly, professional and above all they answer all your questions about the place. In fact, I think most of them have been working there for a long time because they know a lot about it. There are two areas. The inside area is history and The outside area has all the airplanes you can imagine. I really loved the museum.

What's not to love? When you enter the museum, the first thing you see is an SR-71. Can't miss it because it occupies a large portion of the center of the museum/hangar. There is a portable staircase you can climb to get a view of both seats and console as well as a view of the aircraft from above. There is a winding staircase that goes to the top of the gift shop, from which you get an even better view. There are displays, recreations, and replicas, some with audio and/or video aspects, along every wall of the hangar. They are designed to give you a feel for what it was like to operate each system during its era. Take the time to stop at each one and appreciate the history they represent. You won't be sorry. When you're finished inside, head out to the flight line to view dozens of aircraft. Stand under the wings of a B-52, B-17, B-29, B-47, in front of basically any fighter from the Sabre onward, including rarities like the 104. There are tanker and transport aircraft, a recreation of a Vietnam-era bivouac, with aircraft (several varieties of helicopters) and vehicles, plus a Hercules rocket body to top things off. An added bonus was getting to watch touch-and-goes by military aircraft on the active strip (there is a small bleacher set along the fence line for that purpose), commercial aircraft, and a pair of F-16s taking off. It was like a mini-airshow. Fantastic time.

This place is truly a hidden gem, offering more than just the opportunity to see airplanes and artifacts; it provides an unforgettable experience of meeting former pilots such as the great Walter Fus. He shared captivating anecdotes and tales of his journeys, showing us pictures that filled us with pride for our men in uniform and the Air Force. I learned a tremendous amount from listening to him. Witnessing the dedication and effort required to maintain these engineering marvels was eye-opening. Exploring the cabin and being surrounded by controls, switches, and buttons was an exhilarating experience. This place is at the level of the NASA Visitor Center in Florida. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to bring your family and friends along and take advantage of this fantastic place where you'll create great memories that you and your family will cherish forever.

March Field Air Museum is Incredible! - Was there for the Ulises Cabrera For Mayor 2024Campaign Kickoff and Birthday Celebration. It has changed dramatically since I was last there with many outstanding new displays and friendly staff members. I encourage everyone to visit March Field Air Museum!!

Outstanding museum, if you like airplanes or want to learn more. The mini bus ride around almost every plane is a must do (about 45 minutes). The military radio history is pretty good also. The people that work there are mostly volunteers and really enjoy what they do and are very knowledgeable. This place is a great tribute to those who served. Real glad we went.

Stopped by the Museum on our way from Joshua tree to San Diego. My kids had a wonderful time doing a scavenger hunt for critters inside the museum/hangar. It was wonderful to see retired aircraft’s and learn about their history. Bring your kids along and have a blast…highly recommended!!

Stepping into the March Field Air Museum is like taking a flight through history. With itsvast collection of aircraft, each visit feels like a new discovery. The museum showcases an impressive array from vintage warbirds to modern jets, all meticulously preserved. It’s not just the quantity but the quality of exhibits that captivates; every plane tells a story, echoing the rich heritage of aviation. The museum staff’s passion is evident, their knowledge deep, and their willingness to share stories adds a personal touch to the experience. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or a curious visitor, the museum is a treasure trove of learning and inspiration. It’s a must-visit for anyone with even a passing interest in the marvels of flight.

It is larger than chino air museum and more outdoor area. The weather is too hot that day. Will come back in winter. My son loves them !

I’m impressed with the amount of aircraft that are on display. The docents are so willing to share their knowledge and sometimes experience in the exhibition. I recommend you a lot time to see the vast amount of aircraft on display.

Beautiful museum with a lot of different planes from the aviation alphabet. Of course, the Blackbird was our favorite one. You can also book a tour for additional 8$ with an ex airforce pilot, which was very interesting. They have almost every plane, except the A-10 Warthog. Definitely worth the visit if you‘re a fan of aviation.

Fantastic visit to March Field Air Museum! A treasure trove of aviation history with engaging exhibits and friendly staff. Great for all ages. Highly recommended!

The Santa Rosa Ecological Reserve and the Sylvan Meadows trail are a great place to hike in the spring when the grass fields are green and the wildflowers are blooming. Best on a clear day, and great for hiking, running, mountain biking or horseback riding.

This is a great place to unwind and observe nature. It is a great place to see wildlife. In November 2020, I was walking along the Coyote Trail and saw a coyote; it appeared to be hunting for food. I took photographs and video, and then left.

This is a great place to hike. Some of the trails are still washed out from a fire I think 2019-2020. There is a lot of history behind it, including the adobes and vernal pools.

Large network of trails, great hikes for beginners and folks of all ages. Trails are relatively flat with tons of forks allowing to extend or cut hikes. Plenty of parking throughout. They have a visitor center with lots of information.

It's great that the Sylvan Meadow area is accessible again after the 2019 fire. We did a December hike through the dry but beautiful meadow. I am looking forward to hike after some rainy days.

We love this place we bring our kids here to go hiking.

Santa Rosa Plateau is such a gem! The trails are pretty family friendly. Very, very clean and maintained and they aren't far from where we live. Make sure to bring water and wear comfy shoes and long pants because we did see a few creepy crawlies that didn't look the friendliest. Make this a must do when you are in the area. You won't be disappointed.

The vernal pools, adobe home and building are wonderful. There are a handful of benches to take advantage of the tranquil views. It's a great walk.

We went on a Family Wildlife Day which was a great experience especially for the kids. They get to interact with snakes, tortoises, and birds.Fun with a bit of a hike & lots of things to do.. coloring, fishing101, jenga and lots of freebies too. There was also a live band playing. Free snacks.We got to talk with the park rangers, department of Fish & wildlife employees, astronomy experts. Definitely a must if you have kids.Free for active duty & military veterans also free for 17 below!

Beautiful nature. Hikes are light but relaxing. Recommend for an afternoon stroll

Love the plateau!! I’ve lived in Murrieta for 10+ years , hiking all about. This is definitely the best spot for hiking , wildlife , history, etc. The structures on the property date back to the 1800s , and are some of the oldest standing structures in all of Riverside county. Depending on the season , you can see different animals , plants , and even the environment itself changes! So much more can be said about the plateau, but I’ll leave it up to you to go and explore for yourself.

Beautiful ride there to beautiful trails with a bit of history, lots of oak trees, and filled ponds.

The visitors center and the preserve is back open after being closed since the fire in 2019. The weather has been good for a nice walk about and there are no crowds. Come and spend some time with nature.

Beautiful area, well marked trails. Mostly easy@

We are so happy Santa Rosa Plateau is back open! We've taken the kids since they were able to walk. Went for the first time since it's been reopened due to the fire. Beautiful hike. Appreciate all the volunteers who help keep it open as well.

Great landscape with well-marked trails. There is a good sense of peace and quiet here, so if you are looking to get some solitude with nature, there is your place.

Amazing place. Museum is a must kids had a blast. I could be here all day.

This is the largest Mission I have seen and the grounds are kept beautifully. There is a musuem and a cafe that closes early. The retreat portion of the grounds is not open to the public. The structure was rebuilt in the 30s, so only the ruins are original. It's a peaceful place to sit and walk. There is artwork on display.

Beautiful place with a long (by American standards---not so much by colonial Spanish standards or European standards). Anything in the western US that dates to the 18th century is worthy of study. Brought our kids here back over the holidays in 2007 while visiting the in-laws. I also enjoyed the US/Mexico War connection.

This is a financially driven church that has proven to care less about giving to the poor people! They do not assist those with drug and substance abuse, elders, or children without paying a ridiculous amount for services! All of their programs are for profit, and they are a non-profit religious organization! Not only is this legally questionable, but it defies the religious values of a Catholic Church. There are so many donors, and they are not giving to those in need without financial obligation. This church does not even give holy water to those who ask for it. The monks and volunteers complain for simply asking for holy water. Apparently, the monks complain about blessing the water, and the volunteers are too scared to ask.... before the very eyes of God..... seriously?! All for the money, what a shame!

If you're visiting Oceanside, a stop at Mission San Luis Rey is absolutely worth it. Nestled in the heart of Oceanside, this historic gem is not just a site to behold, but a journey through California's rich past. The gardens are the first to catch your eye - beautifully manicured, vibrant with color, and an oasis of peace that invites you to stroll and reflect. Each plant, statue, and fountain tells a story, making the gardens a serene retreat. On the other side of the compound is the cemetery, which I also really enjoyed, but I know it's not for everyone. It's fun to see the dates on the headstones and ponder back to yesteryear.The history of Mission San Luis Rey is palpable in every corner. As one of the largest missions in California, it holds centuries of stories within its walls. The museum offers a deep dive into the mission's past, from its founding in 1798 by Father Fermin Lasuén to its role in the community today. The artifacts and exhibits are well-curated, providing a comprehensive view of the mission's significance in California's history.For those looking to do more, Mission San Luis Rey doesn't disappoint. Beyond the main museum and church, there are workshops, retreats, and educational programs that immerse visitors in the culture and history of the mission. As I mentioned, the cemetery is another point of interest, offering a quiet place for contemplation and a connection to the people who have been part of the mission's story.Admission prices are very reasonable, making it an accessible outing for everyone. The fee includes access to the museum, gardens, and other parts of the mission, providing great value for an enriching experience. Parking is ample and well-organized, ensuring a hassle-free start to your visit.A visit to Mission San Luis Rey is highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful day out. Whether you're wandering through the stunning gardens, exploring the historic church and museum, or participating in one of the many activities offered, there's something here for everyone. Don't miss the gift shop on your way out for unique souvenirs to remember your visit.

Attended the Day of the Dead event at the mission. The mission was beautiful, and the day was perfect for an outside festival. There was food, crafts, and altars. The mission was a perfect place to host the event. The church is beautiful and the grounds well groomed. It was well attended and only cost $2.00 a person entrance fee.My only suggestion is they assign people to control the parking logistics. It was very confusing, snd without direction, it was needlessly stressful.They sold many food items, and there was lawn seating, but some tables and chairs would have nice, but the grass worked out.Very pleasant day activity.

Beautiful place rich History, clean, inexpensive, great to know history.Love to take pictures there.

Came to the mission for a Candlelight concert series, featuring Beethoven’s works. Beautiful set-up and beautiful music!

One of the more complete missions, though a lot of the mission ground is inaccessible due to the mission also being a retreat. The amazing artifact on display at this mission is without a doubt the original signed copy of the document granting (returning) the mission to the catholic church signed by none other than Abraham Lincoln. The first pepper tree grown in California is also on the mission grounds. The grounds are well maintained, and the missions courtyard feels like Europe, which must have mesh a comfort to the padres.

A beautiful California Mission in Oceanside. A nice place to visit or attend Sunday 7 am mass. Come early to make sure you get a seat. Plenty of parking. Museum and Gift Store are available with reasonable prices. The mission church is open and free to pray or light a candle which is Available at entry of church for $4. Beautiful statues and paintings to take in the glory.

Free admission for military and it has many beautiful artworks! If you love art history or California history I would definitely recommend visiting.

The Fever staff were so accommodating and professional for the entire evening. The venue was beautiful. And of course the performers were top notch. I love listening to Vivaldi and they played it very well.

Incredible experience I recommend this to any classical music lover the venue was appropriate for the epoch of Mozart an 18th century mission we are mesmerized

Nice large church and short, museum like tour. Church was one of the larger mission churches. Other than that, not much else to see. They will not let you tour the expansive interior gardens, which was the most disappointing part.Skip this mission and go to San Juan Capistrano. You’re free to visit any part of the mission you’d like.

The beautiful old mission San Luis Rey by candlelight with Vivaldi played by excellent musicians made for the perfect concert!

Our choice of Mozart's requiem as our first experience elevated the entire event to a whole new level. The music itself was nothing short of phenomenal, but what truly set this concert apart was the musicians' dedication to educating the audience on the etiquette and background of the composition. It was a dream come true, transporting me to the enchanting world of the 1800s. The only elements missing were the grandeur of a magnificent dress and the embrace of a corset. This beautiful experience is one that everyone should seize the opportunity to live, for it is truly enlightening and inspiring.

Totally worth every moment spent- my daughter was so inspired(she’s 10) venue was elegant. The musicians were talented and so kind to talk to my daughter and I- the fever staff was extremely welcoming. Will do it again!

After 35 years of teaching kids about the missions, and having visited all 21 missions. I am now visiting the missions again. This is one of the nicest to visit. Take the time to watch the educational video at the end of the tour. I wish visitors were allowed to visit the pepper tree and the back tower. Adults $8; Seniors (65+) $5; Youth (ages 6-18) $5; Ages 5 and under, free of charge; Active Military and dependents, free of charge.

I took my 11 year old daughter to this performance. She and I both play string instruments and I thought it would be very educational for her. You did not disappoint! The venue was breathtaking and the music was beautiful. Neither one of us could believe how fast the time flew by-we were both so caught up in the music! Highly recommend!

This was my first Candelight Concert and I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. I’ll be going to more and experiencing it in different venues. The musicians were tops.

This place is beautiful they take tours there’s a museum there is architecture to see there’s really cool ruins and signs to describe things. The ruins have lots of iron and I mean lots of squirrels so that’s really really cool to watch. The grounds is beautiful and just something you should go see with families, couples, or by yourself.

Truly lovely mission, church, cemetery and surroundings! Peaceful, inspirational and interesting piece of history, architecture and traditions well worth the visit!

This was the most amazing experience! It brought chills to my soul. I highly recommend to everyone to experience one of these concerts.

HIGH-QUALITY PERFORMANCES! The Old Town Temecula Community Theater is outstanding! Each event I’ve attended here has been fun and enjoyable. I’ve seen play productions, concerts, and recently the Annual Jazz Festival! The seats are SO comfortable here and there’s plenty of ramps for disabled guests. The volunteers and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The venue is intimate which allows each seat to provide a great view! The theater seats have a lot of leg room. There’s upstairs seating, but it’s limited. You can also find a small balcony section on each upper side of the theater, however, they’re also limited in space. Most seats will be found at the bottom level. The theater’s box office can be found in the neighboring venue, The Merc. Additionally, the theater has a set of restrooms across from it and a snack shop that has wine, soda. candy and other goodies. The venue is family friendly and has a great atmosphere. Being in the heart of Old Town Temecula, one has several food options before and after an event as there’s many restaurants and bars nearby! I have an appreciation for this theater as they really reach out to the community and tickets aren’t overpriced!

stretch your comfort zone and do something different while supporting local businesses. Go watch a play, bring the young adults with you.Anywhere you sit is a great seat so dont' worry about that.This place has also hosted ted talks, like a mini one but still quite goodIt is kinda hidden, and even if you don't attend a play you should go check it out. Beats hanging out the in bars all the time.

Very nice, intimate theater. Appointed well, excellent sound system and acoustics, astounding lighting. A gem of a theater. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the parking in Old Town Temecula is horrific. The whole area deserves a parking structure, or remote parking facility with shuttle service.

Great little theater. The Mary Poppins Musical had a great cast with amazing voices! We look forward to going here a lot more.

The theater is a delightful small town venue, tucked behind Front Street. There is not a bad seat in the house! All of the seats are comfortable and offer a great view of the stage. The snack bar is convenient with drinks, adult beverages, and snacks. It is cozy and quite enjoyable reading the donors names on the artistic metal sculptures and plaques. The Addam's Family Musical was well done and entertaining with a quality cast. It was not as family friendly as we had hoped in language and content, yet still enjoyable.

It is an awesome place to see a play, a show, singing group. Small enough to see from every seat. The wifey n I saw west side story. Our friends son wan acting in it. The sound of all the singing sounded great though the whole place. So go enjoy a show there if you can, sells out quickly!

I really like this venue. The theater is very nice. The price is right. The acting is above average and the variety of shows is very good. There is a snack bar with beer, wine, coffee, tea and bottled water. Also lots of restaurants nearby.

Nice place to visit, you will find good places to eat, listen to good music and buy endless souvenirs

What a fantastic facility! We came for the community theater and its performance of the Music Man. Bottom line... one of the best performances I have see in a long time. All the actors were great. The seats are comfortable. I hope Mom and Dad will bring me back again the next time I visit!

Saw Led Zepagain here and it was a great venue! Sound & lighting were were really good. Seating was comfortable. There were no signs posted for the entrance so we walk around building twice to find it. Parking is $26 in the lots & you have to pay thru your phone. Not even the lot attendant could get it to work right. I had to park 4 blocks away at the city hall parking structure, which is free but made us miss 25 minutes of the show.

Small venue, but that is a good thing. We sat in the balcony. Interestingly, the balcony is just one row of seats. That makes egress and access difficult. But the center seats in the balcony have the best view, so tripping over your neighbors is worth it!

Most wonderful Theater. Such a jewel and enrichment for the community. Great selections of shows as well!

Wonderful community theater. No bad seats! Lovely outdoor patio and lots of ladies rooms (!) Saw Music Man. Top notch cast, super kids singing and dancing, had the entire audience singing to 76 Trombones. A must for family Sundays and evening date nights.

We always have a good time at the theater. It's always clean, and the staff is helpful. Ticket prices are reasonable, my only complaint is the cost of parking.

We saw the Makaha Sons on Wednesday the 27th. Purchased tickets in January and surprised that 2nd row seats were available. Amazing seats and atmosphere. The acoustics were excellent as were the band and hula dancers. Looking forward to their return next year as well as other future performances.

Took 3 of my gal pals to see the Prince Again show last Friday night. Had a blast! It was a fantastic show! Love this theatre! Not a bad seat in the place!

Just saw Oklahoma. Had previously seen Little Shop of Horrors. This is a great venue. Very intimate. Every seat is a great one. Performance was outstanding.

A must see when you're in town. Lots of restored old buildings, food options (try Goat and Vine restaurant) and shops. Make sure to also go down the side streets as there are other shops around that are worth visiting. Lastly, there's a public parking about 2 blocks up away from the main street that helps avoid competing in finding parking.

Great venue, not a bad seat in the house. The place has the feel of a Broadway theater, with a gorgeous outdoor courtyard serving as a lobby. Saw the Andrew Lloyd Webber spectacular and it was a great tribute to the composer! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

The kids love this place! Fun little family get away that’s close by and affordable. Just the right amount of things to look at and they split it up into groups so that it’s not overwhelming. Definitely recommend!

I've been curious about this place for years and my kid is finally old enough to go (3 years) - we loved it! There were so many fun things to explore that even the adults had fun, but my daughter especially loved finding "secret passages", playing in the kitchen area, and playing with the random piles of blocks and things throughout. I can see it's a great place to bring kids of all ages from toddlers like mine who want to explore, to elementary age who would understand more of the science concepts behind the exhibits. It's so much in a space that I can see how you could go back over and over.One tip: Wed mornings 10-12 masks are required.

Fun for all ages! My parents took me here as a kid, and now that I’m an adult I took my boyfriend to check it out. We had so much fun with all the interactive experiments, he even learned a few new things! Someday when I have kids I’ll be taking them here too.There’s secrets and tidbits scattered throughout the entire museum, scavenger hunts and secret rooms, lighting effects, experiments, the works!If you have sensory issues with lighting or sound, you may want to plan ahead and bring things such as glasses or headphones as it can get loud or overstimulating. That said, you can look around for hours and never get bored as there’s so much to explore!

Loved this spot! My kids had a blast. It’s a steampunk inspired children’s museum with tons of buttons to press and even science based magic shows. We will definitely be back!

Our kids were amazed and as parents we were also amused. It was quite a magical and unique experience, interacting with science in such a stimulating environment.

Unlimited entertainment for kids and toddlers! It's worth noting that their hours are scheduled in "sessions". Although you can pay to enter any time during the session, they will close up and turn off the activities when the session ends and guests are expected to exit.I do appreciate that they began cleaning and sanitizing, though, because a lot of kid friendly places are so dirty!I really loved the staff. They talked so respectfully to my toddler and my family. They allow kids to touch literally anything. I was so pleasantly surprised! And there's enough to keep them interested and having fun for the entire session. For $10/person that can't be beat.There's also parking right next to the building. And a designated snacking area.Be aware: the entrance is a gift shop, so getting kids through that to pay and enter is a bit challenging.

For The Price of around $10, this place will entertain your 4-10 yr old for 1-1.5 hrs. They open for 2 hours segments so plan accordingly. We brought 3 boys 6,7, & 9 here. The first 30-45 mins was them just quickly moving from one room to another. The last 30 & 45 mins, we took a little more time and tried to get them to focus on some of the levels of ingenuity in each room. They don't fully appreciate it as they just want to be hands on and playing.This place is very neat, I would love if they had one gross motor room to help get some extra running energy out as our 3 boys wanted to run and physically exert some extra energy...they ran in the dark room maze which isn't the best place to run. If your kid is ADHD, they will like this place but not appreciate each station and be done in 30-40 minutes. Then you just need to re-focus and allow them some time to discover the stations in depth. The gift shop is pretty sweet and I would come here to buy a gift for a kid, not just go into the museum. The staff is great as well with their patience and fun with the kids. I am glad they called out my loud and slightly running kids as it re-etirated my own admonishments of their behavior. Find street parking for free close by as well, and take a walk around the town to go along with this stop in Temecula.

So awesome! Definitely recommend this place for all ages. Great price, lots to see and do. I have a 9 month old and she was entertained, and I went with a 10 13 and 15 year old and they thought it was awesome as well

I didn’t even realize they have so much amazing stuff there! Like magic mix with science and arts! Our kids even didn’t want to leave! Tips: they will close one hour between two sections. Such as 12:00 to 2 pm. , and reopen at 3 pm.

Wow, talk about stimulation. My 12 year old granddaughter loved it! She's not easy to entertain. My 19 year old grandson enjoyed it. Be mindful of the session times. You will most likely need every minute.

This place is hidden in Old Town Temecula, in the back off the main street. If you have not gone to this museum it definitely is a must try for the kids for the summer. This place only cost $10.00 entry fee, so worth it. Each room had a diffrent theme, one had an earthquake simulation, the other was a music room, one was a glow in the dark room. It also had escape doors that lead to another room. Don't worry there's cameras so you can see where the kid went . The kids had a great time with the different themed rooms and inventions. The gift shop had alot of cool stuff too.

Great place to take your kids if you need something to do. I usually go on weekdays, less busy. Lots of science and wacky things for the kids to enjoy. They have special science experiment demonstrations a few times per day.

Visiting the Pennypickle’s was an absolute blast for my children—and for me too! From start to finish, there was so much to explore and learn. The museum is designed brilliantly, with interactive exhibits that engage kids of all ages.What we loved most were the hands-on activities. My kids couldn't get enough of the mini science lab, where they could conduct their experiments under the guidance of friendly staff. The pretend play areas were also a hit, sparking their creativity and imagination.The museum staff deserves a special mention for being incredibly kind and patient. They took the time to explain things and made sure everyone was having a great time.Overall, this museum is a must-visit for families. It's educational, entertaining, and a perfect way to spend quality time with your little ones. We can't wait to go back and explore more!

Great place to take your kids. Ours a fun place for them to learn about science and other naturally occurring things. They have a mean science show which is great.It does not take more than 30 minutes to get thru the whole place but of your kids love something they can spend hours.

Love this place! In a world of TV and smartphones this was a welcome break. My granddaughter loved it! Soooo much to see. The details and creativity are impressive. The staff was super kind. Very unique place! I highly recommend it!!

There are a lot of stimuli—I've been a few times, and my 6-—to 7-year-old grandson LOVES IT! But if you have children who are super sensitive to overstimulation, call them for a recommendation. You can help guide them for sure, but just so they know and you know going in!

The pennypickle was truly exceptional! I was really impressed with the quality of their setup.The pennypickle, surpassed all of our expectations. Our family particularly loved the scavenger hunt. The process of learning new things and having fun was delightful.We cannot recommend it highly enough! If you like taking the family out, you will absolutely adore this place! Our feedback on the pennypickle was nothing short of amazing.My kids 7 and 14 year's old eagerly looking towards returning.The service received was unforgettable. Don't miss the opportunity to build incredible memories with the kiddos.A special thank you to the dedicated employee Peggy, who provided exceptional care with fun and educational activities, while maintaining a high level of attentiveness. Their leadership shines through their awesome staff.

AMAZING! Took my 1 year old who loved it! Especially the music room. Dianna was lovely, showing us the dinosaurs 🦕! I think my husband had the time of his life as well! Highly recommend!!!

This place is a ton of fun for Littles! Actually my 10 year old son still enjoyed it too. Definitely worth a visit. Make note that they have 2 1/2 session/ time slots. Check online to see when you want to go first. Enjoy!

My nearly 4 year old had an incredible time- he definitely wants to go back. Pro-tip: get your tickets and stamps ahead of time to skip the line. Also, stretch before you come: lots of bending and climbing for parents involved (if you want)!

What a great place! Staff is fabulous and kids are free to roam, explore, and experience. Our grandkids 2 and 6 and as much fun as an amusement park for $10...what a bargain. Thank you!

This is like visiting a wildlife sanctuary right in my own neighborhood! The park is absolutely beautiful. Hundreds of species of birds and wildlife can be seen through the walking trails and out on the lake. Yes, a $3 fee is charged for parking, but that money goes to great use. The grounds are kept immaculate, the restrooms are always clean and well stocked, and it is year-round available to the community. My family and I love it here!

Great trails, with paid parkingThis park offers a nice walking trail and outdoor workout equipment. It's a great place to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Be aware that there is paid parking on site.

Worst camping experience we have ever experienced. Arrived on a Friday to have runners within feet of our camping site the ENTIRE time with people yelling them on , absolutely no shade and no privacy. We thought this was a one day event only to find out his is DAILY. The very next morning bright and early(6:30am ) we were awakened to the wonderful noise of runners and people walking through our campsite. We decided we would not want to deal with this for our entire weekend when we found out this happens 7 days a week so we packed up this losing our much needed vacation. The staff is not polite , we have been camping for over 30 years and this is our first one star rating. If you are looking for relaxation and people not trampling through your campsite all day and evening this campground is not for you . They should make sure they inform their guests that there is a running trail going through the campground that over 500 runners or more use throughout the day and have loud events. We wasted our time and money

Great hidden treasure off the 76 in North County. There’s plenty of trails here for walking , biking and horseback riding. Trails are clearly marked and have speed warning signs for people on bikes. There’s a campground nearby and an attached parking area that cost $3 for the day. I opted to park on one of the residential streets across from the entrance to the trails. The trails go past two lakes and there a few little bridges that span the streams that feed into the lakes. I saw lots of birds, a rabbit and a weasel of some sort. There are warning signs for rattlesnakes but I didn’t see any reptiles. Great park with decent selection of trails. There a sparingly few trash cans so please take your trash with you and keep the park clean

Great place to walk/run/Bike ride. Beautiful views, dog friendly, lots of camping

My first time here at this amazing little treasure of a park and what a pleasant surprise! Beautifully maintained park, trails, restrooms, and camp grounds. It is a $3 entrance fee which was well worth it. I will be coming here more often and enjoying this space.

We really enjoy this park. The nature trails are wonderful and the lake and nearby pond add to the overall nature experience. There is a children's playground on site as well as a volleyball court, pickleball court, and workout equipment. The campgrounds are well maintained with all RV hookups available at each site. The park also has a dumping station. Each site has a concrete parking slab with greenery all around. Each site also has a clean and well maintained picnic table and fire pit. The restrooms and showers are clean and in excellent working condition. Codes to enter the restrooms and showers are issued to campers and changed regularly for added security. Tokens for the showers are available at the park office where they also sell firewood. We have camped at this park on three separate occasions and enjoy it immensely!

Nice little county park! Great for bikes and an afternoon or morning walk. Really nice playground area. The lake was full of water fowl and migratory birds. I think the park could use some better signage for the native and nonnative plants that were adjacent to the trails.

Absolutely beautiful park with so much to do. The shaded play structure is lovely and the ducks are so fun to feed. My son and I catch small minors and crawdads in the creek areas towards the back of the park.

Clean, quiet camp sites with full hookups. Small wildlife (birds and rabbits) to enjoy. Green spaces to walk through and small lake with waterfowl.

It great place for camping, hiking, mountain bike riding, and horseback riding. There are also 2 playgrounds, basketball courts, and a soccer field. Would bring our kids here all the time now I am bringing my grandkids here they love feeding the ducks and walking around the lake. They love seeing the horses when they ride through the park.

This is a wonderful park for families. The facilities were well maintained including the bathrooms. There are miles of easy walking trails with nice views of the pond. Bring some lawn chairs and food for a picnic on the grass. Or bring some charcoal and grill at one of the many seating areas. It's well worth a visit.

Hadn't been here for awhile and was happy to see how many great additions have been made. There are now two cabins to rent, FULL RV hookups (at the best price around) and still the most, courteous, helpful staff around. The park and campground are clean as well as the restrooms. Ducks and birds at the pond are fun to watch, great place to enjoy and relax.Smidgen gives it 5 woofs!

Incredibly tranquil and scenic Park located fairly close to Oceanside and Vista. This area pond has numerous birds, ducks, geese and a small number of RV spots NOT bunched together, with full hookups. Do yourself a favor and visit this small but mighty regional park, either on foot, on horseback, electric bike or RV. Just a slice of heaven here. Very friendly park rangers! Strongly recommended for a quiet getaway!

Loved our stay in this park! Nice playground and picnic areas. Ducks to feed on the lake with many walking trails. Clean park and restrooms! We had no trouble with our 40ft 5th wheel and pads were nice with table and fire pit. Smaller campground with limited spots for big rigs so plan early!.
