Mission San Luis Rey

Mission
Museums
Mission San Luis Rey, established in the late 18th century, is a site of historical significance that offers visitors self-guided tours of its museum, cemetery and grounds. The mission recently hosted a Day of the Dead event which was well-attended and included food stalls, crafts and altar displays. Although the church and surrounding areas were well-maintained, there was some confusion with parking logistics that could have been better managed. Entry fee was reasonably priced at $2 per person.
Surprised my mom for a mom and daughter night out. The candlelight concert was held at the San Luis Rey mission in Oceanside,CA and was completely mesmerizing! The Range string quartet are breath taking perfection and we just savored every moment. I wish there was a printed program to have as a trinket to a special night. We are hooked for sure and can't wait for the next one!! 🤍

Beautiful and historic. We came late in the day after a hike. Beautiful grounds and church. The staff at the church discussed some of the history with us.
Jim H — Google review
This mission is well worth a visit. The church’s architecture and art were stunning and the museum (fee required to enter) was filled with loads of artifacts and interesting stuff. There was also a viewing area of the gardens behind the coffee shop, but you cannot enter unless you are in a retreat. Also recommend visiting the Lavanderia if you have time. Not many people go there and it’s a cool place to check out.
TheDoRanger — Google review
Beautiful old Mission. Very well kept. Self guided tour is nice and worth it. The Church and the alter are very beautiful. They have a coffee shop and a small gift shop. Another Mission checked off the list. Recommended.
Eric L — Google review
Very well maintained mission - free to enter, but with an entry fee for museum. We enjoyed the chapel, met a friendly Franciscan brother, and lingered in the peaceful courtyard cafe over cold brew coffee. Small gift shop.
NJ G — Google review
I specifically went to Oceanside to see this Mission and a museum downtown. I also purposely chose to go on a Wednesday at 10 AM, when they opened, to avoid crowds... it was perfect. The Mission did not disappoint. Beautifully kept, my friend and I came in August and paid the adult entry fee of $8., plenty of parking. It was fairly hot day, little to no shade unless you are inside, so be prepared. We did the Self-Guided Tour throughout the whole property inside and out, all 11 points of interest. I loved seeing the oldest Peruvian Pepper tree. A little disappointed that you could not walk through the beautiful gardens and see the pepper tree up close. There was a gentleman walking the grounds to help direct and and to answer any question you had. He was truly a book of information on the history of the entire place. This mission in Oceanside is definitely worth visiting. The Mission: definitely worth a visit. Employee/Volunteers: very nice. Spend: 1-2 hours.
MCK — Google review
Attended a good friend's father's funeral services this afternoon. Both mass and burial ceremony was beautiful. Doves were released and Mariachi was playing. Retreats were held here, which was a huge part of my friend's father's life. My first time being a part of such unique ceremony and to be able to help celebrate one's life in the way it was done today - special.
M A — Google review
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.

Oceanside Municipal Pier

Mentioned on 
+32 other lists 
Fishing pier
Sights & Landmarks
Oceanside Municipal Pier, an iconic wooden fishing pier originally built in 1888, extends 1,942 feet into the Pacific Ocean. It's a prime spot for whale watching as it straddles whale migration routes. Visitors can catch glimpses of gray whales, minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales and dolphins from the pier or book a family whale watch cruise with Oceanside Adventures.
The ambiance and scenery at Oceanside were absolutely phenomenal. From the sound of the waves to the stunning ocean views, it was the kind of place that instantly puts you at ease. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach or just taking it all in, Oceanside has a vibe that’s hard to beat.
Rodzilla — Google review
We rented two surreys to bike along the one-mile strand, $70 for one hour total. The weather was sunny and breezy. The walk along the pier was gorgeous, and we got to watch the surfers catch some waves. Parking was a challenge in the area.
Ari E — Google review
Oceanside Pier is a must-visit in Southern California. With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, sandy beaches, surfers riding waves, and the Oceanside coastline stretching for miles, it’s perfect for photography, walking, or just relaxing. These shots were taken from the pier on a clear summer day, showing the vibrant blue water, wide sandy shore, and the bustling beach scene. If you’re visiting Oceanside, CA, the pier is ideal for sunset views, ocean breezes, and classic California coastal scenery.
Gracie B — Google review
Fun Stop when in Oceanside. I grew up coming to the pier in the 1970's. The buildings and businesses along the shoreline have changed but the Pier is still there. Multiple interations of the pier have stood for decades. The pier has been beaten by storms and most recently fire. The end of the pier is still closed but most of the pier is open to the public. Fishing is popular for many and the pier provides good spots. Rental equipment is available if you want to wet a line and don't have gear. Maybe, some smoked fish will soothe the call. Paid parking is available just south of the pier. Public restrooms are also available. The "Top Gun House" is across the street from the pier area. Take a walk down the pier and breathe in some sea air. You might spot some sea lions or even a dolphin.
Traveling G — Google review
The Oceanside Fishing Pier is a fantastic spot for a relaxing walk by the ocean. Whether you’re visiting during the day or at night, it offers breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. At night, the pier is beautifully lit, creating a calm and romantic vibe that makes it perfect for an evening stroll. It’s one of those places where you can truly enjoy the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Oceanside!
Elavan — Google review
I lived in Oceanside in the early 60's, when I was just a young child & my boyfriend & I come back every now & then to fish on the Oceanside pier & he loves fishing on the jetty, too! Before we even met, he told me he spent about a decade of his childhood & teens back in the 70s, staying in a condo in Oceanside, right on the beach, every summer! He just loved it, as it was nice to get out of San Bernardino County, where he grew up, to be by the ocean!
Marlayne B — Google review
Stopped by the beach and pier for a date night. Beach was okay, but the pier was nice. It was pretty crowded near the pier when we went. Parking is a pain, Parking lots are a good walk from the beach/pier and cost by the hour. Otherwise, we still had a good time walking the pier and watching the surfers and people fishing.
Bob S — Google review
It’s a pier but a little rough. A lot is going on but it’s not super dangerous. Keep your eyes open. It’s not pristine but it has a cool SoCal vibe. Visit at your own risk because on a good day there are thousands of people on the pier and around there. Closer to the beach is more safe but as you leave and you got few blocks away it all feels sketchier but it’s not exactly dangerous.

Pechanga Resort Casino

Mentioned on 
33 lists 
Resort hotel
Casinos & Gambling
Nestled in Temecula wine country, Pechanga Resort Casino is a top-tier AAA four-diamond hotel and one of the largest casino resorts in the US. Situated near old town Temecula and renowned wineries, it offers modern rooms, a rooftop nightclub, diverse dining options, and an award-winning golf course. The resort boasts an outdoor pool, full-service spa, shopping center, and access to local attractions.
Amazingly clean and friendly atmosphere in the main lobbies, restaurants and resort areas. Rooms in the resort tower were modern, comfortable and immaculate! Great views of the golf course and local hills. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE in their local Gas Station no longer sells Navajo Tacos (aka Indian Tacos). I’ll be honest in that my enthusiasm to visit this resort has lessened after they switched to chicken sandwiches. Now the next best place to get this Native delicacy is hundreds of miles and a state border crossing away. #sadface

I went for a concert, I was sooooo happy south this intimate venue. The staff was super helpful with directions, attentive, aaaaaaand looked happy to be there! I learned a lot at the resort... - they have parking near whatever you're trying to do. Great tip to call and find out before you go - did you know that Pechanga pays out 98% of their earnings! (Um, for those in the back, that means they pay you the most. For reference, Vegas pays about 75%) - did you know that a lot of the tribe works there, interns there, and participate participate - did you know that Pechanga is a group of Native American tribes that we're pushed there from the coast? - did you know that they used insight from Disney folks to build the resort for input on layout and sorts? - take a look at the awesome historical content they have there, it's really beautiful and brought in by families or donated by museums and collectors to the rightful tribes. - pro tip, they have a convenience store and gas station south of the resort before you head out. Way more economical! - did you know that professional athlete teams practice and train there? They have such a variety of entertainment and gaming there, just truly enjoy it!
Diva R — Google review
I love it here. They have at least 14 bubble craps machines, and at least 6 crapless craps machines, which is my favorite game; compare that to Aria in Vegas which only has 3 on their floor. The service is better as well - the staff genuinely seems happy to be there and it reflects onto me as a guest. The rooms are a great value and very quiet. The restaurants are fantastic. I had my honeymoon here and we had the best time. The pool is wonderful! My only con is the waterslide drops into 3.5 feet of water and last time I rode it I hit my foot on the bottom and had a limp for about 3 weeks. Wish that was deeper.

I have seen many ads on this resort and went to have a weekend getaway. I stayed at the resort tower, the room is new or they maintain it very well. The casino has a lot of machines and tables for players. There are restaurants in the property that very convenient for your stay. I attended the tacos and tequila festival and it was so fun!! It’s nice to see so many vendors and try out new food.

I had a HORRID experience with Pechanga Hotel. I rent beach and baby equipment rental items. I deliver and pickup items such as strollers, carseats, cribs etc that parents rent when traveling with kids. On Friday Oct 17, I called the Pechanga front desk and asked to speak with the bell desk. I asked permission to leave an item for the customer and gave the customers name and dates. I was given a yes by the bell desk that day, that on Sat the 18, I had permission to leave the item for the customer. I believe the bell captain who gave the go ahead was Thomas. I showed up on Saturday and was immediately "greeted" by an old white very rotund male security guard outside, who must've had his cheerios pissed in, because he was insanely disrespectful when I tried to ask for help on where the proper place to temporarily park was. He ended up continuing to be curt with me and I had to go ask someone else for help because he clearly was too distraught to even do his job. I arrived at 11am on Saturday and spoke with the bellman who took the item for me and the item was delivered to the customers room. At this time on Sat, no one told me anything, and everything seemed to go smoothly. Fast forward to Sunday morning at 10am, the customer went to return the item to the front desk and was told that it's against their policy to hold any items because I'm a third party. They gave the customer no solution and refused to help them. The ladies I spoke to on the phone (I believe Bea and Sabrina were 2 of the bell desk workers and the bell captain working Sunday at 10am was also very unhelpful). I personally called and asked what they expected the customer to do with the item until I could arrive to pickup and they couldn't even come up with a solution. Here's the issue, I requested permission in advance and was told they allow it. That tells me that there is a great miscommmunication between their team and that I'm sure this isn't the first time a customer has had to deal with their negligence. It's appaling that they tried to blame the customer for something that was the bell desks own fault. This is a pathetic way to run business and I hope someone takes notice and fixes these issues. I will never recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

Really nice experience last night here at Pechanga resort and casino. My buddy and I went to eat Kelsey's, had a great meal there. Then we went gambling and y'all can never complain when you win It was my first time here and certainly will not be the last time I come in. The better question, what took me so long?
Alexander B — Google review
When I’m in the area, I only stay at Pechanga. Rooms in the casino tower have been great. Clean clean clean! Hotel. I would give the hotel 5 stars if it was easier to self park and bring your luggage to the hotel, but the valet is cool and lets you park close in order to check in. No five stars because they wanted $100 to (maybe) have an early check in room. I guess if I were a high roller, maybe they would allow for early check in without a big cost; I know other casino- based hotels do the same thing- doesn’t mean I have to like it. LOL. . The food at the pool was marginal, but the pool area was clean and secure! I give the total experience 4.5 stars. Why stay anywhere else when you’re in the area??!! In my opinion, Pechanga has a better property layout than Morongo. Stay at Pechanga! Housekeeping great. Front desk hospitality was fine. Restaurants good, and lots of choices. Smoke-free casino, a big plus! They do have a smoking section on the upper level and behind glass doors, you never smell it.

Visited this winery with a party of 5 and had a wonderful time! We arrived around 3pm and it wasn’t too busy, nice relaxed vibe. The views were just amazing! It was really quiet, no noise from the road. We opted to getting a few bottles to drink vs. doing the tasting and that was a really nice experience. Both wines we chose (whites because it was super hot) were great and we stayed till they were closing. This place is just gorgeous, great wine, and great service. Would go again and would highly recommend to others in the area

We LOVE Leoness!!! Every single wine they make is so drinkable from the Cellar series to their Farmer’s selections! We recently were in and tasted two Zinfandels and both were delicious, different, but so good! We ALWAYS love the compilations! My favorite thing to do (after tasting in the tasting room with Vicki) is to sit on the lower patio and just enjoy the view!!!

Very unfriendly and rigid manager ruined family outing. We wanted to sit in the picnic area. It was completely empty. We were going to buy bottles and food but we wanted to eat our own cheese with the wine. They refused, made it uncomfortable and were completely uncompromising. We’ve always come here and done this. Always buy lots of wine. We’ll avoid this winery from now on and recommend to all our friends to do the same.

I was so excited to photograph this company Christmas party. This winery was my dear friend's absolute favorite – he used to spoil me with their chocolate cups and almond champagne. Being able to work here as a photographer, I can confidently say the experience was everything I'd hoped for. It’s easy to see why this place held such a special spot in his heart; it certainly didn't disappoint.

We have frequented at least 3 different times for events and individual tasting. each time, wines were average at best and grounds had commercial vibes. Staff were pushing for purchase and usually inattentive. My family and I prefer visiting other nearby wineries for better taste, price, and service.

The place is pretty, and it can accommodate large numbers of people, something that can be a plus or a minus, depending. However, I have to say, food quality is terrible. I don’t think we’ll be coming here again. It’s a place for crowds. The kids area is quite far from the dinning areas so kids cannot go and play after they finish their meager kids menu food.

The food at the grille was not the best. It tasted like 7-11 food. The wine, however, was amazing. They just opened up the vineyard tour the weekend of 6/28/25, and it was great. About 1.5 hour tour with 8 glasses of wine included. Traci, the tour guide was phenomenal. Full of energy and enthusiasm.

Great and professional theater experience, and it's right here in our backyard! We saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and it was phenomenal. Perfect for a fun night on the town, dinner and a show with lots of fun places nearby after or before the show. Highly recommended!

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!

Most wonderful Theater!! Such a treasure and such an enrichment for the community in this town!! Great selections of shows as well! I've seen several shows there myself AND also performed there myself with the local Southwest Women's Chorus (look us up OR join!). The acoustics are superb, the staff is so friendly and helpful. The shows reach from performances of non-local artists to performances of local artist. Variety of shows are great! Really one of the best venues in the whole Temecula Valley! I recommend to buy tickets ahead of time because shows can sell out very quickly. Definitely give this Theater a visit!!

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!

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.

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!

Beautiful location for exploring local wildlife in the museum or going for a nice hike, various trails. uneven paths, rain pitted the trails, but still easy enough to walk. Wonderful to see the land healing from the fires. School field trips are educational. The people who run it and teach the kids are very patient, kind, and truly amazing people!

Great place to hike, I try to go early mornings and it’s never been crowded. There are vernal pools (with water atm), I’ve seen deer, cranes, tarantulas and lots of lizards and bunnies. There are many different plants and flowers as well. So far I’ve done the trails around the pools and the hidden valley trail in the middle of the map. The Hidden Valley was the easiest as far as the path and change in incline, but I find the Vernal Pool trail more interesting and there is just a minor incline on the way back. I have bad feet, knees and back and I am able to handle with no issues! The people working and volunteering at the preserve have always been super kind and informative. Bought a yearly pass for $35. Day use without the pass in $4. Plenty of parking at the 3 different parking areas.

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!

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.

San Clemente Beach Trail is a 2.3-mile dirt path that runs alongside the sea, offering stunning views and a chance to spot dolphins close to shore. It stretches from Calafia State Beach to North Beach and passes popular surf breaks like T-Street. The trail also leads to the iconic San Clemente Pier, where visitors can enjoy snacks or cocktails at Fishermans Restaurant and observe anglers reeling in fish.
Beautiful beach! The pier is awesome. One of my favorite places.

Colleen S — Google review
A one-of-a-kind gorgeous walking trail that runs parallel in both directions to the beautiful darker turquoise ocean waters. Truly lovely landscaping, very thoughtful addition of amenities (restrooms, pet stations, restaurants) and many magnificent residential structures aligning the often sheer cliff sides of the trail. Parts of the trail feel a bit more isolated even though you are just feet off the beach shores with lots of people relaxing and frolicking all along the coast. Please be prepared to greet several folks walking, jogging, cycling, and walking their pets along this trail which is 2.3 miles long in each direction. Highly recommended although please don't forget to bring your hats, sunglasses and sunscreen with you as there is almost no shade anywhere along the trail
Ajay N — Google review
Great place for a run. No dogs, few kids and few bicycles due to the fact that most of it is hard packed sand... In San Clemente, west-to-east you have the ocean, the sandy beach, the Amtrak rail line (not many trains go by but they do have safety gates that go down) and THEN the Beach Trail that I ran on (there is a portion if you head south from the pier where the trail is before the rail bed, but you cross over after about 1/2 mile)

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!

Doheny State Beach is a charming beachfront park situated near the scenic San Juan Bay, managed by the State of California. Accessible via Dana Point Harbor Drive and Park Lantern, it features two distinct public beach areas divided by the picturesque San Juan Creek. The beach offers opportunities for swimming, beginner surfing, and stand-up paddleboarding with gentle waves from the nearby bay.
This is such a beautiful beach, and park. Great camping amenities. My favorite thing about it is the covered picnic areas with grills, and fire pits. I attend 12 steps meetings here and absolutely love the energy with the ocean in view, it's a wonderful location to focus on recovery.

We had such a wonderful time at Doheny State Beach! We came with our 3-year-old son and it was the perfect spot for a family day. The beach is clean, safe, and easy to access. The waves near the shore are gentle, which made it great for little ones to splash and play without us worrying. There are plenty of picnic areas with shade, which made snack time and breaks really comfortable. Our son loved running around in the sand and watching the surfers further out in the water. The bathrooms were well-kept and convenient to get to, which is always a huge plus with a toddler. We also appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere—lots of other kids and families enjoying the day, but it never felt overcrowded. It’s such a relaxed environment, and parking was simple too. We’ll definitely be coming back. Doheny State Beach is now one of our go-to spots for a safe, fun, and stress-free beach day with our little one! 🌊☀️👶

We stopped there during our morning walk to the beach, and while used to the coastline beaches, we really enjoyed our time here. Besides being conveniently located within Dana point, it has a decent surf spot, highly frequented though and a few good amenities (picnic area, toilets…) - there is also a large paid parking in case you drive down there.

There is a lot to love about this beach. Super clean restrooms, easy access to the cafe, loads of picnic tables and bbq pits, and more. We absolutely loved our time here and will be coming back. The only knock is the beach is very rocky if you plan to get into the water you need booties.

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.

You have got to be kidding if you consider anything other than a one or two star review. They should rename the course the pastor or the gopher valley course. Absolutely not worth more than five dollars to play. Fairways are in horrendous condition and underwater greens are the only thing that are here. This is no reflection on staff. They are extremely nice. I will say the sandwiches are five star. There must be over 1 million go for mountains on this course and that is not an exaggeration

Mission San Juan Capistrano, a landmark Spanish mission founded in 1776, is a must-visit for anyone interested in California's rich history. With historic exhibits, cultural events, and a gift shop, the site welcomes over 350,000 visitors annually. The mission was originally founded by Saint Junipero Serra and features a museum, gift shop, cafe, and an iconic bell wall that is still rung daily.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mission at San Juan Capistrano The Mission at San Juan Capistrano is hands-down one of the most romantic venues in California. Its history and architecture bring so much character to every wedding. The aged stone walls, grand arches, and blooming gardens are a photographer’s dream. There’s a sense of timeless beauty here that makes every couple’s gallery feel both historic and personal. It’s the kind of place where love stories become art. ✨ If you’re drawn to the beauty of San Juan Capistrano, I’d be honored to capture your wedding in such an extraordinary setting.

This is a good place to visit if you are interested in California mission history. The original building was destroyed by an earthquake in 1812, and the church ruins and a variety of other original elements remain. Renovations in the 1970s brought reproductions of the many buildings, rooms, and a small chapel. There are beautiful gardens, and a museum gift shop. The swallows don't visit like they used to due to so much activity in the area. It cost $15 to enter, and we were there for about an hour

Alright California!! This Place is Cali Gold. The Historic Value of this place is Second to None. There is so Much History in its relationship to the Development of California. The grounds are very very well kept and the Guided tour is a must to get the most out of this Mission. Visit the Chapel on sight and the Ruins of the Original Chapel. Wow it's incredible. Great for Photos, a Date Day, and exploring for the whole family. Don't miss it. It's incredible and a must see for everyone!

We had the opportunity to photograph S & K's first look at Mission San Juan Capistrano, and it was truly a dream setting for capturing timeless portraits. From the soft stone textures to the iconic arches and bell wall, every corner of the Mission offered a stunning visual backdrop. The light was beautiful throughout the day, filtered, warm, and natural, ideal for both candid and editorial shots. There’s a peaceful, historic charm to the space that elevated the emotional energy of the first look, creating a moment that felt private, sacred, and cinematic. We would highly recommend the Mission to couples looking for a location that combines California history, natural beauty, and elegant architecture. It’s a gem for storytelling. — Anastasia

Mission San Juan Capistrano is one of my favorite places to visit because it holds a lot of fond memories for me. There have been many changes to the mission - especially after the pandemic. The East Gate is no longer open. You have to go through the tour to get into the original chapel. This was the side entrance we used to enter through when we went to Sunday morning Mass as a family. I love that the original Serra Chapel is still intact so visitors can marvel at the intricate details of the altar, handpainted walls, wooden pews, and the St. Peregrine Chapel. The grounds are also well-maintained and I especially love every bit of Mission San Juan Capistrano. Some of the newer things I liked was how they cleaned up the fountain and added koi fish. Overall, I love MSJC and how much of its history is preserved to this day. It’s a beautiful site to visit and to pray. I also always end my visits with a trip to their gift shop. The ladies who work there are wonderful.
Wendy L — Google review
What a beautiful, well maintained mission! Although there is now a fee to enter, it’s well worth the price. You can spend an hour or a day just walking the gardens and visiting the chapel. At the exit, there is a church store fulled with books, cards, collectibles, and other artifacts. It’s a fun outing! We are glad we took the time to visit!
Roni W — Google review
This is such a beautiful mission. My kids had a fun time walking/running around and exploring. We were on vacation for my son’s Birthday and they gave us a discounted price because of that ❤️ Some of the areas were not easily accessible with our stroller - so my husband and I had to lift the stroller and carry it up the stairs to get around to the area on the path (the walkway was blocked due to set up for an event). Thankfully we could do that. We probably spent about 2 hours here. I do want to revisit with my kids and see the things we didn’t spend much time looking at. There is plenty of parking around - outside you just have to drive around to find it.

This is a beautiful and well taken care of Mission. Lots of stories told here about the indigenous people and how this Mission was successful and created things for trade.

We took our 2yo grandson to the museum and were pleasantly surprised on how engaged he was with the exhibits. We arrived at 10am and there wasn’t a wait to enter. Their main museum area is a huge hangar! Don’t hesitate to go through the hallways (AC was great!) for additional displays. We liked that the glassed collections were from floor to ceiling to allow little ones to view items. For viewing the outdoor planes & helicopters we wore comfortable shoes. Due to the warm weather we brought hats and bottled water.

Great museum! Many many aircraft, way more than I anticipated. Google didn't do it justice so I've added more pics. If you are into short wave radio, TV, and electronics check out their display devoted to their history. The SR-71 was really awsome. Many displays you can experience. Also displays of space hardware, U.S. and Russia.

My daughter, her son and I visited on 9/27/2025 about 11:13a.m., they opened at 9:00. The man at the entry, taking payment, was super friendly. After we stepped out of the ticket area we were greeted by Fred, (maybe his title is docent?) He had a lot to tell about areas we don't want to miss, and a small, more personal, story, too. He was fun to listen to. He had a great sense of humor. My grandson is almost 4, so he was interested in different things than I was. His mom took him about, but we reunited in different areas. So much history in there! Then we took the tiny bus, $5 per rider. This man was amazing! He took us past each airplane on the field, describing the vitals & history of each plane, while adding a bit of humor on occasion. Great touring voice and so filled with info! It was a great tour! If you are a plane buff, but maybe don't know about ALL of these planes, it's a great guided tour. The bonus was no walking! 😉 Enjoy!!!
Lori B — Google review
This has been a hidden gem of a museum. Went here on a whim,but I never expected to see so many and such big aircrafts up close. Could have spend days if I wanted to thoroughly see it all. I saw most of my favourite planes on display here, absolutely beyond my wildest dreams. (SR-71,B-17,B-25J) But the collection is far greater than that. On the outside of the museum there's more planes than I have ever seen together, and the bus tour is a recommendation. Have a chat with the staff and volunteers, they have great stories to tell, and real life experiences. The nearby active airbase also has some interesting activity. Inside there's a lot of history on display from all kinds of era's of aviation, from uniforms to replicas to actual spaceshuttle parts! Must see for any aircraft enthusiast.
Dutch D — Google review
Took my son over fall break and there's so much to see. The staff and volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a little 45 min. tram tour around the outside planes for a small extra fee, but it was well worth it as the gentleman that provided the tour gave us so much information about each plane and it happen to be raining quite a bit outside. Its much bigger on the inside than you anticipate, with a NASA section, military outfits and so much more. There are flight simulators and even an old war plane where we had a gentleman by the name of Max who used to be a pilot for that type of plane instruct him how they would have taken off in that fighter plane. They also had a scavenger hunt that my son was quite invested in. It also looks like you can rent parts of the facility out for events. I would recommend taking the time to visit this treasure.

Riverside National Cemetery

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Cemeteries
Riverside National Cemetery, located near the March Field Air Museum, is a significant resting place for veterans. As the third-largest cemetery operated by the National Cemetery Administration, it offers solemn grounds and ample space for eligible members of the armed forces to be buried. Established in the mid-1970s and spanning 1,250 acres, this serene site opened on Veterans Day in 1978 and now holds over a quarter of a million graves.
My mother's Air Force funeral service was exactly what she would have wanted. It was dignified and paid honor to her time serving her country. I especially want to thank Ester, who works for the cemetery. She was professional and made us all feel respected. The Air Force representatives who folded my mom's flag and saluted her were women. It warmed my heart to see that, because I know it would have made my mom proud. I especially loved it when Ester announced that my mom's military service paved the way for future generations of women in the Air Force. THANK YOU!

A beautiful cemetery. Well-kept and beautiful landscape, waterfalls and the employees are very helpful, kind amd respectful. We had our family members ceremony here and the entire process was amazing. I love how its huge and right next to the museum as well.

It is "closed" after sunset, but that's because the cemetery is largely unlit by any man made sources of light (except around the buildings and on the flags which are lit). Just stars, the moon, and any ambient light from the main streets outside the cemetery. We left after twilight and the gates were still open for people to enter and visit their loved ones. No one was chasing people out. At least not too quickly.

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.

Absolutely gorgeous grounds, very peaceful and serene. It would be nice if location (section) markers were a little bit more visible, but I understand they are trying to maintain the natural beauty of the land.

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

Located in Redlands, California, the Lincoln Memorial Shrine was built in 1932 to honor the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Designed by architect Elmer Grey, this memorial houses a vast collection of artifacts, manuscripts, and personal memorabilia related to President Lincoln and the Civil War. The shrine has expanded over the years and now includes two new wings added in 1998. It is dedicated to promoting equality and fighting social injustice through its exhibits.
The Lincoln Memorial Shrine has interesting artifacts. I particularly liked the letters written to home. The docents were very nice and knowledgeable.

Redlands Bowl

Mentioned on

Amphitheater
Sights & Landmarks
The Redlands Bowl is a historic amphitheater located in Redlands, dating back to the 1920s. It was a gift to the city and continues its tradition of offering free music and theatrical performances to the public. The venue hosts various events such as the Redlands Shakespeare Festival in May and the Summer Music Festival from June to August, featuring diverse performances from around the world.
My family has been going to the Redlands Bowl for 40+ years! They accept and encourage donations, but they never charge for their summer program. Twice a week during the summer they have the greatest performances of all kinds! I don't live in California anymore but I come to visit nearly every summer and I love to attend the Bowl!!!

Amazing experience. This was my first visit to the Redlands Bowl. The performances are free. The grounds are clean and seating is awesome. Parking can be found in the surrounding neighborhoods. Restrooms are clean and well stocked. Snacks are available for purchase. Very peaceful and lively crowds. Come early, for best parking and seating.

FREE LIVE SHOWS! Yes, you heard that right, The Redlands Bowl is home to a long-running summer festival that hosts live entertainment at no cost! Voluntary donations are highly suggested as this amphitheater has NEVER charged since its opening and it's been around for over a century! Donations are excepted in cash (a bucket is passed around) or through dip (tap). I love the quality entertainment and magical performances I get to experience here each year! I've seen The Texas Tenors, Mariachi Divas, Broadway and AGT talent and so much more on this stage! The musicians that show up are wonderful! It's recommended to come early as some shows fill up fast. You can opt to sit on the lawn but it's limited. The benches are a bit tough so I would recommend bringing a seat cushion. The Bowl is very strict about NOT saving seats for others, please be courteous and don't do it. The Redlands bowl is now a part of my yearly summer activities! It's a good place to come with friends or even by yourself! The ambiance is kind of rocky as a lot of patrons are older, white folks with entitlement issues. However, I've noticed more young people are coming so hopefully the vibes improve! Some of the staff are hit-or-miss especially the info desk peeps, they need to be more welcoming! Parking is available at the mall on Citrus or the lot across from the mall (also on Citrus). Parking is FREE. If you're craving a snack, the Redlands Bowl partners with some people called the Optimus Club who sell popcorn, ice cream and drinks if you're interested. Restrooms are available by the Gables House. Overall, I highly suggest visiting, some of the shows are a bit old-fashioned but most are good!

Fender Factory Tour

My wife and my son took me here for my birthday a couple of years ago. One of the most memorable birthdays I’ve had. When you’re a guitar nut especially a Fender freak like myself, visiting the factory where this iconic piece of musical genius is created is like a trip to heaven.
Jeff R — Google review
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.

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.

Occasionally, a Japanese guide will be provided, but in general the tour will be guided by factory staff. Please note that you cannot enter with sandals.

Guests can enjoy live performances by various bands and DJs while sipping on perfectly crafted drinks served by friendly waitstaff.

Had such a fun night tonight with all the ladies having a good time there. Much love to all of you & GOD Bless
Kelise H — Google review
I mostly love the Tukut. I love all the servers, DJ's, entertainers, and everyone who works there. One reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the price for the tables is exuberant (imo). $75 for a table for two is not reasonable. Friday nights feel different now. It's not terrible, and they do have some really good cumbia bands, BUT the atmosphere is not as vibing. Some ppl go upstairs to the Chingon because its free cover charge, and it's free seating. Maybe they don't care? Same management? At the end of the day, it's a business to make money. That's understandable; I just don't think that upper mgmt thought about how some of the loyal regulars would interpret their price hikes... I probably will always still visit, but Tukut does not offer more than other casinos. For example, the Saboba and the Pechanga both have dance places that offer free cover charges and free seating so if I can, I'll drive there instead. As a matter of fact, the dance floors at other venues are bigger and roomier. That being said, overall the Tukut is still a good place, especially the ppl who work there. I find everyone to be polite and helpful. You'll also find forever dance friends that go often. Just be prepared if you tire easily, because you'll have to fish out money just to sit. As a side note, it's also hard to contact them and they don't always respond to email. I'm now giving Tukut 5 stars because they recently stopped charging for their bottom tables and to me, that says a lot. Thank you mgmt. I appreciate that very much! Much love to Tukut!!

Nestled within a national park, Lake Arrowhead Village is a charming lakeside destination offering an array of eateries, shops, and events. The village provides stunning views of the lake and mountains as visitors stroll through the bustling downtown area. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are various trails to explore, including the family-friendly Heaps Peak Arboretum Trail and the more challenging Deep Creek Hot Springs hike.
It’s a beautiful place! Everything is in one — nature, charming shops, cozy restaurants — there’s something for everyone. The view was breathtaking, even in the cold. The way the clouds drifted over the water was absolutely magical. I’d only been here in warm weather before, but this visit felt truly special.

Beautiful place and Good people. I had a wonderful experience they have some BOMB food! Only downside is that the stores are low-key expensive. 60-80 dollars for a sweater. But good souvenirs! I went during the summer and during the winter. Both are amazing times to go! 💯/10

The village was underconstruction as they are working to rennovate the little shopping area! I highly recommend walking around the lake and checking out all the little shops! The lake was absolutely gorgeous and clear and you could see all the fish and the ducks! The stores around the lake sold delicious duck food (for the duckies friends of course). So many people had their dogs with them and the shops also had water bowls out for the dogs which was so thoughtful. All the shops didn't allow pets in the store but allowed service animals of course.

It is a delightful destination for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful escape. The picturesque views of the lake, surrounded by lush pine trees, create a serene and beautiful atmosphere. The village offers a great mix of activities, from boutique shops and local artisans to restaurants with lakefront dining. Whether you're in the mood for a casual stroll, enjoying live music, or indulging in some delicious treats, there’s something for everyone. I especially loved the boat tours—they give you an incredible perspective of the lake and its surroundings. Parking is convenient, and the village has plenty of family-friendly attractions, making it a great spot for a weekend getaway. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or simply soaking in the views, Lake Arrowhead Village is a perfect destination for all ages.

There's a variety of shops here from clothing to food to an art gallery. Nice view of the lake. Some shops have duck food so you can go out and throw food at the ducks and also watch the huge rainbow trout swim just underneath the water. There is also a lot of construction going on so hopefully they'll be more different types of businesses here. A lot of people walk dogs around the area so maybe a pet supplies shop.

Went to a race in February of 2023 and it was a fantastic experience. Besides getting in which was just waiting in a long line of cars, the racing experience itself was fantastic. The food options were endless, there was a pretty solid selection of merchandise. It was a very entertaining race and the best part was Kyle Bush (the winner). Definitely sad they’re turning it into a short track, but still happy I was able to see track before the renovations. 10/10

Lake Gregory Regional Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, Lake Gregory Regional Park covers 84 acres dominated by a man-made lake surrounded by pine trees and trails. The park offers various outdoor activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, and biking. Visitors can enjoy the swim beach and engage in water activities like kayaking, paddle boating, and float tubing. Additionally, there are dog parks throughout the area making it a pet-friendly destination.
I travel around the world frequently, and this park with its beautiful lake is truly a gem. The walking trail circles around the lake for 4 miles, offering a refreshing experience. Many people come here to fish, while others enjoy the park with their dogs. It’s a stunning piece of nature with fresh air and a vibrant atmosphere. There are restrooms located at specific spots throughout the park, and the parking lots are spacious and easily accessible. This is one of the most beautiful parks and lakes I’ve ever seen in my life, right in the heart of nature. I genuinely loved this place – it’s absolutely worth visiting!
HAITHAM A — Google review
I absolutely love this lake and it’s become one of my favorite getaways. One of the best things about it is the trail that loops around the entire lake, complete with workout stations along the way. There’s nothing better than stopping mid-hike to get in some pull-ups or a quick stretch while taking in the lake views. I also love coming here to paddle board. The water is usually super calm, which makes it perfect for a relaxing paddle or even a picnic on the board. There aren’t many motorized boats around, maybe just one or two small ones at most, so it always feels peaceful and safe. There are lots of people fishing, too, which gives the whole place a laid-back, friendly vibe. And when the summer heat kicks in down in Riverside, this lake feels like the perfect escape. It’s cooler, breezier, and feels like a mini retreat just a short drive away. If you’re looking for a spot to work out, paddle board, or just unwind in nature, this lake is definitely worth a visit!
Silas S — Google review
I went there the day after Labor Day this year and had the lake to myself. They have kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards and power boats for rent. The whole place was so serene and you could hear nature all around you without motors or other distractions. For parking, I recommend getting the app that they link on their permit to purchase time. I needed to add more time and it was easy to do it from the kayak instead of going to the parking lot. The park is well kept and they have plenty of activities for you to do even when the water park attractions are closed. Enjoy nature. 🌲

We had a great time at Lake Gregory with friends. We arrive around 9am to get parking in the main lot and get in line. When the gate opened we were in a good position to place our tent in a prime spot. Since we were meeting friends, we connected two tents for everyone (about 30 people). We headed straight for the water course. Those who get in early before max capacity is reached don’t have to wait in line and they get to stay out longer. As the park reaches full capacity, they make the overflow wait in line and limit sessions to 30 minutes. One word of caution. If you are an adult, it doesn’t take much to launch your child (see video). My child won the belly flop contest, but was comforted by the cool video our friend took. Food is edible, they run out of ice cream flavors early and bathrooms are a longish walk from the swimming area. There is a slick of sunscreen on the water from all the bodies in there’s This is not the place to go for a quiet, pristine beach day. This is a fun place for kids and groups!
Ann C — Google review
A nice spot for a fun day trip with the kids or dogs. If parking at the main parking lot, you will need to pay. Additional fees if fishing or boating. There are other areas of the lake that are accessible if you park along the side of the road. Dog park, hiking trails, beach area & restrooms are also available. Family friendly.
Naomi C — Google review
The kids had a ball, except The lake should limit how many tickets they sell. It’s $33 dollars for the day to use the bouncer and the slide and there are so many people that you have to wait 30 minutes in the sun in line. When they are at capacity. So either lower your price or control the crowd that is allowed to be on the lake. Parking is horrible. Lots of walking. Food was good and restrooms were clean. We will definitely go again but rethink how we go about it.

A very serene little lake! Peaceful, quiet, well managed, with an easy short ~1.5mi hike around it and a boat rental facility. We went out of season. It's a hidden gem that we enjoyed a lot more than lake Arrowhead, which is a crowded tourist trap lined with docks instead of ducks! I expect late Gregory might be more crowded in the summer when they have the floating bounce castle. We went in October.

The museum showcases artifacts, audiovisual materials, and documents related to Nixon's political career, from his visit to China to significant events like the Vietnam War ceasefire.
The library is a beautiful and historic place. It offered a lot of information about the man and his accomplishments. Unfortunately the great work he did was overshadowed by Watergate. The library is built on the property where he was born. Their home is on the site in it's original location. Most of the furnishings are original. Great place to visit.

Very interesting and informative look at Nixon's career and life. Didn't know anything about his personal life, or honestly many of the good things he did during his presidency. The exhibits are modern and very well done. Watch the video at the beginning, it's a great introduction. The order of the exhibits is interesting but it worked. And we liked ending on his childhood home and the helicopter. The grounds are nice. There's really nothing too ostantacious here. Other people mentioned how nice the docents were and it's true. They're very nice and knowledgeable.

Candlelight performance was better than I thought. Really cool atmosphere and music. Beatles theme tonight. Cool performance with a mini bar. Easy parking and getting in.

Incredibly well done. So much to see and learn here. The museum includes Marine One (President's helicopter) and a full-size replica of Nixon's Oval Office. Believe it or not, Richard Nixon's childhood home (and birthplace) are on these grounds.

An incredible and comprehensive Presidential Library. Densely-packed with information, it tells not only the story of Nixon, but the time in which he lived, led, and ultimately faltered. The museum does not shy away from Watergate and the reckless decisions he made, which I appreciated. A complicated and tragic figure in American history. The helicopter is undergoing renovations so could not been except through a gate which was disappointing. The museum starts with his administration and then explores his childhood and rise to power, which was an unconventional choice that is interesting if not a bit counterintuitive. Highly recommend visiting!

Drove across country to see this Museum. Got to entrance and was told only the Gardens was open. I asked why? It was due to the Federal Government shutdown. This absolutely made no sense to me. I asked why would a self guided museum tour be closed? I was told that the government owns the displays in the museum. Eight Dollars to go though the gardens. I was also told that the gardens were open and the house that the President was born in is open as well. Marine One was also open as it was next to the house that he was born in. I asked if I could use the restroom as none where insight of the lobby/entrance was told it would be a Dollar and I would have to go through security. None of this makes any sense to me. Especially the restroom part. Took pics from outside. I’ll problem get a bill for taking the pics, so enjoy.

Beautiful performance at an equally beautiful venue. The performers played a great selection of songs from Coldplay and Imagine Dragons with a little introduction to many of the songs. This is always a fun event and not our first time with Candlelight Concerts. Young and old were there tonight and we look forward to seeing another show from Fever and Candlelight Concerts.

Attended a concert at the Nixon Library in Orange CA. The quartet played Fleetwood Mac and they did so beautifully! The candles made the venue look all the more cozy and dramatic, the whole experience was wonderful.

Pretty awesome place. Youve got the Library to study at, the gym to workout. Then there's my favorite bar at dog house with a good bite to eat. The bass pro isn't far away and the movie theater is always an option too. Plenty of parking and plenty of stores to visit.

Knott's Soak City

Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Knott's Soak City is a must-visit waterpark located at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA. It features 23 waterslides, a 750,000 gallon wave pool, and a 1/3rd mile lazy river. The park offers separate admission from Knott's Berry Farm and is open from May to September.
Is really fun here. I Love the water slides, especially the one where you can get in with the whole family. The lazy river is super big and fun. There's a ride where you slide on your belly. Overall I think Soak City is the best place to go for summer. ( Reviewed by my 9year old daughter)

We celebrated a birthday. Food is $40-50 per person. Very few trees, and we had to sit in the sun all day. That's the only unpleasant thing. We waited for a few hours for a place under an umbrella to become free. A boy started drowning in the waves, and the rescuers saved him. They did a great job. You can trust children! Thanks to the rescuers.
Sirin M — Google review
We visited Knott’s Soak City on a Sunday with our three kids. Overall, it was fun — but there are a few things to know in advance if you want the best experience. Parking was a challenge. It cost $35, which we expected, but by noon it was completely full. We spent nearly 20 minutes circling the lot, and the one-way parking lanes were poorly marked and confusing. Our kids got discouraged thinking we’d have to leave, but luckily we caught someone leaving and followed them to their spot. The park itself is lively but packed, which is understandable for a hot summer weekend. We started with the Lazy River — unfortunately, it wasn’t very “lazy” without a float. Only about 20% of people had access to float tubes, and the rest were standing around or wading through. The real issue though was the flooring: the surface was extremely rough. My wife and I both got cuts on our toes, and all three of our kids had scrapes or cuts on their fingers. It felt like walking on coarse sandpaper — something we’ve never experienced at other water parks. That said, there were still plenty of enjoyable areas. The slides were exciting, the wave pool was great for the kids, and the splash zones were well-designed and shaded. We noticed some families brought in their own food and drinks (smart move), but we didn’t — and paid high prices for basic snacks and drinks. If we return, we’ll bring water shoes and pack our own cooler without question. Final verdict: There’s fun to be had here, but you have to plan ahead — especially for float access, food, and foot protection. The park needs to address the flooring issue seriously; safety shouldn’t be compromised. That said, our family made some great memories, and with better prep next time, we’d be more ready to enjoy it fully.

Fun in the sun and it couldn’t have been more perfect for my kids since they love the water, me, not so much! I recommend coming to the water park on weekdays as there are less people and you can get more rides in. Park open at 10 and most people are lined up by 930. Parking is 35, if you are local, probably uber there is cheaper. I recommend getting a food pass for 51$ as you can get food every 90 minutes and drinks every 15 minutes. Once’s you get in find a place to park your stroller or wagon. They do allow you to bring in food and water , which is so good because my kids find American food harder to chew bc it is drier. Plenty of smaller playground for younger kids. Get on all the rides first thing and then do lazy river and wave pool. Pack extra towels and a picnic blanket bc there is a place to do that! We barely used the chair bc after being in the water, the kids were cold and needed to dry out.

We visited Soak City on a weekday during the summer and it was very busy—seemed to be at full capacity. We arrived later in the day, so finding available seating was tough. I’d definitely recommend bringing your own chairs and an umbrella for the grassy areas. Getting through security was a bit of a hassle—my keys, phone, and the zipper on my toiletries bag triggered the scanner and turned the process into a full 5-minute ordeal. Once inside, the atmosphere was fun and family-friendly. We enjoyed the lazy river, and although there was about a 10-minute wait for floating tubes, it wasn’t bad. Food-wise, the pizza line was long, but the cafe with burgers and fries moved much quicker. Unfortunately, my phone got ruined—next time I’d bring a better waterproof pouch or just leave it in the car. Overall, we had a great time and I would definitely visit again!

Main themes: tidal wave, floating village, lots of fund with little kids facilities, various straight and spinning slides, recommend a seasonal ticket, be prepared with a soft wet flip flop, walking on all pool areas seemed spiky and get bleeding easily, maker sure you get sun burn protection, drink lots of water, stay safe, security teams were sufficient and reliable.

Had a wonderful time with my kids. The wait in line was no more than 15 minutes on some slides. The food was very expensive. I do not recommend eating there, especially if it is a big group. The pizza was $66! Our favorite ride was the Lazy River and The Wedge.

Dinner theater
Step into a world of chivalry and excitement at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, where the spirit of the eleventh century comes alive! This immersive experience features thrilling jousting matches, impressive horsemanship, and breathtaking falconry displays. Guests are treated to a delightful four-course meal served without utensils in a grand castle-like setting. As you dine, watch knights clad in armor compete for glory while horses perform stunning routines that showcase their training and elegance.
Our group of 45 had an unforgettable night at Medieval Times in Buena Park! From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like royalty — making sure everyone in our large party was seated together, comfortable, and part of the excitement. Every detail was handled with genuine care and enthusiasm, which made coordinating such a big group completely stress-free. The show itself was absolutely spectacular. The knights, horses, and performers gave it their all — the energy, the choreography, and even the crowd interaction were top-notch. The food was delicious (and fun to eat without utensils!), the drinks were flowing, and the cheering never stopped. You could feel the joy and engagement from every member of our group, from the kids to the adults. We left grinning ear to ear, talking about the black and white knight’s escapades and already planning our next visit. It’s rare to find a place that blends entertainment, hospitality, and a sense of shared adventure so perfectly. Medieval Times Buena Park delivered an experience worthy of its crown — we can’t recommend it enough! 👑⚔️🐎

My husband and I took our four teens to dinner. It was quite pricey, but alot of fun. The main meal was pretty good and we all enjoyed it. The servers were quick and the food came out hot. The dessert however was very lack luster! Normal meals got a small eclair which was terrible. I upgraded our tickets when we arrived, which included a dessert upgrade to cake. The cake was also terrible. It was a dry vanilla cake with gritty frosting on it. I was pretty disappointed as the upgrade was pretty expensive. The show was a fun idea; however, i did note that more than one horse seemed overly stressed. However, I observed the riders regularly reassuring them and giving treats. I did not see any inappropriate handeling of the horses and they were all of good weight and appeared healthy. It is EXTREMELY loud! I wouldn't spend the money again, but it made for a fun memory.

Was seated with Res Knight. He was the clear dominant knight of the whole group. Despite revealing his rebellious association with the Catalan off shoot he really screwed up the reveal and ended up having all the knights turn against him. If he was smart he would have behaved himself during the joust. Then, when the time was right he could have snuck behind stage and slayed the king. The Queen clearly wanted his D so she would have probably been ok with it. Instead his hubris got him slayed and he didn’t get the girl. Also, it’s ridiculous how much money. Medieval Times is printing. The novelty of the utensiless food was fun as a child but coming back as an adult, my $75 experience was probably a $3 meal. If you are going to continue with that, that’s fine but I think they should replace all the amplifying recorded music with live musicians. They can certainly afford it and it would really go a long way to help with the immersion. Plus I am sure everyone would love to jam with a talented bard.

My family and I have been coming here for years. I have not been since they have redone the story. So this is as of Nov 8th 2025. This was the best show I have ever gone to. We paid for the VIP for my son's birthday and got front row. We had the black and white knight. Dude was Jon snow but the American version. He picked up on our energy (first timers read: Get loud, have fun, cheer non stop) food was amazing! I don't know if it's nostalgia but I could drink a gallon of the soup. Fights were longer and seemed better choreographed. The king and queen were top notch, falcon showing was way longer than in previous years and they really got close! The whole thing was amazing. Also our chancellor dude was like 7' tall and you could tell her wasn't feeling all that well but he put on a great show. (As a fellow tall person it's great to see tall knights) I had so much fun, my family had so much fun, our knight gave my daughter a rose and a sash.. she won't stop talking about it. Just the best time. If you can afford it, please treat yourself. It's absolutely amazing.

My children and I went on a field trip with our charter school recently and let me tell you, those kids had so much fun! It was so interactive and entertaining. They got to eat with their hands and scream at the top of their lungs cheering. So they had a great time, would recommend to families who had kids who can handle loud noises, darkness at times and RP fighting.

The show, 'Secrets of the Deep,' features thrilling stunts, aerial acrobatics, swordplay, and special effects that keep the audience engaged.

My friends and family went. We were a group of 35. Very accommodating. I think the staff had a hard time to pinpoint who the leader of the group was. There was a miscommunication with the picture taking. The food was alright, I like it better at Medevil Times. The show was good and long too so it's great for kids especially. I would recommend and come back again. I'm not sure if I would come back as a group of 35 again.

We had such a fun time at Pirates Dinner Adventure! From the moment we walked in, the energy was high, the atmosphere was exciting, and the staff was welcoming. The show was action-packed, full of acrobatics, sword fights, and even some audience participation—which the kids absolutely loved. Our whole family (kids ages 5, 7, and 14) was completely entertained from start to finish. The performers were engaging and kept everyone laughing and cheering. Surprisingly, the food was also really great! Everything came out hot and well-prepared. We especially enjoyed the roasted chicken and the dessert was a nice finish to the meal. Overall, it was a memorable experience that we would highly recommend for families looking for a unique and fun night out. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Great experience! The show, atmosphere, drinks, and service was great! The food was alright. However, they do have options if you are vegetarian, vegan, and/or have dietary restrictions. My husband and I were asked to be a part of one of the games during the show and that was a lot of fun. The alcoholic drinks are strong! You get the keep the glass the drinks come in and if you decide attend another day, bring the glass and you get your drink at the refill price. I would definitely see this show again. I highly recommend it!

Look, the only reason that I'm giving the food a 4 out of 5 stars is because I wish the main dish was a bigger portion. Other than that, the food was delicious. It's a good thing (for me at least) that you can order various appetizers to add to your meal. And the 6 appetizers that my family and I tried here were equally as delicious. I especially enjoyed the fried calamari. As for the cocktails, I enjoyed a few rounds (since my wife was driving this evening) and each cocktail was just as delicious as the previous. Also, each one was made with double shots, so they were particularly potent... for all you out there who enjoy a nice, strong drink. The show and entertainment are the biggest draws here. The various acts and performances were all entertaining and delightful to watch. The musical numbers were all well done and were a joy to watch as the performers did their absolute best during each act. The overall story is a tad predictable, but I still found myself engrossed and entertained by the end of the night. It was especially fun to see all the audience participation during the show, with extra fun as I watched all three of my kids get in on the fun as they were called up to the stage to assist during various acts. (A big shout out to Antonio, the Yellow Pirate, whose section we were a part of this evening. He was particularly fun to watch and cheer on.) One thing I especially want to point out was the quality of the service we received. On this particular night, our server was Wendy, and she did an excellent job in getting us out drinks, meals, and desserts in a speedy manner. And she was cheerful and delightful every time she came by our table. Hopefully, when we return, we'll have the pleasure of having her as our server once again. (Seriously, a big thank you Wendy, you were the best!) A family night out here can get a bit pricey, but for the food, entertainment, atmosphere, and overall experience you will have here, I think it's well worth the price. My family and I left the show already planning for a return visit before the end of the year.

this dinner adventure is amazing. the atmosphere is so detailed and the stunts are beyond fantastic! the actors are so fun and great with both kids and adults- kids are constantly let into stage/boats in a great, interactive way! definitely worth the cost- additionally, surprisingly, it’s a musical! fantastic singers, actors, and especially stuntmen! the strength of these actors are unbelievable!
Neil C — Google review
Such a wonderful place! The staff and actors are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The show starts right on time (or very close to it), and everything runs smoothly. I recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to really take in the atmosphere. There’s a gift shop at the entrance — not the cheapest, but full of fun items that add to the experience. We purchased VIP tickets, and they were absolutely worth it! Sitting up front kept my 3-year-old and 1-year-old completely entertained the entire time. The food was good — not Michelin-star level, but definitely solid and satisfying. Overall, a great outing for families with little ones. Highly recommend!

Awesome museum and quite a find while I was at the fair last week! So many dragsters, funny cars in roadsters from the nineteen fifties through the early nineteen eighties, I would say, brought back so many memories of when I was a young lad building, racing motors and drag racing. Employees and volunteers are very friendly and willing to talk "shop talk" the exhibits are well organized and well cared for. Highly recommend!

The LA county Fair Was a very gloomy yet beautiful day to be able to enjoy the attractions, games, rides. The crowd was not to big so we did not have to wait very long. Was a good experience
J G — Google review
I wanted to share with you my recent experience at the LA County Fair, particularly the Mother's Day visit with my daughter. I must say, the fair exceeded my expectations in many ways. From the wide array of exhilarating rides to the diverse food vendors and charming bars, the fair had something for everyone. The cleanliness and family-friendly atmosphere were particularly impressive, making it stand out from the fairs I've visited in the past. One aspect that stood out to me was the apparent sense of safety at the fairgrounds. Despite the absence of a noticeable police or security presence, I felt secure and at ease throughout my visit, which speaks volumes about the overall security measures in place. However, I couldn't help but notice the high prices of food and beverages, which I found to be a downside to an otherwise enjoyable experience. The steep costs took away some of the charm for me, prompting me to reconsider my spending choices while there. In conclusion, I would rate my LA County Fair experience a solid 7 out of 10. If you're in search of a lively and family-oriented outing that offers a wide range of activities, the fair is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for the higher-than-average costs that come with the territory.

Well it's the LA fair. It got smaller and more expensive. There were a few people, it wasn't as crowded as past years and it was pretty expensive. I noticed people weren't buying them turkey legs cause they were $20. Drinks started at $15 for beer and $18 for mixed drinks. We took an ice chest with food and water so we didn't spend money inside except for a $9 corn in a cob. They didn't have as many art expositions as past years, it was mostly vendors.still it was enjoyable.
