Had a wonderful time at the Aquarium and extremely thankful for the volunteers giving a thorough 90min tour of the facility. I felt like a kid again and learned many new facts! I only took one star out because they are renovating the main area with live animal displays and was a bit disappointed I would not be able to experience that. Can't wait to go back when the work is complete. :)

Aquarium is free, but donations are welcome 🙏 Awesome place to go with the family! You can touch baby sharks 🦈 The nursery and educational center is fun to observe. It will only get better in the Fall of 2026. Consider going to the gift shop it's full of great suveniors,toys,baby items, and more.

It might be small but it has some engaging activities. Great when you want a free place to visit. Parking was 1$ per hour so pretty cheap. It's also near a beach which is within walking distance.

A very family friendly (and adult interesting) aquarium that only asks for a donation. All sea life is from our coast and is very educational and a hands on experience. I would highly recommend taking a day trip. San Pedro also has a free trolly that takes you all over town where you can experience all that San Pedro has to offer. And there is a trolly stop located in front of the aquarium.

great place to take your kids to. they have a movie they play at a scheduled time and afterwards have an activity. theres an interactive learning center with shells and preserved jars with an animal inside that, and a tide pool with tonss of life, like starfish, sharks, crabs, abalone and sea cucumbers to look at up close. next door theres a lab that helps with the conservation of red and white abalone due to being endangered. the main aquarium wasnt open while i was there but i enjoyed the parts i saw. parking is 1 dollar per hour and across the way is the beach. i went on a sunday and it wasnt very crowded. great place.

I don't normally give five stars, but I was very impressed by the aquarium. Right now they're taking admissions by donations. Meaning that there's no fee to get in. It's under renovation. There's an impressive, incredible puppet show. The staff are great and the exhibits were relatively decent. Not bad for again, after giving a $5 donation. I hope to see what comes out soon. The great highlight too was feeding abalone.

Can't wait to come back to support this aquarium, everyone there was so passionate about preservation and they were extremely informative about all of the creatures! There's also a lot of things to do if you have kids

What a fun experience! We had a great time. Food could use some help! Good thing Porto’s is next store lol. The staff was amazing. All the little extras are nice and all the sword variety was kinda cool to see. Definitely be prepared to spend money on the gift shop!

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.

First time here and I really enjoyed it. Food was good, service was excellent and the show was awesome. My 8 year old and I were screaming and cheering the whole show. Definitely would recommend to go check it out.

The seating was tight but the food was good. The atmosphere was fun and entertaining. We had a blast with our school group. There are fun extras you can purchase like swords, hats, drinks that glow and tons more!

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.

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.

The show was interactive and fun, food was mid but i really enjoyed the tender roasted turkey leg. The mash was boxed and veggies, frozen. Service and performance, excellent. Great for children and families. Used the discount code and got seated in the far left corner, with the worst view though.

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!

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!

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.

such a fun place. came here for father’s day. snack bar food is reasonably priced. you’ll want to bring cash to place bets. bring your own pen or pencil to mark your race day program. there is seating in general admission area but bring a parasol or big hat to keep out of the sun. this venue will allow you to bring in your reusable water bottle && they have stations where you can fill it with water for free.

Great history and grounds, beautiful day. Security staff was kind and helpful with information. Staff at South entrance was rude and unhelpful when we asked where we go to just see the park, we were aware it's off season but wanted to check out the area for fun. Also, grounds opened at 9:15 and we were unable to watch the horses breeze, contrary to what the website said (5:30-9:30 training should be open to the public)

i thought the horses were racing based on the website but they only race on weekends 😔 the security let me in for free and said i could roam around but security might ask me what’s up, so far no one has so that’s good. it was a little confusing to find the track and i found the betting room first, but the track has a cool mountain backdrop and the grounds are cute as well. it was really a 3 star experience but i think if the horses were there it’d be 4 so i’ll bump it up.

Beautiful venue with plenty of shaded seating. Came on a Friday and admission and parking was free. They do sell food onsite but know that the food prices are exactly as you'd expect from a sports venue. There's multiple TV's for viewing the race if you're not outside and they also stream races from across the country. Betting machines give you the option to bet on races not held at Santa Anita. Each and every race holds a level of excitement and the atmosphere always feels electric. If you've got the time and you want to enjoy something simple like horseracing, I'd recommend this track. Obviously, no expectations to bet but still enjoyable without putting money on the line. Note: There are two different machines. One for placing money on a voucher and another for actual betting that you insert said voucher into.

I went to Santa Anita Racetrack on Belmont Stakes Day! 6/7/2025. And they had a car show in the infield. I had no idea that this Bomb Club Car Show was going to be this Spectacular. There were 500 cars on display with tons of So Cal Car Clubs. They had vendors, food trucks, wrestling and live music. I like how Santa Anita has a huge screen with seating, so you can watch the races and we’re able to watch the Belmont stakes race. I will definitely be back. The whole day went smoothly and it was a major success.

We went to Santa Anita Park on a Friday afternoon since there was no school that day. Admission was free, which was a nice bonus. Because it was a regular workday, the place wasn’t crowded — calm and quiet overall. One thing to note: there was only one live teller on-site. Some machines were for vouchers only, and no one seemed to be using them, which made things confusing for first-time visitors. There weren’t any staff around to help explain how it worked, so it took us a while to figure things out. I put in $6 for my kids and placed a show bet. Their guess was right — two of the horses they picked ended up finishing first and second. It added some fun and excitement to the visit.

For Memorial Day weekend they had a carnival inside the track. My two littles had fun. We tried the food, we bet on horses, we met and touched some of the lead horses and even got to greet the outriders who were very friendly. They let us take photos. A kind lady had carrots and she taught my son to feed one of the horses. We appreciated that. We visited the gift shop and got two small horse plushies. The gift shop has so many things I would love to gift to my hubby!! Gave the kids the grand tour of the clubhouse. Got them a turkey sandwich for all of us to share - we couldn’t even finish it with the 3 of us - there was so much thick cut turkey! Rode all the rides, played all the games, were there from 1-7 ish. No line to get in, up front parking, easy betting. On the way out we were given two giant cotton candy bags from another kind lady, thank you.

beautiful large garden with lots of different sections full of plants and wildlife. also saw fish, turtles, frogs, and peacocks! they also have a cafe and a small gift shop. only con i’d say is this place is so big that it’s a little hard to navigate or tell where you are. i went here for the queen anne house and was pleasantly surprised with everything surrounding it. $14 for a student isn’t bad.

I had such a wonderful experience visiting the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia that I felt compelled to share it. This place is truly a hidden gem in the San Gabriel Valley—a perfect escape from the noise and rush of everyday life. From the moment I entered, I was amazed by how peaceful and beautifully maintained the grounds are. You can tell the staff and volunteers put so much care into every detail. The Arboretum is huge—over 100 acres—and every section has its own charm. I started my visit near the main entrance and immediately noticed the gorgeous peacocks roaming freely. They add such a magical touch, especially when they fan out their feathers or call to each other across the gardens. It felt like walking into a living painting. One of my favorite areas was the tropical greenhouse. The variety of plants and the humidity inside made me feel like I was deep in a rainforest. The waterfalls, orchids, and vibrant greenery were stunning. I also loved exploring the desert garden with its unique cactus and succulents—it’s amazing how they manage to thrive side by side with lush palms and water lilies just a few steps away. The historical Queen Anne Cottage and the lake nearby are must-sees. The cottage looks straight out of a movie (and in fact, it has been featured in several!). The lake area is so peaceful, with ducks gliding across the water and peacocks strutting along the path. I found a shady bench under a tree and just sat there enjoying the view for a while—it’s the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time. What really stood out to me was how clean, organized, and family-friendly everything was. The pathways are wide and easy to navigate, so it’s perfect for strollers or wheelchairs. There were plenty of rest areas, clean restrooms, and signs that make it easy to find your way around. I also appreciated that the staff were friendly and knowledgeable—they were happy to answer questions and share interesting facts about the plants. The gift shop was another pleasant surprise. It’s filled with unique garden-themed items, books, and plants you can actually take home. I picked up a small succulent and some local honey as souvenirs. The café had light snacks and drinks, which was great after a few hours of walking. Overall, the Arboretum is a perfect spot for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone needing a peaceful day outdoors. Whether you want to take a scenic walk, learn about plants, have a picnic, or just unwind, this place has something for everyone. I left feeling refreshed and grateful that such a beautiful, well-kept garden exists right here in Los Angeles County.

A-MAZE-ING Arcadia Escape! If you haven't been to the **LA County Arboretum in Arcadia**, you are seriously missing out on Southern California's best-kept secret—if that secret included 127 acres of pure tropical chaos and roughly 200 very loud celebrities. It is absolutely gorgeous. You can wander through a primeval jungle (where they actually filmed *Tarzan*!) and then stumble upon the historic **Queen Anne Cottage**, which is famously the house from *Fantasy Island*. So basically, you're hiking through Hollywood history with better air quality. But the real stars? The **peacocks**. They are everywhere, they are stunning, and they have zero concept of personal space. Expect to be dive-bombed by feathers and judged by their intense, glittering eyes as you try to enjoy your picnic. They are the most majestic, spoiled, and dramatic birds you will ever meet, and they are worth the price of admission alone. SN: Admission is free with Snap/Calfresh benefit card! **Go. Get lost. Take pictures. Just don't make eye contact with the peacocks, or you'll owe them your lunch.**

This place is beautiful. It's a big place that's great for exercising and looking at all the cool trees and plants. There are a lot of peacocks and geese. There's a nice big water fall in one area and if you walk up the stairs, you'll find a smaller water fall. You will see some fish and turtles. They have a big water fountain where the geese hangout at. Overall, I usually spend about 2 hours here. Wear walking shoes. Bring water and bug spray. It gets hot in the summer and the bugs come out at night. The free parking lot is fine until they throw an event. That's where you may have a hard time finding parking.

This place is really cool. If I lived locally I would be a member for sure. There's always more to see with the seasons. There are paved areas that are very easy to traverse and most of the unpaved areas are pretty smooth. There are ample places to sit and water fountains.

It’s very spacious and beautifully planned out. It has a calming vibe and plenty of spaces to sit with nature. I have lived in Los Angeles my entire life and I had no idea this place existed until a recent google search. I’m very grateful to have found this gem.

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens is one of those treasures that feels almost impossible to believe exists in the middle of Los Angeles. Spread across 127 acres, it’s more than just gardens—it’s a living museum of plants, architecture, and history. You can easily spend an entire day wandering the themed gardens: the waterfalls tucked into lush greenery, the expansive succulent and desert gardens, the tropical greenhouses, and even the peaceful bamboo groves. Every corner feels like a different world, and yet it all flows together into one incredible open space that makes you forget you’re minutes from the freeway. It’s also a cultural hub. This weekend I attended the Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale, one of the best plant events in the country, filled with knowledgeable growers, amazing specimens, and pottery that blurs the line between art and nature. But beyond the special events, the Arboretum is always worth a visit. The historic Queen Anne Cottage (famous from TV and movies) is a beautiful centerpiece, and the Baldwin-era architecture scattered throughout gives you a sense of California history alongside the natural beauty. Families will love the wide-open lawns and trails, kids are fascinated by the free-roaming peacocks, and plant lovers can get lost in the collections for hours. An annual membership is a no-brainer—it’s not just admission, it’s access to one of the most inspiring and restorative spaces in Los Angeles.

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.

(Translated by Google) A sacred place for guitar lovers. I think the tours were every Thursday. Be sure to make a reservation. 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. (Original) ギター好きには聖地そのもの。 見学は毎週木曜だったかな。かならず予約して行きましょう。 たまに日本人のガイドがつく事もあるそうですが、基本的には工場のスタッフがガイドしてくれます。 サンダルでは入れないのでご注意を。

We had a great time! The lines moved as we expected for a Saturday. The slides were super fun! Loss of star for two attractions being closed. The drop out slides and the pool where the Lilly pads are. Food was good, lots of choices for all lifestyles. Overall a great time!

I visited the water park recently, and unfortunately, the overall experience was quite disappointing. The park feels very outdated — a lot of the infrastructure looks old and definitely in need of renovation. The rides themselves were okay — nothing too special, but they did the job. Unfortunately, it was hard to enjoy them because the waiting times were extremely long. We had to wait between one and two hours for almost every attraction, which really tested our patience. There was hardly any shade or seating in the waiting areas, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. Overall, the visit was underwhelming. For the price, we expected a lot more — especially better crowd management and perhaps some more modern attractions. If you’re planning to visit this park, be prepared for very long wait times and a rather outdated experience.

A place that’s even better than I expected. Although the ticket price is a bit expensive and comes with various additional fees, buying a ticket that includes a meal makes it relatively more affordable. There are all kinds of water slides, and it’s a great spot to visit occasionally during the summer. Just be careful of sunburn and slipping.

My family had a blast at Raging Waters.💜We visited September 7, 2025. The parking was $25 and you ride a shuttle to the park. The ticket line wasn't long you scan it at a kiosk. The lines were kinda long but not as bad as some say. There is something for everyone to enjoy.Will come again next summer!

This review is based mainly on hygiene, food, and amenities. The park all in all needs a good cleaning. Since there aren’t enough places for people to settle their belongings, nor for grandparents to rest while waiting, one must search for an empty little corner, but what one can find is trash, food containers, and forgotten items. Not very welcoming for the elderly that just go along to be with family. The bathrooms are filthy and the stench of urine is terrible. Power washing is not enough with the amount of people they allow in. There are many good cleaning products for example Ajax with beach, Clorox, etc. and the work wonders when used with a brush. The food, we paid ahead with the ticket and we regretted it. First, the wait in line at Sharky’s was 45 minutes!!! For nasty, extremely salty hard french fries and dry chicken tenders. The waffles were toasted and there is nothing other than catsup for the $16 dollar average size hotdog. We only rode 3 slides, visited the beach and river for 20 minutes each.

Was a pretty cool water park. Gotta get there early to avoid the lines. Parking is a rip i think . $25 for general parking which is like a mile away. You have to take a tram to the park. Or 75$ for preferred parking which is right next to entrance.

There are a lot of different rides and slides, which makes it fun but you will always have to wait long lines (unless you have the expensive VIP tickets). It would be a 10/10 experience if we didn’t have to spend 75% of our time waiting in the lines. The staff were very friendly and helpful. You can rent the overpriced lockers to leave your belongings. There are plenty of showers and bathrooms.

My Father is here and the entire property is so beautiful. The office managers and those that manage the grounds are simply wonderful and keep the entire area the way in which one could only imagine. Heavenly blessings to us all

BEAUTIFUL to see how our Beloved MILITARY are honored. I can't visit my Grandpa's cemetery right now so coming here I can pray for him and all our Loved ones. GOD bless our Country and thank U to ALL our Soldiers! 🤗🩵✝️🇺🇲

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

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.

All I can say is go and check this place out. If you love planes and military artifacts it’s a must see. The guys who work here are some of the nicest people I have met! Took my son who is 14 and we had a great time! The amount of things they have at this museum is unbelievable!! I would highly recommend a visit!! Thank you gentleman it was a pleasure!

The March Field Air Museum is by far one of the best museums I have ever visited. It's been almost 30 years since I last visited and they have definitely put a lot of love, dedication and pride into this place. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in our Air Force and military defenses. It's a great place to bring kids and learn invaluable history. 10/10 would recommend.

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!!!

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.

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.

Love this mall which is mostly outdoors. The stores have cold cold A/C and the grounds were very clean for as many people were there visiting. We enjoyed our experience and found even the large parking lots accommodating and convenient.

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.

On a visit to nearby Express for men we visited a Chinese food restaurant called Seven Grams. The food was so good, you can taste the fine ingredients. The staff is very attentive and their smiles seemed genuine. The price was just right for the taste and quality and quantity.

We always love to come and shop at Victoria Gardens shopping mall. It's more upscale compared to other outlets. Many stores and food courts. Some cars cruise by with high speed! Make sure you look around before crossing.

Good place to walk and shop with family. During the Christmas season they dispense fake snow in the central plaza and place a ginormous Christmas tree with lights all around. Open late good selection of restaurants and fun activities around.

This is a fantastic outdoor mall location. Well placed with a great mix of classic well known shops, great eats and mom and pop shops. There is a theater and plenty of sitting areas, parking and fun things to see. There are surrounding stores and restaurants to visit as well. Ample parking and close to freeway.

This a Truly, amazing experience at Victoria Gardens, very very captivating during the Christmas season, with the trees and lights shinning in the night, songs Caroling, Shops busy and bustling with people, as we're approaching to the end of the year 2025. Time does fly, but in the end, it's a really good memory you and all of you will never forget, and "*Most wonderful time of the year*"

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

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.

🏁🏁🏁🚘

This is no longer here regularly , try rusty wallce racing instead

The Redlands bowl is very historical to Redlands. I was born and raised here in Tedlands and have many memories with my grandparents and family going to watch plays and live music. It's a great community place. Located down town near the historical library and Lincoln shrine.

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.

First time at the bowl since we moved to the area and it was great . It was full but everyone was polite and we found seating. Next time I know to arrive early. The music and visuals were lovely and relaxing since it was the perfect temperature to be outside.

Feeling so grateful for the magic of the historical Redlands Bowl—bringing world-class entertainment to our community and reminding us of the power of shared experiences. In times like these, gathering under the stars with music and connection feels like a true gift. 🎶✨ #RedlandsBowl #CommunityJoy

Bring friends and family along with a picnic or buy snacks from event vendors (and seat cushion as the benches are wood) and enjoy an outstanding venue under the stars with exceptional music/performances. A delight for all ages and one of Redlands many charming delights.

Fantastic. We enjoyed our dinner and a drink in the park. Great evening dinner picnic.

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!

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!!

Never met a man who’s so disrespectful and impolite and Ignore me just because I have 15 mins before close time. His name is James . Super disgusting and disrespectful. I had the guys that fix the beers Sergio before him . They called him and he walked up and said I’m not serving you. What kind of employee does this: he hid behind the bar after asking his name multiple times .

Great service and atmosphere will be going back

We were there Saturday September 28th, 2019. 10 dollar cover charge with players card. Limited seating and the BOE (Best of everything Band) was great. DJ Gary is one of the better old school DJ's that you will find. We had an Excellent night out! Will be back to visit soon.

I love the Tukut Lounge!! Please bring back The Reel Band on Saturdays!! And the DJ that was there when they performed on Saturday, May 20, 2023! Great Band! Should be on the rotation for Saturdays and not just for Karaoke, What a waste! The 2 solo/leads were OFF THE CHAIN!! May I also request The BIG BAND ON SATURDAYS AS WELL. They were there in 2022, about a year ago and haven’t been back since. Thank you, 347806, Diamond

Horrible. Went for what I thought was a free concert then found out we had to pay a fee. Super Small area. I was willing to pay the fee but then was told that I was not allowed in because the dress code doesn’t allow sandals without a heel strap… RIDICULOUS!!! It doesn’t even say anything about their dress code on their website OR at the place!!!!

Nice lounge, dancing music - mix of Latin music and r&b. (Went on a saturday night 1130 to 130) Drinks are very weak. Go to rock and brews first, they have strong, good drinks.

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!

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!

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.

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.

🏞️🐾 Lake Gregory – Crestline, CA 🐾🏞️ Loved this place! 💖 It’s super pet-friendly 🐕🐾, perfect for an easy scenic hike 🌿🚶‍♀️. The lake is beautiful 💦🌤️ and there’s so much to do — you can kayak 🚣‍♀️, paddle board 🏄‍♂️, or let the kids enjoy the water park 🎉💦. Whether you’re here for a day of adventure or just to relax by the water 🌊☀️, it’s the perfect mountain getaway. Plenty of fun, fresh air, and gorgeous views! 🌲✨

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.

Went up the "scenic sky chair" lift as a summer activity while on vacation. If you are on vacation and looking for another activity to do with the kids. I paid $86.00 for three adults and a 12 year old to take the lift to the top. We were hoping to do some hiking but there were only two trails available and they are not shaded so we didn't do much. There is a restaurant at the top and food options but it is also a great place to just bring a picnic and enjoy the views. During the summer it is a huge mountain bike area and almost all of the people going up where bringing their bikes. The basic ticket only allows for one round trip. I wish it was unlimited as the views coming down are awesome.

Everything was a great experience! Parking guides got us in a space quickly. Getting our tickets and bikes on the lift was a breeze. Awesome variety of trails to ride on well marked trails. The good is reasonably priced for being at a resort and better than most places I've experienced. I'm already looking forward to my next trip here

We had a great time at Above the Boom! It does get a little chilly. So, as they recommend, dress in layers. Also, even though it said no food and drink. A bottle of water and maybe some kids snacks seemed acceptable. They were not overly strict. We supported them purchasing our tickets, and additional beverages including water.

We always come here whenever we visit Big Bear. The resort offers year-round outdoor activities. The things you do here are unlimited, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter, to mountain biking and hiking the rest of the year. There are several different dining options from fast-food to more upscale bars and restaurants (opening times vary with the seasons). One of the activities we like to do in the spring and fall is taking the chairlift to the summit and enjoying the view while eating lunch. There is plenty of parking along with a multitude of stores, ski/snowboard rentals, a child amusement center and plenty of trails for biking and hiking.

Terrible experience. Came here from Vegas for my son‘s birthday. Got a rental bike and immediately first run down the brakes are already worn down and just super loud. I took a relatively easy way down and when I got to the bottom I noticed one of my spokes had come out. My chain also came off but I didn’t notice it until my second ride down. So I’m just trying to get down the mountain at this point cuz I can’t pedal and then I get down and they tell me the derailer needs to be replaced and I can pay $110 to get my bike back. And I’m like all of this happened on one ride down and now I have to pay $110 after already having paid $200 for the day. I fought it so hard, spoke to every person there that I could about getting my bike back or at that point just getting a refund and leaving, no leniency whatsoever. The bike rental experience there was absolutely miserable, the bike i was given was terrible. Do not rent from this place. Also, my son’s ride card was deactivated at one point and we had to go back to the ticket booth to get a new one. last so much time just trying to get going. If I could give negative stars I would. Spent all this money to come up here just for the bike to break down after one green run.

The bike repair shop did a great service for my bike! Joshua found the problem, repaired it, and explained how it should be shifting. Took it for a test ride and shifting was perfect! At a fair price!!! Thanks guys!

Great bike park, shredded all day. I just wanted to mention Nancy, the food handler because she was rude and mean. Great learning experience. I brought the kids and they loved it, blue trails were so easy and fun. Good jumps flowy and food was good, but Nancy wasnt.

Beautiful place to come and visit. Totally worth it even though it's not as big as a huge museum, but the history and stories in there make this place unique. If you are seeking to go back in time, this is the place. They have plenty of souvenirs, T-shirts, and even drinks to buy from, and at very good, affordable prices

No fee to get in, donations gladly accepted! I'm so glad we stopped, it was a very cute and interesting museum, full of California history! Kids loved it too, so many things they had no idea were common in our homes back in the day! The ppl working/volunteering there were friendly and knowledgeable! We had fun!

This museum was a fantastic stop for my family and I. It is free to visit and was filled with multiple historic artefacts from the route 66 past. The shop was also excellent, it had keychains, magnets, T-shirts, caps, stickers and signs. I highly recommend buying a piece of memorabilia. The museum itself was very interesting and told the story of route 66 very well. There was lots of history vehicles and signed posters which was great to see l. The staff were also fantastic. They were friendly, informative and welcoming and went the extra mile to give us suggestions on where to stop next. I highly recommend visiting this shop/museum if you are driving past it.

Awesome, flashback to the past..so many memorabilia..and the vibe of the store is definitely worth...kids had a great time too.

Super dope little spot to come by and see antiques/relics of route 66 local to the area!! Theres multiple photo ops inside and the workers are so informative and helpful. Theres a giftshop as well

We stopped here on our way to Vegas. It is free. The staff is very welcoming. We got many souvenirs from there at very affordable prices. The place has so much history to show. Kids loved the cars displayed there. There is also a train station just opposite to the museum. Luckily kids got to see two trains during the visit.

We arrived just as they were opening and were ushered in by a gentleman with a HUGE smile on his face! All the docents were so helpful! They were obviously excited to be there and ready to share their knowledge. So many fascinating things to see. There is a nice selection of items (shirts, stickers, memorabilia) for sale. As with other reviews, we were initially concerned about the people hanging around near the parking area. They did not bother us at all though and were gone by the time we left. So happy we took the time to stop here.

This is a wonderful place to visit, regardless of whether you live in Big Bear or just here for a visit. And if you have children, they will love the experience. According to what we read online, this zoo is one of two Alpine zoos in the United States, which provide a refuge for wild animals that cannot be released back into the wild for a variety of reasons as well as specializing in the rehabilitation and release of local Alpine species. They also offer educational training programs, special events and exhibits concerning their mission. There are restrooms onsite along with a gift shop and free parking. Just beware that the zoo does not open until 1000 hours, and in the warmer months, you might not be able to see many of the 190+ animals they have since it is sometimes getting too hot during the day. We will try again this fall when the weather is cooler. We did, however, get to see a wonderful bear education demonstration with one of the trainers and Eleanor, what an informative speech by the trainer. We even witness just how fast a bear can move, which was an eye opener for all of us present. We highly recommend this zoo for people of all ages and appreciate all the staff in their efforts to care for these animals and educate the public.

Visited the zoo for the first time and LOVED it! We spent about 2 hours at the zoo, casually walking around to learn & observe the animals. The bears, especially the grizzly, were the best! Caught most of the presentation on the skunks which was super interesting. The little skunks were fun to watch scurrying around for the meal worms while the docent shared a wealth of info. At the end, we decided to become annual members so we could visit the zoo & Big Bear more often. The cost of 2 adult tickets was $34 ($17 each), but you can buy a couples pass for the year for just $90. Looking forward to our next visit!

We visited on a Friday afternoon. Upon a recommendation by a local cashier, we visited around feeding time (2pm-ish). Although it is a small zoo with only locally indigenous creatures, every animal was out and visible, some moving about, some lounging. Gift shop prices were reasonable, compared with other gift shops. The premises were clean and festively decorated for the holidays. Also there is a $1 discount ea. for a group of 10 or more.

Not a huge zoo but perfect for a quick outing with little ones. Plenty of room to look at the animals. We never felt crowded. Everything seem well maintained and the zoo grounds were clean. Plenty of parking. Clean restrooms.

This little zoo is very sweet, a fun little outing with the kids. My only suggestion is to go early in the morning when it’s cooler and when the animals are awake. We made the mistake of going in the heat of the day and many of the animals had found their shady spots, I don’t blame them! Definitely worth a visit!

Not disappointed at all! All of the animals were well taken care of. Even in the summer they had misters, fresh water and shade for all animals. Everyone looked well fed and happy and thats what I look for in a zoo! I understand that all animals were rescues which I love. 10/10 Zoo better for kiddos.

Very small zoo, $17 for adult but probably perfect for little kids cuz they have a cool playground in between. Hard to see some of the animals through the wire cages. And a few were deep so you couldn't see them at all from walkway

It’s tall, seems to be accurate! The first time I stopped, the man behind the counter was very friendly and took the temperature of the frying pan outside and it was only 126° not hot enough to cook an egg. Stopped by a few days later on my way back from San Diego and someone else was working and she was not very friendly. What may be my perspective of friendliness changed after being San Diego because everyone there is super recovery and friendly. Either way the giant thermometer is worth a stop if you like to see the world‘s largest things and get a souvenir. The variety of T-shirts is impressive. But if you don’t care for a souvenir, you can easily see it as you drive past it on the highway.

Summary - this is one of the strange things that you only find in America and it was extremely good and fun to see. There is a gift shop next door and the visit was made all the better by Billy who works there and was more than happy to chat about life, the universe and everything! It is, quite simply, a huge thermometer just off the main freeway. It's in a small and interesting town and we got there after driving through the Mojave desert. There is a quite large gift shop right next door which has lots of quirky interesting gifts. However the highlight was Billy who works there and was more than happy to chat about politics, people, the town, the thermometer and just about everything else! This made the visit very enjoyable. If you're in the area then please go and visit. You won't be disappointed.

Baker California is a super Quirky blip on the map. Here stands the world's largest thermometer and the UFO Hotel and Alien Jerky Shop. Definitely with the pull off as you trek to or from Las Vegas. You could even find You Tubes one and only #Wonderhussy out there.

Interesting place to stop and look at the thermometer. Best viewed from a distance. You can't read the temperature from close up. There is a cool Alien type restaurant over the road too.

Pure Americana roadside attraction. Must see for Route 66 and other fans of a bygone age. Several other nearby attractions as well. DQ, Tesla chargers, and UFOs!

It's fun to stop and appreciate odd things. It's truly a tall thermometer. The gift shop is small but has a few expected items. Making silly memories along our travels.

Gentleman behind the counter was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Just little disappointed that the thermometer had to be replaced and is now just digital.

Jerky is always pretty good and they have a fun gift shop! Save some money when leaving Vegas or hit it on the way in cause it's easy to drop 50 to 100 bucks there, lots of fun stuff and tasty treats to buy! They added a giant UFO out back since the last time I was there not sure what their doing with that unless thats their way off this rock?

Alien Fresh Jerky has alot of novelty items to purchase but they really have a big selection on beef jerky. It's fun to just look around and see all different items for sale. Now they even have a UFO Hotel but we didn't get a chance to go inside. If your traveling from California to Vegas or vice versa then I would recommend stopping by and checking out all the cool and interesting alien merchandise and novelty items.

We stopped here on our way back from Vegas, and it turned out to be a really fun and quirky little pit stop! If you’re into alien-themed souvenirs or just enjoy checking out unique roadside attractions, this place is definitely worth a visit. The shop is full of all kinds of interesting and funny alien merchandise everything from candy and pickled garlic to T-shirts, sodas, and all sorts of novelty items you won’t find anywhere else. It’s one of those places that’s perfect for stretching your legs, browsing around, and having a few laughs while discovering all the weird and creative stuff they have. It’s a cool, lighthearted spot that captures that classic “road trip vibe,” and it makes for some fun photo opportunities too. Whether you’re a believer in extraterrestrials or just someone who enjoys checking out offbeat roadside stops, this is a great little place to visit on your way through!

Neat-lookin’ little place, full of all kinds of jerky you probably don’t wanna eat. If them aliens ever come down here, I reckon they’ll think it’s their own salty hide they’ve been sellin’.

I've stopped in Baker many times in my life on the way, too, and from Vegas. This is the first time I stopped at Alien Fresh Jerky. It was 118 degrees this day, and I needed a drink, and to stretch my legs. What a fun place. There are lots of interesting knick-nacks, plenty of drinks, souvenirs, and of course Jerry!

Out of This World Jerky! 👽🔥 Alien Fresh Jerky is hands down one of the coolest pit stops in the galaxy! We stopped by on our road trip and ended up spending way more time here than planned, and for good reason. The jerky? INSANE. So many flavors to choose from, and every bite was packed with flavor. Spicy, sweet, smokywhatever your taste buds are into, they’ve got you covered. The store itself is like a mini alien theme park. Giant UFOs, alien statues, and even a spaceship-looking building, it’s like Roswell meets roadside Americana. Totally Instagram-worthy. Plus, the merch and snacks are awesome too. You can grab alien hot sauce, freeze-dried ice cream, and all kinds of wild stuff. Definitely not your average jerky stop. If you're cruising through Baker, CA, do yourself a favor and beam into Alien Fresh Jerky. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s 100% worth it. 🛸👾🌌

If you need a break from driving, I’d definitely recommend stopping at Alien Fresh Jerky Novelty Store. It was a great little pit stop that gave us a fun break from the road. The store is packed with all kinds of quirky, alien-themed goodies to keep you smiling—from T-shirts, stickers, and stuffies to snacks, jerky, and all sorts of nick-nacks. If you’re into that alien vibe, this place is a must-visit!

The place says it's open, google says they are open, well after a 1 hour drive, I found out that this place was "temporarily" closed. This is the most dead mall or should I say area I have ever seen in my life. I still do not understand how some stores/buildings are even open! Its too bad they cut off that mall section, I would have loved to just take a look around. What a waste of time, unfortunately!

I've encountered a few dying malls in the past few years (casualties of COVID and shoppers moving to online purchasing) but this mall is completely dead. There is literally a single store (Sanithrift, a thrift store) still open, to include a completely vacant food court. The store faces are now used to display art, which is good but not worth a stop.

Highly recommend to visit! You will see amazing artwork there! I cannnot believe there is only one clothes shop left here.

I dont know how to rate this place, it used to be so full and vibrant and was an amazing stop on the side of the road.. now it is still and empty. Michael kors and a Thrift shop are still open inside of the mall at this time, but that is it. Bathrooms are still functional, and clean.

** Really fun walk if you have time to burn at the supercharger! ** Model example of physical depression. Honestly such a cool space! Walking through was a lot of fun but for very different reasons than the owners would like. This is the legal way to walk through an abandoned building! 😂 the art made it feel doubly so. I counted 7 stores “open”. In quotation because none of them were actually open and a few looked like they haven’t been open in a while. This place is just begging to be a ‘con of some kind. Comic-Con, anime-con I don’t know but something! It would be a great layout and no stores to get in the way. I plan on watching to see when the building is closed for good. Too bad.

This mall is very empty since covid affected its business. I thought it was cool walking through the mall as it gives off a vibe of being in a deserted city. There are maybe 5 or more retail shops here? I didn't count them. I enjoyed taking photos of this place.

Almost no shops are open, no decent food to eat. It's like a ghost town... UPDATE; I was here a couple days ago, at 11:30 AM, June 6, 2024. The doors are open, the lights are on. There are NO shops open. There were NO people in the building, except 2 young women who were amazed by the emptiness of the place. The mall is nice and clean, including the newly renovated bathrooms. It seems the owner can afford to keep this place open only because he charges $1,50 per gallon more for gas than it costs 25 miles up the road.

The room was not very clean. Carpet wasnt vacummed, pubic hair on shower floor, poop marks in toilet. Only one wash cloth in a two queen room. Sheets were clean and both beds made, so at least theres that. My wife joked not to breakout a black light (we dont have one). Air conditioning worked good all night. No dead bugs so thats why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Bottom line would I stay here again? Well at check in the charge was $93, whereby I was informed 50 of that was a security deposit and would be refunded. So the room was 40 something bucks. Not bad cost on a last minute saturday night reservation. We chose here cuz most the rooms on the strip were around $200. Not sure I would stay again, but it worked out cost wise for a spur of moment trip a day early to Vegas. Now we are off to Mandalay Bay for rest of trip. Just close your eyes or get drunk enough that you dont care. Good luck!

The ONLY positive thing was the front desk staff were nice. That’s about it. I don’t think I’ve honestly stayed in this awful of a hotel room before. The bathroom has a leaky shower, there is definitely hair still in the shower it’s nasty. The fan in there is broken so when you turn the light on it makes this horribly loud buzzing sound. Plus the ac thing is literally falling out of the ceiling. Next to that is a big bubble in the ceiling so who knows what kind of mold is there. Also door handle to the bathroom? Yea no that’s also broken in half! Legit no handle! Room was as bare as it could be including wires hanging from the wall where the fire alarm should be so if a fire happens your the last to know… uncomfortable beds and overall just gross.

I believe it's been closed and only reopened for the Keith Sweat concert that was going on... I wasn't there for the concert and while the concert crowd was lively, the hotel itself should close and never reopen again unless it is completely and totally remodeled.. While waiting to check in multiple people were at the front desk complaining of non working tvs, several people were booked to the SAME room as someone else... non working old air conditioners... check and it took forever...it was completely disorganized.. It's OUTDATED.. rooms are horrible.. There was some weird stain on the dresser top.. We had ONE face towel for our 2 person room. Tried to use the phone to call housekeeping directly and it didn't work.. Called the front desk and she said they'd be right up but they NEVER came .. The "casino " was more like a morgue... We were off-roading and just needed rooms for one night so I guess at $50 you get what you pay for which was less than the bare minimum... Hopefully they will remodel and give the place a major face lift otherwise they should never reopen.

Traveling for work and had a 44' Fifth Wheel in tow. Decided to book a room because of the intense heat and they offered truck parking. Check in was simple, desk worker was pleasant but not chatty. We was assigned a room (1408A), confirmed where to best park the truck/unit and headed to our room. When we turned the AC on it was rather loud but was blowing cold air. We both got cleaned up and headed downstairs for dinner. Once we returned from dinner the AC seemed to be having difficulty breathing and not blowing cold any longer. I tried calling the front desk but after several minutes on an automated hold went back to the front desk. The same desk worker assigned us another room, no real concern of the non working AC in the current room. We went back to 1408A to gather our things to go across the hall to 1409A. The AC was turned on while we moved things across the hall, about an hour later we called it a night. A few hours later, around 11 pm the room was warm and not was not cycling on. This time my husband went to the front desk, as I was overly tired and extremely irritated. A gentleman working thr front desk offered to send the engineer (maintenance) or move us rooms again. This time, we was given a room on the 1st floor, so we packed everything up again and moved. The pillows in the final room were awful compared to the prior rooms, bed was comfy enough but most importantly the AC operated as expected until we left at 6 am. The casino was pretty empty, only a few people playing on the machines. I did not see any live tables but I wasn't there to gamble. A lot of the attractions that once made this resort shine are closed, hidden behind dust and despair. I wish I could have experienced this place in its prime. Only photo I took was of Desperado All in all, I would stay here again (but request a first floor room) simply because of the commercial parking lot.

I'm honestly surprised this place is still open. There were not many people staying here on a Friday night. The facility upkeep has not been maintained and many of the "resort" amenities were not in service. Pool was closed because of high winds. It doesn't look like the roller coaster has worked in some time. The indoor river that is supposed to flow through the casino was dry. Almost all of the little food options by the Bonnie &Clyde area were shut down (it was 8pm on a Friday night). Entire casino and hotel smells like smoke. Don't go here unless it's your only option.

If I could give this less than one star I would. If you are here at any point during the week nothing is open. The casino is a depressing shell of what it once was. There was practically no services whatsoever, and at one point we couldn’t even tell if anyone was actually working there. The hotel room had weird stains on the wall and was super dusty. It was pretty clear it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The only plus side I guess was that it was quiet. It honestly feels like they are just trying to squeeze every last bit of money that they can before they close it for good. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, even if I hated them.

Casino was a ghost town. Sat down to order a cocktail, 5 minutes go by without service, we departed very disappointed. Not worth stopping at State Line after 30 years.

A great spot for photos and videos! “Seven Magic Mountains” is a free public art installation by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, located in the Ivanpah Valley desert about 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. It’s easy to find, parking is simple, and entry is free. We visited from Florida while staying on the Strip — definitely worth the short drive for the colorful desert views and unique photo opportunities.

✨ Only those with an artistic heart can truly appreciate such beauty- seven magical, colorful stones standing tall amidst a silent desert, surrounded by mountains. It’s mesmerizing to witness art blend with nature’s calm. Loved capturing every moment in this vivid oasis of color and serenity. 🎨🌈🏜️ 💡 Tip: If you’re going by Uber, ask your driver to wait for your return pickup. It might save you from paying extra for another ride later- most drivers are happy to wait for a small charge while you enjoy your time there. 🚗

Awesome spot in the middle of nowhere! But there was an ice cream truck there and you had to walk from the parking to the area! A lot of people Taking pics and videos but cool to see. There’s no sidewalk so it’s a dirt trail so make sure you’re wearing walking shoes..

Everyone's idea of art is different. This is a roadside stack of rocks that looks like it was painted by kindergarteners and they call it art. The artist, Ugo Rondinone's, book of work rings true the stones you see here. Child like vibrant colors with little vision or artistry drawing on the continued dumbing down of society and the diminished expectations of the viewer. As a people, we used to make beautiful things, now we stack rocks in the desert and paint them and call it art drawing thousands of people to see it; sadly me included. It's a very safe environment, with lots of different types of people stopping to check out and see what its about. There is usually a taco truck of some sort there to offer sustenance to hungry travelers. Me personally, I think that turning around and looking out into the desert is more beautiful than looking at these painted rocks. Go and enjoy!

Seven Magic Mountains, Ugo Rondinone's monumental art installation, is an absolutely stunning sight and a perfect, free detour from the Las Vegas Strip. Also the entry is FREE!! The experience is defined by the stark, beautiful contrast between the vivid, neon-painted stacks of boulders and the vast, untamed landscape of the Mojave Desert. The real star of the show isn't just the colorful rocks, but the immense natural beauty surrounding them. Looking out, the desert area looks amazing with rolling hills and a large, flat plain area that stretches for miles, offering unobstructed views of the distant mountain ranges. The entire setting is breathtaking and incredibly photogenic, making the drive completely worth it. It’s a powerful visual statement that brings together human creativity and the sublime quietness of the natural world, resulting in a truly beautiful view.

Such a neat place to visit. It’s definitely worth a visit if you have time to check it out. They were actually taller than I had imagined in person. It’s free and there wasn’t too many people. I would definitely love to come back soon.

A fun and colorful stop in the desert! The bright stone towers make for amazing photos, especially in the morning or near sunset. Free parking nearby, and usually not too crowded in winter. Quick stop, but worth it for the vibrant art and desert backdrop.

Impressive landscape! And that is the reason we came here to see an old Western-style Nevada town-themed attraction. Too bad we came on a Tuesday (their dark-days) but the staff allowed us to explore for free! Definitely a must see attraction if you want to get-away from Las Vegas and see something different and unique.

Always great spending time at Bonnie Spring's and great food after the fun.

I'm really sad to hear this place will be demolished to make way for yet more unwanted housing to facilitate corporate greed. This is(was) a great place to get away for a few hours, the restaurant was pretty good with decent prices, the jewel of their menu was most definitely the bison steak and the bison burger, not always available but worth the trip to find out. I've taken my kids there before and it was a great bonding experience, the town was fun to stroll around in and the shows and gun fights were fun. I wish I had gone more often. Oh and the place is haunted...I wonder if the ghosts will stay and haunt the new place....I hope they do....... Lol.... 👻

It says fully operational Wednesday thru Sunday. We are here on a warm December day. The only things open are the things that cost money like the shops. Wax museum is closed. Most exhibits are closed. This is probably the worst attraction for adults I have ever seen. The petting zoo was decent and the kids during busy season might love this place. As for adults, don't bother .

2019 Daughter n Mom Vacation!! 💌Best place to eat..🤙🏽enjoy family time.. Check out the wild animals... take a stroll in WW museum area... riding the train ...got to see the wild donkeys too... at least I got to try the Buffalo burger!! Yessah... bucket list ✅

Fun place to go to for the kiddos! There is a crooked house that is fun to walk thru! Liked the wolf! Right now it's a good time to go since it's not that hot! Did not eat at the restaurant (didn't want to wait 30 mins with 2 kids) BUT the burgers smelled so good!!

Took three car loads of young children and they loved it. Parked by the train so they could ride to the petting zoo. I was disappointed because the Tanka had passed away. Everyone that worked there were great.

Nice place to stay out of town away from the Vegas craziness. Overall vibe is very relaxed and surprisingly quiet. We didn't gamble so I can't comment on the casino. Easy to get in/out and plenty of close parking. The room was large with a nice mountain view. Room was clean, bed was comfy, though the room did look a bit worn/well-used, and there was some mold in the shower. There wasn't a microwave - we missed that - there was a small fridge. All the staff was very pleasant. Lots of amenities around - cafes, restaurants, spa, pool, etc. Food was just OK, not great, reasonably priced, so was worth it for the convenience a few times, but if you're looking for great dining, I'd look elsewhere. Would definitely stay here again for any off-the-strip activities.

We have stayed at the M Resort for the last 16 years. Needless to say we are very happy here. Number 1 on our list is Cathleen Regalado, our host. She is over the top in helping us out. I wish we could come more often to see her. Next is Roxanne R, our on floor cocktail waitress. Even though we only see her once or twice a year, she is jolly on the spot and always remembers us by name. She always puts our name with a smiley face on our coffee cup. She is very delightful and energetic. If we don't see her first, she'll find us. Next is Eduardo at Anthony's steak house and his assistant who fills our water glasses and helps out. Very delightful to chat with and they remember us too. There are others who are very nice. The check-in staff are pleasant too. Everyone working there is nice. Only downfall are the customers who pound on the slot machine thinking it will help. Annoying but gives us a chuckle watching them. Thanks again and see you next year. Hope to stay in new addition. Need new mattresses in original hotel. Dennis and Mary C

Vashth was great upon checkin. Very friendly & professional. Room was clean & well stocked w/towels, water. Each time we visit, we always go to babycakes to partake of the wonderful pastries-always a hit! The staff was friendly & accomodating! We actually ate at the Raiders tavern & grill- food as well as service was great! No complaints. We always enjoy staying at the M! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

One of the best hotels my husband and I have stayed in. The entire hotel & casino was clean. The staff were all customer friendly. Provided with excellent service. The food prices are reasonable and love they have late night food availability. Most definitely look forward to the next stay.

On Veterans Day, I decided to stay at the resort somehow or another. I dropped the keys to my house out in the west parking lot. I remember putting them in a bag of mine and zipping it up, but somehow they must’ve fell out and they were found by security. I can truly say job well done, and I greatly appreciate the time and effort of the person who turned the keys in to lost and found. 🙏🏻 The resort itself is a wonderful, quiet destination,great location,always clean, never smell smoke, and enjoy my time very much. Enjoy my stay every time I come to visit. Thank you again

I'm not really sure how this place gets away with charging a $40 resort fee, specifically on comp room offers and to locals but overall in general. It's incredibly far from the strip and I have absolutely zero motivation to pay $120 on a "comp". I would love to stay there on a staycation but that's just a slap in the face considering my resort fees are waved everywhere else on comps. It's a nice hotel but just sticks it to patrons with greed and it's almost never busy. I will visit much more sparingly in the future. Do better.

A first time Guest at this off the strip Hotel Resort but I am Totally Loving this place not just for its Beautiful Property (go check out the Awesome Pool area with a HUGE Tv screen for Sports) but also for its calm, relaxed atmosphere and the Wonderful, Wonderful Customer Service from All of the Staff here! From our Positive Dinner Experience at the Italian restaurant (ask for Jack, he’ll take care of you) to Brian at the Casino Guest Services area as well as the Wonderful Staff at the Vig Deli who are so Friendly, Interactive, and just Good, down to earth Human Beings! No craziness over here like the Vegas Strip—instead, just Enjoyment (Peace & Relaxation); Positive Vibes provided by the Wonderful Staff; and very Delicious Food Options at good prices that are all freshly made daily onsiteI I even Enjoyed exercising/ walking around the property where every staff member greeted me and engaged me in conversation and with a friendly smile! Thank you M Resorts for making our stay so Positive; we Enjoy your L'Auberge Casino property in Lake Charles and this location definitely Lives up to your High Standards of Customer Service! 👍🏽

Stop by the general store 1st! The owner will greet you, ask your intentions and give you important info about visiting. 😉 Worth the drive to see the history here; eclectic and somewhat ominous really. Drive 5 miles further to beautiful Lake Mead.

Well worth the visit, acres of collectibles, mine tours, wedding venue etc. If you are into vintage this is a great spot. Owners love on site and are very friendly. Has been the site of numerous movies, music videos, photo shoots etc.

Absolutely loved visiting Nelson Ghost Town! It’s such a unique and fascinating place with so much history and character. Walking around felt like stepping back in time—old buildings, vintage cars, and tons of interesting antiques and photo spots everywhere. The staff was super friendly and shared great stories about the town’s past. It’s a photographer’s dream and a fun little adventure just outside Las Vegas. Highly recommend stopping by if you love hidden gems, quirky spots, and a glimpse of the Old West!

Nelson is a must see, especially for photographers. There are some unwritten rules. Please be sure to stop in and see the owners first, If its just to give them a tip, or pay for a day of photo shoots, it's the right thing to do. The owners a friendly amazing people who have done a lot to maintain the town and its artifacts. Take a tour of the mine when they offer it. It is worth every minute, and it is cooler underground.

Amazing venue for folks who love the 'Wild West's, classic motor vehicles and memorabilia, and ghost town 'eerie' places... This place has also featured in many Hollywood movies so for the film buffs out where, this place ticks all the boxes

Nelson Ghost Town is pure magic! ✨ Stepping in here feels like traveling back in time – rusted cars, abandoned buildings, and the haunting beauty of the Nevada desert. 🌵🏚️ Every corner screams adventure and makes you reach for your camera instantly. The Techatticup Mine tour? Mind-blowing! ⛏️ You can almost hear the echoes of miners from the 1800s – history comes alive here. Whether you’re chasing epic photos, history vibes, or just a wild, off-the-beaten-path adventure, Nelson Ghost Town delivers BIG TIME. Don’t just visit – experience it! 💛

While in Las Vegas , I found out that there is this cool ghost town nearby , so we decided to check it out. As a photographer I had to get some creative shots of me , and my oh my , this place is full of incredible props ! For some it might be junk - but for me it was a gold mine !

We had an amazing day at Red Rock! The weather was absolutely perfect for our visit. We packed a lunch and enjoyed it at one of the scenic picnic areas while taking in the incredible views and spotting some local wildlife. I brought my drone and captured some stunning aerial shots of different areas — truly breathtaking! Red Rock Canyon is a must-visit if you're in Las Vegas. It’s only about 20–30 minutes from the Strip, making it an easy and worthwhile day trip. Be sure to stop by the Seven Magic Mountains afterwards — it’s just about 35 minutes from the Strip and adds a colorful finish to your adventure.

Throughly enjoyed the drive through the conservation area. Excellent scenic stops along the 13 mile loop. Wish we had more time for the hikes and trails. Definitely could spend an entire day there. Wonderful views and opportunities for photos.

I missed you very close to downtown Las Vegas. Staff was courteous and friendly. We got great recommendations for hikes around the loop. Quite busy, but still, no one traveling off the beaten path. A gorgeous place to go and visit!

We recently went to Red Rock Canyon and I cannot count all the times we have been. I do know this was our 34th time to Vegas so Red Rock Canyon has to rank in the high 20's of times we have been here. If you want to be close to paradise and away from the maddening crowds and noise of Vegas this is the place to go. The visitors center is the first chapter to the wonderful, lasting, memories you will be making. Here you will obtain all the information about the area from an infomation booth, litiature to read, and they also have talks throughout the day from learning about different animals who make this area their home, how the parķ was made, and much, much more. A walking area at the visitors center allows you to see tortoises in their natural habitat as well. The 13 mile loop you drive around the area will litterly take your breath away. There is a million photo ops throughout the area. Seeing burros, big horn sheep, tortoises, and different bird species is another plus. My husband, grown daughter and myself feel very blessed we have had so many opportunities to see this beautiful National Conservatory area.

I’ve been here countless times. I grew up hiking the trails here and still do to this day. There’s something special about the Mojave Desert, and this park specifically. Some of my favorite day hikes are Kraft Mountain for when I’m wanting a fun scramble, Ice Box Canyon / Lost Creek after snow melt in the Spring for some water, and Ash Spring for a peaceful stroll with beautiful desert views. Sunsets here are incredible and the view of the Vegas Valley is great anywhere in the park. There are also a few picnic areas/tables. All in all, a gem in the desert.

Red Rock Canyon is spectacular, there are easy hikes, a beautiful one way drive or challe going hikes. There is even a waterfall just a short hike from a parking spot. The visitors center is beautiful and at the beginning of the drive. Don't miss it. No refreshments however so bring you picnic with you. They do free events as well like star gazing.

My brother and his friends brought me here for a morning road trip, and we did the bike trail before that. Such a beautiful, well-preserved area! The rock formations are stunning— definitely a must-see if you’re around Vegas and looking for nature activities. 🌄

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Aaron G. Beebe — Owner of GonnaHappen Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa is one of my absolute favorite escapes in Las Vegas — the perfect blend of class, comfort, and natural beauty. Nestled against the stunning Red Rock Canyon, it feels like a luxury retreat while still being close to everything. The service is always top-tier, the staff goes out of their way to make every guest feel valued, and the attention to detail is unmatched. From the spacious rooms and relaxing spa to the pool scene, restaurants, and casino floor, everything flows together seamlessly. It’s a full experience — not just a stay. The energy is calm yet upscale, ideal for unwinding, networking, or entertaining guests in style. As the owner of GonnaHappen, I’m all about venues that combine lifestyle, entertainment, and hospitality — and Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa is exactly that. A true Vegas gem that reminds you luxury can still feel personal. #RedRockCasino #RedRockResort #GonnaHappen #AaronGBeebe #VegasLifestyle #ItsAllGonnaHappen

If you get the VIP experience, make sure you utilize the hotel vehicle service. We missed that detail and wasted money on Ubers. As of 10/25, Uber to the airport will run you around $50/ea. Other than that, this hotel is EXTREMELY clean. The food, whether at the hotel restaurants or the room service, is absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The casino was fun and had plenty of options for a fun experience. We attended a high-profile wedding held in the pool area, and it was the best wedding we've ever attended. Overall, the minimum rate room was around $500 per night and it was a luxurious experience. If you can afford it, give this resort a shot. They won't let you down.

We were really happy with our stay at Red Rock. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the room was clean and well appointed, the bed comfortable. Our view of the mountains was beautiful. Loved the pool and facilities. Many restaurants at all price points. You can find bargains, like the Lucky Penny $5.99 cheeseburger and fries, or the "happy hours" 1/2 price pizza and appetizers at the Yard House. The entire resort was spotless. This is our go-to for a stay in Las Vegas from now on.

I had a rude bartender experience unfortunately. Me and my friend ordered the $1.99 margaritas and when we asked for water the bartender gave us attitude and didn’t even give us our water and went about serving other guests. But the rooms are nice. Location nice. Food court is good. The movie theater is also super nice.

I absolutely love this place! It’s my favorite casino in Vegas. The décor and atmosphere are warm, inviting, and sophisticated. The bars and restaurants are exceptional, offering plenty of variety to satisfy even the pickiest foodies. The rooms are spotless, pleasantly scented, and feature a chic, classy design. If you’re looking to avoid the Strip, this is the spot I highly recommend.

We stayed here for two nights, arrived on Friday and left on Sunday. Understandably this hotel has mostly guests coming for gambling and entertainment. Friday night was very quiet, but Saturday night loud people outside the door on and off for quite some time. Walls are pretty thin if you are light sleepers. Also the room doesn’t have coffee machine or water heater, so you have to go to the Starbucks on the concourse floor to get coffee or drinks.

Red Rock Casino & Resort is a must stay off the Strip! Stunning views, modern rooms, and top-notch amenities. The pool area feels like a luxury retreat, and the dining options are incredible. Perfect mix of relaxation and excitement. You get the Vegas energy without the chaos!
