Wow! Breathtaking bridge that connects San Diego to Coronado. Access from San Diego Freeway. There is no access to pedestrians and cyclists due to the height. You're able to see the scenery of the bay area. Highly recommend if you love architecture. See San Pedro Bridge also.

The San Diego–Coronado Bridge, commonly referred to as the Coronado Bridge, is a bridge crossing over San Diego Bay, linking San Diego with Coronado, California. It is part of State Route 75. The construction of a bridge across the San Diego Bay was proposed several times since the 1920s, but was turned down feared a bridge could collapse due to an attack or an earthquake and trap the ships stationed at Naval Base San Diego. By 1964 the Navy supported a bridge if there was at least 200 feet (61 m) of clearance for ships which operate out of the nearby Naval Base San Diego to pass underneath it. To achieve this clearance with a reasonable grade, the bridge length was increased by taking a curved path rather than a more direct path to Coronado. The clearance would allow an empty oil-fired aircraft carrier to pass beneath it. This was then approved and construction began and completed and the bridge was opened for traffic in 1969. At first it was a toll bridge until 2002. The bridge contains five lanes: two eastbound, two westbound, and a reversible middle lane with a barrier. The pillars supporting the bridge on the eastern end are painted with huge murals as part of Chicano Park, the most extensive collection of Chicano art murals in the world. The Coronado Bridge is frequently used as a suicide bridge; trailing only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as the bridge most-often used for suicide in the United States.

We enjoy visiting this bridge because you can see Mexico, and you can see all of San Diego's Skyline , pluss Coronado Island from this bridge. When you are traveling under the bridge, it looks like the shape of a bell.

It’s definitely a cool bridge to go over, and the only way to get to Coronado Island unless you go by boat. It’s a short ride of a little over about two minutes but fun. There is a great view on either side, and it’s neat to see ships passing below as you drive over. Overall, it’s a good experience and a solid bridge, especially if it’s part of your daily commute.

Such an amazing drive and view ❤️❤️

Rode the ferry ONCE in 1965, Watched the construction of the bridge, great saving time and fuel. Sailed my boat under it many times, great for sunset photos, especially from the water.

My mother, tour group and I have been on a tour bus through the bridge. The view going to the ocean side was wonderful with the ocean views and going to the city side was wonderful because can see the San Diego skyline. Also, there were vehicles crossing the bridge too, and ships crossing below.

One of my favourite ball parks that we have been coming to for over 10 years. Amazing views of the city and lots of good options for food and drink. Came for a Padres v Dodgers Friday night game this time and it didn’t disappoint. The small wine place across from the Lexus Lounge was great. Very easy to get served, which was a challenge in the lounge itself. Friday night games are the best as the crowd is loud and engaged. Padres fans are have always been friendly when we visit and everyone had a nice time.

Great park. Been to like 40 different baseball parks (current and retired ones). This is one of the best! Amazing setting. Great views of the city. Interesting features inside like the Padres HOF. They were having Hispanic Heritage weekend when I went in late September. Definite playoff vibe as well with Mariachi band (they played the national anthem - never heard that before) and Latina dancers and sitting room seats in outfield. Super fun.

This has to be one of the better MLB stadiums I have been to. It was easy to get to and find parking for. The employees were friendly and nice, and it was fun seeing the fans get into the game and cheer for the Padres. The food in and around the stadium were also good. I look forward to being able to come back to see another MLB game here when I'm able to.

This review is all about Petco Park itself, not the Padres—though I’ll always bleed blue for my team! This stadium easily ranks in my top four. The views, the electric vibe, and the food make it a standout. The highlight? The famous Seaside Market Tri-Tip Nachos (aka Cardiff Crack nachos). These are an absolute must-try—loaded with juicy, slow-smoked tri-tip, nacho cheese, BBQ sauce, sour cream, and green onions. They’re so YUM, even a traditionalist like me, who lives for ballpark hot dogs, happily deviates for these. Trust me, they’re worth it! Escaping triple-digit Arizona heat for a game at Petco each season is a highlight. The back-and-forth rivalry cheers in the stands create an unmatched atmosphere. From the stunning views to the incredible food, Petco Park delivers an unforgettable baseball experience. Can’t wait to return next season!

Great stadium, fantastic area, great staff and service, and had a great time! I got the steak nachos, which were fine, but could have used hot sauce or salsa. One bottle of soda was $7…pricey. Great viewing area with large screen!

9/6/25 Parking is a zoo so come early for dinner and so you can check out the merchandise. On Saturday, we parked at the Hard Rock Hotel and paid @$90 for valet plus tip. The park is clean and has lots of meal options. The people who worked there were friendly and helpful. I didn't have to wait in line for a bathroom! So nice! I'd suggest hanging out for a bit because there is so much traffic after the event, no need to rush. Overall, a good experience. I'd bring my comfy walking shoes because you'll be walking to get there and up lots of stairs. (There are elevators.) Pro tips- don't get the mixed drinks, stick with the beer on level 1. I had the rum and pineapple juice drink and it was watery. Also, make sure to have a plastic bag.

Petco Park as a stadium venue. It's absolutely beautiful. I've now been there 3 times back to back in a row for the Dia de los Deftones music festival. I'm from the central valley and even though it's a 6 hour drive back and forth it's SO worth it. Every year I look forward to this concert because of the city, the concert and the venue. Dia de los Deftones is my favorite music festival of ALL time and at this point it's a tradition that I've accepted into my life and love sharing it with friends and family for the first time or returning. If this festival didn't happen at Petco park I can honestly say it wouldn't be the same.

Seaport Village is a great place to visit. Take a stroll down the boardwalk it has lots of nice views of San Diego Bay and the Coronado Bridge. Lots of concrete walkways wind through the village. Lots of shops and great food and ice cream for the kids! The USS Midway Museum is very close to Seaport Village. Many different things to see in this area from the Gaslamp quarters, the Convention Center and Petco Park all very close by within walking distance from each other. I was very impressed with all the shops and great food and wonderful atmosphere. Alot of people smiling and saying hello to each other. This place is fun for all ages!

The USS Midway Museum is an absolute must-visit when you’re in San Diego! It’s such a fascinating place filled with history, and walking through the ship really gives you a glimpse into what life was like for sailors on board. There’s so much to explore from the flight deck to the engine room and you can easily spend hours here. I recommend starting your visit from the 41 Deck up to down, as the upper deck (Flight Deck) closes earlier at 4:30 PM. You definitely don’t want to miss it because the view and the aircraft displays up there are incredible! The volunteers and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to share stories and answer questions. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages truly one of the highlights of my San Diego trip!

My daily running path runs through SV. I love to stop for some water or coffee and take it in. You can really feel the soul and pulse of the city right there. I'm usually there early mornings and it's so beautiful. Night time is magical too. I'm so grateful the city built amazing places to run

It’s been years since I last visited Seaport Village. I recently stopped by with my cousin, who was visiting California. I thought I would take her to some of the places I used to frequent during my childhood. I still remember when the buildings used to look more brown. It has a more appealing look with its white paint. Against the blue skies, it just looks more attractive. It still has that charm that I remember. I remember walking along the walkway between the shops and bay. These used to be a wall of boulders and stones that separated the walkway from the waters. It’s now cemented for a polished white wall. The large fountain that I remember is still there. It still looks maintained and the restrooms are clean. There is a fee to park at Seaport Village. Overall, Seaport Village is a nice spot that’s calm and has a relaxing vibe with a view of the bay - and, if you’re lucky, you’ll spot some naval ships pass by.

Seaport Village is a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the ocean view. Lots of nice shops, great food spots, and friendly people. Perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or just spending a calm evening by the water. You can enjoy live music on every weekend.

Seaport Village in San Diego is a charming waterfront shopping and dining complex that captures the relaxed, coastal spirit of Southern California. Located along San Diego Bay, it features more than 50 unique shops, art galleries, and restaurants set amid cobblestone pathways, lush gardens, and a picturesque marina. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the harbor, watch street performers, ride the historic carousel, or simply stroll along the waterfront promenade. With its blend of seaside ambiance, local flavors, and family-friendly attractions, Seaport Village is a favorite destination for both tourists and locals seeking a peaceful escape in the heart of downtown San Diego.

We love visiting Seaport Village! It’s such a beautiful area to walk around, watch the ducks, enjoy the water, and do a little people-watching. The atmosphere is relaxing and scenic, perfect for a casual day out. For food, Louisiana Charlie’s is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and just across the way, Broadys house of flavors is a must for a sweet treat.

I loved this place. Totally random visit, not planned at all. Was in SD for a week and on the last day we decided to visit on a whim. We went mid afternoon around 12:30 left around 4 and didn’t get to finish. Wish we could have stayed longer but had to leave. Would definitely go back! So many things to read and hear and conversations with employees to have. Got to meet a gentleman who lived and navigated the ship over 60 years ago! Even if you don’t care at all about this type of environment I assure you you will have a good time.

Let me start by saying I do not like museums. I LOVE this museum. I also love that they hire people and procure volunteers that are veterans so you obtain knowledge from the source. I loved their personal stories, hearing of their experiences overseas and of the carrier. I wish we had more time. The tour said 4 hours to complete. We had four hours. I wish I had four more, but we had a plane to catch. I would advise to download the parking app to pay over phone because I had to extend our time twice. I would say to stop by the Verizon table to pick up the audio tour guide that you tap at every station. Bring a water but if you forget there are vending machines and a diner on the carrier. Stop by the gift shop for memorabilia. Take the tour of the captains quarters, see if you have what it takes to be military intelligence, and tour the upper levels which requires ladder climbing so comfy tie up shoes is wise. Please come and listen to our service men and women that dedicated their lives to protect our country. They have wonderful stories to share. This museum is highly recommended.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! We visited the USS Pampanito years ago in SF and it was awesome! So we were definitely excited to see this one. Love that it gives us a small glimpse into what these guys had and went through because only they know what they saw and what they did during their time there. We walked through almost 90% of the ship but because we had our 3 younger boys we weren't able to finish the top portion. They do have a little quiz for the kids which consists of 6 questions they need to answer along the tour and at the end they get a pilot wings pin which is cute and cool. Definitely a must if you're visiting in the area. Beautiful views and the weather was perfect. During October kids do get in for free so get that deal and also I saw online that that EBT holders can get in for free(up to 4 people), its the Museum for All program so whatever the case go and visit!

I had to rate this wonderful exhibit of military history and power. My Navy daughter, granddaughter, and I, thoroughly enjoyed touring this historic aircraft carrier. From the long flight deck, numerous aircraft, to the interior halls, cabins, war room, and “Top Gun” fame, this historic exhibit should not be missed. The volunteer staff was friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions. We got there a little late, and did our own walking tour, rather than utilizing the audio devices. However, we will probably go back again sometime in the near future. Thank you, US Navy for your service and protection of these United States!

Everything about this experience is just amazing. The USS Midway Museum is an incredible experience that brings naval history to life! Walking around this massive aircraft carrier, you really get a sense of what it was like to live and work at sea. The flight deck is a highlight, packed with different aircraft and offering stunning views of the San Diego skyline. You can explore the ship's interior, from the sleeping quarters to the engine room, and imagine the daily routines of the crew. The docents, many of whom served on the Midway, share fascinating stories and insights that make the history even more engaging. Overall, the USS Midway Museum is educational, interactive, and a memorable adventure for anyone interested in naval aviation and maritime history. It’s a must-see if you’re in San Diego!

The USS Midway is like embarking on a floating city. This massive aircraft carrier is a fantastic museum that brings history to life in a way that truly captivates the whole family. It's a must-do for any family visiting San Diego. Hands-On Experience: The highlights for kids (and adults!) are the numerous restored aircraft on the Flight Deck and Hangar Deck that you can actually climb into. Sitting in the cockpit of a real jet or helicopter is an unforgettable photo opportunity and a thrilling experience for aspiring pilots. Meet Real-Life Heroes: One of the mostspecial aspects of the Midway are the volunteer docents—many of whom are veterans, and some even served on the Midway! They wear yellow hats and are stationed throughout the ship, eager to share fascinating, firsthand stories that add a truly personal and educational dimension to the visit. Fantastic Views: From the open-air Flight Deck, you get stunning, panoramic views of the San Diego skyline, the Coronado Bridge, and San Diego Bay. Tips for Families Plan on 3 to 4 hours to fully explore the ship and take advantage of the activities. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking and navigating steep, narrow staircases. (Elevators are available for many parts of the museum, and about 60% of the exhibits are wheelchair accessible).

This is one of those "must go to" spots in San Diego if you love history and appreciate our military. Give yourself at least 3 hours. We were at 4.5 hours when we called it. We saw everything except the island, as there was still an hour wait to see it. This is an amazing piece of history and allows for a whole new respect for the men and women that serve on our ships. We learned some new things we didnt know about naval history. The displays are well done. There's alot of walking so wear walking shoes for the most comfort. This does have wheelchair accessibility to many areas, but not all due to the nature of the ship, but definitely enough to make the trip worth it. There are also some height obstacles (my hubby knocked his noggin a couple times. Hes 6ft tall). But this museum is set up so incredibly well that you might get emotional. I also recommend the 15min movie about the Battle at Midway. Totally worth the wait. This is also kid friendly. Family friendly. But do keep in mind the timing to get thru the ship. Younger kids/ederly may wear out sooner than you're ready to leave. You can also get a hand stamp for re-entry if you wanna break up your day. We went too late in the day to do this, but its a nice option had we realized it ahead of time. We will definitely be going back. I highly recommend and know you wont be disappointed visiting this amazing piece of history.

Been playing at Steele Canyon for many years now and have been a member for many years. Always an awesome experience playing here and the food in the clubhouse is exceptional. My only complaint if I were to make one is the cart girls don't make enough trips around.

Loved everything about Steele Canyon - friendly and helpful staff and wow what a golf course - great condition, greens are fast and challenging but very well kept, some amazing views around Ranch particularly - all with Californian sun - what’s not to like?! Would love to play Canyon - next time!! 5 stars

Awesome course and very challenging. Definitely be on your game when you come here! The views were great and the pace of play was pretty good.

Three beautiful 9 hole lay outs. Very well kept. Pace of play was very good and the people that worked there are very courteous and helpful. A little warm out there today but a lot of fun.

Excellent course! Fun layout - interesting holes, many have significant elevation changes in play. Lots of risk-reward situations making you think. Fast challenging greens. Fairways mostly in good shape. Friendly service.

Wow! The course was beautiful but it was tuff. The young man in the club house was very helpful. I rented clubs and he had them ready before I got there. (720am tee time) I hit the driving ranch then was on my way. I played the canyon course then ranch. Both were awesome. The only bad part was it looks like no one know how to repair their ball makes on the green. Would definitely recommend this course if you want a challenge with great scenery.

Played the Canyon and Vineyard nines. They are a great mix of holes. Some are extremely challenging, even from the whites. I found a couple of the par 3s to be especially difficult. The fairways were in great shape, as were the greens and bunkers. A couple of the water features could use some TLC. I only encountered two staff members, and both were extremely gracious. I didn’t get a chance to check out the club and restaurant. Played the 18 holes in under three hours.

Such a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. The zoo is the big attraction here but the Japanese gardens, natural history museum, air and space museum and many other attractions are in this park. You could easily spend multiple days here without running out of activities!

Absolutely beautiful. It’s full of gardens, museums, and stunning architecture. Perfect for walking, relaxing, or taking photos. The atmosphere is peaceful yet lively, and there’s always something interesting going on. It’s totally worth visiting this iconic San Diego spot.

One of the best city parks ever! It’s large, well maintained, and in a pretty central location. Has tons of interesting places to explore, from the impressive architecture to the many museums and gardens. Lively, very aesthetic place and it’s easy to spend a whole day exploring this park!

How was Balboa Park? WET. A few folks mentioned how rare this was. We were also there on a local free day. I guess it is an honor system, as no one asked for ID, but we were willing to fess up to being from another State, where rain is a regular occurrence we are currently avoiding. Finally got into the large Botanical Building. The free Timken Museum of Art is closed M-Tue, RATS! Given that it was a free local day, there seemed to be adequate parking at 10, rain stopped by 10:30a, and we headed out. Expected a bit more of the Japanese Friendship Garden, and was surprised by cats comfortable enough to sleep in the open. Other spaces were hard to take photos of, absent other people. A public park being... public.

Balboa Park is a true San Diego treasure, and every visit confirms why it's a world-class destination. It’s more than just a park; it's a breathtaking escape that combines stunning architecture, lush gardens, and phenomenal museums into one unforgettable experience. You could easily spend an entire day—or an entire week—and still not see everything. We spent our day strolling along the Prado, captivated by the ornate Spanish Colonial architecture that transports you back in time. The gardens are a sensory delight, from the serene Japanese Friendship Garden to the vibrant blooms in the Rose Garden. The Botanical Building is a must-see, with its towering wood lath structure and beautiful koi pond. The best part? So much of this beauty is completely free to enjoy. For museum lovers, the options are endless. We visited the San Diego Museum of Art and were thoroughly impressed with the collection, but you could just as easily lose yourself in the Fleet Science Center or the Museum of Us. The options mean there's something for every interest and every age. Now, for those complaining about parking: 😡stop being lazy and get there early like everyone else. We arrived around 9 a.m. and found a great spot in the free Inspiration Point lot with no hassle. If you're not an early riser, there's a free tram service that will get you where you need to go. The park is massive, and a little planning goes a long way. Don't let your own poor planning diminish this incredible experience for others with a one star review😡😤. In short, Balboa Park is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is vibrant and inspiring, the grounds are immaculate, and the variety of things to do is unmatched. This is a five star experience from start to finish, and we can’t wait to go back.

Balboa Park will leave you in awe. With several museums, garden and San Diego Zoo to visit, you will never run out of things to do. It’s a great place to bring the whole family. I how educational and historical this park is. I would highly recommend this beautiful park to anyone visiting the San Diego area.

The environment is diverse, welcoming and secure. It can be busy but its worth the experience. There was ample parking regardless of the crowds. Me and my daughter visited the natural history museum, admission price was reasonable and the atmosphere was good. The exhibits were interesting. I would visit again.

This is 100% a world class zoo. They make use of the space extremely well. There's plenty of walking to do, but they make it a wonderful experience. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of conservation and research that they do as well. I learned all about it on the fantastic double decker bus tour, which I highly recommend. This was an experience that is second to none.

The San Diego Zoo is a must see on a San Diego visit! I would say it’s an all day event if you plan to see the entire zoo. I was there from 9am to 5pm! Make sure to bring your comfortable walking shoes! I would recommend taking their bus tour from the start and sitting on the to deck on the right side. You’ll see more of the attractions during the drive than the left. The bus tour is a great starting point and allows you to see a lot of the zoo and animals from a high POV! From there I recommend choosing your important must see animals and go from there! The air cable car is in the middle of the zoo and stops at the polar bear attraction so plan accordingly. Some people like to take it down at the end of their visit because you’ll end up at the entrance but there is more of a line. They do allow water bottles and food. Highly recommend drinking water as it does get hot!

Kendal and I visited the San Diego Zoo for his birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Although I’m not usually a huge fan of zoos, we couldn’t pass up the chance to explore this world-famous destination and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked through the gates, we were surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant habitats, and some of the most beautiful animals I’ve ever seen. Every exhibit felt thoughtfully designed to give guests an up-close look while still respecting the animals’ space. We saw elephants, lions, pandas, and even a few playful monkeys who put on quite the show. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and it was clear they genuinely care about conservation and animal welfare. One of the highlights was taking the Skyfari aerial tram, which gave us a stunning view of the entire zoo… perfect for catching our breath after all that walking! Speaking of walking, this zoo is massive, so definitely wear your most comfortable shoes. We also lucked out by visiting in October, when adults pay regular admission and kids get in free, a great deal for families! Between the breathtaking exhibits, fun learning moments, and the joy on Kendal’s face the entire day, it was hands-down one of the best birthday adventures we’ve ever had. Even if you’re not a “zoo person,” the San Diego Zoo might just change your mind. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Southern California!

I visited the zoo over four years ago and noticed significant improvements and new sections have been added since my last visit. The upgrades have enhanced the overall experience, making it much better than before. One of the highlights was the convenience of valet parking. I particularly enjoyed the reptile section, which was quite impressive. However, I did have to wait nearly 30 minutes to access the Panda section, which was less than ideal, but it was worth it for my kids.

Had the best experience visiting the SD ZOO, definitely not a 1 day experience, so many beautiful animals to see. So beautiful walking thru all the green forest/bamboo. Loved the tour bus & flying thru the sky... Staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Able to bring in own drinks & food. Which is super helpful when bringing kids.

An absolutely amazing experience! 🐯🌿 The San Diego Zoo completely blew me away hands down one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to. The layout is beautiful and super easy to navigate, the animals are clearly well cared for, and the whole place feels like a mix between an adventure park and a nature sanctuary. The staff were just just sooooo friendly, knowledgeable and amazing i never seen employees that care so much for their job and love it so much like the people in this zoo, the exhibits were clean and immersive, and there’s something new to see around every corner from playful pandas to majestic tigers and adorable koalas 🐼🦒. You can tell the zoo really prioritizes conservation and education, not just entertainment. Also, the Skyfari aerial tram was such a cool touch seeing the zoo from above was unreal! 🚡 Highly recommend spending a full day here if you can. It’s 100% worth it whether you’re with friends, family, or even solo. A true San Diego must-visit. 🌞❤️

There is so much to see at the San Diego Zoo, from animals and birds to plenty of shops and restaurants on almost every corner (be ready to spend some money). It is all worth it though. Walking through felt like a scenic hike. We got to feed the giraffes, checked out the reptiles, and even ride the sky tram and had a bus ride at no extra cost, which gave us the best aerial view of the entire zoo. I could easily go back again. It is best to arrive early in the morning since there is a lot to see and do. Kids will love it too, with fun activities like face painting available. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience at Sky Falconry. The drive up offers magnificent views. Kirk was a brilliant host with an excellent knowledge base who gave a humorous introductory lecture which was both informative and entertaining followed by a fantastic hands on experience with a Harris Hawk. My 8yo son and husband loved their lesson and myself and our younger children had a great time as observers. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience! We participated in the Private Raptor Experience plus meeting an Owl and it was incredible! Kirk and Cory were so friendly and knowledgeable about these beautiful birds and educated us about them. We got to hold the birds, walk with them, and fly them! I would 10/10 do this experience again. Lifelong memories were created! Thank you!

This was such an incredible birthday gift for my partner—truly an experience of a lifetime! The falconry staff were knowledgeable, witty, and so much fun. Their passion for what they do really shined through and made the entire experience even more special. I especially appreciated how they incorporated education around animals, wildlife, and environmental conservation—it added so much meaning. We did the basic falconry lesson with the Hawk and absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to come back and try the other experiences!

My experience at Sky Falconry far exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high to begin with. I had wanted to get close to birds of prey for a long time, but due to personal issues, I kept having to postpone it. Perhaps being forced to wait made things better. First of all Sky Falconry is located in one of the nicest parts of the back country, and on the day that I showed up the weather was phenomenal. The drive to the top provided nice views of Alpine and the surrounding area. Kirk and Corey, the guys who run Sky Falconry, are passionate about the birds they care for and show off, very knowledgeable, and just really nice. When everyone arrived, we gathered together to learn about the birds we were going to come into contact with, the history of falconry, and some of the habitat and environmental issues affecting birds of prey. (If you weren't careful, you might actually learn something.) Kirk and Corey saw to it that everyone had an opportunity to interact with the owls and the falcon, and true to what they told us, the two species of birds were very different. Both bird are truly amazing hunters and flyers that with little more than an outstretched arm, come right to you. (Okay, maybe a little food also did the trick.) I could go on for a long time trying to describe the experience, and I wouldn't come close. I left feeling much more positive about the world. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.

Really nice views of Alpine and the surrounding area on the way to Falconry. Kirk and Corey are amazing guys! Very knowledgeable and passionate. Our kids enjoyed interaction with birds and we had absolutely wonderful time! Highly recommended! Thank you so much, Kirk and Corey!

Was our first time out there and we brought relatives from out of state to join us. We all learned something from the education portion and the hands on expert was amazing! Kurt and Cory were so good with the birds. The love and respect for them was refreshing. The two gentlemen worked so well together and had a good time with the group. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience. We will definitely do this again.

Absolutely amazing! Our guides were incredible and it was quite an experience. We learned so much. A great bucket list item! Highly recommend it.

World class para gliding and hand gliding center. Amazing scenic beauty of stiff uneven cliffs and beach. Restaurants and Bar are available. Nice tourist spot. Almost crowded during sun set time. Enjoyed sun set at this beautiful point

Torrey Pines Gliderport in San Diego is a world-famous aviation site perched atop the scenic cliffs of La Jolla, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Known as one of the best coastal soaring locations in the world, it attracts hang gliders, paragliders, and remote-control model sailplane enthusiasts year-round. The site has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s, when aviation pioneers first tested gliders there. Today, visitors can watch colorful paragliders take off and glide effortlessly over the ocean or even take tandem flights with certified instructors. With its combination of adventure, history, and stunning coastal beauty, Torrey Pines Gliderport is a must-visit destination for thrill-seekers and sightseers alike.

Absolutely amazing experience! I was paired up with a very experienced and fun pilot, Alex. He made me feel completely comfortable and safe. But he did some tricks and let me take over for a few minutes as well. The view and the feeling of soaring with the birds is hard to describe. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Do call to check the winds or go early and sign up then hike around the area and come back when you see gliders going up. Brought my gopro and got great video. But they also will take pics of you. Tuesday and Thursday if you pay cash you get those free.

Great walking trails. Loved this. Also access to the beach via stairs. It's a long walk down. Beautiful homes on the cliffs. It's not a difficult hike up and down, but a lot of fun.

Under construction right now beautiful place to walk our dog take a hike have a little snack and listen to the bands that come and play there. Great place to take the kids for the afternoon

Visited this spot to watch the hang gliders and hike the dirt paths. We followed the winding dirt path down to Black’s Beach where we walked along the water averting our eyes from the nude sunbathers. If you aren’t aware, the nudity at Black’s Beach will catch you by surprise. Everyone was minding their own business though, so it was no big deal. The hike back up the cliff was exhausting with the many stairs and steep incline. We stopped by the cafe for some lemonade and then rested on the upper deck while the hang gliders came and went. Watching the whole process over and over made it look easy and very safe. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. The bathrooms were closed when we visited, but there were portapotties available. Mid-day on a Tuesday, the parking lot was pretty full, but I was able to find a spot close to the entrance. I don’t recommend visiting right after a car wash because the parking lot is very dusty and bumpy. The flights are $200-$275 per person for a 20 minute ride and I believe they offer free photographs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Otherwise, you have to pay for the photos they take. Might have to return soon to check “hang gliding” off of my bucket list!

The glider port is a friendly place. I'll be at a little difficult to navigate If it's your first time. Nothing beats the views where you get a up close experience with the pairagliders landing and taking off. Good food and libations can be found as well. There's plenty of trails along the cliffs around the Gliderport.

Wow! Beautiful quiet property. The pool area isn't the biggest but the serenity and mountains are very relaxing. We had a wonderful complimentary stay. The slots were generous to us this trip. Doubled our winnings. I'm looking forward to returning more often and enjoying the perks of new VIP members and trying all the dining options offered. Thank you Barona!

This is regarding the Sage Restaurant. We went out to Barona after dropping off some friends in San Diego. Our initial impression of the resort and the grounds was positive. There's a big emphasis on cleanliness and friendliness. The whole resort was lovely and well kept. And every staff member we interacted with were super friendly and extremely helpful. The Sage Restaurant was large and very well laid out. We were able to be seated by the window overlooking the duck pond. It's a great view even though the weather was a little overcast. The wait staff were great. Very polite, professional and like I mentioned super friendly. We started out with a bread basket which was unusual for lunch. We were happily surprised to find it contained fresh hot fry bread. We haven't had fry bread for years and it was great. Very fresh and outstanding. For lunch we had the fried chicken and the chicken fried steak. The portions were huge and both plates were very tasty. We couldn't believe the size of the food because each plate was only $15 each. It was an amazing deal. It's unlikely that we will make it out to Barona again since it's a 2.5 hour drive from home. But if we do I will look forward to another meal at the Sage Restaurant. Again, super clean place. Super friendly and helpful staff and a great bargain on the meal which was tasty and large portions at a reasonable price.

Went to Barona for lunch. We love eating at the cafe, sitting by the windows and looking out at all the greenery. The food is always well prepared, very tasty, and well worth the price. In addition, it is wonderful that the casino is smoke free. It is now much more pleasant to walk around the building and visit the different booths/shops. As always, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Didn't book a room here maybe in the future. The casino was smoke free which is awesome! They have a designated lounge for smokers. Good variety of restaurant. We tried the Mexican restaurant located in the food court. Reasonable price good and decentl portions. The bathrooms were sparkling clean! They also offer free nobility scooters & free ATM.

I usually dont write these. Beautiful beautiful property lets start there!! however, I been going to barona. I havent been there in a while from my mom had medical problems and had to cancel several times and my host understood and was very supportive he is a 5 star as well. I frequent Morongo quiteeeee a bite smh close to me too close!! but Barona is the place i can enjoy and relax with serenity. I was there recently. I love it the sevice is 5 star, the welcoming staff is 5 star, the food is 5 star. I usually eat at the steak house bias i guess its 5 stars as well. howevver there was a issue at the steak house. this last trip is the reason i give it a 4 star. actually i would do a 4 1/2 but can not. a couple things in the room wasnt working. but the manager she is a very sweet lady and considerate she accomadated for some. this is the only reason and the issue with the manager coming to find me about a bill that should have been billed to the room on the floor while gambling. i didnt like that! as if i didnt pay! but came to tell me that the bill was taking care of and did i enjoy the food. Hum!! well why are coming where i am and finding me on the floor to tell me that! i dont know how to receive that! HUM!! but otherwise these is the only issues i have had 1 time after going there when can. I would reccomend Barona still!! i love it still!! everyone has a off day!! :) TTYL BArona

This casino feels like im at my Nana's; house. Cleanest casino restrooms by far; which is a big must for me. I've never stayed a night here, but will be coming back. Sage restaurant; amazing! Better than your mommas chicken dinner is a must try! Great ambiance, and service. I have no complaints.

First time there. Rewards desk was super nice and helpful. A+. Lots of food options and very clean. Update as of 6/10/25. After my 4th trip in a little over 2 weeks I have to say this casino is terrific! No stranger to casinos, being Gold at MGM and Platinum at Caesers as well as various other casinos. The service and friendly people at Barona is outstanding. Wide range of slots and pretty loose compared to what I'm used to. Even being a smoker I can appreciate the no smoking. Besides the smoking room gives you a nice break from gambling to re group. The staff from security to the people in the food court are all top notch especially at the rewards desk. Shout out to Tom! I only wish I could remember the young lady that set up my rewards on my first trip, she was extremely nice and explained everything very well. Lots of food options at affordable prices especially for a casino. Can't wait to go back on my next trio to SD. Personally I can't recommend this place enough. 10 out of 10!

This hike was amazing! 🌊 The entry fee was $20, and we drove all the way up to the top parking lot to start the West Overlook Trail (about 3 miles). The beginning was mostly downhill with incredible ocean views and cool lookout spots. The way back is uphill, so it’s definitely a workout—but worth it. I highly recommend wearing good shoes and bringing plenty of water, especially if you’re hiking midday.

Breathtakingly beautiful and serene! The mountains on one side and the ocean on the other side makes it even more scenic. So many beautiful trails leading to the peaks where you can watch the sunset or sunrise in the most spectacular views. I loved going here and will come back again and again! Hands down 5 star!

Beautiful beach, lot of trails - easy to moderate. Great views. I ended up doing many easy ones just for the views. Some trails can get very crowded and you may not enjoy the experience. Best solution is to go at your own pace and let the stream of people pass!! My best decision was to walk back along the beach after completing the trails. That was more adventurous and thrilling!!

Came here on a Friday afternoon late September. $20 day use fee. Did my hikes from the parking lot across the road from the visitor center. Good amount of parking. I could see it being an issue on really busy days. Porta potties there with hand washing stations. Pretty clean porta potties that didnt smell too bad. Decently warm day but there was a breeze most of the time making it pleasant most of the time. Hiked to Red Butte, Razor Point, Yuma Overlook, and the beach. Took a bit more than an hour including meditation and picture time. Downhill mostly to beach then back uphill to parking lot. Mostly gentle. Nothing too crazy. I am a middle aged guy that sits at a computer working everyday for most of the day and have some mild asthma and still did just fine. Amazing stuff. Although there were plenty of people there, there were still quiet times to enjoy the ambiance and sounds and meditate. Scenery is unreal, and the trails are well marked. Pictures I attach do speak a thousand words and display the incredible scenery. Got my beloved souvenir patch and postcards at the VC, which has no bathrooms or water for water bottle. Highly recommended. I posted lots of pics because this place deserves it.

This was an incredible experience. We drove up, parked and walked a trail. The view is stunning. I am so glad we decided to go here. After the hike we stopped by the beach. I'm so glad we came here.

A stunning place to hike in San Diego! You’ll see animals, geology, gorgeous ocean views, and our famous Torrey Pines. With parking lots both at beach level and on the cliffs, there are many options to start your hikes. There are numerous trails which intersect, so you can meander and never get lost. Whether you want an easy walk or a challenging hillside hike, you’ll find one here. This is a state park and admission at the time of this review was $20 per car. You can park on Torrey Pines Road for free if you can find a spot and walk in. We visited on a Sunday and arrived around 12 o’clock, so it was busy there was still still parking available. When we left at 1:30 it was much emptier, so mornings are definitely the busier time to go. I HIGHLY recommend Torrey pines for sightseeing and hiking. It’s the epitome of natural San Diego!

This is a must-do in San Diego. As a local, it has the most beautiful views and great hikes. For cyclists, going up Torrey Pines is a right of passage. Not for the faint of heart. Parking can be a bit challenging during the summer but it’s totally worth it. The best sunsets in San San Diego. Bring a picnic or a burrito from Roberto’s which is right around the corner and enjoy the nature!

Beautiful beautiful cliff. I went all the way around to the golf course and then came down to explore the cliff/beach. Took around 2.5 h. Make sure you bring water. There is really no escape from the sun. And do check the tides before going to access the beautiful walk on the beach.

Hiking trails were closed unfortunately but the visitor center volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable and we learned a ton about local sea life and such. Beautiful beach as well.

This is one of the quieter, more secluded beaches/cliff areas in San Diego — and like most places along the coast here, it’s absolutely beautiful. The beach below is peaceful, not crowded at all, with just a few surfers and scattered visitors. I didn’t go all the way down to the sand; instead, I viewed everything from the gliderport area, which sits high on a cliff and gives you an incredible panoramic view of the ocean. There is a path/stair-like trail that goes down to the beach, but it’s a steep climb and takes time, so I skipped it. Even just staying at the top was worth it — the breeze, the crashing waves, and the open view felt calm and refreshing. The area is also used for paragliding, so you’ll often see people launching from the cliff, which makes the spot even more interesting to watch. Parking is available, but the lot can be full, and the ground is uneven, dusty, and a bit rugged — not ideal if you don’t have a car with good clearance. I parked anyway, but my regular car struggled a bit, so it’s something to be aware of, especially after rain. It was slightly cloudy when I visited, but I can easily imagine this being a stunning sunset spot on a clear day. If you’re exploring San Diego, definitely add this place to your list — quiet, scenic, and perfect for just standing still and taking it all in.

Amazing place to spend time exercising or exploring all day! Loved this place so much❤️ About $20 for parking in their lot. Paved walking/hiking path showcasing beautiful vistas of the city,brackish waterways, forested hills to rocky shores & ocean. Great information center w helpful & knowledgeable park staff.

Beautiful trails, with a great variety of native plants on the bluffs and in the canyons. Be ready for some pretty good elevation gain, this is not a flat, shoreline, hike (nor is it El Cap). Bring water even in the winter. When they're out, dolphins, seals, occasionally whales, are visible from up there. In the summer we cool off from the hike with some time in the surf, looking back at the cliffs we were just on top of.

Nice place to walk around, cliffs are great to look at...water not best for swimming in my opinion.

One of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in San Diego

A very fun experience and a beautiful area to come and explore. The trains are great it's a short circuit but you get to go around twice and they have three different engines.

Took a walk around the park after eating at the Hamburger Factory. Never seen this before. Cute park! Well taken care of. It was a nice walk.

Steam locomotive ride was a big hit with families with small children but be prepared to wait due to the long line. The gazebo featured singers singing railroad themed songs. Historic house and museum were interesting to visit.

Old poway park has history, creativity is a very interesting place to enjoy. Have a picnic areas and food places around it. Plus a great I will call mini train with is very atractive to raids with friend family and children. I love the experience

This is an Awesome place to take the kids, walk your dog etc. The little creek is nice, The big trees offer great shade, the picnic tables and BBQs are great for picnics. On Saturday is a Wonderful Farmer's Market and the Ole train runs around the park.

I’m so glad I visited this historical part of Poway. Monday morning and no one else there except a few people walking their dog. 🐶

Great place for everyone! Took my little girl and the park is nice all by itself. Plus it has added bonuses. If you go on the right day (schedule on website) you can ride the little train for only a couple of dollars. Additionally, the park has several really nice public grills and picnic tables, that would be great for a family or a group. Several restaurants walkable nearby too. Totally worth checking out.

Bernardo Winery offering a charming blend of history, rustic ambiance, and artisan shops. Its diverse selection includes bold reds, refreshing whites, and unique offerings. The wine tasting session is a must try, providing a great introduction to their best selections. Friendly staff enhance the experience with insights into the winery’s history. Light bites from the café pair well with the wines, while live music and events add to the atmosphere. A peaceful retreat with quality wines, it’s a must-visit in San Diego.

Bernardo winery is a wonderful place to spend the day. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and it feels like a small village. The tasting room looks rustic, it is always cool inside, the staff if very friendly and knowledgeable. There i a gelato/sweet shoo, an Italian eatery, a coffee shop and various gift shops, too. The food from the Italian kitchen is outstanding; we especially loved the mussels and the Arancini.

Wonderful scenery, staff, and wine. On top of that, the food was perfect for a night of sipping and strolling. One of the best wineries we’ve been to on the west coast 🍷

We love the Bernardo Winery! It is one of our favorite places to relax for brunch or an early dinner. The ambience is unmatched. We’ve long since grown out of our college bar/party phase, so a visit here this is a fantastic way to decompress after a long week or to bring family and friends when they come into town. The food is excellent! The portion size for the fries is fantastic. I love to get a salad plus a side of fries to share with whoever I’m with, and maybe a pizza. The wine pours for the tastings are generous. The only thing I’ve ordered and not been crazy about was the bruschetta because it had olives and pistachio which I wasn’t a huge fan of. The best part about our visits to the Bernardo winery are walking around the shops after. It is incredibly romantic too! Especially during sunset. At night, there are outdoor heaters that make it very cozy too. If I could leave 10 stars I would!

Beautiful venue for a wedding!! Loved the nostalgia and vintage pieces adorning the property. Perfect match with our vintage wood Photo Booth!

I recently officiated a wedding at the Bernardo Winery. It was my first time to this venue and it did not disappoint! The grounds were beautiful and very private. The greenery was well kept and the ceremony area was beautiful. Loved the cocktail area, it was shaded and perfect for hanging out. What a great place to get married - thank you Bernardo Winery for a wonderful experience - I hope I am back there soon!

I really wish they would care about the customer experience here. It's such a beautiful winery, in an ideal location. I've personally been visiting for the last 15 years. Many additions have happened throughout that time but the dismissiveness of their employees continues. Specifically the employees in the tasting room, it seems as they are being forced to work there with zero enjoyment. That along with their food ordering system, table hunting, fetching your beverage from a separate building from someone who looks annoyed cannot be the final system - its a shame.

Such a beautiful place to visit. So big and so much to see. I love all the plants too. There was a lot of spots blocked off and closed. There’s also wasn’t any peacocks to see which was disappointing.

A cute little historic ranch with some ties to old Hollywood. You can go inside most of the small adobes, take a short nature walk and see some wild peacocks on the grounds. There wre also pecial events, such as classic movie nights, which are free with reservations.

Their upkeep on the grounds is excellent both the landscaping and the housing. It's amazing you can walk around these grounds for free.

Do not miss this beautiful, well preserved ranch! You could easily spend 2+ hours here. Very popular for class field trips. Since there is a dirt parking lot (with at least 4 handicap spaces) they do close after heavy rains. Best to call ahead to see if they are open. Numerous clean, modern restrooms. Paths for wheelchairs are clearly marked. Areas for picnics are available to reserve, too. There are some elevation changes but manageable for most. Don't miss!

It was fun to see the wild peacocks that hang out at this park, and learn the history of Leo Carillo and how this actor used this ranch as a second home to get away from Hollywood in the 1930s and beyond.

I didn't see a single peacock here. This place is on tightly-packed dirt, so your shoes and the bottom of your pants will get dirty. You can see the historic home of the original owner, but sadly, you cannot go inside as they are locked and closed. You only see them from the outside. There is nothing to do here other than walk under the sun (hardly any shade), and that's it. They do have nice, clean bathrooms. I wouldn't recommend this place. Definitely not a fun place for kids, either, in my opinion. You can walk through this whole place in 15 minutes. The best part, for me, was seeing the plants.

Always enjoyed our visit here at the ranch! We started visiting in 2020 when the pandemic started. The ranch is spacious and open. This provides ample of distance between our family and others. There are many benches and tables for people to have a picnic and kids to run around. It was fun and educational to walk around and see the architecture of the houses. The best time to visit is March to June. One can hear and see wild peacocks in the ranch. Local residents may not like to hear them because the peacocks are really loud during mating season but it is a joy to many to see the beautiful birds. Did I say that these are wild birds? Please don’t feed the birds and respect their space!!!

We were a group of six, ages 3 to 63, and everyone of us found something to love here. Obviously we couldn't do as thorough of explore as we would have wanted but WOW this place is AMAZING. Incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable volunteers are there to answer questions. The models are varied and so well presented. The Craftsmanship Museum is a real treasure!

Hidden Gem in Carlsbad – A Must-See for All Ages I stumbled upon the Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA, and was completely blown away. Tucked inside a small commercial area, this museum rivals exhibits you'd expect to find in Balboa Park or other major institutions. The level of detail and true artistry on display is unbelievable. Every piece is a testament to lost craftsmanship and engineering excellence. I spent about two hours exploring, but honestly, you could spend days here and still not absorb everything. What makes it even more special is the team behind it—dedicated volunteers who are incredibly friendly and eager to share knowledge. To top it all off, admission is completely free, though donations are encouraged (and absolutely deserved). This kind of craftsmanship is a dying art. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit—and please consider donating to help preserve this amazing space for future generations.

We were nervous about visiting this museum because the website said that most kids under 13 would not enjoy it. Well, we completely disagree! I took 3 families here with a total of 7 kids and everyone loved this museum. There was a 3D printer, scavenger hunts, planes, boats, cars, engines, cranes, miniature doll houses, a model of the Capital building in Washington D.C., and so much more. The scavenger hunts came in multiple difficulties from pictures to fill in the blanks. We found a chef slipping on a banana peel, counted all the cats in the 3-story doll house, found grandpa in the bathroom, viewed one of the fastest remote controlled cars, saw all sorts of moving machines and parts, found the London Bridge, etc. Just be aware that the doll house with the old saloon is as high as it is for a reason... don't lift the kiddos up to peer into the second story (or else they will see a topless call girl waiting for a payer). Otherwise, I did not notice any content inappropriate for kids. I do wish the teaching on machinery and engines was a bit more child approachable, with possibly an area that kids were allowed to touch everything, and maybe kids had the challenge of building a machine or miniature of their own. All of our kids left with 3D printed geckos which were a hit. Overall, this was a fun museum to spend an hour or two (if you have kids, that is all they will handle because controlling themselves not to touch is taxing). Remember to stay with your children at all times to make sure they do not touch anything... and don't forget to fill out the scavenger hunt to earn your surprise. Take the time to talk to any workers using the machines as they are very knowledgeable. Donations are appreciated to keep this museum running... so if you had fun, please donate!

Run by very kind gentlemen, explaining things when you have questions and willing to do demonstration of the exhibits. It's an amazing place, ideally, you should take time to see all the details to really enjoy. I had the time of my life.

Incredible collection of some of the finest miniature homes, aircraft, ships, engines, etc. anywhere in the world! Plan on spending a couple of hours here. The docents are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They do have demonstrations periodically. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here and plan to return in the future. A great visit for ALL ages. A small gift shop is on site, too. Free to visit but they do appreciate donations. Do yourself and your budding engineer a huge favor by stopping here. Plenty of parking as well as handicap friendly.

This free museum displays a pleathera of miniature hand-made builds of a wide range of vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, spacecrafts and work vehicles. Most modules were crafted by ameture builders fabricating all the detailed parts from raw materials taking years to complete. The Museum also includes mini weapons, tools, and vintage toys. Along with a section on wood working crafts, including doll houses and finally crafted toothpick structures of historic structures and wood-worked toys and a scale module of the DC Capital building. A treat for all ages. Friendly Volenteer staff are ready to greet you and answer questions. Donations are gladly accepted and photography is welcome.

The best! Simple the best place for give at the kids curiosity and be fascinated from the engines and co.

First time at Moonlight Amphitheater and we had a great time! Very easy parking, and lots of handicapped parking. The staff are very nice and accommodating, bathrooms are clean and the grounds are well kept. There’s a grilled cheese place if you want a regular sandwich for $14 and their fries are excellent. You can take food in with you and your personal water bottle with whatever you want in it but don’t try to take in a wine bottle because they will stop you. There is a large seating area but it’s the “VIP” section so there are maybe 3 to 4 tables scattered elsewhere so take a blanket and have a picnic.

We recently attended the performance of Prince of Egypt. We really enjoyed the show. The music and choreography were great. There was a problem that did not leave us with a good feel. We’ve been attending the moonlight for many years and we’ve never had a problem like this before but, we noticed in our section. There was a huge gap in seating where there was no one sitting. When the show was about to start, we saw many other groups moving their chairs over so they could be closer to center stage. I don’t think that was a big deal since those areas were all empty. So my wife and I moved our two chairs over and before we sat down, we were approached by one of the staff who told us those seats were reserved. And we would have to go back to our original seating area. I guess that wouldn’t have been a big deal except after she asked us to leave, there was still other couples that were still moving their seats over to get a better advantage point. It was very obvious looking around that we were the only two Black people in the venue. I really gotta feel that that was the cause of the situation. Even though other couples were moving to get better seats, she immediately keyed into us and made us go back to our original seating. it gave us a strong field that we have been singled out because of our race. Photos of the empty seating area are attached. Those seats remained empty throughout the entire performance. After discussing it with my wife, we decided to attend the last show of our series this year and then never attend the moonlight again. This is unacceptable behavior from any company or venue. And from now on, I would not be referring or advising anyone to attend the moonlight amphitheater. Especially people of color. I give it two stars because the performance was great. But the social environment left us feeling very bad. I didn’t mind at all going back to our original seat because that’s what we paid for. It’s just very unfair to allow some and just allow others. I think there’s a word for that. It’s called discrimination.

This place is amazing. The layout is perfect, with easy (free) parking. Sound is flawless, and the lighting is fantastic. Beer and wine are available. You can bring your own water, but bottled is sold on-site, too. Very family-friendly with such a chill vibe.

The Moonlight Amphitheatre is a charming community theatre. I saw Fiddler on The Roof and it was my first and only show I've seen so far. They allow you bring in your own food and drink! People were picnicing while watching the show! So much fun. Love this place, it's a true gem. Keep up the good work Moonlight. Looking forward to attending more shows.

Very cool outdoor venue with Amazing productions! Even the lawn seats are good and they're fun for kids and teens. You can bring blankets and chairs to sit on the lawn, and bring a jacket when the nights get chilly no matter where you sit. Don't forget that you have to walk to the amphitheater a bit from the parking area! It's all downhill though, but on the way back to your car take the shuttle back because it's all uphill!

This is an absolutely amazing venue and every performance I’ve seen here over the years has been top notch. I especially love coming here with a group of friends and enjoying a picnic dinner before the show in the reserved lawn seating or on the grassy knoll. Both locations provide excellent views of the stage. I’ve also tried the grilled cheese and cookies at the food court which were delicious and fairly priced.

I love outdoor theater. The performances are always excellent. I read the reviews about the restaurant and it got fantastic reviews for the sandwich place. I thought the food was OK. Next time I go. I’m going to take my own food or eat ahead of time.

Been over 30+ years that I was in this area based at 29 Palms, used to drive by Cabazon all the time. Back then the dinosaurs were the original color that was in the PeeWee movie. Today, it was a must that the family stopped by to check out the dinosaurs. New paint, and a cool exhibit of over 20+ dinosaurs when you pay to enter in order to climb into the T-Rex mouth. Very cool shop inside the "Long Neck" dino, where you purchase your tickets. Breanna was super nice. Lots of trinkets and gifts to choose from. The other shop at the exhibit walk thru is cool, much more to choose from. Really nice place to spend some time. We were in a bit of a time crunch headed back to AZ, but for time we spent, was well worth the stop.

When one of your best friends says, "Oh man, you haven't been to Cabazon? We need to go,"—listen to them. I’m so glad I did. Visiting Cabazon was a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience that I’ll cherish forever. The main attraction? Two giant dinosaurs—and yes, you can actually go inside them. One houses a quirky and fun gift shop, while the other is a massive T-Rex that's repainted for different seasons and holidays, adding a playful and ever-changing vibe to the visit. Beyond the iconic dinosaurs, I really enjoyed the outdoor enclosures you can walk through. The flowers and vegetation were unexpectedly beautiful, adding a peaceful, almost whimsical backdrop to the prehistoric theme. The dinosaurs throughout the grounds looked well-maintained and in great shape, which made the whole experience feel more immersive. Overall, Cabazon is more than just a pit stop—it’s a nostalgic, creative, and fun detour that’s worth making time for. If you're driving through on your way to California, don’t miss it.

Been stopping here for almost 30 years. Kids grew up stopping here on our vacations now the grand children love to stop here every year. It's now multi generational memories. Cool place to stop with the children.

Just do it, it's right off the highway and even if you don't go in it's a great old world roadside attraction to get a modern selfie with. Perfect for a text or social media update I'm sure your friends will enjoy. They're very well taken care of. The fresh paint really pops. My wife didn't get the point but knew I was enjoying the break from driving and let me have my fun.

This place is totally cool. LOTS of dinosaurs. You can easily spend more than an hour there. Be sure to climb up inside the T-Rex and roar! Very friendly and helpful staff. I may be in my seventies, but I want to have my birthday party there.

I just love the Cabazon Dinosaurs where the famous scene from the 1985 movie Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was filmed at and today's the day of the 40th anniversary when it came out on August 9th, 1985 with the late Paul Reubens. Of course, the World's Biggest Dinosaurs are the best attractions that many parents and children would ever visit! I can imagine making friends with Mr. Rex and Dinny when I was a little kid somewhere between 2005 and 2006. I remember when I first came to Cabazon Dinosaurs where my parents took me and my sister Marina here and all the moments are refreshing my sweet childhood memories.

Such a cute spot! We didn't do the paid offering but it looked fun and worth it. Even just for photos it was a worthwhile visit! Charming.

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.

It's almost like a little desert oasis. Not for Miles is there anything really nice. Then boom. This very clean and up to date outlet mall. I unfortunately was not there to shop. But worked on the Chloe face lift. Its revamped and full of modern and very aggressive light fixtures.

ILLEGAL PUPPY SALES WITH NO CONCERN. Solicitors selling illegally bred small puppies in OVER 100 DEGREE heat absolutely abusing them. Cabazon security did NOTHING. It is very obvious they are peddling animals to the point they are asking people to buy them. Cabazon DO BETTER. Spoke to someone in the office who led me in the right direction to air my concern. Apparently there is different security for different areas of the shopping center. Thank you for being helpful in solving this matter. I will keep my post up to inform others not to support backyard breeders!

With over 50 stores, this place is a shopper's paradise where you'll either find yourself spoiled for choice or tempted to buy everything you see because it’s all so beautiful. It offers a comfortable and peaceful shopping experience, catering to all age groups.

2025 ,Beautiful place beautiful view . Best place to shop luxury designer . The only down side are the outrageously overpriced food court and the trash over flowing and not being emptied often enough.the bathrooms are also filthy old and outdated,shocking for surch a luxury place, the ones in the grove in LA are better . Great parking space.FREE PARKING , which is great compare to LA .huge outdoor mall . Other than the bathroom issue ,definetly one of my fav in southern california. I keep coming back . Very peaceful for outdoor luxury shopping. There is stores for every budget every price range

What fun, we caught them doing an anniversary raffle and we won a Brighton purse!! So friendly and such great deals- did almost all my Christmas shopping!

I've always liked shopping out in the middle of nowhere. I just don't like the other shoppers, most are jerks. But the few stores I shop are amay with some good sales and discounts

Phenomenal place with great varieties of great stores. Fun to pass the time shoppers delight. And tons of great deals with great brands. There are small shacks to buy food and drinks. There is enough parking and even security​ patrolling. And the bathrooms are decent.

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

These outlets are next to each other premium desert hills outlets and the cabezon outlets. Lots of different stores to do your shopping for all budgets. A few restaurants and eateries along the way. Plenty of parking but can get busy. You'll find some discounts in some of the stores. The premises are kept neat and clean restrooms available too. A nice walk with beautiful views of the mountains and sunset. Some art work throughout. Will definitely return.

Absolutely a must stop on the 10 fwy if you're driving to and from los angeles to palm springs. Pretty much all name brands are here. Roomy walkways. Plenty of restrooms and parking. Clean, luxurious and modern shopping.

It's so nice shopping in this area. The stores are very clean and the sales clerks are very welcoming and polite. It's nice to be able to step outside and get a breath of fresh air when going to the next shop

Beautiful outlet that we randomly decided to stop buy on our trip back from Palm Springs glad we did much nicer than the one in camarillo which was really surprising very clean huge variety of stores might be my new favorite outlet to go to now!

Last time I visited this place was 2015, how time flies! It is completely different now and I do think the selection of brands shrinks quite a bit. I’m here for the billabong outlet shops but unfortunately it is closed but not correctly marked in google maps. I hope there are more shops for food and drinks. The Starbucks gets overcrowded because a lack of coffee shops & bubble tea shops. It gets overheated at noon and it’s easy to get dehydrated. When everyone wants a iced drink Starbucks become almost the only shop that you can get a refresher from

ILLEGAL PUPPY SALES WITH NO CONCERN. Solicitors selling illegally bred small puppies in OVER 100 DEGREE HEAT. Security does nothing! It is VERY obvious these people are selling puppies to the point of verbally asking for sales. Absolutely letting animal abuse happen without any concern. DO BETTER! UPDATE: I received great concern on the matter from Desert Hills and say they are taking the matter seriously. I hope this gets solved! I’m keeping this up to spread awareness to not support backyard breeders.

First time visiting. Lots and lots of stores to shop from very enjoyable to walk-through especially at night time. Lots of restaurants and parking spaces as well. They even have a McDonald’s close by and it’s a great for kids because they have tablets on the tables for them to play with while the adults catch a breather. I highly recommend it now we return.

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。

I love this place. It's an easy hike with beautiful views of the city. If you stay on the trail it is paved but if you go off the trail, it's dirt and rocks. Your mostly in the sun on this trail depending on what side of the mountain your on. There is alot of things to look at on the trail and walking it goes rather quickly. Parking is across the street at a park.. so before you reach the entrance there will be a prewalk to the trail.

I'm in the Air Force and was visiting March Air Force Base when I found this gem! Loved the scenic view of Ri erside and the surrounding mountains. Area felt extremely safe and there are several vendors selling refreshments following your hike. I will be coming here every day during my stay to soak in the sun and get a small feel of the local culture.

I been coming to this place for the longest to go hiking with friends and family.. it’s a nice place to go hiking and also I have taken my E-Bike up there too and feels smooth riding it up there. I definitely recommend it for anyone that wants to go check it out …

It was an amazing experience. The hike felt short but the beautiful thing about this hike is that you can create or find a way to loop the hike. I think we did over 2+ miles on the hike even though it was about 1.5 miles from start to top. Definitely recommend this hike. Also, this hike is not secluded so there will be many people here. I love a nice quiet hiking trail where you can hear nature doing it's thing. This is not that lol.

Beautiful and peaceful, gets busy around 7:30 am especially Saturday mornings. Before 6 am the restrooms by the playground are open

Love coming here. The views are amazing! The hike is, well for me, fun and a good workout!

Beautiful hike all the way up. Paved so you can bring a stroller. Minimal shade so being sunscreen and lots of water!

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!

The Lincoln Memorial Shrine has some really cool artifacts, especially the heartfelt letters written back home, they stood out to me the most. The docents were super friendly and knew their history, which made the visit even better.

What a neat place. It’s small but there is a lot to read and learn about. I liked the changing quotes on the wall regarding anti-slavery beliefs. The gentleman at the desk was kind and welcoming. There is a gift shop with good prices on books and other odds and ends. I will go back to enjoy the air conditioning, peaceful environment and to buy more books.

A nice lovely, quiet area to enjoy a picnic; few visitors are about but the chirping birds lending their song to make it peaceful.

Had an amazing visit😁 Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a great time learning about things not taught in School. Also learned they switch out the exhibits yearly. We will be back to see more. Thank you for being so polite and kind and extremely welcoming... Great job!

Would recommend. Great history of the pre and post President. Also, very well done black history section. Don’t forget to donate

Awesome Lincoln Memorial Museum! The only one west of the Mississippi. Original Lincoln artifacts and largest Norman Rockwell painting with Lincoln in it. Must see! The docents are awesome too!

An interesting historical shrine dedicated to President Lincoln, very informative, and the best part is, admission is free!

We went on Tuesday afternoon, very happy that we found parking as we drove by on Sunday and there’s no parking. Very nice view up top, but trail route wasn’t very clear, I think we could go higher? Be careful when coming down, as there’s some frost could be slippery. We couldn’t find any sign up there and kind bushwhacking a bit to get back on trails. We went the end of Oct. I’ve seen a dog, so dog friendly? Saw 5-6 deer. I was told this trail has the best view of the lake.

Parking is along the road and it there is not a lot so go early. Cars also drive fairly fast around the sharp turns so be careful. The hike is straight up so be prepared and take a lot of water. The views make it all worth it. Bring some snacks and find a cool place in the shade where the big boulders begin and enjoy the spectacular views. You do not have to hike the entire trail to get awesome views.

The new parking lot and restrooms make it soooooo much better than having to play frogger across the highway! This trail is pretty steep, so it may not be a good fit for all ages.

Excellent trail. A shorter hike to do on a day trip to Big Bear. Beautiful. It’s a more popular hike due to it being shorter but you don’t feel like there are too many people. It’s straight up big incline for the main part of the trail until you get to castle rock itself, very easy to go off trail and get lost but as long as you keep an eye out for the cairns you will be fine. Lots of paths that look like trail that go off but lead nowhere so be cautious. Otherwise a pretty decent easy to easy moderate hike. You get the Big Bear experience for sure on this hike but short enough to still roam the town before and after. Very limited parking so if nothing available just come back in a bit until someone leaves. You will leave this trail satisfied no matter skill level.

Loved this hike! Probably the most scenic hike for being a moderate skill level hike. Just lovely

It was a very short trail if you're coming from the main road and a decent amount of parking space. I hiked in mid May, so the weather was perfect for me. The trail was a little steep with an elevation of about 1,300 feet I think. The trail leading to castle rock had plenty of signs and trail markings and it was really helpful. There's a lot of flowing water (creeks) all around and with the birds chirping, it was really peaceful. But when you reach the top of castle rock, that's where the beauty nature at its best. The views are breathtaking and so worth the trip!

Likely one of best trails in the Big Bear Lake area - there's nothing truly spectacular and the actual trail length is negligible but it provides a solid workout (incline) and great views! Parking is scarce so be prepared - I was lucky to get a spot on a normal Thursday morning on the curby road. The start of the trail takes you past some lush vegetation near small pools. It is a steady incline past mighty boulders and up natural steps. At the top you are rewarded with wonderful views of the lake and mountains, but it can be easy to lose the trail up at the top.

Stopped by to get some info for hikes in the area, the ladies helped us out and gave us all the info we needed to have a great stay in big bear lake. Also picked up some great big bear merch!! Definitely worth a stop if you are visiting.

Awesome place to get info in town. The moment we walked in a woman was offering to be of assistance. Two ladies were giving information over the phone at the front desk and a man assisted us while we were looking at the pamphlets. Very helpful since some of the things we were planning were not available that day like the trolley and the Museum.

Very nice and friendly people. They have a guided hike available and clean restrooms. The only reason I held back a Star is because side there was no information on FOBBL or Jackie and Shadow.

I totally enjoy it We like it a lot To many little stores I purchase a scorpion 🦂 and a cristal ball All the store the workers very friendly And happy I feel really good about it Everyone who like to come will love it 🌹🌸🌸

Very friendly staff. They had a free photo op booth that was kinda fun

It was an amazing trip for both me and my kids lots to do and lots to see weather was great great for making memories

Very polite staff! Super helpful! Very cool inside
