This is such a great place to have weekend get away. The RV spots on the beach is where we stayed. The restaurant and the bar is awesome and the party beach is blast. Our only complaint is that the zip line and other fun things were not open. The restaurant closes to early. The free shuttle back to the RV site is so helpful. I would definitely come stay here again.

Pirates cove is always a great time. We love Camping right on the colorado River with sandy beaches. Then heading down river to the rope swing and pulling the kids on the tube. We have a place we have dubbed. Maui's Island and the kids love it. Pack the ice chest,load up the boat and head on out to Pirates cove. Enjoy the Bar and restaurant, then head over to the general store and don't forget the fuel dock. If you don't like being right on the river there are rv sites next to the check in office.

We have been there a couple of times and though we’ve have had a good time both times, August is too hot to be there and October is a little too cool to enjoy the water. Next time we will be there in September to enjoy both the weather and water.

Its a nice place to stay. All the exterior wood around the place needs sanded and sealed, its looking rough from age. The cabins are a bit over priced and they dont offer weekly or monthly discounts. Both upstairs sinks were plugged and they fixed them the next day but one of them still had issues after they fixed it. The no food or drink allowed on the beach on the resort side of the marina and channel is bogus, especially when the restaurant is closed a lot of the time. Other than that everything in the kitchen is there from a blender to a roaster to pots pans cups plates ect. Beds are comfy too, no shortage of pillows. Its nice and quiet at night and well lit walking around. My stay was for a week for business and vacation. Also be prepared to drive 12miles north or east to find gas under $6 a gallon. Im not sure about the marina fuel price during my stay.

Love launching here and the bar is great! Get a bucket of your favorite mixed drink & share with friends. You won't be disappointed!

Tuesday, June 17 around 4:15 PM I enter the restaurant. I asked a young lady if she could be so kind to clean the table. She wasn’t happy about it. She gave me the dirtiest looking in her eyes. After that she gave Que to another two associates . A gentleman ans a tall slim young lady! When she picked up the table she didn’t bother wiping it down ! I asked her kidly if she could . Looked at me at have Que again to Man! He said to her I got you!! It could very well be my color .. BROWN! Latina and proud ! If you want to discriminate my culture, that’s perfectly fine then stop serving tacos and nachos when that is a Latin item! The great part about it is that I no longer have to be there or eat there however I will be posting it on Instagram and it’s unfortunate that we have people like this and do they know who picks their crops!!

If you’re in your camping era this place is perfect if you have toys, boats and jet skis. We take our camper to this place every year and love it they are little peninsulas but it literally feels like ur at the beach it’s awesome. We take our dog she loves it. Almost Every peninsula has at 4 sites which is cool you don’t share with many people the bathrooms are so clean. They have a place to buy ice cream and ice. Their grill on site was so delicious we loved the sweet teriyaki wings and everyone was nice. Our kids love this place highly recommend I only wish one day they attach outdoor showers or showers to these bathrooms lol my Rv shower is so small. Don’t get me wrong they have showers here but you have to drive to them it’s far. One last request pirates cove can you yall please please replace the cement where the Rv’s park I think they have all just about had it. One last thing that is really awesome about pirates cove is say if I have a trailer and my sister wants to come and doesn’t have a trailer she can rent on there you call them rent one tell them what spot ur on they go set it up it so cool. Thank you Pirates cove for the memories every year see you next year.

I stopped in for gas and to my pleasure, the lovely Heather pumped my gas! She is super friendly and the station is full service. Too cool! Nice gift shop/store inside with cold drinks. Highly recommend stopping. Gas is cheaper than Ludlow too!

Not ADA anywhere. No indoor bathroom. They had several porta potties and only one was handicap available sort of. My wheelchair would not fit in there and you had to go all the way inside where they don't have any ramps to get a key and have them come out with the key to unlock it for you. The other porta potties were unlocked for everybody else to use. There are no hotel rooms there for rent at all, it's not an eating Place cafe at all. They had some snack foods and some Frozen microwavable burritos, Hot Pockets and pizza. Okay I got to see it once, no real need to go back. We were only coming from Barstow just to check it out as part of Route 66 so we had our own water and stuff anyways and a full tank of gas to boot, but make sure you aren't in need of any of those things when traveling through there.

Due to an almost empty fuel, I had to stop here. I am really glad that I did, because not only was the cashier very polite and fueled my car, but this place is a must see for tourists for Route 66! It has the markings on the road and the gasstation offers great souvenirs as well. I would really recommend this place!

A lot of history and an iconic stop my wife and I were excited about even though it's in the middle of nowhere. Now that Mr Okura is gone, it may struggle to stay afloat. It seems like there could be a lot of potential with the café for hungry travelers, but getting water appears to be a challenge so it's hard to say if it will ever open its doors. The motel portion will take a lot of time and money to be viable, but it would be an interesting place to stay. We hope they find a new owner with the passion and resources to bring it back to it's full potential. It appears to be a great place for car shows still.

Stopped to get gas on my way navk home from Vegas. I only have 100 mi. Range on my motorcycle, so barely made it here. If Roy's was not here, I would habe been stranded. The cashier was super nice and pumped the premium gas without spilling a drop on my gas tank. Lovely trip back in time. They have snavks amd drinks for your road trip. Highly recommended as a planned stop.

What a fantastic place. You can see the passion to restore this place. Do not miss this opportunity! There’s a memorial across the street to the man who worked to restore the Roy Motel and Cafe complex. Coming westbound you have to detour around the road closure, but well worth it.

Showed up right at closing the other night. The lady working stayed open just for us to shop for some items to remember Roy’s by! We stop by every year going to my grandparents and always buy something. Quality merchandise and great customer service! Great to see all the history and to hear that the owners are actively working to make the place great again! Wonderful people and a great stop if your interested in history of the area!

The Bagdad Cafe is back - 7am to 7pm hours. Mark has done a great job of restoring the old Route 66 & Movie landmark. If you saw what it looked like as the roof failed, it is simply amazing with all of the flags back on the ceiling and the walls look great. And the hospitality is second-to-none. Got my picture taken behind the counter and a souvenir postcard of myself along with my Route 66 socks. He said the bathroom renovation is nearly done. Kitchen is still closed. There is a GoFundMe to support the renovations.

Bagdad Café is a legendary Route 66 stop with a cinematic soul. It was made famous by the 1987 cult German-American film of the same name. This roadside diner offers a slice of cinematic history filled with memorabilia, signatures from global travelers, and a warm and welcoming vibe. The decor is delightfully eccentric with business cards on the walls, vintage photos, and a jukebox that still hums with desert charm. Whether you're a movie buff, a road tripper, or just chasing the spirit of the open highway, this place delivers nostalgia. When I visited the Café, only coffee and non-alcoholic cold drinks were available. Andrea Pruett, the owner, is determined to keep the cafe open and running as a tourist attraction for photo opportunities, drinks, and souvenirs, allowing visitors to see the movie's iconic interior.

Such a cool place 🤩 Could it be that Willie Nelson was there on 23. May?

A must visit for the Cafe Bagdad movie fans! The area around carries the same vibe of the movies. The owners are super nice, welcoming and respectful.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie location. When I arrived, there were two bikers in front of the door. I said hello and they looked at me very unfriendly and intimidating. The Trump sign on the outside was disturbing. Wanted to buy souvenirs , never made it through the door.

A good restaurant off the beaten path. Good buffalo burgers,my friends all loved them. Nice people working there. Can't argue with the prices thats for sure. All the bikers I know that have stopped here for lunch,or dinner all say they where satisfied with the food and drinks. I don't have any problem recommending this place to anyone looking for a good place to eat and enjoy themselves with friends.

Definitely a "Gotta Stop and check it out" spot on route 66! This is an interesting and apparently International destination!!!

We have been to the ingratron multiple times. Each time as wonderful and healing as the last. We will continue to visit for as long as we can. Make sure to arrive early to check in and enjoy a peaceful moment in the courtyard. Bring a light blanket if you tend to get cold easily. Make sure to fill up on their mineral water AFTER your session. Not suggested to have liquids/full bladder before.

I was very excited to do a sound-bath at the integratron. I have experienced many sound-baths. Sadly for me I was unimpressed with this particular sound-bath performance. I believe the person playing the bowls did not have a lot of experience. It was very one dimensional and flat. Normally my body reverberates with the sound and I thought that given the fact that I was in an acoustic dome that it would be amazing. Unfortunately I did not have that experience. I also was uncomfortably cold as the A/C was on, it was quite warm outside so I get that. I would recommend bringing a blanket.

Wow! If you love mystery, history, and maybe even alien encounters, you will love the Integretron. We knew about the story prior to visiting and did some research. My wife saw they offered a "sound bath" with musical bowls. We were fortunate to get tickets for this great experience. We highly suggest purchasing tickets in advance (a week or two out). We arrived early and enjoyed the grounds and gift shop. Very clean property with restrooms and a bottle refill station. The sound bath was amazing and relaxing. It lasted around 45 minutes, and it let's you disconnect. Highly recommend this experience.

I attended a 60‑minute sound bath at the Integratron in Landers (just outside Joshua Tree), and it was absolutely transformative. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted with a peaceful “hammock village” and fresh lemon water—perfect for unwinding before stepping into the dome. The sound bath begins gently, then crescendos into deep, enveloping tones that literally vibrate through your entire body. Over the course of the session, I drifted into such deep relaxation that I experienced an almost meditative journey—some even see colors or have visions

A most interesting experience to see, feel, and hear. The sound bath experience will play with your senses, very relaxing. Adjusting back to reality takes a few minutes.

Soooo much fun! The sound bath was amazing, I had a deeeply profound experience. The staff really cared about everyone’s experience and provided so much history and context for the building we were in. Maybe a little too much! Haha I would have preferred a longer sound bath and cliffs notes of the history (I had already done my research, that’s why I was there haha) Super fun! Highly recommend They also have a great gift shop!

An absolutely beautiful place! We went on a Friday and thoroughly enjoyed walking the grounds and the sound bath they offer brought our mind and souls to a unique destination. It was fun exploring the gift shop afterwards.

Overall, Barstow Outlets is a solid stopover if you're looking to grab some deals or just stretch your legs during a road trip. Not a destination in itself, but definitely worth checking out on the way. Barstow Outlets is a convenient shopping stop if you're traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Located just off the I-15, it's a smaller outlet center compared to big ones like Ontario Mills or Desert Hills, but it offers a good selection of popular brands like Nike, Coach, Levi’s, Guess, and Michael Kors. The atmosphere is laid-back and generally not too crowded, which makes browsing and shopping more comfortable. You can often find good discounts, especially during holiday sales. That said, some stores may feel limited in variety or stock depending on the season. There are clean restrooms and plenty of parking, which is a plus. Food options are minimal though—mostly fast food or vending machines—so it's better for a short shopping break rather than a full day out.

The Outlets at Barstow offer a convenient shopping stop for travelers with a decent mix of brand-name stores and free RV parking. While it’s easy to access off I-15, the food options are limited and its got some decent stores despite being a smaller outlets compared to LA and Vegas.

Great variety and it makes a nice stop on the way back to Vegas. The best part is you can pull up directly in front of the store you want, pop in and pop out. No need to meander through an entire mall to get to the 1 store you want. Ariat seems like a new addition 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a truly great outlet! 🛍️ We had such a good time shopping here. Old Navy was our favorite — friendly staff, great deals, and a really nice atmosphere. Ralph Lauren was also good, though unfortunately there weren’t that many deeply discounted items. They’ve got Samsonite, Levi’s, and pretty much everything else you might need — all in one place. Definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for good brands and solid prices! 👕🧳💸

Great deals on Van's and many to choose from.

Great halfway stop to Las Vegas for restroom break and lunch. We packed lunch and stopped here to eat. Picnic tables outside the restroom and inside the lounge. Better than stopping at rest area.

I will start by saying no where near the number of stores that used to be here when the outlets were behind these on the other side of the road. OK yes I am dating myself. You got good exercise. The number of stores is growing here now. They are nice stores here. Keep in mind not all of the stores are actually an outlet. But this place is still worth the stop if coming or going from Vegas or if you live in the high desert. Lots of good places to eat around the outlets as well. Like the original Del Taco. Yes much better than the chain stores.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cool place to checkout if you're out this way. It gets hot so make sure you have some water. A hat and sunglasses are advisable if sunny. The artist is super creative and the place is entertaining. We had a good time looking at all the different sculptures created out of the glass bottles and metal.

A fun stop on Rt 66! There is plenty to look at between the antiques,bottles, jeep and signs. The owners do an amazing job maintaining the lot. This particular stop caught my attention during the drive with the sun going down and it hit the bottles just right with all the different colors.

Went out of my way to see this unique attraction along route 66. I have been to a similar rock garden, but obviously this place uses bottles. They had unique artifacts such as an antique fridge and typewriter. There is a donation bucket a little further into the attraction, so if you like it and want to keep it going I'd recommend making any donation. Spent about five minutes there, didn't see anyone other than a couple of visitors. Just stop here, it takes a few minutes and is uniquely weird.

Did a quick visit on this place our way to Las Vegas, its unique, excellent artistry. I was amazed on someone would take time to collect bottles and antiques and turn it into an awesome art. Nice place to take selfies. Family enjoyed our time.

What an awesome place! An amazing collection of bottles and antiques, with a kind of folk art set up. Something you need to see to appreciate and describe. Wonderful photo opportunities. Highly recommend!

Such an unexpected little gem. We came across this while driving along part of Route 66, went for a wander and loved it!

Located right on historic Route 66, which I-15 replaced, this is a really quirky and fun stop. It’s free and also really creative and shows artistic skill. Was built by artist Elmer Long who started in 2000 with his first tree and now there are over 200. Sadly he passed away in 2019 but his art remains. It is now owned and operated by his family so when visiting please be respectful because you are on someone’s private property. The gate was open when we arrived, and there was only one other person there taking pictures. There are all sorts of little things to see within the bottle trees, and it was a nice stop during our journey. There’s plenty of parking right out front, but as mentioned, I would make sure to not leave anything behind or play music too loud because you’re right in front of and on someone’s property. I would definitely recommend and would stop again next time I’m in the area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Desert Hills Premium Outlets has all the major designer stores — Gucci, Chloé, Celine, Tom Ford, and more — so it’s a great place if you’re looking to do luxury outlet shopping. Some stores had long lines while others had none. We came across the Valentino store, and it was the only one where the front security wasn’t pleasant. There was only one customer inside, no line at all, yet he still told us to “wait in line” because they were helping someone. It felt unnecessary and a bit rude, especially when the store was basically empty. It came off like he just wanted to make people wait to feel important. Because of that, we decided not to go in.

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.

I absolutely love this lake and it’s become one of my favorite getaways. One of the best things about it is the trail that loops around the entire lake, complete with workout stations along the way. There’s nothing better than stopping mid-hike to get in some pull-ups or a quick stretch while taking in the lake views. I also love coming here to paddle board. The water is usually super calm, which makes it perfect for a relaxing paddle or even a picnic on the board. There aren’t many motorized boats around, maybe just one or two small ones at most, so it always feels peaceful and safe. There are lots of people fishing, too, which gives the whole place a laid-back, friendly vibe. And when the summer heat kicks in down in Riverside, this lake feels like the perfect escape. It’s cooler, breezier, and feels like a mini retreat just a short drive away. If you’re looking for a spot to work out, paddle board, or just unwind in nature, this lake is definitely worth a visit!

I went there the day after Labor Day this year and had the lake to myself. They have kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards and power boats for rent. The whole place was so serene and you could hear nature all around you without motors or other distractions. For parking, I recommend getting the app that they link on their permit to purchase time. I needed to add more time and it was easy to do it from the kayak instead of going to the parking lot. The park is well kept and they have plenty of activities for you to do even when the water park attractions are closed. Enjoy nature. 🌲

We had a great time at Lake Gregory with friends. We arrive around 9am to get parking in the main lot and get in line. When the gate opened we were in a good position to place our tent in a prime spot. Since we were meeting friends, we connected two tents for everyone (about 30 people). We headed straight for the water course. Those who get in early before max capacity is reached don’t have to wait in line and they get to stay out longer. As the park reaches full capacity, they make the overflow wait in line and limit sessions to 30 minutes. One word of caution. If you are an adult, it doesn’t take much to launch your child (see video). My child won the belly flop contest, but was comforted by the cool video our friend took. Food is edible, they run out of ice cream flavors early and bathrooms are a longish walk from the swimming area. There is a slick of sunscreen on the water from all the bodies in there’s This is not the place to go for a quiet, pristine beach day. This is a fun place for kids and groups!

A nice spot for a fun day trip with the kids or dogs. If parking at the main parking lot, you will need to pay. Additional fees if fishing or boating. There are other areas of the lake that are accessible if you park along the side of the road. Dog park, hiking trails, beach area & restrooms are also available. Family friendly.

The kids had a ball, except The lake should limit how many tickets they sell. It’s $33 dollars for the day to use the bouncer and the slide and there are so many people that you have to wait 30 minutes in the sun in line. When they are at capacity. So either lower your price or control the crowd that is allowed to be on the lake. Parking is horrible. Lots of walking. Food was good and restrooms were clean. We will definitely go again but rethink how we go about it.

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

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

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

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

Great service and atmosphere will be going back

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

So much fun

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

🏁🏁🏁🚘

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) A sacred place for guitar lovers. I think the tours were every Thursday. Be sure to make a reservation. Occasionally, a Japanese guide will be provided, but in general the tour will be guided by factory staff. Please note that you cannot enter with sandals. (Original) ギター好きには聖地そのもの。 見学は毎週木曜だったかな。かならず予約して行きましょう。 たまに日本人のガイドがつく事もあるそうですが、基本的には工場のスタッフがガイドしてくれます。 サンダルでは入れないのでご注意を。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a wonderful time visiting the animal sanctuary and were happy to contribute by purchasing some donation items for the zoo. It was heartwarming to see the rescued animals being cared for, although it was sad to learn that many had been mistreated in the past. The highlight of our visit was getting tickets to feed the animals, which was an unforgettable experience. Visitors could choose to feed lions, bears, or tigers. My husband chose to feed a lion, which seemed to be the most popular option. Unfortunately, the first couple in line took a long time feeding the lion, so by the time it was our turn, we were only allowed to feed it three times. While we understand the staff needs to regulate feeding portions, it would have been nice if they managed the time more equally for everyone. This sanctuary is best suited for visitors 18 and older, as feeding the animals is an activity reserved for adults. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the venue itself is unique and versatile. It’s a cool place to host events or simply relax while spending time with the animals. We’re looking forward to staying overnight next

We can't say enough good things about the amazing work done at Lions, Tigers & Bears on Alpine, CA, just 40 minutes from downtown San Diego. It's a truly certified & accredited sanctuary - no touching the animals, no photos next to them, they are in huge enclosures with grass and dirt under their paws, and may live out their rescued lives in peace. I have close-ups of the animals, but you don't see the huge areas they live in that mimic their natural habitat as much as possible. The white tiger in with the orange tiger, we saw them when they were almost babies and maybe 20lbs, they are now 150lbs. We always see something different each time we go. Being a member is a great way to go often. San Diego is lucky to have the Zoo & Safari Park out here, but Lions, Tigers & Bears is another not to miss experience if you are nearby. These are wild animals that have been saved from lives of abuse - like two of the lions rescued from that Tiger King scum. Lions, Tigers & Bears help save 70 of all his Tigers and found accredited homes for the other 68 felines. Did you know white tigers are from specific purposeful inbreeding and they have eye and health issues due to it - pretty yes, but WRONG to be bred like that. They also just got a "liger" (pics 13&14) - purposefully bred lion & tiger - WRONG!!! So many health problems. Poor thing. In person, we could see her very faint tiger stripes. She is getting used to seeing people go by and acclimating to the sanctuary. Never stop at an unsanctioned or non-accredited roadside "zoo," nor anything involving wild animal petting, ANY animal circus, animal fights, exotic animal "hunting," or where animals are chained up and/or in small, concrete floor enclosures. Those are not safe for the animals - tell your kids "no" and that you'll take them to a real, safe zoo or sanctuary (and always check their credentials). And if it is a domestic animal farm, still look for cleanliness, do the animals look well feed, humane conditions, no choke-chains, antagonizing, or other harsh behavior. Stop by and see the Lions, Tigers & Bears whenever you can - it should be on everyone's SoCal experience list!

An absolutely beyond-this-world experience! We were deeply moved by Bobbie’s story and truly admire her courage and dedication to rescuing animals and raising awareness about the heartbreaking reality of exotic animal trafficking

The pre tour video is a bit long, and the story is sad as it describes the poor treatment the animals received in the movie and circus industries, as well as by prior individual owners. However the animals are well treated now and the volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable l. They clearly care about the animals. The tour guide on Saturday is a school teacher and did an amazing tour! Everyone in our family enjoyed the visit. A great value.

It was a great experience! You have to buy your ticket in advance, because the experience consists of an organized tour (1.5 hrs), and then you can roam the grounds on your own. Eddie the Jaguar was amazing. The sanctuary was very clean, with well-maintained enclosures and spaces that made both the animals and visitors feel safe and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always ready to answer questions or provide more information about the animals and their stories. You can also feed some of the animals, which is cool. The sanctuary itself was beautiful, set amidst picturesque surroundings that added to the peaceful atmosphere. It was easy to get to as well. Large highways most the way, and NO winding mountain roads, which is nice. I left feeling inspired and grateful for the work the sanctuary is doing. It’s a perfect place for animal lovers and families. However, small children may not like some of the images of abused animals during the 20-minute video at the beginning of the tour. Great experience. Highly recommend!

The park is very clean, and the animals are well taken care of. The website says to wear comfortable shoes as the paths are dirt. A more accurate description is that the pathways are gravel and sand and slippery. Had I known, I would have worn hiking boots. I slipped as I was walking down a hill on the way to my car and sprained my wrist. Badly. Railings or steps should be installed around the property. The terrain is uneven and gravelly. More attention should be paid to the people who visit and not just the animals.

My husband and I visited the sanctuary from the east coast as part of a week long vacation in California. Even though this was only two hours of our trip, it’s all we’re still talking about now that we’re home. We did the Feed With a Keeper tour and had Chris as our volunteer guide. I was impressed with how passionate and knowledgeable she was about the animals. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. We even got to talk to Bobbi briefly and the lead keeper, Cody. Our tour was closer to 3 hours, even though we only paid for 2. She wanted to make sure we had plenty of opportunity to meet and feed all the amazing animals. Being that close to and interacting with the big cats and bears was absolutely awe inspiring and I’ll never forget it. I work in the animal behavior field and spent many years working in an animal shelter and was impressed with the care and enrichment the animals at the sanctuary received. Truly a special place. I wish we lived closer, we would come back again and again!

Viejas is a beautiful Casino. The chandeliers and lighting are exquisite. The rooms are beyond beautiful and the decor is priceless. They have many new slots I've never seen before with high end graphics. The only thing I found odd was that we were not allowed to use the refrigerator even though we had purchased the food at Viejas. But all and all a fantastic place. I highly recommend it. The snack shop has a lots of healthy food and is open all nite and is very reasonable. I found an interesting way to get up there rather than just taking 8 frwy. There's alot of side roads that offer beautiful scenery and no traffic at all.

I feel like I'm at home whenever I visit Viejas Casino. Atmosphere is so casual & friendly. But you can dress in the finest too & feel very comfortable. Great selection of games & there promotions & free offers are outstanding. The whole surrounding area is so Serene and a beauty to look at. I feel very tranquil looking at the scenes from anywhere at Viejas. The rooms are outstanding. Very clean throughout the whole place. And every staff member are so nice, friendly & helpful. I felt like family & like I belonged. And plenty of great places to eat with some of the best food I've ever eaten.

I Actually Like This Casino, Hotel & Outlet Center. I Definitely Had A Good Time In Casino With My Friends From LA. I Definitely Found Some Good Sale's @ The Gap. We Had Lunch @ The Grab & Go. Oh Yeah The BBQ Sandwich, Fries, Clamchowder, Free Cold Drink & Cheese Cake. Oh Yeah Everything Was Delicious. I Totally Recommend This Awesome Casino.

A three sounds about right for this one. The staff is nice in all departments. The variety of slots are nice. The variety of table games isn't the great compared to others. Food is really good. Did have a problem with the pool at The Willow. I don't know how they would let someone bring glass candles to the pool. They had to shut down the pool and re drain it. I do recommend this location to other as long as an incident does happen like that again.........

We didn't stay at the hotel, we went for the ZZ Top concert. The only service we used was at the bar. Great service and a generous pour. The venue is nice under the stars but the folding chairs you sit on were not at all comfortable. They are zip tied together so you can't move them which makes sense, but the main issues are: The chairs are too close together, I was shoulder to shoulder with the guy next to me, not comfortable. The other issue with the seating is there is no center aisle. Our seats were in the middle so to get out, I would have go past about 22 people! Seriously, the rows had 45 chairs in the row and we were 23. Great seats for the concert and ZZ Top was amazing! They still got it. Loved the concert, venue, not so much.

I love this casino.... especially playing "2cent whales of cash" and the workers are nice..... they do have alot of informants walking around trying to snap a quick picture of you , acting like they are on the phone, knowing dam well theres nobody on the other end of the line.....

Coming from a NorCal avid casino goer, this was a very good casino and only 40 minutes from SD. Rooms were a little cramped and the floor had a ton of machines only feedback was the weird layout. Food options were great as well as a 24hr grab and go.

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.

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.

Great area for family. However they don’t seem to keep up with the playgrounds. They are covered in spider webs. A quick power washing would help this. From the of it it has not been serviced in a while. I would think to prevent spider bites for kids they would. Also 3 big wasp nest in the bathroom. Looks like they haven’t been cleaned from critters as well.

Our family has been coming here for about 4 decades. It's a nice place to take a walk and let the kids ride bikes safely. Lots of parks and overall pretty clean. One thing I have noticed on our last few visits was that it is becoming more evident that people live here full time. I don't care about someone's living arrangements, but it's a bit strange when it starts looking like a swap meet with random kitchen appliances laying around while the rangers tidy up and rake patterns into the lot next door. Also, I've never noticed people smoking before in the camping section, but this last trip, there were several.

We just go to Santee Lakes for picnics, and sometimes to just walk around. There is an entry fee to park inside, but you can also walk in if you park out on the street close to the entrance. On some weekends it's actually easier to park on the street for free than to look for parking in the lake parking areas, so we usually just stick to the street parking. It's nice here, the lakes look clean, grass is nice and well maintained, and the bathrooms are good. I enjoy coming here.

The man on duty driving the parks truck on Sunday was way too aggressive and driving like a crazy person. He needs to relax and realize families are here to enjoy the park. I hope he’s not armed, he seems unstable. This was Sunday 9/7/25, 3:30pm

I've been to these lakes 5 times.. paid the fees to fish and never caught a single fish. I've come on the day after they "stocked" the lake.. or when they claim they stocked the lakes and not ever a nibble. There are way too much grass in the lake and not enough fish. I wonder if they even stock the lake when they say they do. I've fished lake 3, 4 and 5. I've done night fishing when they had it. I've tried all kinds of fishing styles. I might as well have drove up, thrown my money into the lake and gone home.

Last summer my grandkids wanted to try out fishing. I bought a pole for each grandkid and all I wanted to do was supervise and teach them how to fish. I did not have a fishing pole nor was I fishing. Why did I get charged an adult rate to fish, especially when lots of people sneak in without paying. Hmmm

Never caught a fish there. And you really want to charge me a day rate use to drive my kid and drop him off for 2 minutes? No thanks.

It's a beautiful place. Not overhyped. Most rides and attractions were operating. Relatively clean park. It is overpriced but ok if you get an annual pass and can return over and over again for a year for that price ($99-230 I think). Customer service is really not top notch when it comes to dealing with the benefits and perks for Platinum and annual card holders. Get your systems in order or choose either online or face to face only for printing cards. Food is overpriced but good. Maybe have roaming staff that helps people find their way. Get rid of those vendors that charge $5-35 per game. Clean the kiddie pard and baby coral a bit. Okay sorry for the over analysis. I love Sea World. I may spend more time than I should there and really am stating every problem I could think of. It's such a fun place and staff are really happy to be there. The animals and sea creatures seem calm and playful.

What an amazing day! We took our children for the day whilst on holiday in California. Sea world did not disappoint. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the whole park was immaculate and it was fairly quiet on our visit which took place on a Wednesday. No ques for the rides. Good seats for all the shows and you could easily see every animal with next to no crowds anywhere. We will 100% return on our next visit to California

This park had very friendly staff, it was clean and well maintained. The rides were fun and I enjoyed the orca and dolphin shows. It received 3⭐️for the following reasons: 1) The park was open until 7:00pm but there were quite a few attractions s that closed at 5:00 or 6:00 and at least one - the Jellyfiah - were supposed to close at 6:00 but they closed it at 5:30. There really needs to be some notification on the website when you buy tickets (not I. The fine print if it’s there at all). And it also wouldn’t be hard to put it on the app. 2) The food was exorbitantly expensive for what you received. The chicken sandwich, for example, was $18 plus tax and was a bun, chicken patty, and two pickle slices. It can with a side of fries but we’re definitely not a ‘large’ fry. Paying amusement park prices for food is expected but at least make the food worth the price. Overall I would go back but I would definitely verify the actual park hours and bring your own food if it’s allowed.

This place is amazing, the park is clean and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Only addition that would have been awesome to see on at the park is designated areas for service dogs to relieve themselves at. Like a small little tiny classy area with a small fence and gate where you can let your service dog relive themself like they have at Disney and Knott's Berry farm. Other than that the park is amazing.

I recommend buying tickets in advance. General Parking is $40 card only. No cash. Family fun, lots of things to see, you can touch different kinds of sea animals. Longest wait time for a ride was 80mins.

I was curious about Seaworld because I wanted to see the orcas. Seaworld has stopped its breeding program and the remaining orcas will be its last. I went on a Friday and the place wasn’t too crowded or busy. If you plan to come here, I would recommend visiting the attractions and checking their showtimes and plan around their shows. They don’t have a physical map and their app is a little hard to navigate with to figure out where you are in the park. They have water tanks where you are able to touch the sea creatures like the spotted shark and manta rays. They also had booths where you could purchase feeding trays for $10 to feed the creatures but they were all closed during my visit. Seaworld is quite small compared to the SD zoo and I didn’t realize but it is an amusement park with rides. You aren’t allowed to bring bags to the rides so you’ll have to rent a locker to store them or have someone hold onto it. Can’t comment on the rides since I didn’t go on any of them but being an extra change of clothes in case you get wet. The orca show lasts about 20 minutes where you’ll be able to see orcas do tricks and splash you. I would recommend getting there about 20 minutes beforehand if you want to sit in the center. They have rows labeled as “wet zone” so avoid if you don’t want to get wet. If you want a more personalized experience, I would recommend the “close up encounters” but it is quite expensive. They can range from $100-$500. We paid for a beluga whale experience that lasted about 15 minutes, where meet the whales and they allow you to touch the animals and chat with trainers. It was a nice experience especially since I wasn’t able to see them in their tanks. Overall, I would skip Seaworld if you are only here for the animals.

We visited SeaWorld San Diego with our daughters, and it was such a wonderful experience! The shows were amazing, the animals were beautiful, and there were so many fun activities for kids. Our girls had the best time they loved every moment! Everything was clean, well-organized, and the staff were very friendly. It was truly a memorable family day!
