The Korean Friendship Bell is a monumental bell donated to the United States by the Republic of Korea in 1976 as a symbol of international unity. The bell chimed only on special occasions, like the Fourth of July and Korean Independence Day, but its expansive views of Catalina Island made it a popular tourist destination. It is now located in Angels Gate Park near downtown San Pedro.
This is one of the best hidden gems in San Pedro! We stopped here before heading over to the fish market and so glad we did! Great views and well kept park. I could see locals using this as a great place for meditation, family time & flying kites. There were a lot of people doing that when we went. Parking isn’t huge & I’m not even sure where else you could park but out on the street…the park slopes down to the beach area so I’m sure there’s more parking there….Looks like they close it at night. Wish we had more time here. We will definitely be back to do more exploring!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of my favorite spots we visited while in LA. The views from here are amazing and I bet a sunset here would be epic.
It was overcast when we stopped by but that made it easier to enjoy our picnic and walk around without overheating.
Perfect place for kite flying (see video) as it is super windy and very open.

The bell is set in a pagoda like structure which was constructed on the site by 30 craftsmen flown over from Korea. This is is a 12-foot tall, 17-ton gift from South Korea that marked the U.S. Bicentennial. The Korean Friendship Bell celebrates the relationship between U.S. and Korea.
The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is a great place to go if you're looking to learn about Southern California's coastal habitats. It has over 200 different species of animals and multiple exhibits to explore, all for free!
This place was a lovely surprise. Our family enjoyed seeing what they had in the aquarium. Not a whole lot of collection but we enjoyed looking at the fishes, nudibranch, wave aquarium, low tide pool, anemone, and other creatures. There was no fee required and you just give a donation of your choice. Children would enjoy this place!

Great place, educational and awesome behind the scenes tour. Shout out to SAMANTHA she took us with her while feeding the different sea creatures. My kid is very interested in shark so she took us at the shark pond where they have 15-20 little sharks and tons of eggs. It was so amazing 👏🏼 Girls love it ❤

Small free aquarium with a variety of small to medium fish and sea creatures. Great value given that it's free, though donations are encouraged. The fish and such are fun to look out but don't expect an in depth scientific explanation of their behaviors. It's right by a nice beach and park as well!

The workers are so sweet. They let you know things you’re curious about even if you don’t ask. I came here about 6-8 years ago and there weren’t really any changes. I really recommend coming here for a cheap weekend with family, it’s hot but the ocean breeze makes it worth it.

I LOVED this aquarium, and so did my kids. It’s also free with a recommended donation, and parking is $1/hour. It’s a tremendous value.
The staff are super engaged and seem genuinely happy to be there. It made me really happy actually, that positivity was infectious.
The exhibits are great. It’s not huge, this isn’t the Monterey Bay aquarium (I was there last month), but it was somehow just as fun. My kids were completely stoked by the exhibits and animals on display. The exhibits are well designed and very informative too. You even get to see their lab where the grow and raise animals for exhibit.
Overall I can’t say enough good things. 2-3 hours is probably a good amount of time to spend, but if you read everything you could stay even longer.

What a great little aquarium. Entrance is free, they would like a donation to help keep the aquarium running. I enjoyed the sea creatures and information displays. My 15 year old also enjoyed it. We saw jellyfish and sea horses, when we went to Sea World last mos they didn't have either. The gift shop has cool gifts and mice cold drinks.

Nice little aquarium! Took my grand babies here and they loved it! Wasn’t super crowded, and the employees were pleasant, from the entrance all the way to the end at the gift shop! Had a great experience all around! Will definitely be back when we are visiting L.A again. ( The entrance is free, but a $7 donation is mentioned which I gladly paid for each adult in my party! Well worth more! And parking is $1 hr).

This is such a quaint Aquarium and the fact that it's free. My son loves marine life and he had a great time exploring the giant shrimp, the octopus, the shark eggs and other sea creatures you don't normally see in an aquarium.
I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area it is a little bit tricky you do have to pay for parking but it's a nice little getaway. Also there's not really any restaurants nearby so definitely bring lunch.
Beach review: I already brought food and had our bathing suits ready to check out the beach right by it. Shares the same parking lot. But it was very windy. The waves are very calm and there's practically no huge waves. It makes it easier for someone with children or someone that doesn't know how to swim.

The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is a great interactive “classroom” where people of all ages can learn about marine life and conservation. I am a student at East Los Angeles College, and I had to come to the aquarium for a class assignment. In my experience, aquariums have always been more of an entertainment center than an educational experience. However, this aquarium manages to keep balance between learning and enjoying yourself. While the facility is small, it is very easy to finish and read all of the information in about two hours. First, the aquariums themselves are very well maintained and make it easy for visitors to see which animals are inside. The information boards or signs are also very easy to read and present the information in a non- over the top way, but in a way where everyday people can understand the concepts. Additionally, I really appreciated how open the facility was about exposing the inner workings of the tanks or laboratories and how they manage the breeding of jellies in the nursery. The employees who work at the facility are very nice and seem to love where they work.
Finally, entrance into the facility is completely free, besides the one dollar payment per hour you have to pay for parking, which is a penny in today’s economy. Donations are recommended but not required. This facility is a great facility for families, students, or anyone who is interested in marine life to spend a few hours learning but also to have fun while doing so! I would highly recommend!

Became a member this year and attended their Halloween event the aquarium itself is not that big but still plenty to see and do around as well. Members get free parking and get special invites to their events ..my kids had a blast at the sea scare event and there were music, games, treats. I would highly recommend for a day trip. Oh and it's right next to the beach so you can lounge about afterwards too.

Amazing for the price.
It's a donation system.
Recommended donation is 7 per adult and 3 per kid/senior/student.
There's no food options. If you're bringing little ones pack everything you need. A lot of tables across the parking lot next to the sand. And a nice little playground.
The pier is within 10 minutes walking distance
Parking is 1$ per hour, or max limit of 9$ for 18 hours
**card only **no cash**

Monica Hernandez — Google review
Very small but very excellent. A totally different experience than the nearby and massive Aquarium of the Pacific, which I assume was built at a later date when Long Beach had grown wealthy. It is donation only, and suggested donation is only $7. The exhibits are good, with far more emphasis on actually teaching you something than being good visual candy. The tanks are all pretty small as aquariums go with lots of good information on the accompanying signs. The species are NOT selected for maximum visual impact but rather for interesting facts about their ecological niches and biology. I heard there are good tide pools nearby but didn't have time to see them
The Battleship USS Iowa Museum is a beautiful and fascinating maritime museum that features exhibits about the ship's history and that of the United States Navy. It is permanently moored in San Pedro Bay and can be explored by visitors from its decks, bridges, and cabins. The museum was built in 1943 and served during various wars including World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War.
A quick stop 2 hour tour of this magnificent battleship that plied the waters in service of the United States from World War 2 to its final decommissioning in 2011 to become the floating museum it is today.
The self guided tour takes you to nearly every quarter of the ship. There are other exhibits not associated with the Iowa aboard.
Aside from various small bits aboard screwed down to avoid breakage by guests...the Iowa looks as though she could set sail with a hardy crew ready to helm the ship.
Docents roam the deck ready with history and facts.
The cost for 4 adults is a healthy $95 + change. There is of course discounts for students, seniors and veterans.
Is it worth it?
I say yes. The amount of history aboard alone is worth the cost of a few hours, the friendliness of the docents is more than worth the money and time.
There is a gift shop at the end of the tour... The amount of goodies and curios will keep battle ship fans for another 30 minutes....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I really enjoyed my tour of the Iowa. We had the chance to view the Captain's berth and see the tub that had been installed for FDR. The tour guides were friendly and informative. We had lunch on the fantail of the ship. The hot dogs they sell there are delicious. There's a good amount of container ship traffic so you can sit, eat your lunch and watch the ships go by. Schedule half a day for your tour.
Charles Walker — Google review
Very big ship. Expect 3 hours for this visit.
Used the gocity pass for this attraction. Totally worth it.
History, photo opportunities (look outside the shop too), and look at the life of sailing with different aspects (eating, tailor, barber etc.)
It's quite a long attraction (with lots of printed material) so time yourself well in case you need to visit other attractions nearby.
Follow the markers and you are ready. There's an app but note that the AR experience is difficult given the poor network.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This ship is spectacular, hands down one of the highlights of my road trip. I have visited aircraft carriers and this is maybe even more fun. Very interactive, super hands on, for all ages. If you like boats, you will love coming here.
This massive museum is home to exhibitions on a variety of topics, including space exploration and biology. It also has an IMAX theater and a number of special exhibits that are open to the public with a special exhibit or IMAX theater pass.
3/28/2022 reservations are required as well as vaccination record and your mask! It is clearly stated on their website so I won’t get into more details. This place has the actual space shuttle that took on many missions and alone that was worth the trip. The exhibitions are good for K-12 but catered more for smaller children. We overall enjoyed it.

It was great to see the space shuttle up close. Free after 3pm. Very educational displays.

There are 3 levels grab a map a start your adventure!!!

Very interesting museum with free admission.
Unfortunately, some items need maintenance but it is absolutely worth it.
Being able to see the space shuttle Endeavor live is a truly fascinating experience.

Good for kids. It’s free! There are there are 3 floors but highlight is on the second floor. First floor is just a gift shop and food court. You can spend half day here.

Awesome place, used to come here as a kid, still love it as an adult. My kids had so much fun exploring all the exhibits. The Endeavor was my favorite. Best part is it's free. Parking is $15 great deal for a family of 4.

I recommend to visit. Just remember about masks, and book online your visit, because it's limited!
I thought it just usual Science Center for kinds, you know, like most of them in general. But when came there, I change my mind. For me I open many interesting and useful things. I learned how does work some things that surround us! You can see there history about aerospace , aquarium tunnel and some aquarium that you can seat and watch the fish. Also thanks about fire safety. And the most exciting thing for me was "Endeavour". I just barely heard about it, but didn't pay attention. And there in center, you'll be able to learn more about this space shuttle that was Unbelievable 25 times!!! Also you can see all history of missions, crews and useful things that they did. Just imagine this shuttle was in space in total 299 days, traveled around Earth orbit 4,671 times. Traveled in total almost 123 thousand miles!!!

A great place to take your children young or old for a memorable weekend getaway. There are 3 levels of fun and excitement that takes about 3 to 5 hours of detailed browsing and playing. The space shuttle Endeavor is my favorite exhibit. I get goosebumps every time I go visit it. It is the symbol of the pinnacle of human ingenuity and endeavors. The whole place is free to visit and the Rose Garden outside is very photogenic.

Went for a field trip, there's so much to see and the store isn't actually that expensive! (Some of these pictures are from by a museum right behind, and I'm not sure if they are apart of the same thing. If your able to check them both out, you'll be happy 😁👍

Had a wonderful time! The Mayan exhibit was phenomenal and breathtaking. Very informative and interactive. It's unfortunate that that was about the only thing we had time to see, because we got there so late and the place closes at 5 🤷♀️ Nonetheless, it was a great place to visit.

It's a cool place for kids and adults alike with plenty of exhibitions about many different subjects. It has the largest collection of minerals/rocks that I have ever seen. There is no cost to gain access to the center.

Awesome place to spend with family for a day of science a learning. Exhibits and explanations are just amazing. The wow factor for me was to understand the history of US space shuttles and to see Endeavor space shuttle for real. The scale and size of Endeavour makes you realise the power of humans and the marvel behind the architecture.
A must visit destination for family with kids and space enthusiasts. There is no entry fee but they charge a parking fee.
Monk and the Genie — Google review
I never get bored with this place. The entrance is free, they charge only for the special exhibit, IMAX shows and parking . The highlight of this place is the space shuttle, Endeavour. The cafeteria food is pretty good. Perfect place for the families and people of all ages. It is surrounded by other museums like California African American Museum , Natural History Museum, Coliseum, expo center, stadium and last but not the least the beautiful Rose garden.
Swapna Madhan — Google review
The big attraction here is the shuttle, for obvious reasons. It is truly amazing to see it so close and have a sense of its massive dimensions. The rest of the museum is fine, but nothing spectacular. Still, it is worth visiting if your group has some young kids and you can expect to spend about 90 minutes visiting the museum (maybe some additional 30 minutes if you decide to stop by every exhibit). Parking is easily available in front of the museum.
Alex Lopes — Google review
Absolutely must to go place with young kids. A lot to learn and witness historic endeavour space shuttle - stationed here after retirement. You can visit all type of actually used space capsule with the astronauts details. Very cool. Aquatic section is also fun and don’t miss flash flood demonstrations.

A great place for kids and those interested in science! All of the exhibits are interesting and many are interactive! And being able to see a space shuttle and an aquarium in one trip is something you can’t do anywhere else! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area that has any interest in science!

Neat facility that has plenty to offer to adults and kids! Admission is free but I’d recommend finding a nearby neighborhood street and park there. I can’t justify paying $15 for parking to go to a free museum. Overall, the facility offered unique displays, artifacts, and various zones/sections. Whether you’re an avid space enthusiast, biologist, or nature lover, there’s no shortage of things to see and do that will keep you here for hours!

The California Science Center is one of the best free experiences in LA. I have been going here since childhood and I still learn something new every time.
We came by on a Sunday afternoon, it was crowded but not too busy. It was easy to wander around and explore. My personal favorite was the reptile exhibit. Definitely bring kids! There are plenty of interactive exhibits too.
The food court is a little lacking, but overall the entire museum is a gem. Will be back soon!

The Crypto.com Arena is a 21,000-seat multi-purpose arena located in Downtown LA, which has been home to the Los Angeles Lakers, Kings, Clippers and Sparks of the NBA; WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks; AFL's Los Angeles Avengers. The venue has also hosted Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift among many other top acts.
We went for Disney on Ice last month and it was great! Parking and getting in was easy and quick for those with vaccine records or record of a negative test already in hand. Restrooms were clean and I live that you can order noisy food and drinks online or on kiosks. The show was amazing and we had a blast.

I'm always going to call this place Staples Center or Kobe's place! The arena is nice, the workers are nice, the bathrooms were clean and I had a great time at the Sparks game. It was my first WNBA game and it was so much fun. Those players deserve more support from their cities.

Big, loud, crazy good arena to watch hockey 🏒. Nice choice of vendors , lots of easily accessible restrooms 🚻. The Kings were accommodating enough to lose to my Boston Bruins 🐻🖤💛, so I even got to see a live goalie hug! Great place to Celebrate a Hockey 🏒 Birthday Party 🎉 🥳!

Amazing arena. If you get the chance to watch a team or someone perform here, definitely take it! Just like most stadiums, parking can sometimes be a pain but there are many parking structures beside it or around the area. I recommend parking a bit farther just so that you can get out of the traffic mess post-game though.

The LA Kings game was absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t realize how awesome of an experience it would be at a hockey game on the weekday. Not only was the purchasing of the tickets and easy process but also the parking as well. Of course the food was great. The drinks also. Although it is quite pricey it was still a great experience. I have to give a shout out to the hotdog vendors outside of the venue, those were amazing, and I highly recommend everyone to get some hotdogs before and after the game. I was even impressed with the waiters who came to service in our seats that was an interesting and very convenient feature. I’m definitely coming back and bringing more people with me to an LA Kings hockey game.

Iconic venue in the middle of downtown that plays host to a wide array of sports, concerts, and other events. Parking may be tough, but once inside, everything is clean and modern and there are tons of food choices (the prices, especially for alcohol, are quite inflated though). Even the cheap seats have a good view, although they're a little higher up than normal thanks to all the boxes.

Came for Hockey! LA Kings vs. The Maple Leafs.
Ate food at Salt and Char (their fries were perfectly crispy and good but burger was eh).
For such a frequently visited arena, I would think they would provide better food. Even the Dodger’s stadium has good food!
My husband and I found parking nearby and it was for $30. Didn’t have to walk far at all.
They do have plenty of restrooms so that was good cause them lines get LOOOONG!!
Inside, seating is kinda scary at the top (I feel I could easily topple over) but it’s pretty nice and when the bass is used, you can feel it to the point where it vibrates throughout your whole body and could make breathing feel different.
I’m sure the suites and closer seating is nice. Hopefully, one day can afford to experience that!

My first time there at the Crypt and it was very nice! Went to a Kings game. Kings lost to San Jose.
Since it was a Kings game it wasn't packed so getting drinks wasn't too long.
Bathrooms are a different issue. Long lines even though the arena was half empty. Go early if you can to beat the lines.
Toulong Yang — Google review
A historical place, feels surreal inside. The rafters, the retired jerseys and everything else you see on TV, just come to life. The arena feels much bigger compared to other ones I have been to. The arena does a good job of keeping the crowd energetic. Lots stars can be spotter during the game.
The merchandise store has long lines before the game, but they vwr fast. The store lacks in inventory of different sizes of different product.
There are lots of dining options, but they are all unrealistically expensive. You will easily spend $50 eating a hot dog and drinking a beer.
Overall the arena feels very safe and secure. Has lots of exits, so getting out after the game is convenient.

We went here to watch a NBA game - Lakers vs Suns. It was full of capacity, but we enjoyed. This facility is modern and clean.
Notes:
You are not allowed to bring any food or beverage including water in NBA match. You need to buy so expensive beverages and foods (and not so delicious) inside.

From Australia. Line up was smooth for entry. Staff at security ultra helpful, gave directions and just generally happy. Food was expensive but tasty. Super easy to order as well. Staff everywhere were great. Leaving afterwards was a smooth process. We parked underneath but still quick process. Parking we paid $40 and drove straight in. Forgot to pre book but dumb luck we had great experience with parking. Great experience

Love the games in any seat, it's clean, staff is friendly and nice. The food and drinks are a little pricey, but hey, that's LA for you. Lots of things to choose from and the team shop is always stocked! The Season ticket Reps. are all lovely and very current on upcoming events. The bathrooms are checked regularly and the seats are clean. It's nice to go, but it can get loud as well as crowded.

I came here for the Celtics & Lakers game on 7 December. I had a great experience visiting. The arena is very logically laid out and the food was tasty (albeit pricey). Check in was very efficient and the staff were very kind. Even in the cheap seats I had, it was still a good view. The huge screens help and add to it as well. I even won a jersey!
Definitely keeping this one in mind if I come back for another game soon. Thank you!

I have not been here since about 2013 and I must say it was still an amazing experience. Plenty of concession stands everywhere, restrooms available in short distances. For it being LA the food prices is not too bad, same with the beverages. I was fortunate enough to sean in section 101 row 1, fantastic view of the Lakers game. Staff was very friendly and always available to help with any questions you may have. It was a full house and the energy was great, I will definitely make plans to come back. I might also do a different event all together.

It was clean in the public area, our seating in 300s was not, the entrance for American express holders was perfect to get in easily and parking was free if you go early enough. The down was that the food kiosks weren't open when we went in and Section 300s are way too high up.
They were kind to let us go out front to smoke, but having to have the original tickets to get back in was a pain, my husband had to come get me from the 300s. Maybe they need to find a balcony for the smokers there weren't many or stamp their hands with a different stamp every night.

Went to a Laker game. I liked the stadium. Big and new. But not much to see inside other than the mural. The parking situation is horrible. Paid online for a reserved parking spot for 80 dollars. But when we got into the garage we were just like everyone else. Except they paid 40 to park. We parked in the back area of the stadium. So we did see the little festival area in front for the game. No souvenir cups. Food prices about the normal. Cool area lots to do before and after.

LA kings game was a phenomenal experience. Never been to a hockey game before, and was totally worth it. The light&sound show, the player entrances, and the breaks were so entertaining. We witnessed 3 fights in one game so the crowd was loud. We got a suite and the private viewing was cherry on the cake. Highly recommend the game and the experience!

If you are a Lakers fans or you root for the other team, this is the place to be! It bleeds purple and gold. Full with so much history and statues of Lakers legends, great ambience! Games are electric with passion flowing. LA Kings also play here. If you are willing to walk a couple of blocks, easy $15 parking available close by. Gets you away from crowds too.

It's totally amazing! I went to Lakers' game vs. Chicago Bulls last night. Great game 141/ 131 was the final score 😊. Easy to go in and out, no problem for parking. We paid $40 for parking.

The Broad is a contemporary art museum located in DTLA, featuring a distinctive honeycomb-like exterior. The 120,000-square-foot space houses over 2,000 pieces of art including canvases, sculptures, and immersive installations. The collection includes works by renowned artists such as Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol. Visitors can explore new installations by artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Kara Walker.
Parking is easy and $17 all day on the weekends. You will need to request your tickets online. Masks are required and vaccinations cards are also checked. The museum architecture is really cool. If you do not like art don’t waste your time going here. The restrooms are nice and clean. Would not recommend taking young children here.

Art museum showcasing the Broad family collection. You have to make ticket reservations online in advance; note that the general admission ticket is separate from the infinity room tickets, so you need to make sure you select both things when reserving tickets. The infinity room tickets go fast, so you need to make them at least a month in advance. There’s a parking lot but it’s $17 for three hours; you can try your luck at city lot instead for $9/$10. Tickets are free but they do have special exhibitions which are paid-admission.
Masks were encouraged but not required when we went. No food or beverages allowed. Backpacks need to be worn in front of your body. Some of the art was not kid-friendly, and there are warning signs indicating such. There are restrooms on the second level. You take the escalator up to the third floor and work your way around. You can get a peek at storage while taking the stairs down to the second/first level. Overall, it’s a really fun way to spend a couple of hours to a full day looking at an eclectic mix of art.

Did you know that The Broad gives away free tickets every month? Check their website in the last Wednesday of each month to claim your tickets for a free visit in the upcoming month!
Whether you like the art or not it's clearly a beautiful space, well laid out, plenty of room for exhibits of all sizes, from intimate to enveloping. The staff are diligent in their commitment to keeping the art safe and secure but still allow for curious people to respectfully approach various works close up to admire the details of technique and materials used.
I personally love the collection as an introduction to contemporary art for anyone interested in the "broader" themes (intended) of the modern art world. Not every piece is to my taste but the cultural importance of the collections is undeniable.

Get tickets in advance. The queue can be around an hour if you don’t. The collection of works is great. All American: Warhol, Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein and many more names are here. The museum is also very well designed and even when crowded, it didn’t feel too overwhelming. I had a great time here and recommend anyone in town to visit.

The Broad was a magnificent artistic landmark. A terrific way to spend the time in the center of Los Angeles. The museum exhibits both contemporary and traditional art.
It is extremely advised. The Infinity Mirror room is also complimentary, although it requires a separate reservation. Because the Infinity room has a limited capacity, booking in advance is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

Best to buy tickets in advance online to enjoy the whole experience that the museum provides. General admission was also very cool but will have to come back and buy tickets to see the special stuff. Would be cool if everyone could see everything, but I do understand business is business. We came here spontaneously while I was in town visiting a friend and definitely made some memories. The general admission line for people who didn't have reservations or tickets took us around 30 minutes to get through. Not a bad wait for the experience!

Have you heard of galleries with stuffy old people acting like prison guards? Think again then 😀 Charming and friendly informative staff. The building is a gem with great natural light which feels like it's through Venetian blinds. Then the exhibition which is jam packed full of iconic pop art on a monumental scale in a gallery built specifically for the purpose. And it's free! What are you waiting for? Go and visit

What a great modern art museum and in such a cool building. We got tickets for general admission + the infinity room about 3 weeks ahead of time, for free. You just have to remember to check at 10am on the last Wednesday of the month.
The tickets for the infinity room are timed but we showed up about an hour early and had time to go through the entire third floor and get in line for the infinity room, getting us to the front of the line at exactly our ticket time. We then went through the first floor room in about 15min. We loved the infinity rooms even if you only get 1min. The third floor rooms were more interesting than downstairs with larger pieces.
The building itself is great, with lots of cool dark concrete stairways. We spent about 90min here.

We booked tickets the morning of. They are free reservation tickets but I recommend getting them in advance because I believe they do "sell out". Firstly, the architecture of this building is incredible. The building itself is a work of art and was mind blowing just walking through the entrance. The art pieces are fascinating as well and so entertaining to look at and gain some inspiration from. It was not too crowded and was pretty easy to check everything out quickly. The exhibit is not huge and can most likely be looked through in about an hour. I highly recommend checking out The Broad as it is in a great spot of DTLA and has some iconic pieces.

A gem of an art museum that is more or less a storage facility for the massive BROAD COLLECTION. Just a small portion of the collection is on display at a time but there are some magnificent pieces to explore. Did I mention that it’s free? To get tickets just go online and select your time slot. The whole thing will take you about an hour so it’s a great way to have lunch and do a little adventure in downtown LA while you’re in town.

We enjoyed our visit, but the main draw was the Keith Haring exhibition, which is now gone. It's a small museum, it took us less than 2 hours to see everything.
Undergroung parking was plentiful, but rather expensive. They have a large crew of people directing you to your parking spot.

I visited The Broad with my daughter when she visited from Washington state recently. She had come to the art museum once before but it was my first time and I loved it! All different types of contemporary art- from literary pieces to sculptures- everything was amazing! They have paintings from well known artists like Picasso and Andy Warhol along with pieces by artists I was not familiar with .
You can visit The Broad for free and, although it doesn't require a reservation, I suggest making one online. When we arrived there were 2 sides sectioned off at the entrance. The side for people with reservations was clear and we were able to walk right up and go inside. The side for no reservations was backed up to the outside sidewalk. On the first floor there is also a section of art displayed but to see this part of the museum there is a fee. We didn't visit this part of The Broad but when I do go next time I'll pay the small fee to see this part as well!
I recommend visiting The Broad for anyone who enjoys contemporary art. The staff were all very kind and helpful as well!

I'm not usually a fan of art museums because its pretty hard for me to understand the creative vision. However, this one in particular was all over my Instagram feed, and it looked great. The most popular attraction is the Mirror Room Exhibit. Entry is free into the museum and the mirror exhibit, but you have to reserve your tickets on the museum website about a month in advance, and there are reservation options with and without the mirror room. There is about a 30 minute wait to get into the mirror room, and you only get to be in there for 1 min. That one minute is absolutely worth the wait, since the room is beautifully lit up. Great place to take pictures. Other places to get cute pictures is next to the giant metal balloon dog, and the oversized dining table. It takes about an hour to see the whole museum not including the wait time for the mirror room. Its a great display of modern art for people who love art and also for those that don't really understand it. There are also some other paid exhibits that require separate tickets on the website, but I did not see any of those.

Possibly the best contemporary art museums on the West Coast. Phenomenal collection. Free tickets that you have to reserve in advance from their website. Onsite parking is secure and a bit pricey at $17 on weekends but you can park here and explore other parts of downtown on foot like Little Tokyo, MocaLA (across the street from the Broad, also free) and Geffen Contemporary.

This is a nice pop art museum in downtown LA. The tickets are free, but you need to reserve them online. The infinity mirror exhibit requires a different ticket, but also free. We came here last minute and could only secure the general admission. It's about 1.5 to 2 hours of leisurely walking with plenty of places to rest if you choose to do so. The parking is right under the museum and costs $17 (as of 2/6/24) for three hours and you will need your validate your ticket right inside of the exit door.
Note: you can check out the Miseum of Contemporary Art right across the street. It’s a bit smaller than the Broad, but for three hours of parking, you have enough time to see both very nice contemporary art museums.

Visited this in June 2023. Place is famous for its great masterpieces and infinite mirror. They are very strict with the timing so I suggest you to book an appointment in advance and make it to right time. We really had good time seeing all the arts and creativity. The parking is complimentary if you have booked the visit with them and you need to get it reimbursed/tagged before heading back to parking lot. There are many nearby attractions like vintage cable cars. The skyline 🏙️ from this place is really impressive.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is an iconic, modern concert hall designed by architect Frank Gehry. The venue is the home of the Los Angeles Music Center and regularly showcases performances by the LA Philharmonic. The hall is also popular for self-guided audio tours, which are available at all times.
Absolutely incredible! The architecture is just breathtaking. Every corner that you turn is a new surprise. The concert hall itself is so incredibly laid out that acoustically it's one of the best concert Halls I've ever visited in the entire world. And it's just gorgeous. Visit for the architecture alone, but absolutely enjoy the music. Especially there new works programs. Can't wait to go again.

I was unable to tour the inside for very long as they close at 2pm, however the upstairs garden is amazing. You are able to go through several different floral scenes and fountain. There are also a variety of places you are able to sit, which allows for some solitude in this busy LA area. I would often find myself reading or studying here as this is a great peaceful place to extend your break or stretch your legs. There are elevators available if you have a wheelchair which I found to be very useful! Great spot, glad we explored around even though it was close to closing time.

A very unique building, an iconic place in LA.
I did not attend a show or enter the building, but simply walking around the building and observing its curves, I was impressed at the architecture and design - unlike any other building I have seen.
An interesting fact is that the exterior was supposed to be built of stone, but because of budget shortcomings, it was decided to make of stainless steel. Having seen the steel, I think it looks better than what stone would have looked.
During opening hours, you are able to walk around the entire building. There is a lovely garden with shady trees at the rear of the building, and some nooks that make for a good photo opportunity.

Really enjoyed wandering around the Walt Disney concert hall! There’s a free audio tour with lots of descriptive stops across multiple floors, where you can learn more about the vision of the building, the history, and how it was made. Good narrations spanning many different points of view. An absolutely captivating architectural feat both inside and out. Home of the LA Philharmonic. Hope to be back soon for a concert!

This is a really breathtaking location. Nice architecture, one of the best in Los Angeles. The hall is really well designed, with lovely acoustics that spread so effectively.

It's very beautiful and stunning..we took a tour of the entire building, it's elite. There is paid parking nearby, and a lot of parking areas are there. There is no free parking if u are looking for one. But the best thing is u can also visit the Broad and angels flight and central market. Plus u can also take a metro to Griffith observatory bus stand from that area. So many places u can cover n pay for just one parking.
The hall is marvelous and the building terrace is pretty too. N it's open on weekends because Google says it's not.
There is no ticket.

I went to hear the LA Phil play Prokofiev Symphony 5, two other pieces were on the concert including Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. This was an exciting performance. The piano soloist was exceptional both technically and musically. Prokofiev was gorgeous, this was my first time hearing Prokofiev 5 live and it was a real treat. The orchestra sounds so polished!

This was our first time here, even thou we lived in LA for more than 40 years. This place was awesome and wow. The architecture was top notch, the way it designed and built were breathtaking. The angles, the materials were incredible. Inside the concert hall, well it really was beautiful with excellent designs. We really loved this place and planning to coming back for future concerts.

Incredible venue! Wow! Beautiful architecture (inside and outside). Every corner of this building has an interesting design feature of something aesthetically and visually interesting and different. The acoustics were also amazing. Saw Regina Spektor on 03/07/23. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience

The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a beautiful, magical spot, inside out! A definite must experience place in Los Ángeles. The ticket booth is on 1st and Grand as well as some iconic steps. When you walk in there are lots of staff members available to direct you to your seats/ floor. There is a cafeteria and bar on the main floor. Prices are at a premium yet all the choices look excellent- subs, salads, candy, cookies, chips, bar drinks. The concert hall is absolutely magical. Incredible, clean sound from the bohemian strings performance we listened to. The gift shop is filled with unique and cool items! Large, clean restrooms available. Parking is $10 in the underneath structure.

Directly across the road from The Broad Museum. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is an absolutely stunning work of architecture from Frank Gehry, who also designed (among others) The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. The sweeping metal exterior panels of the building are intended to portray the architects love of sailing.
The Concert Hall's stunning visuals (both interior and exterior)are matched by its amazing acoustics which can be experienced by its resident orchestra, The LA Philharmonic, among other performances by various artists throughout the year.
Guided or self guided tours are available free of charge, daily from 10am to 3pm.

Review for a self guided walk-in tour of the building and grounds.
The building and grounds are stunning. It's worth to walk around and explore. To the left of the building (outside) there are stairs that leads to the gardens with views of downtown. It's a great place to experience the dimensions of the metal structures. A glimpse of Frank Gehry's designer's mind! Great place to watch the sunset and to take incrediable photos.
I was able to walk around the lobby and see this architectural beauty from the inside. I'm not sure if it is open to the public but you should definitely try if you are there already!

Absolutely stunning performance hall. Designed by world renowned architect Frank Gehry for his whimsical yet abstract play with materials and shapes. This design has your eyes looking everywhere.
LA philharmonic was playing. Delightful sound. Ample seating with not a bad seat in the house.
Gift shop is open after shows.
Plenty of parking. Very friendly staff.

Come a little early just so you can walk around the space, this building is designed by Frank Gehry so this exterior is just as gorgeous as the interior!
The acoustics inside are also easily 10/10.
Tips:
Dress Nice
Park in their underground parking lot
Show up 15-20 minutes early
DON'T GET HERE LATE.

We took the subway here. Less than 2 minutes walk to the concert hall. Very convenient and fast. We are here to see Gustavo Dudamel conduct Dvorak on a Friday noon. The Disney hall has an amazing design and architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you are in LA!

Awesome building inside and out. The signage inside could be a little better, but there were courteous ushers at every door, so finding your way around won't be very difficult. The seating is just roomy enough to be comfortable. It was a bit creaky though, and if people in the row above move, you will feel their movement. Sound was great, and views in the orchestra section were amazing. The gardens outside are a nice touch. I would love to come back soon to see another concert. Also, the store had wonderful novelties and gifts!

Frank Gehry's masterpiece. Extraordinary outside and inside. Fabulous architecture but wonderful acoustics and sumptuous materials used. The LA Phil is a world class orchestra. My second visit here and both performances have been outstanding. Just buy a ticket, get there early to explore and enjoy

This place is a perfect traveler destination for the experience if you want to shake up your senses.
Visually beautiful building designed by Frank Garry. The patio outdoor spaces are great with lots of shade.
The interior is amazing. The accustics are really good, even at the very back balcony. The view to the orchestra and performance is great.
I came to see a musical with my kids. It was an amazing experience. They loved it and have lots of fun. It's something I had always wanted to do. Not many people visit this place as an attraction but let me tell you that you are missing out.
Most of the performances are from non commercial artists and that is probably why there is not of interest in attending. Hopefully with more reviews people can start attending and appreciate the building and experience it brings to LA travelers.
Dodger Stadium is the third-oldest stadium in MLB and was opened in 1962. It is located in Elysian Park, in Los Angeles, and has a seating capacity of 56,000. The Dodger Stadium has seen many successful years for the Dodgers since its opening and has been home to an MVP (Clayton Kershaw) and 3 World Series titles.
What can you say , it’s a historic landmark! I love coming to the stadium ⚾️🧢 the culture the team and just the overall excitement of attending a Dodgers game. I find the staff to be always helpful and super friendly. Pricing it is relatively very very inexpensive for what you get tickets range from anywhere between $10-$80 depending on which seats you would like, in my opinion I think they’re all pretty good seats it’s all about the experience. Parking is about $20 and it’s a bit of a walk to the stadium but look at it this way you can walk off your dodger dog and nachos and get your steps all at the same time.
Now, Play Ball 🏟⚾️
Roland Perez — Google review
Fun, fun, fun. Great crowds, lots of parking, good staffing, interesting photo op areas inside the gates, stores for souvenirs, family activities, game day food of a great variety, dodger dogs of course, and drinks for the young and old. Note- cash is not the payment of choice in the stands, cards are preferred if not only allowed. The stadium is well kept & the mature plants on the grounds are beautiful. The sky above the stadium dances with those famous southern California clouds as you enjoy the day at the Ball game, performing "the Wave" with the crowd in the stands. Take YOURSELF to the ball game, and enjoy!!!!

Great place to watch a baseball game but there are some shortfalls. Good selection of concessions and food items especially Dodger Dogs. Due to it being an older Stadium, it is difficult to get around to find your seats as you need to find the correct stairs or elevator to reach your level. Right and left field pavilion seats are on benches. Parking at the stadium is a mess after games. Takes forever to leave the parking area as you are sitting in traffic for over 30 minutes not moving. I suggest you use the Metro Dodger Express Shuttle from Union Station or South Bay Station for a much easier experience getting to and from the stadium.

I went to the stadium tour and learned so many things about dodgers’ history and how beautiful their stadium is! You can also go into the field and that made me so excited! The dodgers is stadium is one of the most amazing stadiums I’ve ever been to! The season has started and I’ll come back to their games next time! I love LA and dodgers. Let’s go dodgers!!

I love baseball and I've been to about a dozen parks, this is one of the best. Where most clubs tear down the old and build new, the Dodgers have meticulously maintained and augmented this wonderful art Deco Park. Make sure to take the tour - yes there is a tour - before the game to get the full impact. Dodgers fans will appreciate the extensive exhibitions throughout the ballpark. Go Braves!

What can you say about an icon that turns 60 this year? I hope I look that good when I'm that old. All of the staff that our little group interacted with were very courteous and helpful. The prices for the food and drinks were a little more than I thought it should of been, but just figured it's LA. The food was very good the garlic fries smelled great.

A beautiful ballpark and awesome environment for any sports/baseball fan. Even if you're not a fan, check out the park for a nice time in the scenic outdoor park.
Some advice: If you do go to a game, definitely go early to beat the traffic or... consider parking outside the stadium to avoid the traffic after the game. Parking is also $20-30!
Jason — Google review
Such a great time! All of the workers were friendly. The parking lot staff had traffic moving in and out with ease. You do have to pre pay for parking. Also they don't allow purses or bags, but you can bring see threw back packs. I saw a ton of people that brought snacks in them. And, we bought smart water for $7 bucks a piece. When the lady checked us out, she told us that they allow you to bring water bottles in the stadium.

We❤️everything Dodgers, including the crowds, the noise, and the stadium BUT they've changed 🌭 vendors (Stick with veggie dogs), and food/drink prices will set you back like Disney. BE SMART=Fill your clear tote with plastic water bottles you can refill for free and a few snacks like🥜,🍿, and cotton candy from the Dollar Store. Then, when you splurge on $20 nachos,🍻, and maybe the (all beef, grilled) Dodger Dog, it won't hurt too much. 😉😋💙GO DODGERS!💙

This is my first time ever in a stadium and I have to say it was an enjoyable experience. Although I am not a baseball fan, I did like the game... besides, the Dodgers won that evening! The stadium has capacity for 56,000 people but it doesn't feel crowded. The seats are well spaced, and the rows are not too narrow. The food was OK. The Dodger Dogs were tasty, but the fries were too salty, and a bottle of water is $7, so a bit expensive (somewhat like airport bottled water, ha ha!). I will say that I look forward to coming back!

Well what can I say, dodger stadium. Attended a game here on our first trip to Los Angeles and of course it was an incredible experience. I read a little bit about the best gate to enter we found proceeded into the stadium. The stadium itself is incredible tons of food and drink options. We're able to get some dodgers clothing for relatively cheap and make our way to the upper portion to find our Seats. The choices of food were a little lacking in the upper portion so I suggest getting what you want to eat on the ground level there is way more options. The view was absolutely picturesque. The game was incredible Dodgers won the game. We left one inning early to beat the traffic and had no trouble getting out. Police everywhere directing traffic and stopping traffic it was a breeze. Yes remember coming in and out there are residential areas so it can be a little tight.

Dodger Stadium has really changed since I was a kid! Downside: Farmer John no longer makes the Dodger Dogs, which seems like a sin. Upside: the Pavilion is a great place to experience the love game but still keep the kids entertained (jungle gym), keep up with other sports (the sports bars) and you don't miss the game because of the large screens and unassigned seating. Make sure you get a pic at field level under the "Blue Heaven on Earth" sign!

My first experience at Dodger Stadium was as vibrant as I've seen on TV. An early setback for the Dodgers sucked the energy out of the place.
Transportation was a breeze, thanks to the Dodger shuttle from Union Station. Despite the queue, the frequent buses ensure an effective boarding experience.
I arrived ahead of game time to snap some photos and enjoy a brief stadium tour. Entry was efficient and hassle-free.
While there was a notable line for refreshments outside, it thins out during the game — a tip for those wanting to avoid the wait.
The Dodger fans were gracious hosts to some Arizona fans I spotted on the bus.

Rick the supervisor was very unkind, I noticed another customer open and extend their shirt and the XL was extremely big. I went up to Rick and told him I didn't realize the XL shirt was so big and if he could do a one time exception that the shirt was still packaged and unopen. He proceeded that he couldn't make that exception that if he did it for me he had to do it for everyone. Now, if you're only going to offer the customers medium or XL jerseys they why don't you mention that before people purchase the tickets. And make sure the fit size chart is available for the customer. Such an inconvenience.

Attending my first game at Dodgers Stadium was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was electric, and being surrounded by fellow fans made it even more exhilarating. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service provided by the staff.
From the moment I arrived, the staff members were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Whether it was directing me to my seat or answering my questions, they did so with a smile, adding to the overall enjoyment of the game.
However, I did notice that the cleanliness of the bathrooms left something to be desired. While I understand the challenges of maintaining high traffic areas during events, I hope the stadium management can address this issue to enhance the overall experience for attendees.
Additionally, while the food options were decent, I would have loved to see a larger variety available. While classic stadium fare is always appreciated, offering a wider range of culinary options would cater to a broader audience and enhance the dining experience for all.
Overall, despite a few minor areas for improvement, my time at Dodgers Stadium was fantastic thanks to the wonderful staff and the electric atmosphere. I look forward to returning for future games and witnessing more unforgettable moments.

The DodgerFest was a really fun event. There were many activities and booths to purchase Dodger memorabilia. It is a fun filled day for kids and adults. The food booths were open and serving all your favorite Dodger grub and beverages. There is free parking and you can sit in the stadium to take a break from all the fun. This is a great event geared towards kids and fans having fun enjoying all things Dodgers

Well it is the Dodgers stadium, a fan friendly home baseball field for the Dodgers. The food fare is great, Seats positioned well, views are great.

Finally, I got to see the Dodgers play here not long ago, and they did not disappoint! The stadium is huge and has some of the best dogs ever!
We enjoyed the game and the atmosphere here. I can't wait to come back next year and do it all again, Lord willing! The parking was the only thing a bit dodgy here. We expected that, though, so no real surprise.
Thanks for a fantastic day of baseball!

It's all in the little details, and this classic stadium has them in spades. From the sun, surf, and sand colored seating...to the beautifully curated landscaping, this place is a jewel. I adore coming here to watch baseball and have fun with other fans. It's always a great time. The staff are friendly and helpful, the parking is plentiful and there are plenty of options for food. Getting in and out of the parking can be busy and tricky, but you should expect that with so many people navigating around it at the same time. I suggest parking farther away from the stadium near an exit for the best experience. Also a good idea to study a map of the stadium before you go so you know which parking lot to use for your seating, so you can avoid having to climb all the stairs to get to your level. Go Dodgers! Blue Heaven!

There are many restaurants and food options too from Starbucks and jamba juice to chipotle, Cinnabon and auntie Annie’s

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

We found the Citadel Outlets really pleasant to shop at. It was not overly crowded like some of the Simon Premium Outlets we have been to in other cities in USA and Canada.

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

Here you’ll find stores like Coach, Nike, Kate spade, true religion, DKNY, and many others at this outlet. Considering it’s an outlet mall, they don’t always have the best offers.

Union Station Homeless Services has been commended for its dedication to helping the homeless community. The program has shown compassion and provided shelter to those in need, including families with children and individuals facing difficult circumstances. Through their efforts, they have assisted people in finding housing and stability during challenging times. The organization's commitment to making a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness is evident through the positive impact they have had on individuals and families.
Union Station has given me peace when I was about to lose it they have helped me so much especially in my time of need shelter is very important when you have children and the program has compassion and are not afraid to show it i really don't know where i would be if it wasn't for Union Station Irwindale and my consulting team Sam Johnathan.

They do not care about your health - AT ALL. They sometimes pretend to care about your wellbeing, but they also do not care about that. Also, you have to fight for your autonomy with them. They know that you are dealing with them reluctantly because you do not have enough money to get by in the current state of the economy. They know that if residents at their sites had enough money, the residents would not be dealing with how they treat people. The United States government does not make sure that its residents have enough money for food and housing. Union Station Services is not the cause, but is a symptom of a nasty problem.

We have had multiple trips planned by Suzie at MG Tour Co and they have all been FANTASTIC!!! We have had trips to Indonesia, Tanzania, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. Every single time the vacation is wonderful. Suzie is great at customizing a vacation to be whatever you want it to be. And it is so relaxing and stress free to have an established itinerary and not worry about the logistics of it all. MG Tour Co takes care of it all for you!

This trip was incredible. My wife and I booked a tour to Greece with some friends a couple of years back during the Summer and had a wonderful experience. We spent two weeks sailing through the Greek islands on a catamaran with a private chef and captain. The entire trip was filled with history, incredible sights and fantastic (fresh and local...Thanks Daniel!) food. I would never have had the guts to try to book something like this myself so I'm glad we went with a company and Mongol Global did a great job. Everything went smooth with no hiccups and it was all relaxing and none of it felt like an organized trip. Just awesome. The trip was worth every penny and we're looking forward to using them again next year for Scotland.

When MG Tour plans a trip, I am always completely amazed that they continue to exceed my every expectation. Our first trip with MG Tour was our honeymoon to Nicaragua. They really understood what we were looking for and designed our trip to start on the west coast in the beautiful surf town of San Juan del Sur, then explore the culture and history in Granada, before flying to the Corn Islands to soak up some sun and eat all the lobster! We saw more, learned more, and relaxed to the max with this combo. Our second MG Tour was to Peru. While our goal was to see Machu Picchu (which was absolutely spectacular), I love that an MG designed trip often takes you to other spectacular regions. We ran around the square on New Years eve with all the locals in Cusco, flew over the mysterious Nazca lines, and explored the vibrant city of Lima. Our most recent MG Tour trip was aboard a gulet boat exploring Sardinia, Italy. Talk about an amazing way to travel. Crystal clear waters, private coves, quaint seaside towns, and a spectacular boat crew. Needless to say, I highly recommend MG Tour. They really listen to what you're looking for in a trip and design according to your desires and budget. With their extensive travel experience, you always end up exploring a place or restaurant you had no idea existed, and absolutely love. Can't wait for our next trip!

MG Tour co did a wonderful job customizing our trip to Peru! It was a hassle-free, stress-free, and worry-free experience! Your travel consultants were very knowledgeable, and their attention to detail was great. Thank you for your quick responses and commitment to your travelers!
Knotts Soak City is a large seasonal waterpark located across the street from Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. With 23 waterslides and a 750,000-gallon wave pool, it's one of the most popular attractions in Orange County during the warmer months.
Great mid week adventure. It wasn't busy either. Water was nice even though the weather was in the high 70s. If you're brave and ride the fast slides, you'll never wait more than a few minutes. We purchased the "Go City Pass" and received huge discounts on entry. Be prepared to pay $30 for parking. Overall, it was a lot of fun. We will return again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Crowded Sunday. Barely finished all rides. Used the gocity pass.
Some issues with dining and cleaning. Only two restaurants where you can dine with the pass, and they are not the cleanest. Basically the floor, trays, chairs and tables are forever dirty, and staff only helps to cleanup every hour I believe. Bird was eating leftover food that was left behind at the end of the day.
The queue management is bad at dining and rides. No system and anyone can queue anywhere that they think is right. The grill place has a left and right queue but both are essentially the same yet many just queue a single side and the staff doesn't manage.
Rides were generally good except where a single staff has to manage 8 queues(4 rides), and people just makes a mess for the poor staff everytime but going down first before signal is given. Safety concerns as two floats went down the same ride like 3-5seconds apart. And riders are supposed to read the long list of attraction notice before riding which is absurd.
Jason Foo — Google review
Great water park! Decent amount of rides. There's a lazy river and there are lots of slides. Great place for kids. Restrooms on site. Staff is everywhere picking up trash and cleaning trash containers. Only 2 places to eat in the park, so limited food choices. Get the dining plan, totally worth it.

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

This is one of my favorite places to go this year! It is really pretty with lots of palm trees, green lawns & green shrubbery! I have gone 8 times(I have an annual pass) in the last 3 months! I absolutely love Soak City! The staff is always friendly,
it is always clean & the restrooms are well maintained! Is is a fun place for kids of all ages!
This dinner theater in Anaheim presents a unique and exciting show where knights battle it out for prestige and honor. Guests can enjoy an unusual and unique experience as they feast on a four-course meal served in a castle-like setting.
Once in a life time experience, upgrade to VIP for 20 dollars more You are able to sit 3rd row, have your name announced, and are provided with a group photo, which would cost the 20 dollars, if you were to buy it there anyways. This performance is outstanding. The food is not great, but the ambiance makes up for it. Please take your children to experience this at least once. I believe ages 7 and up would enjoy it the most.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All other staff members were welcoming.

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

I booked general admission tickets for a party of 12 for my kid's 18th birthday. Always wanted to go & check it out. It was a good experience. The food was decent, you get a soup and bread ( which our bread came out about 45 minutes after the soup ) you get the main meal ( we got chicken, a potato and corn ) which was good! Especially the potato! Drinks which one of my kids didn't gets hers for a good 45 minutes. Coffee and dessert. Which was also good. The server we had was very slow or maybe just overly busy but our food came out slow. We were given a piece at a time and it would take 15 to 20 minutes just to get the next piece...I prefer to eat my food all together. As expected the extras are pricey. No matter where you sit you have a great view. The show was awesome and horses are beautiful. All in all, I would probably return.
This dinner theater puts on a fantastic show with pirates and Spanish ships as the stage. Families love playing pirate for the night and feast on a three-course meal while watching exciting visual effects take place. There are different shows around Halloween and Christmas, so make sure to check out Pirates Dinner Adventure!
Even better experience and show than previous. They have really stepped up their performance. The pirates all come out before the show for quite a while and they individually come out and interact with all the guests. It was great! It adds a personal aspect to the whole experience. Two of my kids were chosen to be part of the show and even I was selected by the captain to join in as well. It's very interactive. There are some pirates that are silly and crack lots of jokes. The food was great. Adults get a choice of either pork or chicken and they are both really good! The kids all get a hamburger, Mac and cheese, and seasoned mashed potatoes. The fountain drinks for kids and adults are bottomless and the dessert was a German chocolate cake. They ask about food allergies several times so that really shows me they're attentive to detail.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you’re looking for a fun experience, go across the parking lot to medieval times. The performance is less corny, the waiting area and gift shop area and bar are better. This kind of seems like a crammed little tiny building with acting that is so over the top you kind of just wanna leave because it’s not good. Food was ok.
There is a chili shortage and there are NO more tours. HOWEVER, the gift shop is still open and staffed by two friendly and helpful women. I gasped when I walked and and was tickled pink the whole time. I've wanted to visit for many, many years and finally got a chance to do so.
So many shirts and designs. There's even a collectible toy that reminds me of the doll in squid game movie somehow. I was even given a free umbrella. Prices are very reasonable for clearance items. Wow, I love this place!!!!!
If you are facing the building, drive all the way to the left and you will see a door to the giftshop. Pose with a full size image of the owner in cardboard.

I love sriracha but I swear to God if you folks don't fix these terrible bottle tops I will FREAK OUT!!!!
They always spit when you open them & no matter how much you protect yourself it'll find a way to get sauce on your clothes!!!
This has gone on too long!!!!
End the tyranny.
I love the sauce.

A cool one-hour tour inside the home of the world famous hot sauce factory with 9 assembly lines and under 200 employees. No bags allowed on the tour, but you can bring your phone, wallet and water. You’ll be given a red hairnet to wear while touring and photos/videos are permitted. Worth a visit for locals and a great place to bring out of state/country friends and family to tour without driving all the way out to Los Angeles for interesting landmarks.
They make their own plastic bottles and sauces in-house. We got to ride on the “Spicy 2” bus to enter the factory for the tour. At the end of the tour, each person received 2 complimentary gifts from the owner David T.- a bottle of hot sauce (3 types to choose from) and an umbrella or plus hot sauce toy for the kids!
Thank you David for being so generous! Love it.

Free factory tour! My mom's house is the city next door, so I had to check this out. It was pretty fascinating to see what the owner had built. They make 3 products (in various sizes) and have been quite successful. You get free chili when you leave! The gift shop has cute stuff you can buy for friends and family.

We went Monday 7/15/19. It was an awesome tour, the employees are courteous and knowledgeable. The new tour guide did good a job. It’s well worth it, i can’t believe the price (wow). If your a sriracha lover like me it’s a must see. The only bad part there was some rude lady that just walked in, she didn’t have closed shoes or make reservations online, just because she knew some girl that is a boss there, she got to go on the tour. The kid she has with didn’t even wear a hair net. She was rude to the employees and people, made a fuss about signing a waiver. I even posted a pic of her. Lol

We came here for Chilly Grinding Festival for a factory tour and it was absolutely interesting and amazing. Everyone from staff is nice, the factory is super clean, you could see the whole process from A to Z, and you get to sample some of their products and get a free T-Shirt as well. They give you a free box of ice cream at the end. Definitely worth to come and explore the factory. Parking is free.
The Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, California, showcases the life and legacy of former US President Richard Nixon through a variety of exhibits and attractions. The museum features over 70 displays that cover Nixon's presidency, including interactive experiences and multimedia presentations that delve into his policies as well as the infamous Watergate scandal.
Had a good time with the family here on a Sunday after 🎄🎅🤶. The intro video at the beginning was worth watching after you pay for admission 🎟️. Make sure you leave your pepper spray, guns🔫, and knives 🔪 at home. Price of admission was worth the value💲. The museum really highlighted the great things Nixon contributes to building America. Well balanced between his early childhood, law career, politics to his last days. Well organized. His childhood home 🏘️ tour was the highlight of his humble beginnings. Helicopter was not open. Had a few roses in bloom not too far from his tombstone and his wife's. Staff were very engaging and friendly. Glad the museum also highlighted some of the bombings that occurred in Cambodia. But, it did miss the amount of Khmer who suffered horrible amputations and death from US landmines and unexploded bombs. Approximately 2.8 tons of explosives 💣 we're dropped compared to 2 tons during WWII according to Bombs Over Cambodia 🇰🇭 by Taylor Owen and Ben Kiernan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I really enjoyed the Candlelight tribute with Taylor Swift. I like the way they set up with the performers in the center, giving everyone, even with the low priced seats a good view of performers. The Richard Nixon Library is beautiful and with the candles set all around was absolutely breathtaking.

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

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

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

Located east of Anaheim in the Santa Ana River Valley, Yorba Regional Park is a popular spot for all types who enjoy getting outdoors. The 140-acre park has a variety of features like lakes, trails and picnic tables that make it a great spot to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Came here for a walk with my dog. We parked outside of the park, so the parking is free. There are paid Parkin available inside the park. There are ponds/lakes. I saw people fishing here. Paddle boats are available, but I don't know how much it costs. There are plenty of playgrounds, volleyball fields, and baseball fields throughout the park. This is very beautiful park, and very clean. There are free plastic poo bags available everywhere in the trail if you forgot to bring yours.
Will come back again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parking: Free if you park by the softball fields on the far west side. The rest you have to pay. Lots of spots on both ends.

Large, popular water park with dozens of slides & attractions, plus an area for tots & a sand beach.
This park is so much fun; I would recommend bringing the kids! Only about 3 rides weren't operating that day, which was great! We got on all of the others! The longest line we waited in was 15 minutes! I will admit, I was expecting a longer wait times. Food was AWESOME!
Make sure you remember sun screen AND reapply! Stay hydrated! 💦

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very bad organization! There is not enough parking space for cars. very long queues for rides and for food. there is not enough space to put your things! no free tables to eat. if you bought a parking lot for $25, get ready to take a bus to the park and then back, there is a very long line back, so it's better to get out early. The food is not very tasty, it is better to take something with you
The California Botanic Garden, a non-profit property established in 1927 by conservationist Susanna Bixby Bryant, features an array of diverse native gardens and plants. Visitors can attend regular classes and explore a nursery and gift shop. The garden is dedicated to preserving native species and provides opportunities for individuals seeking tranquility away from the noise of busy city streets. While some areas are temporarily closed for updating, guests can admire the sounds of numerous birds chirping while walking along peaceful ponds.
I was stuck in the hustle and bustle and came across this gem on my GPS. It was only $10 (can get online or in-person). It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Being, that it was a weekday, there was almost no one. The sounds of so many birds, was incredible. Walking by the ponds and hearing the water, was incredibly peaceful. I was able to take my time and walked the entire garden. Be aware, there are some small freaks, closed for updating. Great place to get away from the noisy city streets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gorgeous place for a leisurely hike. Very reasonably priced at $10.
Such gorgeous surroundings. Wish the trails were a little better marked - but it was lovely to wander around.
Hope to be able to return and see more of the grounds!
My wife and my son took me here for my birthday a couple of years ago. One of the most memorable birthdays I’ve had. When you’re a guitar nut especially a Fender freak like myself, visiting the factory where this iconic piece of musical genius is created is like a trip to heaven.
Jeffery “Rocko” Rach — Google review
It is a hit and miss - I had a friend that liked his tour. But, for me, it was unforgettable in a bad way. I went to the tour in 2016.
The tour guide (I wish I remember his name, but he can be seen in one of the pics, wearing a olive green shirt) was terrible! It looked like he hated that job, or he was replacing someone else. There is a wall with some historic guitars (including some early days Fenders), he didn't allow us to stop and see it. He was constantly ironic, sometimes impolite at people. He mocked my accent (I'm Brazilian) in front of people when I asked a question. He was rushing people.
Despite that, I saw a Limited Edition guitar what was about to be launched and I asked if I could buy that guitar. But the purchase experience (with the same guy) wasn't nice, so I gave up.
Also, when you enter the main tour hall, there is the ModShop room (place where you can assemble your own guitar, putting different parts together) and the professional on the charge of that room was also rude.
Factory-wise: it's just a factory. Nothing different from other regular guitar factories. The pics I'm posting here can prove my point.
Something good: at that time, there was a room with most guitar amps made by Fender, and anyone could give them a spin. On the other hand, there wasn't a lot of guitars to be played.
Anyway, I used to be a Fender fanboy when I was a kid, and that tour was the last straw, shaking my relationship with the brand. This is my experience and I wish I had written it immediately after my visit.
PS: the smile in one of the pics was taken before the tour, when I arrived at the facility.

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

I LOVE TOYOTA ARENA!
I've been to this venue for many years now and it's great for any event! The staff is always in a good mood, especially the ticket scanners, food staff and attendants. Toyota's majority of in-house staff are really cool. The only time of gotten attitude was from third-party vendors or sales associates. Overall, I've had a good time with everyone else. Notice though, there's quite a bit of congestion in some of the corridors and it could feel cramped at times. The seats are a little too tight and the food at the concessions needs work. However, the fries are AMAZING and so are the hot dogs ! The arena is always at a refreshing temperature and is pretty clean. Also, I love the outdoor courtyard, it's great to grab a beer or hang with friends and family! The arena is also highly accessible for people with disabilities! Lastly, I love the opportunity to buy tickets at the box office with a easy breezy process, it's never packed!
Note: Parking is $15 dollars

It is a small Arena style venue in the heart of the Inland Empire. They host a lot of different types of events here; concerts, hockey, wrestling, Disney on ice, pretty much anything that will fit. They have pretty standard concessions (nachos, hotdogs, pretzels, popcorn, etc) and alcohol. Expect to pay the premiums associated to a venue like this. I go for the Ontario Reign Hockey and it is a great experience. Lots of energy and doesn't cost much to see them play
Taking the family can be a great experience and would not break the bank.

What a great intimate venue to attend. There were several entrances which helped get into the arena quick. Came to see Wisen y Yandel and despite their microphone going out, they resolved it, their performance was awesome! The parking was organized well, it was easy to get in and out of the parking lot. I would come back for another concert or show! There are also many restaurants nearby to eat at and a nice mall to shop at as well.

My Son's College graduation was at this location the parking was great and pretty close to the front entrance. Not too much walking at all there were plenty of seats for first come first serve basis. And the view was great the sound system was great and all the employees that I came in contact with were very nice and helpful.

The ability to enter and leave the parking lot is not bad at all. The arena is not large so there is long lines for bathrooms and drinks and limited vendor booths. What really needs improvement is the acoustic system. Will never return for a concert again.

The perfect size arena for great seats no matter wherever you sit and have decent parking. It doesn't take a lifetime to get out of the parking lot after the event because there are multiple exits. I give 4 stars solely because 1 of the women's bathrooms had multiple stalls in a row with no toilet paper whatsoever.

First venue where we were able to get in & out of the parking lot - easy peasy!! All Staff that I came across were absolutely wonderful people, especially Alberto!! Women's restrooms were kept clean & they had LOTS of stalls in the Women's restroom! I needed water... I think it was $7 or $9 for a water bottle. NOT COOL!!! Some of us don't drink & for VERY GOOD reasons, so PLEASE, don't punish those of us that don't drink by charging us quadruple the cost just for a water. Other than the H2o being WAY OVER PRICED......
WE HAD A BLAST!!! Thank you Toyota Arena! 😊

We've been to the Toyota Arena quite a few times to enjoy the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert during the holidays... such a beautiful and very organized show.
Parking for our event was $40 and all cashless. Bags or purses were limited to 12" x 12" only.
This is a smaller venue, but the biggest in the IE and modern. The stairways are not steep at all. Plenty of food and drink concession stands. Sound is great, and the temperature is always perfect in my opinion. Restrooms are clean and have plenty of stalls. Our event had plenty of staff guiding you to your seat in case you need help finding it.
Overall, we enjoy this arena every single event we've been to.

This was a very fun experience. We went to a soccer game, and it was awesome. The stadium is very clean and sanitary. There is one thing I would criticise is that for some Carne asada nachos and a coke, it was 23 dollars. It is very pricey, so if you are on a budget, I would eat before the game and just get a treat at the game. Also,bring a water bottle because they only have water bottle refill stations, and its 9 dollars for a water bottle. Overall, it was a good experience. Would recommend.

I love coming here during the holidays to see the Christmas lights and browse all the shops they have. It does get very crowded and parking can be difficult to find even in the lots outside the mall especially on the weekends. Some of my favorite food spots here are Lucille's, The State, and The Dessert Bar. The mall has a little grassy area towards the center where kids usually play, and during the holidays they can catch a train ride or a picture with Santa. The streets and sidewalks are also wheelchair/stroller friendly, though since it gets crowded it can get hard to navigate inside a smaller store.

I think Victoria Gardens is a great place to shop and eat. It's got such a good vibe and a lot of the great stores.
Plus it has a gravity to it. If you're in the Rancho Cucamonga area for any reason, you'll be drawn there. I was in the area to attend Rolling Loud California and needed some extra warm clothing because of the unseasonably cool weather. I got what I wanted and a great meal all in a place that truly felt alive and vibrant.

I'd you love good food, good shopping, and a great atmosphere then make your way to Victoria Gardens. This place has it all and then some. From fast food to upscale dining, lounge wear to formal it's here. My favorite time to visit is the holiday season because of the decorations and the big beautiful Christmas tree in the courtyard that brings smiles to so many. Great place to take a walk and window shop or people watch with a nice warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa. Fun for people of all ages. Come and enjoy what the IE has to offer. Tonight we celebrated our anniversary at Paul Martin's. Beautiful restaurant with a great menu, bar and staff that makes for an excellent dining experience .

Victoria Garden is the landmark in Rancho Cucamonga especially around the holiday season. The Christmas atmosphere there is simply magical! It is a great place to hang out with friends and family, take a walk or enjoy a good meal in a relaxing atmosphere. However, there have been some safety concerns lately such as car windows bring smashed or cars being broken into. Like in any other places, always be mindful of your surroundings especially when you park your car.

Quite possibly one of the best times that I’ve had in Cali was at this shopping center. I don’t know that I can call it a shopping center. It appeared to be so much more than that. There were a plethora of stores that were appealing to myself as well as my mom and other family. There was no way we could finish this in one evening. There were too many stores and restaurants to name. I plan to conquer this mega-outdoor mall upon my return because I will not be defeated. Plenty of parking and the best thing about it was that it was outside.

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

California Citrus State Historic Park is a beautiful and informative 300 acre park located about 62 miles from Palm Springs. The park is dedicated to preserving the history of California's citrus boom in the 20th century, and boasts well-marked trees and historical signs. Visitors can learn about different types of citrus fruit trees and how they grow by exploring the park's trails, museum, and tours. The property also has a fruit stand where visitors can purchase freshly harvested citrus fruits.
Stopped by during a road trip. Beautiful spot and great views. Well marked trees and historical signs.
Note: visitors center only seems to be open F-Sun but park is open daily.
Make sure to stop by fruit stand off of the main road for citrus harvested on the property!

Riverside National Cemetery, located near the March Field Air Museum, is a significant resting place for veterans. As the third-largest cemetery operated by the National Cemetery Administration, it offers solemn grounds and ample space for eligible members of the armed forces to be buried. Established in the mid-1970s and spanning 1,250 acres, this serene site opened on Veterans Day in 1978 and now holds over a quarter of a million graves.
My mom is buried here in this cemetery. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful place for her body to rest. When it's time for my father to rest his body, my mom will be here with open arms waiting for the love of her life. Thank you to everyone who keeps this place so clean. God Bless!

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

So many stories one can learn from reading the several placards scattered throughout the cementary. Even on a busy day like today you can find areas of tranquility. The memorial to the medal of honor soldiers is a sight to see. I would recommend good walking shoes and parking at the entrance off Van Buren. I was told inside the administration office there are several war artifacts however it was closed due to Covid policy.

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

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

The March Field Air Museum is a hidden gem that hosts over 70 historic military aircrafts, including operational jets. The museum offers an extensive collection of treasures to learn from and contemplate, with the planes on display being just the beginning. Visitors can get up close to these massive machines and marvel at their power.
This is a hidden gem. The museum is much larger than I thought it would be and absolutely filled with treasures to learn and reflect upon. The planes out on the flight line are just the tip of the iceberg - and there are a lot of planes to comprehend. The ability to get so close to these massive machines is breathtaking. My favorite exhibit however is tucked in the back corner of the museum - the story of a WWII aviator in his own words by the letters he wrote home. The story starts at his recruitment in Buffalo NY to basic training to his death is the Pacific and to the recovery of his body. Powerful first hand understanding of the War experience. Look for it during your visit. You'll enjoy it too!

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

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

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

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

March Field Air Museum was absolutely fantastic. Generally admission is $15 but Veterans get a discount. They have a gorgeous SR-71 inside with the canopy open so you can get a look inside the cockpit. Totally awesome. The flight line outside has a wonderful collection of aircraft from many decades of service. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and a joy to talk with while visiting the museum.
Scott Schaefer — Google review
This place is truly a hidden gem, offering more than just the opportunity to see airplanes and artifacts; it provides an unforgettable experience of meeting former pilots such as the great Walter Fus. He shared captivating anecdotes and tales of his journeys, showing us pictures that filled us with pride for our men in uniform and the Air Force. I learned a tremendous amount from listening to him. Witnessing the dedication and effort required to maintain these engineering marvels was eye-opening. Exploring the cabin and being surrounded by controls, switches, and buttons was an exhilarating experience. This place is at the level of the NASA Visitor Center in Florida. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to bring your family and friends along and take advantage of this fantastic place where you'll create great memories that you and your family will cherish forever.

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

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome! So glad I made the drive down here. Worth the traffic. Parking is easy and the museum has plenty of air conditioned indoor space. It can get very hot and, other than under wings, there is little shade in the outside areas. This whole facility is way more than I expected it to be. A huge selection of aircraft, vehicles, uniforms, and much more. Covers all the major conflicts, space, and civilian aviation. The inclusion of memorabilia from other nations is a really nice touch as well. On par with the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH.
Brent Hofmann — Google review
From my point of view, this air museum is one of the best among similar establishments in Southern California. It has a vast collection of military aircraft, including WWII and decades of the Cold War. My favorite airplane at this museum is SR-71. It was a unique reconnaissance aircraft capable of cruising for hours three times faster than the speed of sound. It carried incredibly sofisticated photo cameras and various advanced sensors. Visitors can see this amazing airplane from a close distance and even take a look inside of its two cockpits. There is a nice gift shop inside the museum. The museum's personnel is very friendly and knowledgeable. They also have many volunteers who are happy to answer any questions. It's a really nice place for any aviation and history buff.

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

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

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

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

Compact museum with exhibits about the iconic hamburger chain, at the site of the first location.
It is a free entry museum, and definitely worth the visit if you are in the area, even if you need to take a detour. Lot of history and memoriblia. The staff was very knowledgeable. It is free but donations are welcome. Do not forget to buy your magnet!
Edward Wright — Google review
Unfortunately we passed through early in the morning before they opened but it was still cool to see the original McDonald's. They have all of the very first characters. The Hamburglar on the sign arch is the best. The side of the building is covered in artwork. Very nostalgic. Next time we're in the area we'll try again.

It would be nice if it was a little more welcoming. As much as McDonald’s makes they could care about their history more. I wish they had a better retail area. But after all that complaining it’s a really cool part of American history. Even better that it’s free. There’s a military museum next door but I didn’t go in. I loved seeing all the old toys. N they also have a bathroom. No snacks that i saw.

It was so amazing to relive part of my childhood there. A lot of memorabilia. You can purchase some stickers, souvenirs, and magnets. The entrance is free which is great. It could be a good 45 min approx to go through the museum. I will be coming back again in the future. I took one star away because I think they could do a little bit better on restoring and maintenance for the exterior. It could use some paint and restoration for the iconic children's games.

I will remember this day as a part of History. It was such an honor to go to one of the most iconic establishments where it all started for McDonald's. With all the money that they have as a corporation, I don't know why they didn't keep this open as a restaurant. So many memories. So many iconic stories, but if you're a McDonald's fan this is definitely a spot for you to visit. I will go back as it was closed at 8:30 in the morning but just the stuff on the outside got me the Goosebumps

This place was awesome! All of the happy meal toys that were on display provided for the absolute coolest nostalgia trip I've had in such a long time. The gentleman overseeing the place was very kind and inviting, and even shared some great recommendations for places to stop on my trip out in California. There's even a souvenir penny machine in here to boot! I would recommend this place to every single person who finds themselves driving down route 66 in San Bernardino.

Amazing historical site. This is the place where the biggest restaurant chain of the world was founded. After seeing the movie ‘The Founder’ I just had to visit this, now, museum. The staff welcomes you on a more than friendly way and tells you all about the past of this place.
Erik van Meegen — Google review
This little odd quirky off-beat museum is chalk full of nostalgia for baby boomers and gen xers alike from the boatloads of kitschy Happy Meal toys to McDonald's amusement playground attractions. This place is a time capsule for one of the most significant American pop culture icons at the actual site where it all began. When one enters inside, it is reminiscent of stepping into the Twilight Zone as much as stepping into the past. It is not associated officially with the McDonald's Corporation or any of its restaurants, but it is an homage to the genesis of the very first eatery developed by the two brothers who gave this chain their namesake. The museum attendant is an incredibly friendly fellow. Plus, the entrance is free.

A Bite of History: Reviewing the McDonald's Museum
A trip to the world's first McDonald's, nestled in a quiet town, promised a fascinating glimpse into the golden arches' empire's beginnings. My expectations were a bit mixed, unsure what to anticipate.
While the museum itself could be seen as understated, it held a curious charm. Stepping inside felt like a walk back in time, a simpler and perhaps more authentic representation of the early McDonald's experience. This feeling was amplified for me, having watched the "Golden Arches" documentary on Netflix, which provided context and fueled my sense of nostalgia.
If you're seeking a flashy, interactive museum experience, this might not be it. However, for those with a soft spot for McDonald's history and appreciate a touch of nostalgic charm, it holds a certain appeal.
Here's my breakdown:
Pros:
A unique chance to visit the birthplace of McDonald's.
Simple presentation offers an authentic feel of early McDonald's.
Can be particularly enjoyable for those familiar with the "Golden Arches" documentary.
Cons:
Limited exhibits and interactivity might feel underwhelming for some.
Location in a small town might not be convenient for everyone.
Recommendation:
If you're a die-hard McDonald's fan with a hankering for history, or if you've seen the documentary and are curious, go for it! However, if you're short on time or have other priorities, it might not be the top of your list.
Remember: This is just my personal opinion. Your individual experience could vary depending on your expectations and interests.

A true slice of Americana. The staff, especially Jonathan who served me, were very friendly. The 2 for $3.99 mix and match promo was super considering the burgers are 2, maximum 3 bite sized, but very tasty. The fried apple pie…….DELICIOUS!!!
The museum was cute and if you’ve watched Founder with Michael Keaton parlaying Kroc brilliantly, the experience is even better. I was snapping away like a possessed paparazzi. There is so much history on the walls and cabinets, all excellently explained by the film, running continuously on the TV.
I loved the creative use of space and the memorabilia on display.
It’s definitely worth a visit.

The drive through the neighborhood reminded me of driving down Charter Way in Stockton: a run-down and sketchy neighborhood.
The back lot has a run-down, abandoned building with many different figures outside: a giant rooster, Sylvester, quarter rides typically found outside stores, the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo, and more. It gives off creepy, abandoned-town horror movie vibes.
When we walked in, we were hit with an organized hoarder vibe, and two human manikins standing in the distance dressed in old uniforms gave us a slight jump scare. We walked to the counter and picked up a flyer they had at the counter that showed the history of McDonald's. A voice out of nowhere greeted us. I was looking everywhere for the person that this voice came from. Slowly, a figure seemed to appear from behind the counter, just like a freaking horror movie! The counter was crowded with a COVID shield and other items that blocked the view of the man possibly sitting in the older section that wasn't open to the public. The man seemed awkward while he tried making small talk, but he was pleasant.
As we walked through the rows of overly packed glass cabinets, my eyes became overstimulated by everything to read and look at, and things blurred together. Every inch of the wall behind the shorter, overly packed glass cases had newspaper articles and pictures, but without going behind the cases, you couldn't read. There were items from McDonald's worldwide and even competitor's memorabilia.
If you're not ready for the last turn, you'll get a jump scare from the giant costume standing and looking down at you. On your way out, there is an old marry-go-round and tree with a funny mirror on the backside. There are a few items for purchase: pins, postcards, beanies, and stickers. Oh, the "sister" business next door, in the same parking lot, is an even smaller building for a military museum. We didn't visit.
Overall, we can say that we have been to the historic McDonald's and drove down Route 66. Would we be back for a visit? Only If I was to bring my other two teens so they could mark it off strange things to visit list. However, if we were together during this visit, we wouldn't need to revisit.

Interesting place to visit. It was the original site of the first McDonald's. Some of the sign is the original too. The collection of Happy Meal toys and photos in the museum has to be almost the best if not the best in the world. The person who was running the museum was so knowledgable and gave us all the information about the backstory between the original McDonald brothers and the evil conniving Ray Croc. Great stop well worth the time.
It was amazing!! We took our family for our first camp and i will do it any chance I get! We absolutely loved it.. The experience was amazing

Came for the opening night for the summer season.
It was wonderful to be there, listening to the orchestra, the amazing singer, and relaxing under the stars.
My grandfather Bill Gollan used to play here many years ago as a concert pianist when he owned three local music studios (Gollan Keyboard Music Studios). He had one on Orange street, one in Banning, and a third one I forget where.
My first job was at the Smiley Library, and my High School Graduation in 1988 was held there.
I love Redlands, the culture, the preservation of history, and the gem that Redlands is.
Thank you for a fantastic evening!

What an amazing first time experience in Redlands Bowl! People of all ages gather together to watch Taiko Drummers in their heart pounding performance-literally and figuratively. Their performance was like a perfect marriage of music and martial arts.
The performers were very enthusiastic for enormous crowd. Takes time to get used to it since the pandemic. The cherry on top was you get to watch it for free.
Bring your own picnic mat and folding chairs.
I just frown up some folks living their trash in the seats.
Kindly be responsible and help this long standing free summer open air music for other people to enjoy.
Programs every Tuesday and Friday at 8 pm. No registration required. Hour long performances from artists
