Beautiful drive and views! Lots of tight curves though on drive and roads are not very wide so take it easy and recommend a car vs large vehicle.

If I only do it once in my life time. It was the highlight of my ride to California. I remember this pass the most out of my 2400 mile Oneway ride. The Real Wild West is right in front of your face. (5600 total miles).

Definitely worth the detour, take it slow and easy. Seriously tight turns and steep drops. Well worth it for the view, interesting to see all the old cars that didn’t heed the speed warning.

Fantastic drive with incredible views. Take it easy and use the various pull offs to take photos. It is less scary to head up the road from Oatman than coming from I40. A top 10 drive in my book.

You are a part of history up here, walk around and take a look at all the markers of those that have passed. There's a bunch of crosses, and markers of people some really old that live their other lives. All their lives. It's very cool up on top oh, and please keep it clean. #templemastery

Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar

$$$$affordable
American restaurant
Step into the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar, a historic Old West venue that has been transformed into an ice cream shop and American eatery. This establishment is located in a building with a rich history, rumored to be haunted, and was originally built in 1902 as the Durlin Hotel. After being rebuilt following a fire in 1924, it was renamed the Oatman Hotel in the 1960s.
The food here is delicious!! Such a unique menu and the portions are huge! I would definitely recommend the pulled pork it’s amazing. And the buffalo burger tastes really good. Both we’re definitely hits 😋😋

This place was awesome! The town was created in 1915 as an old mining town and you can see that in how the town looked. There's a lot of tourist stuff there too unfortunately we didn't get to see everything and plan to come back again, also not only that but they had a western show in the middle of the day for everyone to see as well. There's donkeys as you walk around and in the middle of the street as you're driving there so please be careful besides that the whole thing was just a great experience.

Not very far from Las Vegas, in the town called Oatman is the 'Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar' which has US Dollars stuck all over it. The site is very unusual since this is not merely a decoration theme but real currency notes, also called a 'Bill' in the US. I found this to be a cool place to check out while doing the Route 66 road trip in June 2023. These dollar bills were originally left there for the miners to buy food since they would go into the mines and come out after several weeks. These bills left for them by passersby would ensure they were not starved. The tradition continues to date, except people also write their names on the dollar bill. There is also a gift shop and museum attached to the restaurant, but they were closed when I visited.

The staff was friendly. The live music made for great atmosphere. The food was great!1/3 pound burgers made fresh were great. Our food came pretty quick and we were able to see the gun fight.I enjoyed the onion rings and fries with great burgers.The dollars all over the room was a cool sight. Hope to come back the next time I’m here.By the way, the name says hotel only for recognition, they don’t book rooms.

This is the only place in Oatman to get a meal but that's okay because it's a great choice. The Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar is no longer a hotel, just a restaurant with a full bar. From unique atmosphere to the terrific service we thoroughly enjoyed lunch here while visiting the famous burros of Oatman.

We came around lunch time and thankfully there was an open table. The special for the day was Sloppy Joe's and fries. Food was hot, fast and delish! They have homemade fried potato chips called Burrow Ears (a play on words as there are burrows everywhere) with a salsa and sour cream dipping sauce. The Patty Melt was divine! 😋 better food and prices than what we paid for a buffet at one of the casinos in Laughlin. Must come see this place and experience a "shoot out" right outside the door and help donate to charity! Don't forget to tip the staff well! They serve hundreds of customers a day.

What a wonderful park and trail system for local residents and tourists alike! We visited the area twice yesterday. We drove down near the dam and walked up to the dam itself and down along the River. There is a great playground and easy river access. Later in the day I walked our energetic German Shepherd up the Davis Dam Overlook trail from Davis Campground for a nice 4 mile hike. There are a number of trails with different access points, water and restroom facilities. Each of the trailhead/parking lots appears to have an onsite host/employee residing in an RV. The trails are well maintained and marked. There are story boards explaining the trail system, history, the river and the dam. Her are also large maps of the trail system in numerous locations along the route.

Beautiful trails that take you through the AZ/NV desert! After hiking the trails my personal favorite was the Desert Trail while my least favorite was the High Desert Trail. The former is the longest of the trails, but I find the hike very peaceful. The latter is missing proper signage and can be mistaken for other unmarked trails. For beginners or those with fur friends the Riverwalk trail, Davis Dam Trail, and Davis Camp Trail are paved. ☺️

Entry was free if you have a players card. Also children under 18 get in for free. Otherwise it was $3.50 for entry. Lots of vert beautiful cars on display, some of which were marked for sale. The lady at the gift shop said that for the right price most of them could be purchased. There was also a lot of vintage memorabilia from trophy truck racing to ww2 items. Very clean with outstanding staff eager to talk to you about these awesome cars. Highly recommend especially if you have or get a players card which is also free.

Truly a 3-star hotel. We stayed in Executive Suite - the most expensive room in this hotel. The room itself is pretty big but that’s the only thing that is good. Everything in the room is very outdated. Air vents are dirty and looks like there is mold on them. Bottom part of the furniture has a thick layer of dust. Every morning we got a back pain from the mattress and rock hard pillows. Couldn’t sleep half of the night. The sound insulation between the room is very poor. Every morning at 6am I could hear our neighbors talk in their room. Room has a balcony that has no chairs to sit on - useless. For 2 people we got 1 small soap bar and 1 small body lotion tube. No shampoo and no toothpaste. That’s in Executive Suite, rates are double compare to a regular room.I gave it a 3 star and not 1 star because I realize it’s a 3-Star hotel and I can’t expect a 5 star service. But with few minor improvements they can make this hotel so much better.
Gene T — Google review
A car museum like no other. This is the place to be if you enjoy looking at antique cars. The large collection of these vehicles is unbeatable given how rare some of them are. Entrance admission at the museum is free for anyone under the age of 18, and adults (18+) if they have a player's card. Otherwise, it is only three dollars per adult. Reservations are not needed, as staff work very quickly to get people in. The museum is quite large and takes about half an hour to an hour to see all the cars they have on display. Overall, highly recommend visiting.

Love this place. I visit every time I go back to Laughlin and I always try to stay at the Riverside - it’s the OG spot for sure. Sometimes the cars change, but a lot of the old ones are still there. My fav is always the Delorean (pictured), and I think the family of Don Laughlin (RIP) has done a good job keeping this place looking nice. I have so many memories of my parents taking me there in the 1980s. Love this place.

There are two separate car exhibits at this casino. May the odds be ever in your favor if you’re meeting up there. Both are 5 star so you won’t be disappointed. The gift shops fun with lots of options. There are lots to look at besides the cars if the cars are not your favorite. It’s definitely a well rounded place. Well organized, clean bathrooms in the gift shop area, quiet area, friendly staff. It’s a nice place for a date or just to get away from the casino crowd for a bit. Reasonable cost, no line, amazing collection!

Harrah's Laughlin Hotel & Casino is a vibrant property offering entertainment, a casino, and eight dining options, along with a river beach for relaxation. The hotel is pet-friendly, providing accommodations for four-legged friends in specific rooms and offering specialized pet packages. Located in southern Nevada, the resort features traditional-style rooms with amenities such as flat-screen TVs and blackout curtains. While some visitors suggest updates are needed, the hotel is renowned for its luxury offerings and stunning views of the Colorado River.
Who knows if the machines are looser, but we still had a great time.***ATTENTION***July is EXTREMELY hard, so be prepared. You need water shoes or sandals! Sunscreen! And hydrate!Beach access (the water is so refreshing). It's a really good-sized area. Watch the hot sand.The adult pool was under maintenance, which overcrowded the family pool.Rooms could use an updating and be aware... heat rises (those top floors get pretty warm in that desert heat).I'd recommend $25 daily water taxi passes. This basically covers the entire side of the river. Unlimited rides, so after 5 rides, it's pays for itself.Jet skis are also available for rent near the Beach area.

The rooms are hideous!! 1989 style and shredded drapes! The finish was gone on the coffee tables.... Just take them out along with the drapes!! Very few cocktail waitresses and not many jackpots going on. The best part was the steakhouse. This place is out in the middle of nowhere so be prepared to travel. I'll probably go back but I won't stay the night.

My family and I stayed here for 1 night due to an event being nearby and we were split up into 5-6 rooms on different floors and towers and we all had similar issues with our rooms. My wife and I had a 1 King bedroom in the North Tower and at first look the room is nice but once we actually got settled in we immediately noticed a handful of problems.Firstly the space where the “included refrigerator” was completely empty. There was no fridge. The bed frame was split into 2 platforms to support each side of the mattress but 1 side was caved in so the bed was completely lopsided and it made for an extremely uncomfortable night of sleep. There were 0 towels when we got in the room so we had to call housekeeping to give us towels and they didn’t even give us enough towels even though we asked for a specific amount.After using the bathroom sink for just washing our hands the drain completely stopped draining so we ended up having to use the shower for washing our hands and brushing our teeth because staring at sitting water in the sink was disgusting. There was still hair on the shower walls from previous guests. Our AC was barely working and apparently that was an issue with our other family members’ rooms as well. The door to the bathroom was crooked so you had to physically push/pull the door to get it to open or close.We sucked it up just because we were there for 1 night but I can guarantee I will never stay here ever again due to the horrible conditions.On the plus side the staff was very friendly and the casino floor does have nice inclusions like an arcade and a Smash Burger.It was cheap for 1 night so I guess you get what you pay for.

My friend and I had a wonderful 4 days. The only things I would suggest is there should be more seating for the kiosk eating facilities. The frozen yogurt with fruit parfait is wonderful, however; there is no place to sit to enjoy it. Same is for the pizza place.. Just grab and go. The selection of slots was good. The pork chop special at the Beach Cafe was disappointing. Mine was very thin and mostly bone or gristle. Our rooms were very nice, clean and accommodating. I'll look forward to my next visit.

My room was sparkling clean and I appreciate that smoking rooms are still offered. Andrew at the Chances bar is one of the best bartenders I have ever had, and I returned the next day specifically to see him. The casino could use a larger variety of slot machines, but overall it was nice. I will absolutely stay again!
Matthew K — Google review
First I will start with the service.Quite frankly it was horrible, It took almost 15min to get assistance from Valet. They had 4 check in kiosk at the entrance and 3 did not work. Only had 1 representative at the check in desk with a line out to the door. Took over 45 minutes just to get checked in.We were in the “renovated” North Tower. Not sure what was renovated but it definitely was not the AC as it felt like you were in the Sauna as you waited for the elevator and walked down the hallways to the room. The amenities state the room (North Tower king Suite) comes with a fridge as well a refrigerator which our room has neither.The family pool was also disgusting, lasted five minutes before we decided to leave. They had no towels, the pool looked like it had not been cleaned in months. It honestly smelled like urine the minute you walked down the stairs and turned the corner to the pool. Definitely not worth the price we paid.
IG C — Google review
Not the best hotel. Our room was hot. It was end of July so it was hot outside too but you would think the amount of money people sink into this kind of place would warrant them to make the rooms nicer. I had maintenance look at our AC but it didn't help. Several other guests told me they had the same issue. The room was clean at least though so that's why 3 stars. The room was also missing the refrigerator and safe which was a minor inconvenience and the sink faucets were backwards. The adult pool was closed for whatever reason and there were like a thousand kids there so going in the other pool was not happening.

I pay for an upgrade it view to the river, but as you can see, I don’t see the river and look at the curtains maybe because I’m too spoil at the M resort and Yaamava casino unless you are really old old you will enjoy this place. I’m sorry I can’t give you better stars, when we get to other casinos 9 AM or 10 AM our rooms are ready. They don’t charge you. You don’t have to wait until 4 o’clock here we checked in at 10:30 and you get charge $ 17.99 to check in early. And the rooms they kind of have a bad odor. Sorry I just the truth

I had stayed here once about 10 years ago. It appears to have been refreshed since my last visit. We thought that the staff were friendly. The hotel room was clean. The restaurant choices were good and the prices were very fair. Payouts for reasonable on the slot machines. Too bad that they allow smoking. That was the only real drawback. Many other options are available for your entertainment including the Colorado River. If you want a great experience go here for a week

This place is very clean and a great place to get together. It is a party environment but they try to keep it family friendly. It is a long Marina sided with boats the whole way. They have a convenient water taxi that runs the shore line if you want to go to the bar: restaurant.The bar often has live music and the food is good. Drinks were reasonable. They are very anti smoking or vaping. There are sign’s everywhere and they say if caught you and your group will be asked to leave. We are fine with that but if you partake you should be aware.They do have lots of courtesy docks for the bar restaurant my 4 star rating comes from the $35 fee to park your boat on the shoreline. It was free, then $10 and now $35. Quick inflation. Holiday weekends it gets crowded so find your spot early then enjoy the battle of who has the loudest sound system.

A little slice of paradise in the middle of nowhere! The staff was super friendly and they did their job in a professional manner. The kids and I were a little bummed about not being able to play on the pirate ship, but being on a peninsula with basically a private beach definitely made up for it. The "public" restrooms by the peninsulas are actually clean and well kept. Upon our departure we booked our next visit, so it's definitely a keeper on our camping list!

Amazing RV campaign place to enjoy a lot specially fully hook up. The whole family had a wonderful experience. The only bad thing was a lot of bugs during the night. Be prepared to show car registrations insurance and Driver license on your arrival and paid extra $20 for any boat or off road vehicle. You’re able to have extra family camp out in tent for another additional $20 per vehicle.

It's been 40 years since I visited Park MoabiThen to Now is an amazing transformation.Pirates cove is family oriented fun spot from end of March to November. For 15 years they have changed this Park Moabi Regional Park into a wildlife refuge area as well as a perfect spot to call your own getaway for your stay. Upon our arrival Shea checked us in and gave us detailed information about all the amenities the park offered. We got a little lost and the security guard Jim was super nice enough to have us follow him to our site. Gorgeous site over looking the rivers water front.I am surprised to see that snowbirds have not found this place to be the perfect quiet getaway for a older couple to relax and enjoy to serene views of the Colorado River and the wildlife with it.We started our day with some fishing and caught a great sized Bass that fed us for dinner.Then rode the razor off into the desert to feel like we were the only ones on this planet.Once we finished our ride,We had a fresh icy cold beer and some yummy pretzel bites and wings prepared perfectly to orderJack our Server was a nice gentleman who answered any questions I asked about the resort.Sitting on the patio watching the birds come and visit us and the pelicans landing in the bay was a special treat. We stopped in and did some shopping in the boutique where even my Dog was greeted with love and affection.We found some great memorabilia.The amenities offered are far more then I can transcribe. But even if you don't have a camper you can rent their pirate themed cabins right on the water front.as well as the water park and charter boats that will take you back and forth to Havasu.Shuttle service to and from your camp spot to allow you to enjoy be pampered.I read a lot of bad reviews on this place but I could not find one complaint!Thank you for a memorable experience!

Nice cabin, peaceful and beautiful. Only wish the restaurant stayed open a little later than 6 PM. We checked into our cabin at 4:30 and were starving by the time we got settled. Nothing open for food or anything else. Would have been nice to have been warned about this when booking so we knew to bring food for the first night. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I chose this place to spend our mini vacation and we did not regret it. Sometimes you want to relax the city and people, and we had it. We liked the hotel, the room was clean and cozy, on the first floor there is a cafe. Drinks food we were also pleased, we also tried desserts, the portions were large, it pleased. From small minuses, it is the attitude of some local people from the staff, which with some disdain treated vacationers. Otherwise everything is great, there is a casino, bar, also a pool and jacuzzi.Definitely recommend this place for a romantic trip 💞💘

Took the ferry over. First time to the casino. Ferry and casino staff were friendly and attentive but the morning bartender in the lounge was a bit put off by me asking for drink prices (no price list on menu) she looked at me like I had two heads, such a bad attitude and condescending tone, purchased my beer and got right back on the return ferry. Disappointed.

Ferry needed to get you to Hotel-Casino does not transport cars. (So yes it’s really a boat). Make sure you pack your belongings appropriately, otherwise you’ll find the so called “Ferry” experience “less than desirable”.

Played at the casino, had drinks at the bar and ate good food at the restaurant. Got back in the ferry and enjoyed the evening walking by the London bridge then back to our car and to the hotel. So convenient and loved the lake.

Can only share about the restaurant. Place is nice enough but they must be short staffed like everywhere. Was seated but after 30 mins we left as did 2 other tables because no one came to take our order. We came for lunch, didn't get any, played a few slots and got back on the boat. Oh well.

Located on the California side of the lake so no need to go through boarder inspection. The lake views from the rooms are wonderful. The rooms are very nice and the price is reasonable.The restaurant has a great menu and the ribs are a must. The service was very good as well.The casino is small but has enough slot machines to keep you entertained. The bar is fully stocked for those that enjoy alcohol. Definitely come back to enjoy with the family.

A bit outta the way but soooo worth it. The rooms are clean and very nice. The casino was fun! It was great being able to eat at the restaurant and take in the beauty of Lake Havasu. I will definitely be coming back here

What a great experience! The staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly and the hostess and waitress (and even the busser) at the restaurant were very kind and attentive.The swimming pool was nice, but it was a little bit chilly.... BUT, that's okay because the jacuzzi was really toasty!MY ENTIRE FAMILY LOVED THE ROOM AND WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OURSELVES. Taking the ferry across the lake was a great big bonus for my kids. I have to admit I had a great time as well. It wasn't just the kids having fun. 😁😝

Small gas station in middle of nothing. Hot as Hell it is the only place where you can refuel your car and get some cold beverages to cross the dessert. It is a must on the road, staff is super friendly.

This is a really cool place in the middle of the desert. They make some fantastic chili dogs, the store itself has a lot of cool stuff, and they pump your gas for you. The people who run this place are very nice and always enjoy the visitors. I stopped here on the way to San Diego from Las Vegas and it was the perfect place to stop and eat.

Roy's Motel and Cafe is a beloved Route 66 landmark that has been closed since 2005. The motel and cafe were once a thriving stop for travelers along the Mother Road, but the construction of Interstate 40 led to a decline in business.Despite its closure, Roy's remains a popular destination for Route 66 enthusiasts. The motel and cafe are in a state of disrepair, but they still exude a charm that is hard to resist. Visitors can take photos of the iconic neon sign, wander around the vacant buildings, and imagine what it was like when Roy's was bustling with life.The future of Roy's is uncertain. There have been efforts to restore the property, but it is unclear if they will be successful. In the meantime, Roy's stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when Route 66 was the main highway connecting the eastern and western United States.Pros:Historic Route 66 landmarkUnique atmosphereOpportunity to see a piece of Route 66 historyCons:Closed and in disrepairLimited amenitiesOverall:Roy's Motel and Cafe is a must-see for any Route 66 enthusiast. The motel and cafe may be closed, but they are still a significant part of Route 66 history. Visitors can take photos, wander around the property, and imagine what it was like when Roy's was a thriving business.Don’t forget to stop by the golden Buddha down the road!

Such a rad place! I've always wanted to stop. But for some reason have always detoured north through Vegas on the way from Tulsa to Los Angeles!! After receiving a print of the Roy's sign from @sradonfilm I had to make sure I stopped. Grabbed candy. Drinks. And a rad conversation with the crew! Don't miss this stop!

My husband and I drove through here many times while he was stationed in 29 Palms. We would take this "shortcut" to Vegas. Many times I taunted him with the idea of exploring the abandoned elementary school. He turned me down time and time again. One night back from Vegas, I, passed out likely hungover my husband abruptly pulled his car under the overpass hidden from incoming and outgoing traffic.. The pictures will tell the rest.

I have gone by this location for decades and never stopped until this trip. They had people arriving by small planes. They were also serving hotdogs for $6. There are restrooms (portable) outside and a convenience store inside. The road from this location heading to Las Vegas is being repaired due to a washout.

Stopped by for a photo or 2 on my Route 66 trip. Appears that the gas station portion is open? A very cool and iconic Route 66 stop, a must-see for anyone on this journey. I was there at a weird time, as it wasn't quite dark enough for them to turn on the neon sign, but still needed headlights for driving. Twilight, if you will. The Amboy post office is across the street, appears to be operational, but would have been closed when I arrived. I believe they are restoring the motel rooms, and you can go check out some of them to see how the rooms are laid out.

Bagdad Cafe
$$$$affordable
Restaurant
Quirky roadside cafe featured in the namesake film has buffalo burgers, cheesesteaks, beer & more.
**Restaurant currently not serving food. Drinks only until early 2023**I can't rate the food yet as they are renovating and only offered drinks.The atmosphere is as eclectic and busy as I hoped it would be. Signatures and writing on the front door as you come in, pasted dollar bills on the wall, patches, pictures and more. Make sure you sign the guest book!Something to see everywhere you look. The ladies that own and operate the cafe are sweet and fun to talk to. We had a great conversation for almost an hour.This was at the beginning of Nov 2022. They said renovations would take several months so, don't expect a meal until the first part of 2023 or at least call ahead to see. But, go for the fun of it, take pictures and chat.There are busloads of tourists that come by several times a day so it will be either really busy or empty, depending on your timing. Definitely worth the stop. We'll be back soon to see what they've done with the place.

I was here over the summer in 2022, and they were not serving food OR drinks (or at least, it did not look like any drinks were available).I did have to come back twice - the first time, there were angry-looking dogs inside and someone filling up water jugs outside said that the owner was in LA for her birthday.Assuming that she would be back in a week (and the scary dogs would be gone), I came back, and sure enough -- success!It's such a kitschy roadside attraction, but there's SO much to look at inside and chatting with the employee was super cool. Definitely worth a drive (or two) to check it out, but agree with the other reviewers -- it didn't look like they would be offering food or drink at any point in the near future.
Alison Y — Google review
It may be a Route 66 roadside attraction-But truly not worth the trip.Being stuck in time is not the worst thing, but this is on a whole different level.Pretty disgusting to be honest, I took my kid on a road trip, but was extremely disappointed with this visit. Not really a recommendation for children. If you decide to go, you’ll see what I’m saying.

Just magical and the owner is absolutely charming. You are also offered a refreshment as soon as you enter. Everything is in its juice, the sign and the ionic caravan are still there. To top it off, the film Bagdad Café was on television when we passed by. Unforgettable, I won't spoil the inside for you.

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

映画のロケ地、ラスベガスからロサンゼルスに抜けるルート66の途中にあるカフェです。映画のシーンとはかけ離れた静かになってしまった寂しカフェは、いまでも訪れるひとは少なくなりましたがまだあるようです。映画での印象よりかなり時が経つていますなので知らなければ立ち止まる事もない寂れたカフェになります。ラスベガスからロサンゼルスへ車での移動の際は、立ち寄ってみてください。映画さながらの決して美味しくないコーヒーを頂くことが出来ます。とても残念な事がありました。管理人の女性は歳をとりすぎてしまったのか、1杯5ドルのコーヒーを頂き、チップと合わせて20ドルを支払ったのにも関わらず、もう一度請求をしてきました。残念に思いましたが、もう一度20ドルを手渡しましたが、もう2度経ちよる事はありません。良い思い出を台無しにしないように気をつけてください。(Translated by Google)This cafe is located on Route 66, which runs from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where the movie was filmed. The lonely cafe has become quiet and far removed from the scenes in the movie, but even now there are fewer people visiting it, but it seems that it is still there. A lot more time has passed than the impression in the movie, so if you don't know about it, it will be a deserted cafe that you won't stop by. If you are driving from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, please stop by. You can enjoy delicious coffee just like in the movies. Something very unfortunate happened. The manager was probably too old, but even though I had received a $5 cup of coffee and paid $20 with a tip, she asked me to pay again. I was disappointed, but I handed over the $20 again, and it never happened again. Be careful not to spoil the good memories.

グランドキャニオンへ車で向かう途中I-40から平行して走るUS-66に入ると道沿いにありました。カフェ兼お土産屋さんですが映画の雰囲気のままでした。食事はしませんでしたが店内の見学はできました。行ってよかったです。3kmほど東に「ルート66のロードサイン」があるので併せて訪れるとよいと思います。(Translated by Google)While driving to the Grand Canyon, I turned onto US-66, which runs parallel to I-40, and found it along the road. It's a cafe and souvenir shop, but it still has the atmosphere of the movie. I didn't eat there, but I was able to tour the inside of the restaurant. I'm glad I went.There is a ``Route 66 road sign'' about 3 km to the east, so I think it would be a good idea to visit it at the same time.

Must-do stop on Route 66.Whether it's for the view or for nostalgia for the famous film "Baghdad Café" which was a hit in Europe in the 80s, you have to take time to stop, go inside, chat with the charming lady who takes care of the restaurant.A pleasant encounter with a kind person and a breathtaking landscape...!I will return on my next visit!

Historical landmark

The Integratron is a unique, parabolic wooden structure built in 1954 that offers tours and sonic healing sessions. Visitors can enjoy a magical sound bath experience while relaxing in hammocks and soaking up the positive vibes from the friendly staff. The origin story of The Integratron is fascinating, making it an intriguing adventure for all Earthlings to experience. Additionally, the location provides an opportunity to explore Joshua Tree Park and witness the beauty of the Milky Way in this dark area.
Went there today…all I can say is that if you can go then go. Even if you can’t take part in a sound bath it’s still cool. But, if you do get to partake… Wow😲 Definitely New Age but definitely not a tourist trap…desert’s beautiful and Giant Rock is only 3 miles away…
Jack M — Google review
How do I put into words what cannot be understood-only experienced...This place is magical, miraculous and mystical. I've attended many of sound healing sessions, but none like this. In fact, the 1st session at 10:15 with Kristine was so phenomenal that I attended the one directly after with Karly, and the third with Joe at 5:15. All mind blowing. Each was profoundly healing and transformational. The family owned staff are top notch. They keep the grounds well maintained, decorated just right, preserve the sacredness of Integratron's true nature, and above all are so kind, welcoming, and personable.The acoustics, space, energy, and healing that takes place are like no other.Come experience this for yourself. I invite you to go to the depths of your soul and experience true wonderment.

I have gone to the grounds five times and have had the sound bath experience twice.Both times it was different, but glad the hammocks were there to just be afterwards.Make reservations in advance for this an extremely popular attraction about 45 miles from Palm Springs.

I’m not an evangelist for sound healing, but the experience at the Integratron is out of this world. The sound of the bowls will blow your mind and the space is super cool and interesting. Everyone is very nice and it’s super relaxing. Come in sweats, and wear shoes that are easy to slip in and off. Bring a blanket and be sure to make reservations because it’s very popular and space is limited. Make sure to arrive 20-30 minutes before your scheduled reservation for check-in, restroom,and pictures.

What a really great experience. This had been on my bucket list for so long but it was either the pandemic or tickets had to be bought so far in advance. I never managed to make it in time on any trips. I had to Palm springs. Finally it happened!The staff is really fun and the guy doing this sound baths had been doing it for well over a decade. It was great. The mats that you're on are very comfortable and it's very easy to zone out. It's a true experience. Very happy I did it. The gift shop is really nice. Also. I really enjoyed the grounds and had I know and I probably would have brought a lunch to sit and eat at one of the tables or plan to spend more time hanging out in the hammocks or looking at the art and creative decor.
Regan B — Google review
What a delightful place. The sound bath was magical. The people that run the place have such positive, pleasant vibes as well. And there are even hammocks to enjoy while waiting for your bath. The origin story is fascinating. We will have to come back some day to introduce other family members to this unique adventure. And if you go later in the afternoon you can swing through Joshua Tree Park and see the Milky Way as it is a dark area. I think. It was docked in with rain clouds when we attempted this.

Went to The Integratron in mid-December.A memorable and unique experience. While the sound bath was unusual and interesting, I was more taken by the setting in the desert, the architecture of the structure itself, and the presence of simpatico people along for the experience.

It is like nothing I had ever experienced. If you are on the fence, go. We went off road a bit for about a half mile behind the building to the right, to see the “big rock” and that also did not disappoint.

This was a cool experience. I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I would be overwhelmed or would feel uncomfortable. It all passed and I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. For me, It’s simply a great place to reflect and deeply meditate. It’s like a movie or class where you have to experience it and then it ends. The staff make this place comfortable and make you feel at ease, specially if you don’t know what to expect. The staff is so well informed and their appearance and knowledge is very professional. The grounds are well kept. The whole trip was enlightening. We even took a short drive to visit the giant rock afterwards. I definitely recommend for anyone interested.

It was Saturday morning. As I was entering Sketcher store a lot of older Korean women. Its hard to try those shoes on when it gets too crowded. As the minutes pass by. I thought I was in Korea. 90 percent of people there was Koreans. Then I saw the 2 buses full of them. I did not find anything because it too crowded and they hang around in the middle of walk way and dont want to move if you say excuse me.They just play deaf and ignore you. I guess they own the outlet. Coach is my favorite and seem to have a good discount. I like sketcher. Nike and michael kors. But Id rather shop at Outlet at Tejon which close to my place.

Snow Summit is a top choice for winter sports enthusiasts in Big Bear Lake, Southern California. With 33 runs, night riding options, terrain parks, and even a climbing wall, it's a long-running and popular destination. The resort offers over 240 acres of skiable terrain catering to all skill levels from beginners to advanced riders.
If the season is good this is the best resort you can find within 3 hours driving from LA. But always check the traffic if you head to Big Bear village during snowstorm or in holidays otherwise you can stuck in traffic for hours.The resort is good and I’ve got no complaints ever. I’m a huge fan of Snow Summit’s night sessions. Slopes become almost empty and it’s so cool to ride through the forest when the sky is dark and snowing.

What's not to love about this place. Snowboarding only 2 hours away from Los Angeles. Night time was very icy but the day was good. I really enjoy the mix of runs available with ramps and boxes to try different things. You can also enjoy the beautiful lake as you head down the mountain.

I am an intermediate skier and went solo for the first time. It snowed the day prior so enough snow I didn't have to worry about scraping or anything. Runs were well manicured, with lifts all open, and not crazy busy. I did about 15 runs without incident. The people were friendly and overall pretty curious on the slopes, so a great day! Did I mention the view? Wow. Snow, lifts, lake, just beautiful. Nice warming restaurant - buffet pick up style, quick food, and a fire all inside should you choose. Outside has Adirondack wooden chairs around to "chill" in. Lol. Lift ticket pricing, well... You know everything can't be perfect.

Located on Morongo Band of Mission Indians land in Banning, this cultural center offers artifacts, a native plant garden, and rotating exhibits highlighting Indigenous communities.
I’ve driven past this place 1 million times it was so neat to be able to go up and see all the families taking pictures with dinosaurs. We paid to get in and going through the shop and being able to dig in the dirt if you wanted to climb up inside of the dinosaur look through the teeth. It’s kind of narrow climb and the stairs are a bit steep but as it gets later, the dinosaurs light up and they even change colors. We had a blast 10 out of 10 totally recommend, it’s worth every penny they even have a private area where you can have private parties the benches you can pan for gold for the kids and great for families plenty of parking and plenty of photo

This was such a cute photo spot right before you head into Palm Springs. You can see the dinosaurs from the freeway and it’s just cool to be able to see it up close. My friends and I didn’t get to enjoy the attraction as much because it was 115 degrees so we took our pictures and dipped but you could go up some stairs inside the dinosaurs and there was a little park next door to it that you could access for a small fee.

It's one of the best roadside attractions in Southern California. Admission is free, and there’s a medium-sized parking lot available. Located less than a quarter mile from the highway, it’s easy to access. You can enter the belly of the Apatosaurus to browse a souvenir shop, but keep in mind there are 21 stairs to climb, so make sure your family is up for it.

Best collection of crappy dinosaurs in the world. More dead-eyed biologically inaccurate theropods than you can shake a stick at. Worth $15? Absolutely not. But hey, a big Mac meal practically costs that much these days and it's definitely worth more than that, plus this causes less diabetes. I mean, just being able to say that I've seen the world through the mouth of a giant stucco T-Rex is worth something... amirite?

So cute! We only stopped to look at the Dino's, they had Santa outfits painted on them that looked really cool. Our first time going up to the store inside the Dino they had a lot of cute toys. To go into the other part you have to pay. From the outside , it looks like a fun place for little kids about 8 and under Don't hold me to it please was just making an estimate.

We stopped on our drive home from our family road trip in hopes to find a bathroom. We got out of the car and the area is so abandoned looking now. It was nice to see the dinosaurs all dressed up, painted, and a very cute touch as you entered. The gift shop in the pink dinosaur is clean and the customer service by the young man was great. We walked up to the entrance of the dinosaurs land space but you needed to pay to get in. Since we were looking for a bathroom we were not allowed to go in. Restrooms are not available to the public. We took a quick peak on the property and it looked clean, had a party area outside set up with colorful wood picnic style tables. The tables and area were well kept and what was visible to us looked like this would be a great time for younger kids. This place has definitely changed since I brought my kids here about 15 years ago. Families came out of the area happy and smiling. Thanks for the visit and fun decor on the outside of the property.

Definitely worth the stop. You can check out the big dinosaurs for FREE. Plenty of parking. Usually not very many people here and you can walk around see the Dino's up close. There is an air conditioned gift shop that is open for business inside the Pink "Tinny" Dinosaur. There is also an adventure park attached but you have to pay an admission fee.

Definitely one of the most unique and quirky roadside attractions 🦖 🦕 I would say it’s worth the stop!It only took us about 45 minutes to walk through the exhibits and go to the top of the T-Rex! 🦖 The Dino’s up close are much larger than you might expect!Lots of hands on experiences for kids! A great gift shop with a large variety of souvenirs!

Pretty neat little tourist trap! A little pricey for what it is but we had fun. It’s a bit smaller than expected. Dinosaurs are neat. And they have two gift shops. One is inside the giant pink dinosaur that you can go into without paying entrance. And they have another gift shop within the paid portion of the attraction.

Quaint and whimsical interactive dinosaur walk-through park. While it's definitely not trying to be a museum, it's a fun road trip stop. Most people don't seem to realize that you can enter the big green Tyrannosaurus Rex for an impressive view.
Charlie B — Google review
I have been coming to see the dinosaurs in Cabozon since I was a kid in the 70s when Hadley's was the main attraction. The stop is 100% worth it especially with family and they have definitely upped they are dinosaur game since the 70s. There is a gift shop that you can visit in the pink dinosaur as well as a bigger gift shop if you purchase a ticket to go to the T-Rex. The climb to the T-Rex where you can look out the head and its teeth is a must and results in a lot of laughter especially the kids. It's not the most sophisticated dinosaur museum, but it is a side of the highway stop that is fun and breaks up any drive. Stop and see the dinosaurs!

My dino-enthusiast toddler had a blast. Military tickets were only $11 and we had fun walking the trails, climbing in the T-rex and digging for rocks. If you are paying to access the park, there's a better gift shop that's not as crowded and has more selection than the one in the pink dinosaur.

Absolutely fantastic! Found this place through a Google search of what to do near Adelanto california. It steered us here, and we didn't know what to expect. Driving up, it was clear why this place is so interesting. Had a nice chat with Brian who is the current caretaker of the place. It's obvious that he cares about the story of Elmer.. we spent a long time walking around again and again. You see something new each time you walk around! We left our own wine bottle with Brian, hoping it ends up on a new tree. Definitely going back here-- it's an easy drive from Vegas and well worth the time!!

This is a very worthwhile stop on beautiful Route 66, even worth a road trip for this place alone.The art is amazing, and incorporates repurposed materials with an impressive collection of antique road signs, sewing machines, typewriters, and so much more. It's both serene and surreal exploring the forest of bottle trees, complimented by chimes and the many birds who also seem to enjoy this unique forest in the desert. There's even a picnic table in the middle, perfect for enjoying your lunch in this roadside wonder.Make sure to pay some scritches to the cuddly caretaker, and drop a donation in the wishing well to bless your next adventure

Such a cool place! I know Elmer has passed but I am so happy to see they are keeping his vision alive. When we were there, there were a lot of people walking around looking at his awesome designs! This is a must stop on Route 66 to see the place and his designs. You could spend some real time here looking at the different trees and what each one has. So Cool!!

What a fun museum. Such a beautiful layout of Route 66 memorabilia and archives. Delvin is a volunteer whom we had the pleasure of speaking with. He is so knowledgeable about the route and has fun facts to share with anyone who wants to listen. He is very friendly and his excitement to share his stories is contagious. He is great at pointing out some of the smaller details that might get lost in this plethora of goodies. The museum has several cute little photo ops and some larger ones too. This museum is put together well and they take care to display their items so it isn't a bunch of stuff just put in a corner. Would highly recommend the California Route 66 Museum for all ages.

Tukut Lounge at Yaamava' Resort & Casino

Lounge

American restaurant
Asian restaurant
Tukut Lounge at Yaamava' Resort & Casino is a vibrant dance club and lounge that offers nightly entertainment, including comedy, music, and salsa dancing. Guests can enjoy live performances by various bands and DJs while sipping on perfectly crafted drinks served by friendly waitstaff. The lounge provides a great atmosphere for socializing with friends or meeting new people. However, some visitors have expressed concerns about the limited seating and small bar area.
I mostly love the Tukut. I love all the servers, DJ's, entertainers, and everyone who works there. One reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the price for the tables is exuberant (imo). $75 for a table for two is not reasonable. Friday nights feel different now. It's not terrible, and they do have some really good cumbia bands, BUT the atmosphere is not as vibing. Some ppl go upstairs to the Chingon because its free cover charge, and it's free seating. Maybe they don't care? Same management? At the end of the day, it's a business to make money. That's understandable; I just don't think that upper mgmt thought about how some of the loyal regulars would interpret their price hikes...I probably will always still visit, but Tukut does not offer more than other casinos. For example, the Saboba and the Pechanga both have dance places that offer free cover charges and free seating so if I can, I'll drive there instead. As a matter of fact, the dance floors at other venues are bigger and roomier.That being said, overall the Tukut is still a good place, especially the ppl who work there. I find everyone to be polite and helpful. You'll also find forever dance friends that go often. Just be prepared if you tire easily, because you'll have to fish out money just to sit.As a side note, it's also hard to contact them and they don't always respond to email.I'm now giving Tukut 5 stars because they recently stopped charging for their bottom tables and to me, that says a lot. Thank you mgmt. I appreciate that very much! Much love to Tukut!!

Nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, Lake Gregory Regional Park covers 84 acres dominated by a man-made lake surrounded by pine trees and trails. The park offers various outdoor activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, and biking. Visitors can enjoy the swim beach and engage in water activities like kayaking, paddle boating, and float tubing. Additionally, there are dog parks throughout the area making it a pet-friendly destination.
Lake Gregory is one of my most absolutely favorite places. From taking a beautiful, serine and peaceful walk around the lake, to fishing, kayaking, boating, duck feeding, and the water park; there is always something to enjoy here. Lake Gregory has the cutest night markets with good eats and amazing vendors, amongst the monthly events that are hosted here. This weekend we enjoyed and participated in the annual lantern festival. It is always a romantic and memorable special experience with your loved ones. I highly recommend this event and Lake Gregory. Oh, there is also a dog park.

Dog friendly is a huge plus. Dogs must be on leash when not in the dog parks. You can walk the entire lake via trails and roads. There are many spots for fishing and chillin'. I've never been here at night, but it must be so beautiful. There's also a free trolley for the lake area. At least for the weekend.

This lake offers a serene escape into nature's beauty, surrounded by picturesque scenery that adds a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere. The fishing here was incredible!The lake itself is a reflective haven, mirroring the surrounding landscape in its placid waters. Lush greenery, perhaps accompanied by distant mountains or a clear blue sky, forms the backdrop to this aquatic gem. Whether you're casting a line from the shore or navigating the waters, the visual feast provided by the surrounding nature transforms the outing into a therapeutic escape.Despite the limited success on finding a quiet little spot due to the holiday influx, the allure of the lake and the surrounding scenery made it a day well spent. The beauty of the day, coupled with the peaceful ambiance of the lake, turned what might have been a fishing trip into a rejuvenating communion with nature—a reminder that the journey itself can be as rewarding as the destination.

March Field Air Museum, located near the March Air Reserve Base, is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts and families alike. The museum boasts an impressive collection of over 70 historic military aircraft, including rare operational jets. With more than 30,000 artifacts on display, visitors can delve into the rich history of aviation and explore exhibits dating back to World War I.
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 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.

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

Always so clean and peaceful. There's a question on the survey asking about purchasing tickets. It's a cemetery you don't need to purchase tickets to visit loved ones.

Thank you for allowing these wonderful people to ride through and honor our heroes.***Updated*** On my recent visit, I noticed this new statue that will be installed. Absolutely beautiful. It's a shame that funds are still being raised for the installation.

We came to visit and teach our children about Memorial Day. This cemetery is vast and beautiful. I have learned that the Riverside National Cementary is the largest of all in the United States. 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.

This area is wonderful because it's a great idea to go for letting their feelings out for the respect of fallen soldiers and retired armies (all branches) and their family members who served to fight for our freedom! We'll always be coming back to visit! It's definitely recommended!

Very well maintained cemetery for veterans and families. Unfortunately recently electronic signs are not updated. Make sure you check at the entrance booth for current information. Open sunrise to sunset.

NASCAR Racing Experience and Richard Petty Driving Experience

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

The team is really awesome and nice, and the drivers are great! And the experience itself is really awesome!! For anyone who wants speed, come to this experience! It’s a ton of fun!

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

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

Shopping mall

Victoria Gardens is a sprawling 147-acre open-air shopping complex in Rancho Cucamonga. It houses the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, which includes the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library and a performing arts center. The mall offers various amenities such as free Wi-Fi, ATMs, copy and fax services, stroller and wheelchair rentals, safety escorts, and more.
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 .

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’ve been visiting this outdoor mall recently and I found fantastic. So clean and organized. No matter how busy it is you always find parking. There is a little real mini train so kids can ride on it, that is so nice!

This mall feels more high-end than the one down at Ontario. The streets are decorated, and you can drive through this mall which makes this mall feel like a small town on its own. This has a very similar feel to The Americana back home.

Victoria Gardens is a great place, lots of stores for sure, so many that couldn't take pictures of all. From regular to fancy stores.... WOW !! The parking is huge and if you are lucky you get to find parking by the streets where stores are at. There is an AMC theatre in between all that, many nice restaurants of all kinds of food as well. Also a little train ride for kids. Be prepare to walk a lot...... it's worth it though.

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.

I love coming here to shop and eat. I live 30 min away, we don’t have anything like this in my town. There are so many shops and restaurants and the streets are always clean. You can park on the main streets where the shops are but they can get filled up quickly. There are a number of parking lots close to shops and restaurants.

I wish I knew about this fun place when I first moved out here. It is so fun, has so many brands and stores to shop at. It feels like a small town/village where u walk outdoors to all the different restaurants, shops and stores. It is very festive this time of year with beautiful lights and decorations
Marella H — Google review
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.

Love this outdoor mall, can be busy but always able to find parking. Love the shops and restaurant they have to offer, love the cobble stone sidewalks, fun just to walk around and people watch as well. Lots of benches through out the property. Lots to do even if you don’t wNt to shop, like train and water pad for kids, farmers market available too.

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

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

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

Raging Waters Los Angeles
Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Large, popular water park with dozens of slides & attractions, plus an area for tots & a sand beach.
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.

The cavan is a great deal. Plus you can order food and drinkd via QR code and it gets delivered to you. They do not take cash anywhere there. So have $ in the bank or they also have a kiosk where you can buy and load a pre-paid card

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+.

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 😎

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.

I see that there’s a lot of negative reviews on this place but that is not the case on my experience. We had a great time here with the kids. The food is descent but if you want to bring your own food you can. Staff were always friendly to us and helpful. When we went it was clean and the stores were organized. The bathrooms were clean and there was always someone in there cleaning the bathrooms. Overall it was a great experience and would return for summer!
Rosabell M — Google review
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.

I love raging waters but I believe it could be so much better if they put in some work into the park. My two biggest concerns are the food and the cleanliness. Everywhere is super dirty here, from the floors to the tables and chairs there’s old food, leaves, dust and spiderwebs everywhere. I don’t understand why they can’t keep it clean and hose it down. To continue the food options are very limited and the ones that were available were disgusting. My mom and I got two burgers and one bite in we knew we couldn’t eat it and got a refund. Even the fries were off. We got a pizza after but it was bland as well but at least it was edible. There used to be a Carl’s Jr years ago I don’t know why they got rid of it. Small improvements like these would make such a difference. Otherwise the rides and park are amazing I also love the employees and lifeguards they are always super nice and friendly.

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….

The Richard Nixon Library & Museum is a must-visit for history and politics enthusiasts. It offers well-curated exhibitions that vividly depict the life and presidency of Richard Nixon, including his controversial resignation during the Watergate scandal. The museum showcases artifacts, audiovisual materials, and documents related to Nixon's political career, from his visit to China to significant events like the Vietnam War ceasefire.
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.

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.

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 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. Would love to do this again at this venue since its convenient, simple parking and easy to get to.

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.
