    What a beautiful space for local artists and events are held. I have been coming by this place a…read morecouple of times now and last week attended a non profit event. The weather was perfect, lighting, vendors, and staff were all very nice. I definitely would love to have an event here. There was plenty of parking for guests. Overall, great ambiance and good vibes. Thank you Muckenthaler Cultural Center!

    *Tips for planners below*…read more We had a great time with Colette's Catering (with Muckenthaler Cultural Center as the partnered venue). Starting from the beginning planning process, Sara was super helpful, quick to respond, knowledgable about the planning process, and accomodating with all our requests. The tasting prior to selecting our menu was delicious. We went off the pre-selected entree choices for our menu, and the food was excellent, with great responses from all our guests. The venue itself was superb. Beautiful location, great green spaces, perfect for the classic Socal outdoor wedding. The flow makes perfect sense, from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception. And there's even an indoor option should weather be a bother. All the staff prior to and the day of were so helpful and friendly. We had no issues with anyone. The only issue we found was a lack of running water in the Bridal Suite sink. Thankfully the bathroom is right inside. Tip 1. I highly recommend perusing their entire menu to decide exactly what you would like to; no need to stick to their pre-selected choices! Of course you'll be paying the a la carte prices then. But the options are abounding. 2. We had a photobooth and gelato vendor that fit perfectly onto the patio area. 3. Dry wedding? No problem! The patio also has a rustic nook to fit a "mocktail" or even a "boba" bar!!! 4. There is adequate parking on-site, parking extends onto the lawn, and the venue provides staff to help guide people. DM for any questions! Would be happy to answer questions about my own personal experiences!

We've enjoyed…read morefree Sunday concerts there in the theater, walked throughout the grounds and the indoor museum, and marveled at the care with which his life story and impact were eloquently documented and coordinated. This is one of the few places where a presidential birthplace and burial site are both on the same grounds. Amidst a gorgeous reflecting pool, rose garden, and the palm trees typical of Southern California, Richard Nixon and his wife are buried about 50 feet from his birth home. The house lies in its original footprint when Francis Nixon built the modest house on a rural citrus ranch in 1912. It's perfectly preserved in the middle of a busy suburban setting today, included in the tour. Surprises within the sprawling complex include a replica of the living room at the Nixon's beach house in San Clemente, a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, a chunk of the Berlin Wall, and oil from Saudi Arabia's first oil well. There are countless other artifacts! Best of all, you might enter the museum thinking of Nixon as scandalous, a Republican who became America's only president to resign. But you'll leave with a deep understanding of, and appreciation for, the impact Nixon had on abolishing the military draft, developing relations with China, and signing legislation that would advance women's sports, protect countries against nuclear war, desegregate southern schools, protect the environment, and even initiate the end of the Cold War.

    This was my first experience at the current Yorba Linda library. I used to visit the previous…read morelocation frequently. This was the location of the polling booths for the primary election that I was assigned to. So I ventured to the new library. Parking was easy and plentiful with numerous spaces available that are covered by solar panels allowing guests to park in the shade. I was in a hurry so I didn't walk most of the library, I just walked into the room that was being used as a polling place, checked in, received my ballot, voted, and submitted the ballot into the machine, and exited the library all in about 10 minutes. I'll return in the future to explore the grounds and campus. What I saw was clean, nice, and tastefully appointed.

Many people praise the kids' area and family-friendly programming, and there's also a great used-book nook run by Friends of Yorba Linda Public Library Book Corner that's perfect for finding cheap finds and supporting local programs. There are also useful services like passport processing, study rooms, public computers, and events for all ages, which go beyond what some smaller libraries offer and make it a hub for different members of the community. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that, like many popular libraries, it can get crowded during peak hours, and I've heard a few rare comments from other visitors saying staff interactions upstairs haven't always been great though most experiences I've seen are positive overall. Overall, it's a comfortable, well-stocked library with good amenities and a welcoming community atmosphere definitely worth a visit if you want a quiet place to read, study, take the kids, or just hang out.

Children received free popcorn, snow cone, cotton candy, balloons and light stick. All of this was sponsored by North Hills Church. There were 2 live band stage show. There were plenty of food booth, vendor and bar. The exhibitions at the Brea Art Gallery was free. The display of arts were very nice and unique.

A favorite was a chocolate Nothing Bundt Cake. There were all kinds of food, many choices with something for everyone.

I had too many tickets, and I had to use them all that night, so I ate more than I usually do. There were 3 entertainment stages. We sat at a table by the Jimmy's Buffet tribute band. They did 3 sets. Music was fun. Didn't sound like Jimmy, but it was fun to watch. The band was from San Diego and they decorated the stage. We had a fun time.

The day we came was actually during the world cup and in the main lobby they actually set up a projector and chairs in AC to watch the game! I don't think I've ever been to such a lively museum! LOL And we didn't know this but on Father's Day you can go in for free if you're a dad! Dang we lost our chance but the pricing here isn't to bad actually! About $18/person and if you want to park in the parking lot it's $6. Not to bad! Plenty of parking and clean :) I like that the museum is big, clean, and well thought up when each room is themed! And they also host monthly family culture days! Where they gave free snacks and other local businesses in the community were there to promote their services! If you're still thinking about coming here, just come! You won't regret it :D

    Visit every museum you can at least once…read more Bowers is a nice visit. This is a smaller museum but they still cover a lot of ground. Art appreciation is the focus of your tour. Easy parking on the side. Eat in house halfway through your visit if you like. Or leave and return. I like how the art is arranged throughout the repurposed property. Plenty of descriptions for your reading pleasure on your walk-through. Small museum but taking your time you can easily spend a full day here.

When you first walk in, you are greeted by a dragon and colorful parasols hanging from the ceiling. There is a store towards the back that sells some treats and a place where you can get more info on how to travel to Taiwan and sightsee through the beautiful country. The items sold here are pretty authentic and pretty cute. If you are a Lego fan, they have some cool brick sets that are Pokemon and anime themed. I think maybe adding a food hall in here would make it that much better. If you are in area and waiting for a reservation, stop by here to kill some time. You will enjoy it and feel like you were transported elsewhere. Plus, you can take some really cool photos.

They also have Asian snacks and drinks, souvenir trinkets and magnets, building block toys, little fortune telling thing like they have in Taiwan for $5, artsy stuff.. They have a big space attached to it. It's closed off though. Unclear what that is.

Right now building one, there is an incredible art exhibit on the history of skateboarding in Anaheim. It's awesome. I took so many photos lol. I used to skateboard when I was a kid. Loved every second of this exhibit. The second building houses so very cool artifacts from the 1800s to the 1900s reflecting the history of Anaheim. It was cool to go back in time to see the history of a place I called home. I saw the history of Anaheim vineyards and Valencia oranges, I saw a lot of information on the ranchos in Anaheim. The Anaheim street names are all named after very important ranchers and farmers in Anaheim. For example I saw the name of a rancher Don Bernardo Yorba who created the greatest rancho of California's Golden Age. No wonder we have cities like Yorba Linda and streets with name Bernardo. Fascinating stuff. Also, there was a video recalling the bicentennial which was July 4, 1976. It was a big deal. There were other artifacts like photographs and a typewriter, luggage and military uniforms. So much history packed in that museum. If you love to visit museums, Muzeo is one that you must visit. They provide validated parking in lots 3 and 5. If you are an Anaheim resident, the cost is only $8. Regular admission is $10. There are discounts for seniors, students and children.

Just ask at ticket booth and they will give you a separate ticket to insert after initial ticket from parking structure. You'll spend less than an hour here. Nice museum for a one time thing.

It's a very unique place that reminds me of a mini-Madonna Inn. There's a large outdoor area with a huge gazebo like structure, a massive dance floor, another outdoor area that is like a small Main Street ala Disneyland, a Victorian styled room for people to relax, changing rooms, plenty of restrooms, plus my other amenities that I can't remember. The decorations are thematic and change every couple of months. They usually are Asian/African/European/Hispanic themes. They even provide appropriate themed entertainment in the outdoor gazebo. The African dancers are a blast! The one thing that everyone likes about this place is that they really look after it's clients. They have a seamstress on duty for dances to prevent someone's dream night from turning into a nightmare. For chapparones, there's a room all to themselves to chill out and talk crap about how the kids are dressed and they even get their own snacks. They even provide their own security! I highly reccommend this place if anyone is looking to hold a large party/dance/soiree/shindig. There's really no where else like it and it's a safe and fun environment.
