    The San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum is such an incredible local gem and I'm really glad…read moreI made the time to visit. The hours are limited, so it does take a little planning, but it's absolutely worth it. The exhibits are packed with interesting local history and fascinating artifacts that give real context to the area. The building itself is beautiful and adds so much character to the experience. It's a great stop if you enjoy learning about the past and discovering places that feel quietly special.

    This place is absolutely amazing, atmosphere and vibe were great, but the owners were nothing but…read moreaccommodating, and nice! We were able to use this place as a set for a short film but I'm definitely coming back just to hang out, the selection of games are vast, there is definitely something for everyone!

    I don't recommend this place simply because it didn't feel as inviting and welcoming as any other…read moreplace in America. It's not open to the public (as in you are not allowed to go in unless you pay). The owners guard the entrance/near the front door inside and you can't really walk in and go around to check out the games first unless you pay. It was just about a few feet is what we were able to look at inside and only up to the parking lot is all we were able to see. As you walk in, you'll be standing at the front while they stare at you. The owner just stared and made a comment "It looks like you've never been here" No S lady. It was our first time, recommended by the McDonald's Museum across the street. She stated what their rates were. The owner did offer to have her husband escort us to walk around if we wanted to look at the place. Although we may have looked young, we're not little kids. We didn't feel like being chaperoned by an adult. We're 4 decades old. If the whole place runs by itself without the need of physical money, how would they even know who's playing the 30min package or the 1hr? If they use a prepaid players digital card, then a chaperone wouldn't be needed if we can't play the games anyway. We don't know anyone there or wouldn't need to cheat to play for free from others. Needless to say, we didn't see much. Just up to the door while they guarded it. Too bad, we would've enjoyed the place, but instead we were greeted with a cold welcome. Judging by this place, I see the owners like to respond to every comment/review. To the owner, if you're reading this, please don't bother replying. We won't be reading it. We already got the point. To those reading this in response to the owner, please believe me when I say this is an honest review, and real customer service experience. I'm a minority in this area AND NEW so, maybe they judge differently. Edit: lol the owner STILL replied although we already mentioned their comment was not needed. Hard-headed much..?

    Today's episode of visiting art galleries was absolutely amazing. If you're in Southern California…read moreand looking for something fun, cultural, and honestly just good for the soul this summer, I highly recommend checking out the Cheech Marin Cultural Center right in the heart of downtown Riverside. The whole space is vibrant, colorful, and full of life. Every room pulls you in the murals, of the Chicano art, the storytelling, the history and creativity. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel connected to something bigger. Whether you're doing a solo day visit on a date, or just exploring with family, this spot is worth the trip. The energy is warm, the exhibits are thoughtful, and the art is just flat‑out beautiful. Add it to your summer list you won't regret it. Enjoy

    We got in for free for being Bank of America members. We love the diverse collection and all that…read moreChicano art. The collections were nice but all in all, there is not a ton of things to see. Once you are done with the downstairs, there's not much on the upstairs except for an art center and a few other minor things from his collections. I wish they would expand it at some point, or if there was some sort of discount or benefit for someone else who doesn't bank with Bank of America. Something that keeps the admission price lower.

    I've been to the RAM many times and it's a small art museum in Downtown Riverside. The Cheech…read moreMuseum is one stop light up and a larger museum. If you purchase a ticket to the Cheech, the RAM is included in your ticket price, or if you start at the RAM, the Cheech will be included that day. I came to the RAM this time around, specifically, for the 60 Miles East exhibit. This exhibit ends on 4/12, so make sure to swing by before then if you want to catch it. The exhibit contained many flyers, pictures, art, and even ticket stubs that brought me back to my childhood. It was in a clean and open space that made the experience enjoyable. This exhibit takes up only one room and there are other spaces to check out for additional art exhibits. I did notice less art, this time around, than in previous visits and many open spaces/walls were not taken up. Overall, I'm glad I got to enjoy this exhibit, before it ends, and it really highlights the Inland Empire's music scene as an important piece of diverse culture. Enjoy!

What stood out just as much as the artwork was the building itself, which is beautiful and full of character. I especially loved the courtyard, which provided a peaceful space to slow down and take everything in. The gift shop was also excellent, with a great selection of unique items that felt carefully chosen rather than generic museum souvenirs. Between the art, architecture, and atmosphere, it was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon appreciating creativity in a truly beautiful setting.
