We probably should have went when they first opened to beat the heat instead of walking around outside mid-afternoon. The volunteers at the entrance were really nice and helpful, our favorite was Max who took his time to explain the ins and outs of an F1 after helping our youngest climb into the cockpit. We purchased a few things at the gift shop, do we offer a military discount? Not sure because we weren't asked. There are many interesting things to browse around through here including a whole space section plus an underground bunker simulation, lots of hands on things that kept our kids occupied for a couple hours. My youngest was excited to find an f-15 outside, but bummed there were no f-18s that his daddy used to work on. All in all, it was an enlightening first experience, I love how all these volunteers are here doing something they love, although most seemed to just be there for social hour amongst themselves rather than speaking to the patrons. It was a fun family affair to kill time and learn new things!

What a blast. I…read morejust happened to notice this place while on my way down to SD from Bakersfield. My wife and I made a point to stop by on the way home. So glad we did. This place is huge. We easily spent 3 hours here just looking around. There is free parking, a gift shop, old planes, new planes and so much. Plenty of room to walk around. Especially for my little one.

Great way to inspire your kids about attending a university by allowing them to explore a wonderful campus filled with trees. Awe also enjoyed the Art building very cool how everything ties in together. Staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.

Then a couple months ago, 50 or so peeps from the club show up, about half bringing their own classic cars to show off. 10 am comes and we all gather by the entrance. Collection curator Ed tells us all about the owners, the collection and some of the cars we will see. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/day-family-classic-cars-corona?select=GzbSWwXuYRudvch2wkZC1g#KOF0rgBm4mxnXQXejZKDHA PLEASE NOTE: This is a privately owned collection and is not open to the general public who just "show up". They are open only to groups by appointment (with a donation?). With our group, the "donation" collected by our club was $15 a head, HOWEVER 100% of that went to the Children's Hospital of OC and other children's charities in Southern California. Great causes indeed. Once inside you will see some rare and high quality cars on display. But not like in someone's garage or an empty warehouse, no. They are displayed like a true museum, some with dioramas to showcase the vehicle.

His name is Eddy and he's a Columbian mammoth. Crazy cool that it's a life sized replica too. At the entrance, you pay for parking and it's $10. PRO-TIP: If you spend $40 at the gift shop, the $10 counts towards it and altogether it's actually only $30, which is great if you're buying a lot of goods there to support OR if you're a fossil and/or gem/mineral enthusiast since they have a LOT of that there, which is pretty neat. There's 2 places you can park. One near the garden nursery where you can purchase plants or near the main parking where the gift shop is. The Critter Corner is in the gift shop where you can see lots of herps and aquatic critters as well. The volunteers are super informative and can answer all your questions about the critters they have there. Love that they have name tags and info about where they're from and information about the species. Love the monkey skink, emerald tree skinks, Argentinian tegu, and of course, the beardies. Gift shop also has a great variety of affordable gifts ranging from toys, to small knick-knacks, decor, gem stones and minerals of all varieties and displays (loose, as earrings or necklaces, carved, etc.), locally sourced honey, actual fossils (there's a section where you're not allowed if you're under 16 without a parent or guardian), books, stickers, and much much more. While we were there, there was also a fun little S.T.E.A.M. corner where you can work on artwork you can take home or on some days I think there's science activities there too. The mural on the walls are also quite impressive too. Great for photos and a nice personal touch. I recommend getting the $1 grab bag! Kids love gacha/blind boxes nowadays and mine had 2 small fossils, a sticker, and 2 mineral stones. Pretty nice and super affordable. There's a trail that goes through a cactus garden with lots of dinosaur sculptures, done by the local boy scouts which is pretty neat. It's $9 if you would like to go rock collecting. You get to meet all the dinos during this expedition as well. It's 12 rocks, minerals, or fossils which isn't bad. They also have guided tours that start at the gift shop, but my boyfriend and I were just there to free roam, which can kill a couple hours too depending on how in depth you are in reading and looking at everything. They also have a separate Museum of Discovery with lots of fossil specimens and models ranging from dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures (aquatic, mammals, reptiles, etc.), indigenous/Native American artifacts and artwork (local artwork too), minerals and other geological structures. There's taxidermy on the wall too. Lots to look at. Will definitely come back in the future. Super affordable way to learn and spend some time.

Again, we highly recommend Alexis as your tour guide because she was so sweet and kind and taught the children so much. Thank you for making our trip so special.

There are fruit orchards to the right and left of the home (including the heating "lamps" that were used back then), plenty of olive trees, historic equipment on the ranch and an area for the various animals.
