I took my granddaughter to story time today. She really enjoyed herself. She heard a great book,…read morethen we headed down to the lower level so she could play and color. We happened to be there on a perfect day when High Desert Falconry visited for an educational program. It was so amazing learning about these beautiful birds. We learned so much from the husband and wife team. Definitely check out their website for any upcoming events. During the summer, they also have a lunch program for the kids from 11:30 to 12:30. This is the last week they are having it. It starts when the kids are out of school and runs to the end of July. That is, if they receive the funding to offer it. Hopefully they do, because it's so great. 7/23/25

They use up an entire table of four and use it for their dirty items. Only one person sitting at this table by the way. They are eating the entire place smells like jack in the box. They are loud and obnoxious. The employees don't seem to care. A library is supposed to be quiet and peaceful and instead it's distracting for those who are in need of a study area with Wi-Fi.

The building and facilities are a little dated and could use some upgrading. They have a kitchen where they serve food for Bingo. Smelled good when we came in. Fun night of Bingo! Every Friday at 6 but doors open at 4 and it gets crowded. The metal chairs you sit on for three hours are extremely uncomfortable. I would suggest bring chair pads to sit on.

This is such a peaceful and welcoming National Monument located in Keene, CA, just east of…read moreBakersfield. This National Monument has a visitors center, museum, gift shop, a beautiful walking trail with flowering plants and trees as well as a path with various cacti. In the warmer months it's easy to spot lizards and rabbits, as well as having year-round birds and squirrels. You can learn about civil rights, agricultural labor history, and how Cesar formed a Union that is still in existence today. The Park is located in Kern County (the southernmost county of the California agricultural belt) just 30 minutes east of Bakersfield, in the mountains below Tehachapi. It was the first location of the Union headquarters he formed, the United Farm Workers (UFW). His office has been preserved within the museum exactly how it was the day he passed away. Cesar, and his wife Helen, lived and are buried within the Monument (his dog is buried with them too!) in a beautiful and serene garden. Their house is on the property and was left the way Helen had it the day she passed away. There isn't access inside their home, but they do allow special events in their courtyard area that you'd need to inquire about. Entrance and parking are both free to the public, but you can make donations if you'd like. I love visiting this Monument a few times a year, as it's so peaceful and calming. We usually bring lunch and sit at one of the many picnic tables provided.

Nice grounds, but kind of awkward to visit after recent events. Also, you couldn't really walk…read morearound the national monument with the private residence housing. The museum was nice though!

The thrift store was awesome, but with amazing employees. I hear the bowling alley is way better than the one in Tehachapi. I can't wait to try it out.

I proceeded to call the DEERS office, and they said, I could come in as a walk-in, but they cannot tell the gate guards what to do. Kinda shitty considering they see all the paperwork I am veteran, I've got all my documentation, have a BA disabled ID card, all that. But no, knowing that I traveled A FUCKING TRIP away, no. Why are yall so stupid?

If you're in the area, and espcially if you're a train enthusiast, visiting the Tehachapi Loop…read moretrain track is worth a stop. It's free to visit the historical landmark recording this engineering feat, where you'll also have a good view of the loop. It's not guaranteed that you'll see a train pass by (I didn't!) but it's still worth seeing. Free admission and free parking at the historical marker.

We completely lucked out in getting to the overlook moments before a long freight train passed by…read more The loop isn't just one big loop, it goes around and around and the train coils around the tracks like a snake. It truly was an engineering feat and it is still in regular use. We also noticed that the plaque recognized the efforts by Chinese laborers from Guangdong for building this loop. They were previously erased from history but I am glad their contributions are now acknowledged after so many years.

Cub Lake is breathtaking and the memorial is set over looking the water. They have a couple benches facing the plaques with the names of our heroes. There is also picnic tables set near by, would be nice for a picnic with friends and family. I am trying to get more information about the memorial as to when they built it and any other important facts I should know. I will update my review then. I hope everybody stops by and visits this beautiful veterans memorial at Cub Lake.

The Memorial is located in Bear Valley Springs, and it overlooks Cub Lake. Brittany C. (our friend and guide) wrote a wonderful review about this the beautiful place that says it all. I'd like to add that the memorial site was built as an Eagle Scout project by Boy Scout Kyle Olivier. So awesome!! I'm a fan!!
