Southern California Railway Museum - Riding the old trolley that has been restored with loving care

Nice museum sadly some barn was close but it's was awesome to ride those old trolley…read more ------ But some railroad and demo aquipment need maintainace and need to be fixed

This was my first time at the Southern California Railway Museum. We went for the Thomas & Friends…read more"Day Out with Thomas" event. I have to share how impressed I was with the event from beginning to end. The JROTC or other military program was there volunteering their time to put on this event. When boarding the trains, they asked if I needed assistance with Tristan's wheelchair and getting him on the train. They also asked if we needed a quieter cab because Tristan has Autism. This made us feel extremely welcomed because my son and Godson both have Autism. It was not only inclusive but equitable. There was also plenty of handicap parking when entering. Have your placard up so they know where to direct you. The entrance fee includes a ride with Thomas and is $30.85 per person. If you'd like, you can also ride Percy for an extra $10. Of course we rode both. This event is not super large and it wasn't overly crowded. That could've been due to the rain. They do allow outside food and drinks in which helps with cost. The only suggestions I'd make is to offer more seating areas. Seating seemed to be limited even with the small crowd. Another suggestion would be to have a quiet tent for kiddos to wind down in. They had games, a hay maze, bouncers, dance tent, infant changing tent, access to the museums, opportunities to ride, photo opportunities, the museum guest shop, the Thomas guest shop, and food vendors. If your children love trains, definitely take them. Next week is the last week for Thomas and he won't be back until next year.

Showed my Korean tourist friend this place (my other friend had brought me five years ago and I…read moreremembered it was fun and so pretty this much later)! He really enjoyed it, said the views were pretty, it was so vividly green (his favorite color), and the orange was really good! Adam was our tour guide and ensured it was a fun, educational, and safe walk! We learned a lot about the history and methods for citrus planting. We were even allowed to pick one orange each at the end, and the fruit were refreshing, juicy, sweet, and somehow cold in the center even though the weather was hot! Adam even showed us the suncatcher collection and gave us one to take & DIY at home! Parking was $7 for two hours. Please be warned there are many bees. And bring water, wear sunscreen & a hat!

We collect stickers and magnets so we picked one up at the gift shop. Afterwards we drove to the picnic side and went on a small walk along the grass area. Before leaving, there's the Gless Ranch Citrus Stand where you can buy fresh juice and snacks. We bought a freshly squeezed OJ and took some pictures at the entrance before heading out on the road. We'll be back in autumn during peak harvest season

The review is for the city of Perris. We were there last Sunday for the first time. We'd gone to…read morenearby Menifee to check out the Motte Historical Museum. There is was suggested to visit the Orange Coast Railway Museum, which is in Perris. After our time at OCRM, we wanted to see what downtown Perris was about, figuring there would be some historic buildings and possible restaurant choices. Indeed, there were some of both, but there was some disjointedness about it all. As a first-time visitor, unfamiliar with the Pettis Valley, I learned that there are long-time families that settled in about a century ago. Many still have current generations, and surely advocate for the area. There are some newer, large developments with some flair. There are also remnants of former glory, like an old movie theater building which is still standing, but unrestored. We ultimately didn't stop and walk around, as nothing caught our attention. We ended up going to the Perris Airport instead to eat and watch the skydivers. My impression of Perris in general is that it's a city not necessarily flourishing at this time of high employment, which would mean a bad scenario during a future economic downturn. This is not a place to find softening touches like flower baskets hanging from lampposts. Am not sure what economic engines drive the area, but they haven't made an emphasis on community beautification on a wide scale with the available monies. That being said, my photos remind me that there are coordinated plantings of palms and other trees downtown. Being in a valley with temperatures pushing 100 degrees in early May and not a lot of water readily available, landscaping overall is minimal was my impression.

You can pay your water bill online for a fee, but your account online can't tell you what you owe…read more You can't call the automated system and find out what your bill is. You have to call and speak to a human. But the one human with the one phone never answers. If you're lucky enough to ever get an answer, you'll hear her tell you how many phone calls they get from people asking what they owe so they can pay their bill. And, of course, if you call every day but can't get through to anyone, you'll still owe the late fee for not paying your bill on time. What a joke.
