The…read morehistoric nature of the house added an extra nostalgic route 66 charm to our wedding that made it feel feel like home. The intimate size of the property worked perfectly for our smaller wedding and being able to add certain rental spaces helped us tailor the property to fit our needs. Shelly and all of the staff at the Garner House were all so incredibly kind and helpful through the process. They have great teamwork which really reflects in how smooth of a process this ended up being. In the chaos of wedding planning, this was one of the easier parts. We absolutely recommend picking the Garner House as a place to celebrate your forever!

It's important to note they're only open Thursday through Sunday, other days they are not available. There was also a visitor in there while we were stopping by who was inquiring about doing a photo shoot with his classic car, so they accommodate that as well. They also mentioned that they have some of the best and most recently remodeled restrooms in Rancho Cucamonga. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and really broke down the history of the place and showed us around the little building. They will be making further additions, but right now it's a small one-room museum that also has merch available for purchase. There is a small free parking lot in back, but there's also a large shopping center right next-door that has a ton of free parking as well. I would highly recommend to any fan of history, especially Route 66, or anyone interested in California or Americana history. It can be a quick stop, or you can really stop and soak it in, the choice is yours. Especially given it is free, I feel it as a really fair deal. Would highly recommend.

There are some beautiful areas and we saw someone doing an actual professional photoshoot. The grounds are definitely perfect for that. Plenty of parking available.

All of it is centered around the John Rains house. Judy takes you on a great tour and with photographs, architecture, furniture and incredible heirloom quilts and clothing, she walks you through the important history of the area. Even though you are near busy streets and shopping centers, it is easy to imagine what it was like to be on the property 150 years ago. There are fantastic improvements on the way. A new vineyard, gazebo, updated restroom facilities, landscaping and eventually wine winetasting, will make this a perfect place for a wedding or family gathering. If you like history, the John Rains house is definitely worth your time. A great place to learn about your home town. Younger kids will like the grounds, older kids will be interested in the history.

I don't know any other venue coordinator that does that. I love how flexible she was in set up times and just so willing to work with me and my vision. She was so great in communicating throughout as well. I had tons of questions and she was so helpful at getting them answered for me. And for the price...you can't go wrong. We will definitely be using them for future events!

Odd place, but worth it for people looking to explore new photo spots. It's just a very small section outside. Egyptian hieroglyphics and feeling like you are someplace abroad for a moment. This is just one odd building in a rare spot. Maybe the developer didn't get funding during and after pandemic to build something else here or expand from the idea. It's unique. There were contractors working inside/maintenance work. Nothing to see other than exterior of building. Good photo spot. The U.S. needs to build more unique spots like this or more local museums would be pretty cool. Free public viewing. Good work of art to appreciate.

This is the 2nd time my sister and I have been here. The 1st time it was on purpose because I saw…read moreit while driving on the freeway and was curious about it. I Googled it and it turns out to be an uncompleted Egyptian themed restaurant. They finished the outside which is an exact replica of an actual temple in Egypt, but because of COVID the construction of the interior was delayed. However, as of 2026 it still isn't open. Anyway, today we went to a nearby restaurant and figured that since this was so close, we might as well visit it again. It really is impressive from the details to its huge scale, which is most apparent when someone is standing next to the sculptures. This time around we met 3 elderly Filipina women who were excited to be there. I offered to take their picture and they took ours. Then it turned into a conversation about where we were from and where they were from. It was a true tourist interaction even though we never got on a plane. We went during a heat wave, so it truly felt like we were in Egypt, so all of us quickly took pictures, then went back inside our air conditioned cars. I hope that they're able to complete the restaurant because I'm curious to see what the inside will look like, but for now even just the outside is fun to look at and take pictures of.

We mentioned that we have a 1992 Triple Cream Sherry and wondered how they were drinking now, should we open now or can it still sit, etc. Since they had one open in the back, they poured us a little bit and it was still fantastic! They're only open a very limited number of days a year, but if you like Sherry this is the place for you. Check out their website (www.ranchodephilo.com) for more info.

Ruby red with black cherry and plum aroma, complex taste, and smooth finish. As you make your way through the winery, it's easy to get lost in the beauty of the antiques on display. From vintage furniture to old-fashioned tools and equipment, every inch of the winery showcases a piece of history. It's like taking a step back in time to a bygone era. One of the most impressive features of the winery was the attention to detail in how the antiques were presented. It's evident that the owners of the winery take great pride in their collection, and they have gone to great lengths to ensure that they are beautifully showcased. The lighting, the arrangement, and the spacing of the antiques all contribute to creating a unique and memorable experience.

The kids got to dig in the dirt to look for bugs, make molds of animal prints, and do a nature walk. My only concern and it's strictly personal and nothing against the museum is how long the sessions are where the kids have to listen to the lesson before they begin the activity. It can be difficult for a child with adhd or autism to tend. But again, that's nothing against the museum. However, my concern with them is the little nature walk paths are not small enough for the wheel chairs and there's a part of the nature walk that can be difficult for someone to push a child with a wheelchair stroller. Maybe something to keep in mind if you get a grant for additional funding. Outside of that, inside the building does have a wheelchair ramp. This field trip was nostalgic for me and overall we had an amazing experience with amazing staff! Everyone was absolutely amazing and friendly.
