The Redwood Creek Challenge is awesome for kids and kids of all ages - plus the shipping next to Grizzly Run is also awesome (just outside of the entrance to Disney's Grand California Hotel).

It originally opened in the park in 1955! The Main Street Cinema has the design based on a Victoria inspired facade, and an old fashioned big box office window! Inside the theater, features several small screens showing vintage films. Over the years, the lineup has shifted. The Cinema is known for it's screening of Steamboat Willie from 1928, the very first synchronized sound cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse! There are some benches that you can sit inside and watch the films. It's also air conditioned if you're looking to take a break during the summer! It's a nice place to enjoy some history and being immersed in the magic of Main Street at Disneyland! It's one of Disneyland's Hidden Gems!

The Richard Nixon Presidential Museum is a must visit. If you were alive during his career of…read morelearning about who he was, every American must visit. From his early years as a youth, his military years, to his career as a Senator, Vice President, then President of America, it is all here. When people talk of this man, Watergate is always in the forefront of the conversation. And what happened then was a dark time for America, but that is not the full story of President Nixon. He did so much good during his service to our country, and it is all highlighted here. Every person should visit this museum. President Nixon started the EPA, the Clean Air Act, OSHA, Title IX, he was instrumental in the woman's rights movement and brought the Vietnam war to an end. He was the first U.S. President to visit both China and the USSR in attempts to bridge relations with these countries. And these are only a few of his accomplishments which are still shaping our country and our lives today. He loved his wife Pat greatly, and their relationship is one of the best parts of this tour. But what's more, the museum is actually on the very land his family owned. The house he was born and grew up in is still here on the property and the docents will take you on a guided tour thru it. Both his wife and he are laid to rest here too. Quite a place.

There's a picnic area near the entrance, if you're so inclined. So much history on the grounds and in the house. George G Key collected and gathered a ton of farm equipment and household items that are on display. You can walk the grounds alone, some areas are not wheelchair accessible, but most is. The docent led tour takes you around a few of the first floor rooms that are stuffed with Mr. Keys' treasures. Definitely family friendly and I definitely recommend you stop by. Be sure to use your GPS or you'll drive past it the 1st time. Ask me how I know.... Also, check the events calendar as they seem to do things a few Saturdays a month that may cause it to be overrun with young people...

This review is for the architecture only and not for the living spaces. The colors have been restored recently and are much more period correct than the previous tan color, if you remove some of the modern details the occupants have added to the outside of their homes you can film a 20s/30s movie here and it would look exactly right.  Each unit has some hallmarks of Craftsman style; Long overhanging-eaves over the front porch with exposed beams and simplified decorative flourishes like the tapered column designs and wrought-iron door work. To the left/north are the Pomona Apartments which are done in a Spanish-Colonial revival style and worth checking out if you are there. Features a  tiled roof, smooth stucco exterior, arched entryways, and decorative  railings and air vents. I understand the reasoning but a little odd to share the colorway w/ these apartments and the Court. These are historically significant, the only kind like this in the city and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

Parking is in front near the entrance, weekdays it's $4 /hr but free on the weekends. Admission is just a $5 suggested donation to support the arboretum. I arrived within the first half hour after opening to try and beat the heat. Even though it was still warm, there were plenty of shaded areas to stay cool along with benches that were great for relaxing. There was also a breeze so that helped. Thought about spending an hour there but glad I paid for two hours of parking because I ended up staying for 1 & 1/2 hours. One of my favorite moments were simply sitting on a bench listening to all the birds. Hopefully you can hear them on the video. This is a peaceful place to unwind and definitely encourage you to visit.

I came on a really hot day, so I only saw about half of the place, but it was such a nice time by the ponds, creeks, and little lake. Beautiful wildlife to admire, too -- turtles, ducks, fish, and tons of dragonflies and other lovely creatures peacefully about. We spent a lot of time admiring a group of docile ducks and enjoying the shade by the water. They also have an online plant shop for those interested in gardening (with a great ongoing deal). Planning on purchasing from there and picking up so I have an excuse to stop by again. Loved my time here. Expect to enjoy yours too!

This city is nestled in between a busy 57 Freeway and there you have the quiet and cute little community of Placentia. I had an amazing time at the 28th Annual Tamale Festival. The event took place in downtown Santa Fe, where all the small authentic Mexican restaurants are convenient. Located for many choices. They have a great vibe and a huge heart for giving back to the community. Here I share the events. Picture and highlights of the tamale festival. Again, the employees and their City staff were all present and in support of their big event. Many come from out of the area for this special evening. I recommend keeping this event on your radar, it is free to attend!
