    BNSF SD70ACe #8583 Leads A Port Stack Westbound

    One of my favorite places to train spot with tons of BNSF, Amtrak and Metrolink action along the southern transcon. There are often many other trainspotters/railfans at this station usually on weekends, so chances are you will meet many other people who like trains as well. There is a cafe with a great variety of food and nice people and plenty of seating. Great place for railfans and commuters alike.

    Train Museum is open! Located in the Fullerton Transportation Center on east side of depot. Cafe prices are "orange juice" for $0.30 and a "sandwich" for $0.70 what a deal. Desert will set you back $0.15. Harold Benash, president of the Southern California Railway Plaza Association, has a love of trains which I term "train on the brain!" Had a private tour of 5 railway cars. Entrance is "FREE" and hosted Southern California Railway Plaza Association (SCRPA). Donations welcome (no pressure). Open first and third Saturdays from 09:00 to 13:00.

    Fullerton was also served by Union Pacific and that station was relocated just across the parking lot to the left of the platform, now housing the Old Spaghetti Factory.

    Late review but I came here for the last day of their OC Punk Rock exhibition which included a…read moreconcert by Channel 3, Manic Hispanic and Agent Orange. So my experience will be a bit out of the ordinary since it was very very crowded there lol. Located on the corner of Pomona and Wilshire, the Fullerton Museum Center is almost like a neighborhood museum because it's surrounded by houses. There's a parking structure nearby which was free to park at, or at least it was on this day. As I said earlier it was extremely crowded and there were two lines. One to get into the concert area and one to get into the museum and it was a pain to find which was which. One we were inside, the punk rock exhibit was nicely done. Lots of cool pieces from OC punk rock royalty were on display. TSOL, DI, CH3, Agent Orange, Adolescents and Social Distortion were all front and center. I was particularly happy to see the original artwork for TSOL's "Dance With Me" album cover in the flesh. They also had lots of cool stuff in the gift shop and of course the concert itself was great! If Fullerton Museum Center brought this back or did another cool exhibit I'd certainly return. The drive isn't my favorite and the location is a bit odd but staff were friendly and helpful even though they weren't prepared for THAT many people. Museums are important and I'd like them to stick around. Recommended!

    So I've visited before and enjoyed it but this review is for their Haunted Fullerton Walking Tour…read more This was my second time taking it and have to say it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I could do without the jokes but hey, they gotta keep it fun I imagine. ;) It's a great mix of lore and history and I love the ending at the cute store/house. Highly recommend especially if you have any ties to Fullerton like me!

    Stopped by Fullerton Arboretum during spring break while casually exploring the area, and it turned…read moreout to be much more relaxing than I expected. It's part of California State University, Fullerton, one of the campuses in the CSU system, known for its strong business and communications programs. The arboretum has been used for education and plant conservation since 1979, and it spans about 26 acres. Even though it's divided into different plant zones, it doesn't feel overly designed. It feels more like everything is growing naturally and you're just walking through it. I wandered through the desert area and woodland sections, passing by all kinds of plants like cacti, fruit trees, flowers, bamboo, and large trees. Some were honestly my first time seeing them, and each area had a slightly different vibe. I kept stopping to take a closer look or look things up. The Heritage House was closed during my visit, but the Rose Garden smelled amazing. There's also a shaded bench area under vine-covered trees in the back, which is a nice spot to sit and take a break. I also noticed a small and cute Native Bee Hotel, which is a thoughtful touch since bees play such an important role in pollination here. What I liked most about this place is the overall atmosphere. Students were casually sitting under trees, reading, or listening to music. I also saw a group doing yoga on the lawn. It just feels like a space where people and nature naturally blend together. Definitely a place I'd come back to for a slow walk.

I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and it was the perfect place to catch up during a walk around of the garden. I loved the pond with the lily pads and turtles, and the Heritage House surrounded by orange trees and roses. I was impressed by the amount of orange trees. It reminds you of why they call it Orange County. If I went to school here I'd be here probably once a week. Otherwise it's great to come if you live in the OC.

    I wasn't sure if this was still happening!…read more I had to find out if it was. This art walk at downtown Fullerton is indeed still an active event. The downtown Fullerton art walk happens on the first Friday of every month. This happens all year round. It seems like the event was more popular maybe pre-covid? Not too sure. You can walk around downtown, and you will see signs put out for the businesses that are participating. It seems like the hours vary depending on the business. So, some were closed when we went. It may be a good idea to go during the day, so you can hit all of the places before they close. We got to see some art. It was cool. It's always fun exploring downtown Fullerton! Not bad for a free event. It's not something you have to run to go do. It was alright for what it is. A free event to do on a Friday, once a month lol

    This review is more for the Third Year Anniversary Event. My first Artwalk was during their third…read moreyear anniversary which was held in the plaza of the Fullerton Museum Center. It was cool how everything was gathered in one place and there was a lot of festivities: photobooth, live music, food trucks, beer and wine garden, arts and crafts booth for kids, etc. The museum gift shop was also open to browse. Great atmosphere and nice to walk around, though I didn't really get involved too much with the booths. I was there mostly to browse and soak in the atmosphere. And to get grub from the food trucks, haha. The gathering was a lot smaller than I thought and I was expecting to see a lot more, but it's ok. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Parking was a breeze since they were set up right next to a couple of free public parking garages. All in all, the event provided some great atmosphere, but I'm not sure if a normal Artwalk would be for me. I suppose if I had nothing better to do on a Friday night and wanted to soak in some local art, I'd go again.

It's located in Anaheim, CA. This museum has good art galleries and revolving exhibits. Similarly, it has become part of the Carnegie Library which gives visitors full access. The museums current exhibits were a collection of the 60th Annual Juried show by Anaheim Art Association. Some of the art displayed on the galleries can be purchased while some are NFS. Admission ticket is $10 bucks. A female staff was friendly. Gift store is tiny with few art souvenirs, tote bags, decal stickers, mugs, books, and merch. We visited during the weekday whereby scant visitors are in the museum. Street Parking is nonexistent, however, plenty of timed parking structures adjacent and across from the museum. Overall, it's a decent museum with good art exhibits. You can finish it in under an hour. I still recommend you visit if you're in the area.

It's…read morenot a huge place but that's kinda what makes it nice, you're not overwhelmed and the kids can actually enjoy everything. They give you this little self-tour paper when you go in so you can make sure you hit all the exhibits, which I thought was pretty cool. The kids were running around having a blast the whole time, lots of hands-on stuff and actually educational too without it feeling like school. Before we left we stopped by the gift shop and they had a good variety of things for the kids, not just random stuff but things they actually wanted. It's a great little spot in the La Habra community, and I like that they offer discounts for La Habra residents and others too. 100% worth checking out if you got kids, we'll definitely be back

The dinosaur by the entrance was one of our favorites--my nephew loved it so much and was excited the whole time. One of the best parts was the stage and dress-up theater section. It was so engaging for the kids! They got to play, pretend, and really use their imagination. It was fun watching them interact, perform, and just be themselves. I also liked how social it was for children. Kids were playing together, sharing, and exploring as a group, which made the experience even better. It's not just fun, but also a great place for kids to build confidence and connect with others. Overall, such a fun and memorable day. Definitely a great spot for families with kids! Side not get camera ready! I took so many photos I only posted what I could for privacy reasons but such memorable experience!
