    For my Mom's 82nd birthday, she requested to come here, as she had read about finding prehistoric…read morebones here years ago and subsequent museum being built, but had never made it to visit. She was quite happy about finally seeing the museum! Located on a school campus, the museum sits back a ways from the parking lot across a courtyard from the school building. Parking and walkways are shared between visitors and students alike. The museum is bright and airy, having a nice flow from room to room, through timeline to timeline. The displays are beautifully constructed with thorough yet engaging text to explain each finding or display. The exhibit rooms are large enough to give that gasp that comes with being in the presence of creatures of such size, but cozy enough to linger and read without being overwhelmed. There are hands-on activities for youths and those young at heart, a children's play and explore area, and a theater/presentation area. We really enjoyed the presentation that brought the area to "life" through a realistic, animated depiction. We sat on molded rocks, which was fun. When students came, they sat on the floor. It was cool and quiet. The bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. There's a small gift shop with some eye catching toys, jewelry, snacks, etc.

    This was a great spot to get out of the heat. We decided to bring a small group of Girl Scouts and…read moretag-a-longs here and the Exploration Lab exhibit was great for the kids! We had a 2.5 year old all the way to a 13 year old and they were very entertained and engaged with the activities offered. I don't think this specific exhibit is offered year-round. If it's not, the rest of the museum would be slightly too "old" for the kiddos, looking at the fossils. Overall, very clean, well displayed information and fun.

    This is a great museum. Small but has some very important aircraft one of which some consider to…read morebe one of the greatest fighters in history. The F-4 Phantom II. They are currently restoring a Phantom II to flight. This is the only privately owned Phantom in the USA (Collings Foundation leases their from the US Govt). Its approx 95% done. Theirs is the 11th one produced and is also considered an F4H-1 Phantom II. In addition they have a OH-58 Kiowa that is flyable and a Desert Storm Veteran and a UH-1B Huey that saw time in Vietnam. They also do restorations and have to other static helicopters. Suggestion is to call ahead but they are normally open during the week. If your a Phantom Phan or love Hueys this is a must visit if your in the Temecula area.

I came with a 7 year old and a 3 year old and while it was great for the 7 year old, it was a little beyond the 3 year old, although she still enjoyed looking (and touching!). Wings and rotors is a non profit so that means no admittance fee, but there is a donation area to help with costs associated with running the museum. They also run stem workshops for kids 7 to 14. Definitely give wings and rotors a visit if you and/or your kids like planes and helicopters.

    I'm not one of those girly girls who get all gaga over wedding dresses. But I love museums, any…read morekind of museum. And I heard that there were dresses that dated back to the 1800s. Parking: Limited free parking on the street in front of the museum and along the downtown area. There's also a free lot to the side of the building. The venue: The "museum" is at the back of La Boutique Consignment & Bridal store. It's a gorgeous collection of antique and vintage wedding dresses. The dresses are stunning. You can look but can't touch. But aren't most museums like that. :) There are about 22 complete gowns. The detailing is incredible. I can not even imagine how much time it took to get into one of those dresses. What will the corsets and busing, etc. Just crazy. Eve, the owner, is lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about the time period and each of the dresses. The one thing that struck me the most was that there wasn't a single dress in white. The majority of the dresses were ivory colored. There was even a black, green, and tartan/plaid wedding dress. Eve said it was because the gowns were made of silk. It wasn't until the Queen had her wedding lace made from white that white became used to make wedding gowns. You could easily spend an hour or more admiring the gowns and learning from Eve. If you're in the area, it's worth the trip. Plus it's free. :)

    I was strolling downtown after recently moving here, when I came upon this gem of a place!…read moreBeautiful collection put together and managed by a very friendly enthusiast named Eve Faulkner. She is very passionate and can spend her whole day talking about Victorian wedding dresses and their history! She is great!!! She even has special events and history classes about them. The museum is free, but donations are appreciated. There is a vintage boutique within the place and all the proceeds from the sales of outfits go to maintaining the museum. I found a beautiful lace dress I knew I had to buy right then and there! Great place!!! Recommended for visits or for shopping!
