    Small museum attached to the McDonalds here. It gives quite a bit of history and made me want to go home and watch the documentary about it, but that was about it.

    Cute little museum, it tells you how they started and how it changed. It is small but free and right next to an original Mc D. It has old happy meal toys on display. Couple tv videos going. Took us about 15-20 minutes to read and see all of it. Then ended our visit by purchasing a happy meal.

Our little one enjoyed making and flying several different paper airplanes. Many hands on activities on the second floor geared toward the younger generation, I was equally eager to learn. Robotics on the first floor and many other displays, I especially enjoyed the astronaut suits! Planets represented outdoors, also has a native plants garden but it was too hot thus late afternoon.

This is a smaller museum, which actually worked out great with kids. You can go through everything in about an hour without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Good option if you don't want to commit to a full-day museum. Experience: A lot of hands-on exhibits, which kept the kids interested. Simple, interactive, and easy to understand -- especially for younger kids. Not super advanced, but still fun and educational. Value: Hard to beat since it was free today. Even at regular price, it's still reasonable for a short visit. Overall: Nice local spot, especially for families. Not huge or super high-tech, but it does the job for a quick outing. Would come back, especially if looking for something simple to do with the kids.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience here at Rubel Castle. Our host, guide,…read moreand local "Rubelligent" volunteer, Ms. Kathleen had all the intel about this historical property. She was so knowledgeable and helped set the stage for us to slip into a forgotten era and get a glimpse of how imagination met inventiveness with a DIY charm. ~ A LITTLE BACKSTORY FOR YOU ~ It's not pronounced Rubel as Barney from Flintstones. Rather, it's like Target is to Targét when we are trying to be fancy. So that's Rubel as in "Roo-bell." Unlike modern-day construction, Rubel Castle wasn't built overnight. It was made of collected recyclables and construction rubble that spanned many decades and took several friends and volunteers to build it. For Michael, however, the lifetime inspiration was first sparked at the age of 9. His love for canons was where it started and the rest is history you can hear about on the tour. But don't just show up like we did randomly one day. To book, visit RubelTours.org and make a reservation. ~ OUR TOUR EXPERIENCE ~ It's as if Michael Rubel, the creator and mastermind of this enchanted dominion had intended it to be--magical. Built in the castle period of wood and tin, every corner captured our interests, from antique cars to the 1890's Seth Thomas Tower Clock with a unique backstory (and only six in existence today). There were old vending machines, tools, trinkets, and machinery that time had long forgotten. Did I mention there was a drawbridge? Yes, and a dungeon too. I was just waiting for a dragon to come swoop down on us next. Walk in the footsteps of famous visitors like Alfred Hitchcock, Dwight Eisenhower, Jack Benny, and Bob Hope. It's a feast for the eyes no matter where you glance. I particularly enjoyed the bottle house that Michael built in 1968 as his "home" as a kid. That independent spirit was quite charming to see. ~ WATERCOLOR NATURESCAPE ~ We were fortunate to have our gracious host lead us on a tour and organize a special art crafting experience outdoors. It was absolutely lovely beneath the trees and between rusted vintage cars from the turn of the century. We each got a small canvas to paint our flowers in watercolor. (This particular experience takes place in the Spring and Fall, weather permitting.) We heard the squirrels rattling in the leaves and birds chirped and sang in the trees above. We discovered that peacocks apparently originated from this property, compliments of Michael Rubel. And did I mention that on the far side of the property, a custom garden was in full bloom? BOOK A TOUR Help support the Glendora Historical Society and keep this magnificently unique city-castle maintained. It's worth it.

    A castle in Glendora? Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you--Rubel Castle is real, it's magnificent,…read moreand it's gloriously eccentric. Thanks to the sheer persistence (and probably delightful stubbornness) of Michael Rubel, we now have this quirky, towering State Treasure sitting right in the middle of Glendora like a fairy tale that accidentally took a detour through a hardware store. This place is beautifully done, and part of its charm is that it's a full-on hodgepodge of relics, antiques, crystal trinkets, and "wait... what is that doing here?" moments tucked into every nook and cranny. You'll marvel, you'll laugh, you'll squint in confusion--honestly, it's everything you'd want in a castle built with love, imagination, and a dash of madness. And let's talk about the makeshift cemetery. Quirky? YES. Fun? Absolutely. Slightly spooky? Only if your imagination is over-caffeinated. But it fits the vibe perfectly--like the castle whispered, "You know what I'm missing? A tiny cemetery." The tours are fantastic, the guides are passionate, and the whole experience feels like you're stepping into a living scrapbook of California history and charming chaos. Overall: Amazing, amazing place. Book your tour. They only do tours every first Sunday of the month, so set your alarms, mark your calendars, tie a string around your finger--just don't miss it. Rubel Castle is truly a California State Treasure, and an absolute must-see for anyone who appreciates creativity, history, and a little eccentric sparkle.

I wasn't able to make my way until January and glad the Lakewood locations runs until March. Tickets were very easy to grab on their website. Once purchased, I was emailed a QR code per ticket. There was no specific time indicated so we could come at any time and leave at any time. For parking, there was plenty at around 8:00 pm on a Saturday. There was both an indoor and outside area for exploration. Later at night, we also watched the show as well. My girlfriend and I spent about an hour here. Overall, it was a decent light exhibition. My personal favorite was the circus show (and the cute penguins!)

Think glowing sunflower rooms, swirling balloon installations (like walking through a shower of balloons), lantern decorating stations, misty walkways, and tons of interactive photo ops. It gives indoor theme-park energy, so lots of walking, lots of movement, very hands-on. A few realistic notes for parents: Bring hand sanitizer. This is a highly interactive space and kids will want to touch everything. There's also mist in some areas, so if you have allergies, just be mindful. The only downsides: There was a noticeable mildew smell near the restroom area, and in one darker outdoor section I stepped into a puddle from something dripping overhead. That could've been a slipping hazard, especially for kids. I alerted staff immediately. Creativity and imagination factor? 9/10. Maintenance concerns brought it down a bit. Even with the hiccups, my kids couldn't stop talking about it afterward. It's a fun, visually stimulating experience and worth checking out at least once.

There were a lot of different areas but it was hard for my daughter to actually do anything because the areas were packed and a lot of the items were missing from the areas due to kids moving them around. That's understandable -kids will be kids- but because there were so many kids the staff couldn't keep up with putting the items back in the designated areas. For example, we went to the "mail room" there was literally no mail in it. We went to the tool/building area and there were literally no tools and not enough building materials to build anything. This was pretty much every area we went to. The amount of kids also made it super overstimulating for my daughter. Normally when we go to these kinds of places it's calm and she is actually able to learn, play, interact etc. Lastly, it's expensive. Normally when we go to these kinds of places an adult is included when paying for a child to enter. Here, you have to pay for an adult and child ticket - so it was 44$ for the both of us. Totally not worth the price when it is so overrun.

Generally speaking, most people and nurses would understand and have a sense of compassion, it is unfortunate that the few that are not would have to ability to take what little comfort I found while trying to support my husband after having a stroke. I would visit Monday through Sunday attempting to find any sense of normalcy. One particular nurse named Toshi came in an asked, "Do you need anything?" I was assuming he was speaking to my husband the patient (Jonathan) So I did not pay too much attention, he then said that I needed to have the mask on. I completely understood and I told ok I will, I noticed him staring at me so I told him I was going to finish a math problem I was working on really quick, and I will put it on. Within seconds he called the charge nurse, I told the charge nurse the same thing that I was going to put it on I just wanted to finish a math problem before I was timed out. I was confused because I agreed to put it on and I though that if I advised them why I didn't want to stop right away they would understand. I spoke with the doctor because she was advised of the problem, I did not feel a sense of understanding. I understand there are polices and I am also aware of the rise in covid cases, but the truth of the matter is that I kiss my husband and we are well over 6 feet from anyone. I was more than willing to put on a mask, but I guess I did not do it fast enough. As if that was not enough the nurse Toshi returned twice after that, after returning the first time my husband requested a charge nurse to speak to, Toshi failed to get the charge nurse but came back again to provide me with the hospital rules. All I am saying is that I feel these nurses should have some compassion, I agreed to put on the mask, but I felt like a child being scolded. Even after speaking with the doctor, she stated she would switch the nurse but didn't, our concerns fell on deaf ears. It's been hard, if Toshi would have just given me 5 minutes.
