Such a great historical background! I came to take some pictures of my daughter in her In-N-Out costume and this was the perfect place. The staff was so sweet and gave so many great tips also. There's parking inside and a easy walk to the In-N-Out down the street.

I visited the replica of the first In-N-Out drive thru stand and it was pretty cool. Life was simpler back then and that included the drive thru stands. I could imagine how things were selling burgers for a few cents, Harry and his team making a little money but more importantly, making people around them happy in the process. I bet he enjoyed his job. Only 100 square feet in size, it's just enough room for fryers, cook top stove, refrigerator, and counter space. This place is worth a quick visit to see where it all started.

I was so happy to discover this cute spot! It's such a hidden gem. Like many others, In-N-Out has been a frequent stop for my friends, husband and I. When we found out we were nearby the replica, we had to make a stop. There was a worker there named Kenny who showed us the inside of the replica, showed us the map, and answered any questions we had. He was super nice! He even stayed a little after closing cause our group was talking when we finished touring. Thank you Kenny! The replica is cute! You can go inside it to see some original appliances and pieces and check out the space. It's really cool! Food was good too!

My husband recently posted about our visit here on social media and a friend commented that they "must make this pilgrimage." Yes! For many Californians and other western States that love In N Out burger, this is the spot and replica of the very 1st In N Out built in 1948. You can find this just off the local freeway in Baldwin Park, CA. Before we came, we first contacted their corporate customer service to confirm the replica's hours of operation that day as it is was little bit of a drive for us. For that Saturday, it is only open from 11 am to 2pm. The inside of the replica is a kitchen with the fryers, equipment, mock burgers and mock ingredients on the kitchen counter. Also on the inside are old photos, memorabilia, stickers for the kiddos, and a paper In N Out hat just like the employees wear. Our guide was the very knowledgeable, engaging, and kind Kenny. He's a perfect guide for the replica as he is passionate about their brand. He also does a later shift at the gift shop or store a block away. If you are a fan of In N Out burger, I recommend a visit to the replica, the In N Out University gift shop, and the actual restaurant just a block away. Do drive over there because it is a block away under the freeway. 5 stars!

An in n out store is located about a hundred feet away and on the same property is their company store. Grab a double double and then have it on this historic site.

I loved this place!! I've been meaning to come here for quite some time and I decided to do some tourist things while in the area and made a stop here. The parking lot had ample parking and they was only a few people there when I visited. Being able to step foot inside this replica was like taking a step back into time. The replica is very small and can fit maybe 4-5 people comfortably. They had the vintage potato slicer on display as well as the fryers, coffee pots, soda machines and such. There were also a few vintage photos to look at as well. I liked that they had an employee there to give you a breakdown of the history of the location and answer all questions that you may have. I really enjoyed it here and learning more about my favorite burger spot. I made sure to get lots of pictures and you are also provided with a brochure and sticker. The tour here is free which is a plus but make sure to check the time and days that they are open as it may vary. This is a cool place to check out if in the area and down the street is an actual In-N-Out burger as well as the company store so you can visit all three, it's worth it.

Touristing in Baldwin Park, Los Angeles, California... In-N-Out opened in 1948 - and - to this day, is one of the most beloved businesses in the USA. This company started out small and has expanded to other states such as Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. In-N-Out is known for: *fresh ingredients - nothing is frozen! *Reasonable prices *Clean environment *Convenient restrooms *Courteous service - employees attend the In-N-Out University This REPLICA of the Original In-N-Out features vintage menus and equipment. We weren't able to go on the tour because of the limited hours, but we will be back! ...and we will return for the gift shop at the Original location (down the street) which serves food, too! Note: Don't forget to ask for items on the Secret Menu... Google it!

Who doesn't like the Californian hamburger place? Even, my husband and I don't eat meat, just fish, we love to go for grilled cheese and Napoleon milkshake. It was so cool to see how was the first place. The company gives an employee to receipt you and he knows the history very well! It is nostalgic but fun to see with your children. How was tiny the restaurant, kitchen! Elvis was as there. It is free!

This place is cute. Replica of the original in-n-out showing you the original pieces. The museum fits a good 4 person comfortably. It's a nice quick visit if you're in the area. You can also smell the in-n-out from near by too... free hat and stickers!

My brother and I were actually able to go inside the replica In-N-Out stand and found it amazing at how much can be done in such small quarters! The replica had all the appliances necessary to make fries and burgers, with only room enough for 2-3 people. Since this was the 75th Anniversary of In-N-Out, I felt it quite thrilling to be able to tour such a monument in American culinary history. As the back story, we were returning from the 75th Anniversary Festival at the Pomona Drag Strip, which were filled with thousands of In-N-Out fans. The food was available throughout the festival, but the lines were too long and the prices were higher than the regional restaurants. Happy Diamond Anniversary In-N-Out!

I LOVE In-N-Out so coming here and learning more about it was so much fun. The worker that was there told us a lot more about the history of this restaurant and it was super informative. She also gave us stickers! Did you know in-n-out used to sell cigarettes in their drive-thru before?!?

Original in and out replica

On a Sunday afternoon in late November, my family came to checkout the replica off 10 fwy in Baldwin park. Plenty of parking and nice greeted by the staff person. It's amazing that 6 people are hold to work in the small kitchen. The staff person didn't say much unless I asked a question. It is a short walk to on and out to eat.

Replica of the first In-N-Out (first original location is on the other side of the freeway right behind the sign)

This place is awesome and totally worth the visit. It's a small super tiny 10 square feet museum that's open for tours Thursday through Sunday between 11 am to 2 pm only. It's free admission, free tour, and there's a live In-N-Out tour guide that will give you a half-hour overview of their history, how they started, and walk you through all the interior utilities, etc. After the tour, drive (or walk) under the freeway to the other side of the freeway to dine at the real current-day In-n-Out restaurant (location of the original very 1st store), and or visit the In-n-Out Company Store (in the same parking lot) to browse around. It's a nice quick hour or two of fun for anyone who's local, who's passing by on the 10 Freeway, or visitors from out of town. Great trip for little ones or just anyone who loves In-N-Out in general. I used to live down the street from here and never knew. My 7-year-old really enjoyed the visit (did it for a school project) and had a blast.

Woooooo!

9/11 Memorial - A closeup of the doves that make up the hands

Recently I learned the rusted metal beam is from the fallen World Trade Center and the two hands holding it up are made of nearly 3,000 silhouettes of doves, each representing a life lost on 9/11. The sculpture, named 'Reflect' was created by local artist Heath Satow, and it was completed and unveiled in 2011. Since then, memorials have been held there in the anniversary of the terrorists attacks. The memorial sculpture sits in front of Rosemead's City Hall in the middle of a public plaza and serves as a remembrance of the somber day, yet it's a beautiful and meaningful art piece for people to see.

It faces towards the street, showing two hands that are holding an iron bar. The weight of importance is truly visible as you walk around this small but incredible memorial with plaques on the ground with numerous names per family and community member, not to mention the Vietnam War memorial right besides it doing the same. One may not see it if you're driving by it on Valley Blvd but for those who take a closer look, they'll be greeted with a bunch of tiny doves that make up the hand which symbolizes the ever longing desire for peace.

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.

The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire - Beef chimney cake for $18 (cash only)

Only once a year in Irwindale California. It was amazing , drizzling but for short rain…read more We got the tickets on line and parking was $15. The fair was beautiful. The moment you come you are in different era . Medieval times. People dressed up for the occasion and costumes were pretty good. Lots of food, rides , activities, shows. Love the Jousting show. Be back

*** 2026 Season - April 4, 2026 - May 17, 2026 ***…read more The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire is an annual event that originally started in 1963 and has since moved to its current location at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, California. Our party saw ads for the faire on social media and decided to check it out. [Parking]: The faire highly recommends entering the recreation area via the 210 exit off Irwindale Ave (#38) rather than following GPS and exiting from the 605. There is a $15 entry fee to enter the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area (advance purchase not required). There is no street parking here so don't even bother trying. There is also an additional $30 fee for a VIP parking pass (so $15 entry fee + $30 VIP parking) and VIP parking is limited to 300 vehicles each Faire day & requires advance online purchase. If you plan to arrive after 11 AM, then I highly recommend getting a VIP parking pass to avoid the long traffic lines for general parking as the main Jousting Tournament starts at 12 PM. Our party arrived at 9:15 AM and there was already waiting lines to get into the general parking lot, but our party had no issue with general parking as the staff guided the line of cars and my car ended up parked pretty close to the faire entrance. [Ticket]: $53 for adults. Members of the military with valid IDs, seniors age 62+, and AAA members receive $5 off tickets purchased at the box office. Doors open at 10 AM. The faire also offers the Pub Crawl show that departs at 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 2:30 PM. Please note that the Pub Crawl sells out quickly and does not include admission to The Renaissance Pleasure Faire (an additional $90 per person). [Entering & amenities]: There is a basic security check before entering the fairgrounds. One factory-sealed water bottle is allowed per person. No pets are allowed at the faire except service animals. Strollers and wagons of all sizes are welcome. There are no lockers or bag check services at the faire. Almost all restrooms are porta-potties. [Costumes]: Approximately 75% of visitors were already wearing costumes, but it is not mandatory. There is a costume rental shop located just inside the front gates of the faire with adult-sized costumes ranging from $18 - $65 (average price around $39). [What to expect]: Few activities and foods our party wanted to try included watching a Jousting Tournament and eating a chimney cake. There were approximately 125 vendors and the faire was fairly easy to navigate since visitors mainly follow one route. Most entertainment shows start at 11 AM and there are three time slots for the jousting show: 12 PM, 2 PM, and 5 PM. There are also many fairground games like archery + axe throwing + human-powered rides, but unfortunately they cost extra money. Also feel free to interact with the townspeople to make this whole experience more immersive. [Food]: Top highlighted items include turkey legs, chimney cake, and steak on a stake. Our party had a beef chimney cake for $18 (cash only) and honestly it was pretty mediocre. [Tips]: Bring an umbrella or wear plenty of sunscreen as the weather can get pretty hot and there are not many shaded areas. Also bring cash as vendors selling alcohol and many other art & craft vendors only accept cash. Also don't wear shoes you don't want to get dirty because my sneakers were covered in dirt after the visit. Most importantly come early before the doors open to avoid the crowds after 12 PM. [Conclusion]: Personally this is a one-and-done medieval-era experience.
