Widmer World is amazing! There is a sign to help direct you where to park (neighborhood street…read moreparking) nearby. This was our second year visiting and the family hosting this is always so friendly. This year, one of the older ladies even offer to help us take photos outside on the driveway. All of the Christmas decorations, displays, and lights are beautiful. It extends from the front yard through the backyard with many Christmas displays and different cartoon / Disney characters / themes throughout the yard. This is defintely a good stop every year.

I visited this free holiday attraction on Friday, and even with the freezing winter temperatures, I…read moreenjoyed my time here. I arrived around opening time (6:00pm), and there was just a short line for entry. With so much to see and admire about this place, the walk thru was much longer than I expected, though that's partly cuz I didn't know you could pass people till I reached the mid-point. It's only one-way through the various pathways and illuminated tunnels that make up this experience, but if people stop and block foot traffic for long periods of time (for instance, families telling their toddler to look at every single doll and figurine in the windows and displays, or having them pose to take pictures like tourists), there's enough space to just pass them. Widmer World presents a range of themes and collections, including Disney (mickey mouse, toy story, disney princesses, etc), Minions, Snoopy, Santa, Abominable Snowman, geese, penguins, and stuffed animals galore. Cardboard cutouts with artwork, inflatables in various characters, moving props and decor, and animated xmas figures. Detailed miniature displays of various scenes including a charming village, a carnival with ferris wheels, roller coasters, and hot air balloons, and a festive model railroad with multiple trains moving along the tracks. It's so much more than a light show lined with impressive displays all around. It's a whimsical wonderland with lots of moving parts and interactive exhibits to delight guests of all ages. There's a scavenger hunt to find 12 gnomes, as well as a Mr. Potato Head coin toss game, and at the end of the walk thru, there's a guest book you can sign. In the front of the house, a giant chair is available for photo ops, along with more holiday lights and decorations. There are also signs directing visitors on where to find street parking (since you can't park in the court where this event is located).

Kidding aside, Windmill Ranch sells Windmills and parts to repair Windmills. As a sideline, Windmill Ranch is also a tourist attraction.... for a donation of $5.00, you can roam around Windmill Ranch all you want. Call ahead, though, to make sure someone would let you in when you get there. Quite a bit of variety... small ones, big ones, tall ones, short ones. There is enough to see from the road-side, though. OR you can jsut check out the pictures I took ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ixWizlQ3uiHOZmJAWKIZ7Q?select=R5AitKI3FgM60cv9TksMOQ ). Something else you'll learn is what CutOuts are. Take a look at Windmill Ranch's gates, they're the Black, flat silhouette objects attached to the fence gate. I didn't know anything like that existed until I rode by this display in Clements - ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/als-metal-cutouts-lockeford#hrid:zILH5LpQ435QlGm8Yb-oSw ). This far-fetched art / craft is so exclusive to the rural community, no one has even contributed an entry in Wikipedia! Frank Medina, the owner / proprietor, claims to had over a thousand of these Windmills... before his Divorce. I guess the Big "D" had an effect on his finances, that's the reason for the suggested donation. I was thinking to myself of adopting one of these puppies... but I wouldn't want Windmills sprouting up from the ground like weeds. Who would I call to Spay or Neuter these things?

Columbia CA is a find in and of itself, and this gold panning activity is just one of the reasons I…read moresay that so confidently. The attractions here are super affordable and, in some cases, free, and they're truly captivating. For about $20 you get a bag of dirt to pan with guaranteed gold in it, a panning lesson, and access to the panning area for the whole day. That's right. This isn't one and done. It's for the entire day. The lesson is fast and furious, but you get the idea by the end. If you don't, just wait for someone else to get theirs and listen in for a refresher. The speed of the lesson and the fact there's no one there to ask questions after is the only reason I'm taking a star off. That said, you can go inside and ask for help, but that takes you away. The man who taught us was kind and gentle with the lesson, and he made sure the kids found their gold. The look on their faces was priceless! I truly thought they'd be done after that one pan but they were so captivated by the idea of finding treasure that I'm sure we spent at least an hour sifting through the sand for gems. This was money well spent, and if you're vacationing in the area, I would highly recommend this be in your plans.

A good time for all. Grab a pan and start panning. Left with garnets and citrine gemstones (panned…read morereally hard for them). Kid friendly activity, there is a park nearby, a small old town to walk through and plenty of public restrooms and parking available.
