25 Reviews This was the first of the 10 architectural tours that the Pasadena Visitors and Convention Bureau put together that I drove, later in the afternoon I also drove through Oak Knoll. The tours have route maps through various areas of architectural significance in Pasadena and while they are meant for...
8 Reviews The Rose Parade is probably the most famous and most beautiful parade in the entire world. It is always held on January 1st of each year unless January 1st is on a Sunday.

3 Reviews So much fun if you are interested in space-exploration, astronomy, and boldly going... The tour is quite informative. It usually starts in the little museum in the visitor center, you'll see a video, go over to the Spacecraft Operations Facility, Spacecraft Assembly, and best of all - the JPL store...
8 Reviews Most people, when asked about Pasadena, first think about the Rose Bowl and the Tournament of Roses Parade. The decision to build a large football stadium in Pasadena was made in the late 1890s but building did not start until 1921. The first football game played in the Rose Bowl took place on 28...
1 Review We have ventured here many of times. If you like flee markets, this is the mother of all flee markets I think. They have all kinds of items for sale. Make sure you dress according to the weather and it does get really hot in Pasedena. Bring lots of water and the concession stands are pricey. Yet,...
1 Review Entrance is $15 but it is free on the first Thursday of every month. You have to get reservations to get into the cafe and tea room and you better not be late because you will loose your place if you do. The museum was not much and could be skipped. The libraries collection is rather extensive. They...
1 Review Art Center is ranked #1 design school in the nation for many years in a row. Come here for year-round cool students' exhibitions I could guarantee they'll blow your artistic mind away (if you've got one!) Even if you're not interested in art and design, this school is located on a hill top, where...
1 Review Although this is actually located in the city of Los Angeles, most visitors to the greater LA area prefer to stay in Pasadena if you are interested in going to Dodger Stadium. Located just south of Pasadena on the 2 freeway, you will be about 7 miles away from the stadium from your hotel in...

Located in the back of the Coffee Gallery. Reservations are highly recommended. See the link below for shows and other info.
10 Reviews Memorial Park is conveniently located near the well beaten path of Old Pasadena and just steps from the Metro Gold Line stop named after the park itself. Stretching from Holly and Walnut St along Raymond Ave. The 5+ acre park features a big, modern playground for the kids, ample lawn space, cement...
6 Reviews I suppose this would be the city's official website. It has quite a bit of information. There is always something going on in Pasadena. That's what makes it such a great town to visit. Nice shopping areas, great nightlife, festivals, concerts, more restaurants that any town I know in SoCal and...

The city remained a small citrus-producing community until the late 1950s, when agriculture gave way to large scale residential development. Today, over 50,000 residents enjoy Glendora's excellent...
