In a nutshell
Keeps Getting Better!
tanzylynne Says: As a local historian in Riverside, I'm very familiar with the city's historic neighborhoods, commercial centers, and industrial areas. If you share my love of old buildings and early 20th century architecture, try this activity on for size:Go to City Hall or the Visitors...
Yaqui Says: They have another wonderful display of honoring the War Dog and their handlers located inside of the museum too. Some really lovely displays and photography to enjoy.

Yaqui Says: For those may want to take a break, they have a wonderful tram tour that only cost $3.00 per person and it takes approximately 30 minutes. It’s a big park, so if you know of someone with disabilities, this a great way for those to enjoy the whole park. They do have these...
Yaqui Says: Outside you have over 50 aircraft to view. They span from aircraft trainers, bombers, propeller driven to jet engine aircraft. Many of the aircraft are owned by the museum, while others are on load. It’s a very unique opportunity because you can actually see aircraft take...
Yaqui Says: They have so many wonderful historical exhibits to browse thru, so take your time. Suspend from above is a P-39, TG-2 and Nieuport 11. On the floor is a PT-6, P-6. PT-19, L-5, BT-13. As you walk through, you will discover many wonderful exhibits that span many eras of...
Yaqui Says: This is a national museum dedicated to the Lockheed P-38, the workhorse of WWII. It was considered one of America’s most versatile aircraft. They have a fabulous exhibit with a replica P-38 aircraft. The volunteers here are wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable.In front of...

It is more modern, chic, and has a larger dining area. it is an upscale dining place with plenty of romantic ambience. A great place to take your date out for the first time to make a lasting first...
Babylon: It was great until they became a nightclub
tanzylynne Says: This is a mediterranean/middle eastern type restaurant, complete with a hookah patio and weekend belly dancers. My husband and I used to go there so often we were prone to calling it "the kitchen," but in the past year or so we both agree that it's gone downhill. The food...

tanzylynne Says: On the outside, The Sire looks like a crappy stucco box. However, I'm convinced that their sign is a City Landmark. Rising to over 15 ft high in its 1960s, pre-sign ordinance goodness, this neon horseshoe is a focal point for an area in Riverside called the "Magnolia...

acemj Says: That's me posing on top of my 1983 Ford LTD which is parked in front of the house that I lived in during my second year at UC Riverside. I lived here with three fraternity guys and as a result had just as much trouble getting any studying done here as I did in the dorms!
Not The Place If You Fear Heights
lmkluque Says: A great place to be at sunrise or sunset or anytime the skies are clear to see the expanded view. However, getting to the top of Mount Rubidoux can be a dreaded experience for one who is acrophobic! The first part of the way up the hill is quite charming, tree lined streets...
Yaqui Says: Just for every ones safety, these are real aircraft and there are many components that can have sharp edges. So watch your little ones, especially those aircraft that are roped off. Plus, they ask not to touch the aircraft if possible. Although, they aircraft are made of...
lmkluque Says: The traffic was daunting at times and though Riverside was not near Los Angeles, the crowded streets were reminiscent of driving through that congested city. One day while stopped at a street light I noticed a big sign, "DON'T BLOCK THE BLOCK!" I wondered what it meant and...
acemj Says: Well, this is more of a student trap, but make sure that if you go to college you don't wake up and start playing video games! Here's one of my friends that lived on my hall getting hooked on a game of Nintendo and skipping yet another class.
lmkluque Says: This View, from my neighborhood, always surprised me. The summer temperature could soar past 95 degrees in Riverside and I could still see snow in the mountains.Big Bear, elevation 6754 feet and Lake Arrowhead altitude 5100 feet are the two more popular skiing areas near...
lmkluque Says: I'd lived in Riverside seven months before driving the scenic, winding road up to Mount Rubidoux. I had heard people talking about it but was too busy working to take any time off. Mount Rubidoux rises 1339 feet above the Santa Ana River and the Father Serra Cross and the...
lmkluque Says: March Air Force Base is located just outside of Riverside and it is not unusual to see a strong show of support for the troops such as in the photo for the troops in Desert Sheild and Desert Storm.It was not unusual to meet fighter pilots around town or to see a fascinating...

danmcf Says: As for site seeing, you may want to check out the Mission Inn complex. Originally a ranch home, the owner turned it into an inn, in the Spanish Mission style architecture, in the late 1800's. Very pretty setting, they do a lot of weddings here. Rooms were available in the...
