Meridian Iron Works Museum

Address: 913 Meridian Ave, S Pasadena, CA 91030, USA

Museum

“Best known for the site where Prestige Worldwide was born!”

Homestead Museum Gallery

Address: City of Industry, CA 91745, USA

Museum

“This is a small memorial hall consisting of two buildings + 1 cemetery. However, it is very worthwhile to come. The main reason is that the wonderful explanation of the guide makes you feel that you are in the right place. Opening starts at 12pm and ends at 4pm. Only open Friday-Sunday every week. Relatively niche. The first building I visited was the Workman house, led by the guide Judy. She was careful, full of enthusiasm, always smiling, and told me everything she knew, and let me have a good understanding of this building built in 1841. The exploration of historic buildings was responded to. She is really great, very professional and you can feel her genuine love for the building. Let me admire very much, this is definitely an excellent explainer. Every story in the house, she will tell the visitors one by one, very seriously. The next hour, I visited La Casa Nuevo, a building next to it. It is definitely an old building full of Spanish style. The specific year of construction should be around 1860. The house, its elegance and exquisite layout, let us see the architectural beauty of two centuries ago. Under Judy's delicate explanation, we all fully understood the story that happened at that time, and it was a very good visit. It's worth a visit.”

Regarding Art SF - Private Museum & Art Tours

Address: 2200 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA

Travel agency Museum

“Linda and I share a mutual love of art and we often find ourselves talking about it at length. I love touring museums with Linda because the conversation never stops. Our time in the museum together gives each of us a chance to share the things we like (or don’t) and in the always lively process increase each other’s art awareness. The last show I took in with Linda was the Legion of Honor’s British Works on Paper 1760-1900 where we saw some of the very landscapes I remembered from my childhood years in England. I love that Linda is organized and sensitive to people’s viewing wishes and that she can take them with brio right to the art that will stir them.”

California Museum of Fine Art

Address: 1010 S Cabrillo Ave, San Pedro, CA 90731, USA

Museum

“My friends and I got tickets for the Yayoi Kusama exhibit when it was here. We were in the group that did not get tickets for the first batch due to technical difficulties, but we managed to snag tickets for a late night viewing at 8pm. California Museum of Fine Art opened extended their hours after the usual business hours to accommodate the mass appeal of the tour.”

Carriage House Museum

Address: 4040 Woodside Rd, Woodside, CA 94062, USA

Museum

Pacific Southwest Railway Museum

Address: 750 Depot St, Campo, CA 91906, USA

Museum

“Very unusual and fun experience. About an hour’s drive from San Diego. Trains inside and outside, some quite rare. Some are also in a state of neglect. Interesting nevertheless. There is a relatively inexpensive train ride that rides along the countryside to about a couple of miles from the border, and then back. Total45 mins. And yes you can see the wall quite clearly. I recommend sitting in the rear car since that way you can actually see out the back door. There is a chance to ride in the locomotive with the engineer as well. Nothing like this for a photo op for the train/history and photography buff! Some spectacular views of the “Wild West”,especially if you go after the rain, when it’s green. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and there on a volunteer basis.”

California Forest Center

Address: 1600 Exposition Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95815, USA

Address: 50770 Seminole Dr, Cabazon, CA 92230, USA

Museum Park Store

“Super cool attraction! I stopped by on a trip to Palm Springs. It’s only about 20 minutes outside the city. As a solo traveling adult, I did not go in just walked around the dinosaurs outside which is free. It’s cool and fun. If you’re only going to the outside you won’t need more than 10 minutes!”

C.N. Gorman Museum

Address: 1 Shields Ave, Davis, CA 95616, USA

Reid-Baldwin Adobe

Address: 107 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007, USA

Museum

“Still closed and undergoing a multiyear restoration. This was the actual residence on the property at the time it was privately owned. Now you can see the construction of an adobe structure and the horno (bread oven) in front. I cannot wait until it is open again.”

Jonathan Bailey House

Address: 13421 Camilla St, Whittier, CA 90601, USA

Museum

“This place is AMAZING!! So glad the city chose to preserve the first house of Whittier!! Everything is authentic with original furnishing. The ladies provide informative tours about The Old Ranch House! I can't believe they found an unused bar of Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap!!! When they raised the house from its foundation they found all sorts of historical items and one of them was soap!! Lots of door knobs and old grooming products! I just with they would have preserve the entire street!!! That would have been awesome!!”

Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum

It is estimated that their family is still the biggest landlord in Greater Los Angeles until today. Amazing family!!!”

Address: 3190 Lionshead Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92010, USA

Museum

“If in the area, this is a nice and interesting museum to check out. It's quite small (literally and figuratively), but there are lots of interesting things. I enjoyed the musical devices, doll houses, matchstick buildings, firearms, and cars. If you really like engines there were many displays. Things go in rotation so in a few months there may be something new.”

Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park

Address: 9980 Greenback Ln, Folsom, CA 95630, USA

Park Museum

“Love this historical place because it still has so much intact! The museum portion is fun for kids to push buttons and learn about electricity. The actual powerhouse is amazing, and the history of how they got everything constructed and shipped is epic. Lots of historical photos. The docents are great - our recent one with a PhD in electrosomethingcrazy was fascinating to listen to and explained the processes that took place when the powerhouse was operational. Very educational.”

The orginal wooden floors have been restored and looks gorgeous. The lighted didplay cases encasing the ribbons from the grange hall men to the wedding dresses from the young women that lived in Waterford. I will stop back in. Theres so much more to see”

Motor Transport Museum

“If you love rusty old vehicles this is for you. Some of the vehicles here are 100+ years old. Photographers heaven. They do occasional Sunday night star shoots. The owner/docent was very friendly. It can be very hot, dress and prepare accordingly. Keep your eyes open for wildlife, including bees and rattlesnakes.”

“, This site is an historical treasure! It's officially open the first Saturday of the month, but really open most Saturdays. The docents are more than gracious and competent.

Robert Irwin's Central Garden

Address: 1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049, USA

Museum Park

“A welcome bonus when looking out from the Getty Center! Visitors are in for a visual treat to see the landscaping, as the garden captures the attention when viewed from the museum above! A creation of California artist Robert Irwin, which I think brings life to nature’s palette! Lawn crossing pathways lead to an irregular passage, crisscrossing a cascading stream. The finale downhill flow ends with a waterfall into a pond. Neatly cut bordered sidewalks guide visitors down into circle paths at the pond. Down here is a garden labyrinth maze, set upon a small lily pad pool with ducks surrounding it. Also, an obvious attraction near the pond are the large trellis-tree bougainvillea. I’ve not usually seen such form for a plant so scattered! Looking back up at the Getty Center from the garden reveals the exquisite nature of the museum and research structures. The earth tone travertine exterior blends nicely with the hills!”

Seymour Marine Discovery Center

Address: 100 McAllister Way, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, USA

Aquarium Museum Store

“This discovery center is relatively small but filled with great educational stations, opportunities for hands on experiences and beautiful views upon exiting. I enjoyed my visit because it didn't feel overwhelming. Also, I appreciated that the staff welcomed curious adults like myself to touch animals and get involved without making you feel a kind of way. Great place for family trips, dates and solo exploration. Plus, beautiful area to take pics. I recommend this place hands down!”
