Classic Rotors Helicopter Museum

Museum

👍👍 Informative, educational and inspiring. A fabulous collection of iconic whirlybirds including tandem rotor variants designed by Frank Piasecki (e.g., CH-46 Sea Knight - my attached photo). The docents are pilots who are able to explain the operating history and nuances of each helicopter in an und...

Planet Lambretta

Museum

👍👍 I bought a 59 series 1 scooter from Harmik at planet Lambretta. It was a complete nut and bolt restoration. You will not find a person that is as passionate as Harmik is, in regards to the Lambrettas. The price was fair and the turn around time was good. I would recommend Harmik to anyone who is in...

Ganna Walska Lotusland

Museum

👍👍 Lotusland is truly incredible. 37 acres of meticulously kept gardens, from an expansive Japanese garden replete with waterfalls, a huge koi pond, and a pagoda, to the jaw-dropping cactus gardens which contain 50-ft tall saguaro cacti, Lotusland cannot disappoint. These gardens truly are some of the...

Nautical History Gallery & Museum

Museum

👍👍 This is an awesome museum! The owner and artist, Joe (a Navy veteran), LOVES what he does and loves to share it. There is so much history and memorabilia in this room, I was blown away! I actually found this place by accident because another museum I was going to was closed, and I am so happy I di...

Gordon R Howard Museum

Museum

👍👍 All kinds of great artifacts to teach us about local Burbank history. Movie history, war history and founders history. Really a fascinating place to spark your time-traveler's imagination. I came for the free Silent movie screening today. Silent films are best when seen with an audience! There is a...

Galileo Observatory

Museum

👍👍 The observatory is magnificent. You have to visit it, it’s very good. And also ideally placed to see the city of Los Angeles and also the Hollywood sign. For the city it is often polluted and the view will be partly obscured. On the other hand, on the opposite side, you have a view of the Hollywood...

👍👍 The staff was very friendly. It was a nice look into the history of Corona

Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center

Museum

👍👍 I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the museum. There is a lot of history in the neighborhood, and the museum captures part of that history in its displays. The community has been around for many years, enduring the placement of the I-5 freeway that divided the neighborhood. Community activities & ac...

The Slab

Museum

👍👍 This really is the base used for a Naval weapons platform when this area was actively used for Naval Weapons Training. Slab was poured back in February 1971. Great place to take in the local desert views. A off road vehicle or vehicle with good ground clearance is neeeded to access this location.

Sunny Gables Estate

Museum

👍👍 This is wild, but when I was really little in 1962 or so, I lived in this house! I’ve got photos from about 1962-1965? sitting on the flagstone driveway, and various shots in the yard with the exterior which still looks identical! Anyhow, it was the most wonderful house my mom ever lived in, and s...
