The museum features air-conditioned hangars that allow you to interact with the exhibits, giving you up-close access to the aircraft.
Additionally, the museum provides a unique peek into the history of the military’s operations over the last century. Book a ride aboard a selection of aircraft and enjoy a 20 to 30-minute adventure for a more realistic experience.
San Jacinto Peak
Relish the stunning scenery atop Southern California’s second-highest peak. The San Jacinto Peak rises to nearly 11,000 feet, although you’ll exit the tram at 8,516 feet, climbing the rest of the way on a 5.5-mile hike. Once you reach the summit, enjoy panoramic city views as you unwind in peaceful solitude.
Temperatures at the top are often 30 to 40 degrees cooler than on the valley floor, so kindly remember to dress in layers. If you intend to go camping, pass by the ranger station for a permit before heading out.
