Stadium was clean, and sight lines were great due to the smaller venue. Didn't care for the ribbed bench seats that for some reason hit a nerve and make my legs go numb. Watched half the chargers/philly game from the stubhub backyard in the lounge chairs. Lots of venues for food and drink at a steep upcharge and all pretty mediocre from what I tried. Good time but it has room for improvement.

We visited the Adobe Museum when attending a re-enactment in the same grounds.
(The quaintly named Battle of the Old Woman's Gun).
Tranquil setting. You get a conducted tour of the D R Adobe Museum and from this we gained an excellent insight into the historical struggle for California.
Beautiful grounds and we especially liked the cactus garden.

Whenever Cerritos residents have guests the library is the Number Three tourist attraction after Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. The award-winning Cerritos Library is owned and operated by the City.
The Children's room is outstanding having the giant aquarium as its front wall. They have their own dinosaur named 'Stan' and a group of computers to use. It's a great place for the kids.
next to the Front Desk is the media room, with a great selection of CDs and DVDs. There is an "Internet Station" where you can check your email, or do a brief search.
Upstairs by the stacks is a bank of computers to use for study for research -free.
They also have a group of 'Study Rooms' that can be reserved in advance. If you have a group study project you can use one of the rooms and not disturb the other patrons.
The library also houses a great art collection and a special event room on the top floor. The Skylight room also has a roof-top patio,

I was here for a poker tournament and it is nice not to have to deal with traffic and just go upstairs when you are done playing!

Safety is so important to me when thinking about bowling solo-this place rocks it. On a part of Vermont that is hectic, the lot is spacious and well lit. People are everywhere so likelihood of any incident is minor to nil.Clubby atmosphere, everyone knows others. Now to the food- asian-type breakfasts in addition to diner fare. All so good. Large portions. I come back often.

The Memorial Space Center is a very interesting and poignant memorial. It is really well laid out and for kids of all ages (including adults) there are many activities to keep all entertained for a few hours. The staff are really polite and helpful

Well I had some free time after working all day on a literary project, so decided to catch a late show, but none of the local theatres' viewing times had anything I wanted to see. Enter The Paramount for a fun option. I arrived right before the 2nd show, so poked around the snack bar and video game selection. I was all at once awash in memories of fun childhood trips to both the arcade as well as my beloved fav the institute that is the iconic drive in theatre. What a lasting treasure I hope lasts for generations to come.

Twice bought shirts at Nordstrom, but couldn’t find a jacket. My friend found bargains for a 10 month old granddaughter at Macy’s. Dined at night twice in Brio (I think) Italian restaurant and had lunch in Nordstrom’s 2nd level cafe with a heated patio. There is also a separate Barnes & Noble bookstore between the Street and parking lot that is open late.

What a great part! There is so much to do here and even a farmers market next door. Went hair for a one year old's birthday party complete with a train ride! If I lived here I would be here all the time!
10. Celebrity Helicopters Day Tours
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Jennifer G - Hamilton, Bermuda
We were excited about this tour but was left disappointed. Service was bad. Complimentary snack basket was poor and our driver was not sociable at all. We were all dressed to the nines and excited to act like celebrities for the night and we ended up feeling overdressed on a public transportation type ride. The helicopter ride itself was beautiful though so just choose another company. I don't recommend this company at all. Pick another.
