City Body & Frame

California is famous for many things, but one of the most recognized contributors to its fame is its impressive citrus industry. Learn about its history and development by visiting the California Citrus State Historic Park. Appropriately, the museum that tells this very sweet story of the rise of the industry is located outside in a specially designed open-air museum. See all kinds of interesting exhibits and attractions that include numerous displays of vintage farm equipment.

Sometimes, it is best just to let your kids run free and let them explore some wide open spaces. Finding such a destination isn't as hard as you think when you plan for an active afternoon of fun at Riverside's Bordwell Park. This popular attraction has been newly refurbished and features new playground equipment plus a few surprises. These include the recent addition of a climbing wall and upgraded basketball courts and ball fields.

When visiting Riverside and its surrounding areas, you can't miss the opportunity to experience a breathtaking tour of the adjoining wine country. The professionals at Grapeline Wine Country Shuttle tours make it all possible. You can choose from two daily wine tasting tours, with the Vineyard Picnic Tour being the most popular, as it includes a gourmet picnic lunch in a spectacular winery garden. In addition, you will be able to explore several premier wine regions that feature several vintages and tastes that will simply dazzle your senses! There are several tour packages available, so check the website for the one that fits your time schedule and budget.

History and nature balance out in a most alluring way at the Heritage House in Riverside. This is a great romantic date destination because you will get to gaze upon the 1.3 acres of orange groves as well as various historical pieces that are on display at the nearby Heritage House, a 19th century Victorian home that has been restored to an incredible detail. This home reflects what life was like back in the 1800s, and even then, the reliance on the citrus crops was as significant as it is today. You'll no doubt remember your time here with your date as the area is incredibly picturesque, historic, and uniquely California.
