For fun, exhilaration, and exercise, hit the trail! But this just isn't any ordinary trek, this is the popular Santa Ana River Trail. This is an extensive, winding trail that runs along the Santa Ana River and offers walkers, hikers, joggers and bikers an excellent way to get out of the city and get closer to nature while getting some great exercise. The path stretches out over 70 miles, so there is plenty of room for you and your fellow trail-dwellers.

The Jurupa Mountains Cultural Center is more than just a history lesson–it is a compelling, interactive experience that offers visitors a chance to learn about archeology, geology, paleontology, and earth sciences. There are several types of experiences that await you the minute you step through the door of this enticingly well-laid out museum. There's a good balance of hands-on activities, multi-media exhibits and visually compelling presentations that all make for a “rock solid” experience that's both educational and fun.

The Fox Theatre in Riverside exudes a nearly palpable vintage charm. When you consider its history, it's no wonder that this haven for actors and performances of all kinds has a unique history and drama all its own. Initially featuring vaudeville performers, the theater soon began to screen films in the wake of the move away from vaudeville-type performances. Perhaps because of its proximity to Hollywood, this was a favorite entertainment venue for filmmakers to screen their soon-to-be-released movies for lucky audiences. The Fox holds the distinction of being the first place that Gone with the Wind was publicly screened. Various types of shows, concerts, and performances still take place here today.
