The Big Bear Solar Observatory proves to be as mighty and impressive as its name. This facility was originally built back in 1965 by the California Institute of Technology and is now maintained by the New Jersey Institute of Technology. It has the distinction of being one of only six solar observatories in the world, plus the added attraction of being located on an island in the center of a lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. The location proves to be ideal for looking heavenward as there is minimal pollution, the skies are typically clear, and the airflow is smooth, making for great views that are nothing less than stunning.

The two of you can rough it just a little bit while still having some highly comfortable amenities when you plan a romantic getaway to a cabin at Big Bear Lake. These Big Bear destinations will prove to be a uniquely fun and inviting scenario for both of you to get away from it all.

Fans of history know that it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to get a glimpse of what life was like centuries ago. Luckily, places like the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens make it possible to revisit history. This amazing structure was built in 1897 and was considered the “castle” because of its distinctive design. It stands as a fine example of lavish Victorian architecture. The home's namesake, Kimberly Crest, donated the property to the city of Redlands and it has been a vital historical link to the area's past ever since. The house is available for tours, but it is suggested that you call ahead to schedule a specific time.
