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.

If your kids like to run around, or maybe they are at the age where they still like to play sports with dad, then plan a day at San Bernardino's La Plaza Park. This is an impressive play space attraction that sprawls out over two acres. It features several park benches and picnic tables as well as a picturesque gazebo where mom and dad can rest in the shade while the kids play ball, enjoy the playground rides, or just run around until they are all out of energy!

Schooners is one of those nightlife places that feels like a comfortable pair of old jeans. You always feel comfortable and among friends when you walk into this popular but casual establishment. There is live music scheduled regularly on weeknights as well as several pool tables on which you can demonstrate your impressive billiard skills. And for anyone who wants to have their moment in the spotlight, Schooners also features karaoke.
