Baker Film Collection complement a year-round display of artifacts, graphics, and commissioned artwork. Visit the heart of historic Garden Grove to catch a show at the Gem Theater. See a quality production of theater, music or art (or a combination) at this intimate entertainment venue.

Gather freshly-laid eggs, milk a cow, bottle-feed a baby goat, ride a pony and more on this fun, interactive and educational farm.
