Review:

Have you ever wanted to step into the shoes of a world adventurer? Visit the Wilbur D. May Center and get a glimpse into the life and collections of the world traveler, rancher, pilot, artist, businessman, and philanthropist. Located inside the Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, guests of all ages can enjoy a fun learning experience through the venter’s museum, arboretum, and botanical gardens. The museum, designed in a ranch-style aesthetic in favor of May’s own ranch-style home, displays thousands of unique and rare artifacts from May’s many adventures throughout his life. Visitors can view exotic treasures such as Egyptian tomb items, African tribal masks, Polynesian carvings, Chinese pottery, and many more. Guided tours are also available to help navigate and learn about the enormous archive of historical and foreign objects.
