Review:

The inland city of Riverside is located 60 miles east of Los Angeles. The city is the birthplace of the California citrus industry and home to over two dozen National Historic Sites. Take a self-guided downtown walking tour, available at the Riverside Metropolitan Museum, Mission Inn Museum or Riverside City Hall. At the California Citrus State Historic Park, you’ll learn about the role of the citrus industry in the area’s development, known as the ‘second Gold Rush.’ Take a guided tour of the groves and browse the exhibits at the visitor center. The historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa offers 75-minute tours and a 360-degree view from the rooftop. The largest example of Mission Revival–style architecture in the U.S., the Inn has hosted President Regan, President Nixon and several celebrities.
