A
trip to Claremont California should be planned in advance. Not
because it is difficult, but because there are so many things to do you don’t
want to miss anything. Claremont
is a college town and about a thirty mile drive from Los Angeles. Known well for its lovely tree
lined streets and many older residential areas, you will also find this is the
home of the Claremont
Village; a great area for
shopping and dining.
A Claremont California vacation,
first and foremost, should include a trip to Raging
Waters. Just a short five mile drive, this great water park will deliver
days worth of fun for the whole family. There are several things you need to
remember when visiting the water park. The parking is not free, there is a
minimal charge and the lot is a good distance away, however shuttles are
available for transport. The park can be very crowded on the weekend. If
possible, arrange to go during the week. This is an outdoor water park so the
hours of operation revolve around the weather. You may want to call ahead for
hours of operation when adding this to your Claremont California
vacation agenda. It is also a great idea to buy your tickets online to avoid waiting
in line to purchase a ticket. This is time you would rather be I the water as
it can get pretty hot. Cabanas are available for rent and well worth the extra
money.
A Claremont California
vacation for the auto racing enthusiast must include a trip to the NHRA
Motor Sports Museum. Just four miles away, and only open Wednesday thru
Sunday, you will find it at the Fairplex Gate in Pomona. The museum is on the grounds of the
L.A. County Fair. There is a small admission, and a great gift shop on
property. On this Claremont
California vacation stop you can
see race and vintage cars as well as many paintings and objects that tell the
story of southern California’s
car history.
