Summer is right around the corner, and it’s time to come up with some fun activities to keep everyone entertained. Here’s a free activity that you’ll love. Check it out!
The California Citrus State Historic Park is located at 9400 Dufferin Avenue in Riverside.
Kyle A./Yelp The park is open seven days a week. Visit Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
