Travel tips
Because it’s just off the Orange Freeway and set in a suburban shopping area, having a car can make it simpler to reach nearby parks, museums, and campuses, and to take advantage of free on-site parking. If you’re planning a water-park day, Raging Waters Los Angeles is close (about 1.18 km away). For flights or large events, Ontario International Airport and the Ontario Convention Center are each about 17 miles away, so allow extra time during peak traffic hours.
