Check off the top two musts for the ulti-
mate getaway—value and versatility.
Regardless of age, budget or preferred
level of adventure, you will literally find
something for everyone because Greater
Ontario is quite simply, magical.
Several treasures lie within the Greater
Ontario area that makes it a top-ranking
destination. For starters, Ontario Interna-
tional Airport is a gateway to and from
major destinations throughout the U.S.,
Central America, Mexico, and Asia offering
ease of travel, and providing over 6,000
hotel rooms. This central location presents
easy access to mountain and desert escapes,
beaches and a multitude of entertainment.
History is alive and well with a variety of
ways to take it all in. Stroll down Euclid
Avenue in the downtown arts district and
stop at the Ontario Museum of History &
Art (OMHA) to learn about the history and
cultural heritage of Ontario and the sur-
rounding area. Explore the historical
Pacific Electric Trail which spans 21 miles
and runs through five Greater Ontario area
cities. If you decide to go the distance by
car, prepare to detour towards a multitude
of historic monuments that will enrich
your views of Greater Ontario. Take a detour
off Route 66 to postwar furniture designer
Sam Maloof’s Residence and Gardens for a
guided tour then continue on to several
places to shop or dine.

shops around Ontario Town Square or at
the mega outlet center, Ontario Mills. At
Rancho Cucamonga’s Victoria Gardens,
home to the only Bass Pro Shop in Southern
California, anchor stores are surrounded by
small shops arranged as city blocks served
by a cultural center with a theater and a
library. Also here, foodies can indulge in a
variety of fare at Haven City Market which
houses more than 20 unique restaurants.
Every month, Haven City Market schedules
a lineup of live music, movie nights,
comedy magic shows, and much more!
For avid concertgoers, Toyota Arena is
the place to be, with over 11,000 seats, VIP
suites and 200 shows annually for major
artists such as Carrie Underwood, Metallica
and Elton John. Indulge in top-notch culi-
nary options and multiple bars to satisfy
your craft beer or cocktail desires. It is also
the official home for Ontario Fury and
Ontario Reign, so sports enthusiasts can
have their fill of indoor sports in season.
Another must-do is Top Golf, which
opened this year next door to Cucamonga-
Guasti Regional Park. Cap off your trip
at this three-level, 600,000-square-foot
venue, featuring over a hundred golf-hitting
bays, a full-service restaurant and a bar,
over 200 televisions and a rooftop terrace
to kick back and take in the gorgeous
weather that Ontario offers.
It’s all here to enjoy and indulge in, how-
ever you’d like—in Greater Ontario!
