A Day in San Juan

One of the best kept secrets in Southern California is the San Juan Mission. Built and founded in 1776, the mission is described as "the Jewel of the California Missions." Upon entering the mission, you will feel as though you have gone back in time. You can experience the new "Voices of the Mission" audio tour which provides detailed and interesting information throughout the mission. As you walk through the mission area you will love the serenity of the beautiful gardens and the rustic chapel. You will also be amazed by the Great Stone Church, which gives you an amazing picture of what life back in the 18th century would have been like. The entire family will love the experience.

From there, you can walk old town San Juan and enjoy the local culture of the area. From the quaint boutiques, to the excellent restaurants, it is a wonderful way to spend the day. A day in San Juan wouldn't be complete without a tour of the Los Rios Historic District with a visit of the new retablo in the Mission Basilica. The kids will also love Zoomars petting zoo where they can feed the emu's, hold the bunnies, and ride a pony.

Throughout the summer, another fun evening activity is "Music under the Stars," when a crowd gathers inside the mission to enjoy a wonderful band and excellent food.

Step back in time and enjoy an amazing San Juan Experience!
