"Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly!"
-Frank Tyger
From The BLVD and Dry Town Water Park, to the Poppy Reserves and The Cat House, there's a lot to do in the Antelope Valley. Take a look as some of the options below!
Enjoy movies and concerts at the Palmdale Amphitheater, cool down at the City Library or Dry Town Water Park, check out Thursday Nights on the Square, or take a tour of history at the Blackbird Airpark Museum or Joe Davies Heritage Airpark.
There's something for everyone!
"Lancaster, CA is the hub of the Antelope Valley and home to the beauty and clear blue skies of the California High Desert."
Home to the Musical Road, California Poppy Festival, and the LA County Air Show, there is always something to do!
EDWARDS AFB & ROSAMOND
Edwards AFB and Rosamond are located just north of the LA/Kern County line.
Make sure to schedule (in advance!) a tour of the Air Force Flight Test Museum at Edwards for an up close look at the aircraft on display and a history of Edwards AFB and the Antelope Valley.
Rosamond is home to "The Cat House" - offering a one of a kind look at many endangered felines.
With 7 miles of trails (including a paved wheelchair accesible one), the Poppy Reserves offers stunning views of the AV, poppies, and a large variety of wildflowers.
You can also see photos and wildflower updates on their Facebook page.
WANT TO GET OUT OF TOWN?
If you're feeling stir crazy and want to get out of town, the AV makes a great starting point. In just a few hours (depending on traffic), you could be at the beach, skiing, wine tasting or in Las Vegas!
You could be a tourist - visit Universal Studios, Disneyland, California Adventure, Warner Brothers Studio, Griffith Park, Six Flags, Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier...
You could enjoy a weekend near the coast in San Diego, Santa Barabara, Catalina Island, or San Luis Obispo...
You could go skiing in the winter at Mountain High Resort, Big Bear Lake, or Mammoth Mountain...
You could check out all the varieties of wine California has to offer...from Temecula, to Paso Robles, to Napa/Sanoma, and plenty more places in between...
And with hundreds of State parks to choose from, there are hiking and camping options for everyone.
As the third largest state in the USA, from San Diego to San Francisco, there are so many options a person could never get board. Go to VisitCalifornia for many more ideas!
