This place was so nice to walk around and have a nice picnic. The grass area, tables and restrooms were clean and the oranges we bought in the stand outside were sweet and juicy.

This is an especially lovely State Park. They support Circle types of citrus but you are not allowed to Pick Nor take any other fruit. They do have a stand across the street or you can purchase the fruit. You need to pay for parking and usually theres nobody at the guard shack so its a self-pay honor System. They have a few miles of decomposed Granite walking trails, Acres of lush green grass and orange groves, beautiful landscaping done with the 1850s look. The bathrooms are nice for a park and always very clean. There are also barbecues and picnic areas with receptacles for the hot coals after youre done barbecuing. My favorite feature is the beautiful old style event building on the grounds done in old style beveled glass, wood slate and a beautiful interior with two large chandeliers and wood floors. You can rent this out for events and theres ample parking. Further up theres a citrus history information center which is very interesting and worth taking the kids. But if youre looking for a nice peaceful environment to get some exercise walking, this is the place to do it.

Great place. We went there to take photos with my wife and our two dogs and the background is just amazing. Great place to walk your dogs, hike, and take photos.

This is such a wonderful park to explore and take a walk or enjoy a picknik. There were plenty of signs on the enterance that say it is only $5 dollars to park. I was able to get my parking pass from a machine and Claudia who works there was very friendly, helpful, and nice. I had the most amazing time here and will be returning often to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and citrus trees.

My husband and I were invited by my sister in law. We drove there not knowing what to expect. When we arrived, there was a small number of guest and everyone kept their distance and masked on. We walked around the different orchids. Many different types of citrus trees and the view is just breathtaking. I recommend this location for a breeze walk.

Family friendly place. Nice trails.Grilling and Picknick Area. Also have covered benches. Amazing . Also they allow petsLoved it.

Free admission, but parking is $5. I came here for a history project and was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere. It was such a nice day and the park is so clean and nicely kept. I enjoyed looking at everything, the sound of the birds chirping made me feel peaceful. There is a lot to see and you could spend a pretty good 2 hours here just learning about the history of Riversides citrus trees. I will definitely be back here soon to see the rest.

Very nice Park very clean and well kept up, first time there but not last...

Beautiful place to take pictures, we had a session for some photos and they came out amazing, so many spots to take pictures and trails to even go hiking, most definitely coming back

I had a nice time here. The tour was very interesting, just learning about the citrus. So many things I did not know. The museum had some great exhibitions. I love that it talked about the different people that help citrus industry get were it is. I chatted the staff a little after the tour. People were nice and friendly.

On a clear, cool winter’s day, this place is idyllic. It’s got stunning views of the mountains surrounding expansive citrus groves. I took a guided tour in which we each collected a sack of countless varieties of citrus. I took this home to my family and they were very pleased to have a citrus-eating party. Great combination of beautiful grounds and insight into the citrus industry of SoCal.

My family when for my son school project and we enjoyed it its was pretty fun and historical

Kids really enjoyed it. Great place for picnics and just getting out of the house. Its not a playground kinda park.

This place is a hidden gem in riverside. Peaceful scenic views of orange groves. The orange tasting is one of its kind of experience. Love this place.

Good place to go out and visit, wish if they would have on the grounds small playground for kids but that us not available, but there are trails you can walj, or run even bike around. On the grassy are it is a barbecue set up. Very nice orange groves around and a museum which us open to public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it is free.

Beautiful place with gorgeous trails. We went to one of the free tours and they were very educational and friendly. They gave us our bag with oranges. We had orange tasting of different types of oranges. They have a cute little museum. Would definitely recommend the family to go at least once if you are local.

Very nice paved paths to walk on. Really well kept and beautiful orange trees of every kind. Good experience and exercise walking around. They have pavilions and a nice grass park to in or on to eat and relax.

Great place to walk. Made this place a part of our date with my wife. Lots of variety of citrus trees, very educational.

Beautiful place to spend a nice afternoon. Great for families. $ $5.00 entrance fee.

Theres a $5 parking fee. No sign, no booth with a guy that gives you a ticket. And they tried to fine us $75. Literally the only the car in the parking lot, the ranger saw us, didnt say anything, wrote the ticket and left. No courtesy, no chance to pay, and no obvious signs that there is a parking fee.

Cool place to visit in the morning or afternoon

Very nice place. It is relaxing.

Wonderful to go for a run around this area!

Perfect place to stretch your legs and enjoy one of Californias best citrus produce.

Beautiful park with amazing Orange Groves!

Loved it. Very beautiful scenery.

Calm and quiet place for a half day visit. Dont forget to buy oranges on the way back

Went here for a wedding and it was a beautiful location and venue. It was inside the Sunkist building and on the patio. An absolutely charming place.

This place was fabulous! After attending a friends funeral, we thought we would look around Riverside where my friend had grown up and we stumbled upon this place, which turned out to be perfect. The staff was amazing and very friendly. I forgot her name, but the older white lady who gave us the tour was wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed how she let us taste some of the various citrus fruits. The groups fav was the Australian purple little citrus fruit. Forget the actual name, but it was like citrus caviar. Their gift shop was cute and I found some delicious citrus jam there that was yummy over buttered toast. The young man who did the tasting table was very nice and knowledgeable.

Very nice museum, kids enjoyed it. You can get samples of oranges and they give you oranges to take home. A few easy hiking trails. - $5 for parking/admission

Wow what can I say but this place is absolutely beautiful. I had a wonderful time at this park and will be back again soon!There are many things to do from walking around, seeing birds, and many other things

It has so many different types of wild animals and birds. Simply beautiful for picture taking or driving through!

Great place.. interesting historical museum. A place you must visit to know how Southern California developed. Thank you to Riverside for preserving Citrus plantation. Even the original Citrus plant is still alive, lies at Arlington Magnolia. Offer citrus/orange testing and also provides tour at 11.00 am.

What a nice place for a stroll

This is such a beautiful area in Riverside! The staff are really good about answering questions and giving the history behind the citrus industry in California. They also allow you taste a lot of the fruits growing there, and they are really delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, especially the walk through the park.

What a great place to visit and take a walk with your best pup!

Great walk throw orange and avocado trees

Great place to come with the family for a walk and to relax. They have a park with picnic tables and grills as well. There is a visitor center that has lots of history about the citrus. They give out samples of the various oranges and lemons that are grown here. There is a tour that last 45 minutes to an hour. One is at 11am and the other at 2 pm. You only pay 5 dollars for the parking. They have a gift shop as well.

Great park. Beautifully curated rows of citrus fruit trees that are back dropped by the mountains and surrounding city. The wind was blowing strong which amplified the aromatics of the tree.Parking has a registration for, that costs $5 but we got there a little after 4pm and no one seemed to mind that we didn’t pay. Museum was closed so we missed that but the rest of the park was worth it.

Great place to visit and learn about different citrus trees. The people who work and volunteer are also great!

Beautiful park. Wish it was used more to host fun events. Needs more parking

What a view. Defiantly a great place to see what the so cal history really look like before they took all the citrus away. There also is a museum and tours, but we missed those. Will be going back to picnic and do the tours.

Such a great little park, and learned a lot about the many varieties of citrus

This is probably one of the best parks in Riverside and worth the small parking fee to keep it going... and yes there is a sign for the parking fee, but apparently some people cannot read!

Beautiful venue for photography and events

I love coming to this park. This place is always so peaceful. The smell of the citrus is very relaxing. While you are here, visit the visitor center. The center has a great display about the history of citrus. During harvest time, the visitor center gives samples of different citrus. This is where we treated Oro Blanco grapefruits for the first time. Absolutely delicious.The docents are always friendly and knowledgeable. The tours are pretty decent. This park is all worth the entry fee of five dollars.

Educational and beautiful to visit. Could be even better if the trails were better marked. The tasting allows a more interactive aspect but could be more

Happy anniversary 6 years ago today

The walking on the trails was enjoyable, the museum is open Frl. Sat. and Sun only. The entrance kiosk was closed and the parking fee machine was out of service so be sure to find the other machine and pay there or youll get a $72.00 ticket! We dont plan on going back there if they treat guests like that.

Small but fun little historic park. There is a museum and lots of little trails any fitness level can achieve.

A very beautiful park with so much to see.

Walk through the mini museum. Stroll the orange fields with a picnic lunch. Pack out your trash. Call ahead for tour times. $5 parking fee. No fruit picking, but fruit stands are located in the general area.

I love visiting this park. I highly recommend taking a tour. They are very informative about the history of citrus production in CA and the different varieties of citrus that they grow in the park. If you come at the right time of year, you can try some of the different oranges!

This was a great place to visit with the family on a weekend. We loved the citrus tasting and learned a lot about the history of the citrus industry in Southern California. I would definitely recommend visiting and they have a great spot for picnics after you’re done inside

A must go to.Tour through the groves and learn about the history of citrus.Beautiful view of the grove.At the end a taste test of the citrus that is ripe.The staff is informed and friendly.

This park is so cute and they had citrus tasting ...everything tasted so yummy. Nice find for sure.

Very educational. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in different types of citrus.

We enjoyed walking through the beautiful park!!!

The staffs are very kind to introduce us to taste different kinds of citrus fruits. We all enjoy the wonderful time there today.

My family and I attended a celebration of life for our 100 year old grandma who passed away. The facility was perfect and met all of our needs. We had a catered luncheon. There was plenty of room for dinner tables, display tables for pictures of our grandmothers memorable life.The restrooms were very clean. The outside patio was great for young ones to play.

Always drove by for years. Never visited. Finally stopped to check it out. Great, interesting place. Great place to take the kids to learn something new.

We are new to Riverside and this was one of our first outings. Our family (from ages 6-51) had a wonderful time visiting and learning about the varieties of citrus grown in this area. Our tour guide was so friendly and funny! His knowledgeable explanations and his whit made it a delightful experience.The others visitors within our group added to the experience by sharing their insights and stories as well. Beautiful views and photo ops made it a hit! Loved the indoor museum, super clean and warm restrooms and the TASTING table. The gift shop was on point. Nothing over done and not lacking either. Simple and tasteful. Pun intended.We will definitely be back and every visitor we ever have will be taken here! Inspired to learn more about the citrus history of Riverside.

If you love learning about citrus plants as we do then youd love this park. Entry fee is $5 per car ($4 for seniors over 62) and they have guided tours in the weekends, which wed highly recommend. The views are nice and its interesting learning about citrus farming in California. There is a stall at the entrance where you can buy oranges and other fruits in season.

This was a very informational place to learn about citrus. Of course, the best part was the free tasting of all the different kinds!

Liked the info and displays at hand. The staff are informed and very friendly.

Beautiful grounds, very nice staff and lots of info in the Visitors Center. And the samples were wonderfully refreshing.

We attended a wedding here. The place is fantastic! Orange groves surround a rustic banquet hall, surrounded by palm trees, Japanese curry blossoms, and a majestic view of the San Bernardo mountains, parking is plentiful, and hanging and string lights are tastefully spread out over the surroundings to light the place up at night. It looked like Disneys California Adventure had this place in mind for their decor.

An amazing park. Museum is top notch and I formative. Gift shop is cool and the walking tour of the orchard is awesome.

A beautiful location for a wedding!

Beautiful clean park. Its has my daughters favorite track to practice on for cross country.

My Son had his wedding here. Was so beautiful and the park really helped with making it special.

Great history to learn.

Just strolled through and enjoyed the scenery myself. 4 star because they make picking an orange feel like a federal offense lol

It is wonderful to see orange groves as California land gets developed and small groves disappear. The citrus tasting very informative..some very unique citrus like the Budhas hand and manaquat.

We picked a perfect day to be outdoors enjoying a tour of the dozens of citrus varieties grown onsite! Manfred led our tour. His command of his topics and of the citrus industrys history was spectacular! Thank you!

It was cool but it was like 99 degrees and hot but it was as a very pretty park

Visited the Park yesterday and had a wonderful time learning about the significance that the citrus industry has had in the Riverside area and Inland Empire as a whole. The visitors center was open and contained information regarding the history of citrus in the New World, as well as offering a guided tour on Fridays at 11 & 2. The tour was approximately one hour in length, but it was quite informational and provided a great perspective of how different types of crops are grown, harvested, and maintained. There was even a wonderful sampling of citrus at the conclusion of the tour! Well worth the $5 donation.

Great little park. Contains a museum, gift store, grass areas with picnic tables and BBQs, and some nice walking trails with Vista points.

It is very quiet and relaxing and I love to take my dog on nice days. The area for parties is beautiful. I just wish there were longer paths to walk. You do need to pay $5 for parking.

Great place to walk or run and catch the history of the citrus industry and gorgeous views of southern Riverside countryside. Worth the small parking fee. Get there early for cooler temps, definitely uphill climbs but you can also stay on the flat paths AND go across the street to Arlington Sports park to extend your activity. Museum is also worth a stop. Check hours though online. Photographic wonders too.

Beautiful park, wonderful place for a wedding and reception. The event room was large with open beamed ceilings and a very comfortable feeling.

It was so open and nice

We loved it! The tour Guides are super informative, helpful, and friendly.

Attended a wedding at the banquet facility and thought it was really nice. A unique location with a beautiful and interesting outdoor atmosphere, all within the Citus groves. You would never know its within the city. Definitely a rare find.

Lovvveeee this place! So nice to get some fresh orange air and walk around!!

Love walking and running.

Great for a pick nock

There is a $5 entrance fee here, and it was very much worth it. I ate $5 worth of free samples just from the tasting station.We got lucky and jumped into a guided tour with one of the volunteers and he was AMAZING! We learned so much from him, and really made the experience wonderful. I wish I remembered his name. (Older German ex-marine, maybe)A side note. Dogs are allowed and bathrooms are air conditioned.

Beautiful place great history lessons of riverside very peaceful and relaxing bathrooms are clean and great place to have parties and weddings

This seems like a rather nice place when you dont have the need to stress over XCountry races. If only I knew that feeling...

I love this park because 8tnis clean, smells good.and has a great historic value for the community. The museum tells the story of citrus and its involvement here in Riverside. The orange blossoms smell wonderful. Great place for pictures and reception hall is large enough for parties or family gatherings, reunions, etc.

I wish there was more to it. Even though it said it closed at a specific time, it was still closed when it said it should be open. The orange booth is cute but i wish they used it to add to authenticity. Loved that you could hike around but also wished we can go into the old Sunkist center and view where the old headquarters use to be at.

California Citrus State Historic Park is interesting and beautiful. The orchards are lovely and the museum exhibits are well organized. The museum building has a lot of interesting historical information about the citrus industry, and where the citrus trees originally came from.

Beautiful space in Riverside. I have been through here running in the morning or for the Citrus Heritage Run that courses through here. Yesterday was my first time in one of the buildings. The funeral reception was hosted in the brown building (1st left turn when you enter the park) and the setup was beautiful with views of the citrus trees all around.

This is one of my favorite state parks. The best season to go are November through March to taste the sweetest fruit. I learnt so much about oranges, their origin and history. Its a must visit.

Nice place to go for a walk. Just be respectful and clean up after yourselves.

View very serene environment

Amazing.

Biurifull

Amazing place to take your kids and family.
