Rancho Los Cerritos

Very cool place to bring the family and walk around exploring. The kids will enjoy looking around and exploring in the back yard. Check out the huge tree and beautiful flowers. Make a reservation online to help out if possible and ask for a scavenger hunt sheet for the kiddos!

A beautiful piece of history tucked away in Long Beach. This is a gem of a place that’s seldom visited. I would highly recommend doing the tour with the guide. Lovely garden that’s well kept and very peaceful.

A hidden gem In the city of Long Beach. Seeing the old Adobes really takes you back in time. I can't help but imagine what life was like for the indigenous people before the Europeans arrived. I love the city but it can be hectic at times. This is a place where you can take a stroll and slow down from the hustle and bustle of city life...

A great spot for a family outing and some relaxed exploring! The kids will have a blast wandering through the backyard and discovering little surprises along the way. Don’t miss the giant tree and the stunning flowers it’s all very picturesque.If you can, book your visit online to make things easier, and be sure to ask for a scavenger hunt sheet to keep the little ones entertained!

Stunning historic site not to be missed! If you possibly can attend an event here, I promise you you won’t be sorry! You will be wrapped in Mission Spanish architecture, and old trees!

Beautiful place. They can get pretty aggressive as our family was accused of taking commercial photos when we definitely weren’t. It’s very well-kept with the outdoor, interior and courtyard areas looking amazing.

I love this place and the tours are phenomenal. Thank you to all the volunteers and people who sponsor this beautiful house and gardens.

Rancho Los Cerritos is an absolute gem, and taking the docent tour is an absolute MUST for anyone visiting! From the moment we stepped onto the beautiful grounds, we were transported back in time, and our experience was elevated to perfection by our incredible tour guide, Laura. Laura was simply fantastic – knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of the rancho and the families who lived here. Her guided tour of both the historic house and the stunning gardens was captivating. She wove stories and details together seamlessly, bringing the past to life in a way that was both informative and incredibly interesting. We learned so much about the architecture, the daily life, and the significant role the rancho played in the development of the area. Laura answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm, making everyone feel welcome and included. The house itself is beautifully preserved, and the gardens are a tranquil oasis. Exploring them with Laura's expert commentary added so many layers to the experience that we would have completely missed exploring on our own. This is more than just a historical site; it's a living story, and Laura is a brilliant storyteller. We left feeling enriched and inspired, with a deep appreciation for this historical treasure right here in Long Beach. Thank you, Laura, and thank you, Rancho Los Cerritos, for a truly five-star experience! We can't wait to visit again.
