Rancho Los Cerritos

This place is beautiful and had lots of history! The outdoor area is suitable for families with children. However, I don't recommend the house for children. During our visit, we encountered an issue at the visitors center. The staff member, who appeared to be a taller Caucasian woman, barged out and did not greet us. Instead, she angrily asked about our service dog, questioning whether it was a legitimate service animal, and asked if we had made a reservation. Her approach was somewhat condescending, and her tone lacked the warmth usually expected in hospitality settings. She asked that I check in inside the visitors center and followed me in, and then left when I signed in on the iPad. No other conversation was had. This interaction was not very welcoming. Despite this, the ranch is pleasant and offers a great experience. It's a great opportunity to else a little about the Bixbys and be in nature.

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...

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 100% recommend coming here, its beautiful and informative & haunted 👻, its got two levels to walk around the Adobe and lots of gardens with native plants here . Its got free parking and accessible parking , its got a library , gift shop , its near public bus transportation on san Antonio dr its a ways of a walk in but very still enjoyable looking around on the walk in . The volunteers here are awesome , its free to enter here due to the funders and volunteers , you can get free tickets on thier website or just walk in

Beautiful old historic rancho dating back to the mid-1800s, with free guided docent tours as well as self-guided tours. Entrance and parking are free. There are donation boxes, but that is optional. The surrounding lovely grounds make for a relaxing walk. It's tucked away behind a golf course in Long Beach and most people don't even know it's there. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Our docent guide, John, was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. It was a great way to spend a nice afternoon.
