Sun, culture, and nature in Fontana
Looking for a luxury lakeside cabin, a modern city retreat, or a family-sized townhouse? Then check out the wealth of Fontana vacation rentals on offer. Fontana is a mid-size palm-studded city based in San Bernardino County, California. It boasts a relaxed and folksy small-town atmosphere and offers a range of cultural attractions, from local artist exhibitions to theaters. Outdoor enthusiasts will fall for sunny Fontana, too – not only does the city have its own nature center, but it’s also based just a short drive from the lakes, mountains, and rivers of San Bernardino National Forest.
Architectural relics and Fontana Americana
Spend a morning ambling around the Mary Vagle Nature Center, a large green-washed park grouped around a shimmering pond, with sidewinding hiking trails, a reptile viewing area, and educational exhibits about environmentalism. Culture vultures can catch a show at the Center Stage Theater, an enormous Art Deco architectural marvel, which dates back to 1937. Lovers of kitsch Americana, meanwhile, can’t miss Bono’s Historic Orange, a giant orange-shaped kiosk just off Route 66. This quirky citrus stand dates back to 1936, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
Family-friendly fun and outdoor adventures in Fontana
Venture out of your peaceful Fontana vacation rental and visit the city’s activity-rich community centers. In summer, swing by the Don Day Neighborhood Center for a dip in the outdoor pool, or visit Fontana Park, with its sports pavilion, spacious kids’ play areas, and Aquatics Center. Fontana also offers a selection of 18-hole golf courses, with unbeatable views over the copper-colored foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. If true wilderness is more to your taste, visit the San Bernardino National Forest, where you can hike under its shady pines and swim in glistening hot springs.
Fontana celebrates year-round sunshine
Sun worshippers will feel right at home in Fontana – the city enjoys year-round sunshine, and very rarely experiences extended periods of rainfall. For perfectly warm and enjoyable temperatures, travel in the early spring or late fall months – April and November – when the daytime temperature surfs around the mid-70s. This time of year is perfect for exploring San Bernardino National Forest. The height of summer welcomes temperatures in the 90s, and often in the low 100s. So if you do travel in summer, make sure your Fontana vacation rental has air conditioning – and a pool!
