Things to Do in Ontario

From the moment you arrive, the sky's the limit: beaches, desert, mountains and even the magical Disneyland all lay within a hop, skip and a jump. But be sure to leave time to take advantage of the city's wide variety of entertainment options, too!

Retail Therapy

Shopaholics will definitely appreciate being in Ontario—the city can boast about having the biggest indoor outlet mall in the state, Ontario Mills. You can browse for treasures in over 200 stores spread out over 1.7 million square feet of retail space! Among the huge number of retailers are Disney, Nike, J. Crew, Nordstrom Rack, Saks Fifth Avenue and Coach. When the shopping light fades from your family's eyes, take a break at one of the eateries or theaters that are also located inside the mall.

Cucamonga Valley Wine Tours

Swirl, sniff, and sip—that's the order of the day when you tour Cucamonga Valley vineyards. Nestled in the east-west valley near Ontario, the viniculture here is justifiably proud of being the oldest in the state, and once spread over 35,000 acres. Some of the wineries and tasting rooms are located right in Ontario itself, such asthe San Antonio Winery and the Biane Winery. No matter which vineyards you visit, the vintners will be happy to teach you more than you already know about wine—and they will be generous in giving you free tastes of their delicious elixirs!
