Located just west of San Bernardino this California desert city provides evening entertainment, western-cuisine and culture for all. Fontana is also ideal for outdoor types, as it’s packed with green spaces, with the Angles National Forest sitting right on Fontana’s doorsteps.

Things to do

Perfect for families and couples alike, Fiesta Park is an inviting green area in the city centre. Take a romantic stroll around the park or let the little ones run wild and free in the playground before enjoying a picnic on the grass.

Enjoy fine dining and evening entertainment? Look no further than the Centre Stage Theatre, home to Broadway style shows, cabaret evenings and touring artists this little theatrical hub provides a romantic evening out.

While in Fontana you can support the local art scene by visiting the city hall which runs an “Artist Showcase”. The showcase exhibits lots of local artwork and changes its displays every three months.

If you like to fit in a workout while you’re away, then head to the Smoke Stack Trail to jog or bike the desert tracks. Alternatively, the trail is a great place to take a scenic walk if you’re not a jogger.

Getting around

Fontana sits 20-minutes to the west of San Bernardino and is accessible via taxis, buses or car hire. The city itself is mostly walkable though public transport and taxis are also available.
