A quick drive to Ontario for a little retail therapy is a time-honored Los Angeles tradition. As an added bonus, it will give you a chance to cruise on that iconic roadway, Route 66, and to find travel inspiration at the California Welcome Center. With over 300 days of sunshine each year and a pleasantly temperate, Ontario possesses a SoCal spirit mixed with a friendly small-town attitude. The culinary scene is on point too: From Indian to Thai to Mexican to Caribbean, Ontario has something for everyone’s palate.
