While in Chino, you’ll want to visit Chino Hills State Park. There are both bike trails and horse trails. You can camp there, go for a hike, or share a picnic with family and friends.

If you enjoy airplanes, plan a visit to The Air Museum, Planes of Fame. The Air Museum displays aircraft spanning the history of manned flight, from a replica of the Chanute Hang Glider of 1896, through modern space flight, and includes numerous milestone achieving test and research flight vehicles.

The Yanks Air Museum is also located in Chino. The focus at Yanks is American Aviation, from Jennies to Jets.

A scrapbook of the photos taken at the two air museums could be a lot of fun to create. Ask the owners of Chino Scrapbook Company about patterned paper and stickers for your album.
