The historic San Juan Capistrano Mission is the highlight of the town (& where we'll be taking our wedding photos!) It's located directly across from the Inn at the Mission hotel & is a must see while your here!
The Los Rios Historic District is the oldest neighborhood in the state of California. There are over forty homes there including three original adobe structures which housed mission ranch workers and the builders of the mission in the late 1700s. Grab a latte at Hidden House coffee shop and stroll the old railroad tracks!
Completed in 1986, this is the home of the local parish and where Masses take place. There are no tours available and little signage, but you are able to enter the church to appreciate both the art and architecture.
Located in the Los Rios Historic District, the O’Neill Museum was formerly the residence of Jose Garcia and was built between 1870 and 1880. The home has been painstakingly restored and decorated to allow visitors a glimpse of life in the late 19th century.
Tend to your inner child and visit the animals at Zoomars Petting Zoo! Located just across the railroad tracks, visitors can expect to see, and feed, a variety of animals ranging from ponies to ostriches.
