Discover Corona from several perspectives: its offerings range from local history and culture to zipline experiences and hiking. To plan your stay, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on each day, then factor in suitable dates and transport connections.

Local History and Culture in Corona

Corona Heritage Park and Museum includes four historic houses, several citrus packing houses, botanical gardens, a collection grove, and an entomology laboratory. As a permanent center, it is dedicated to the history, art, and culture of the local community. The Corona Heritage Museum collection comprises thousands of objects and artifacts. Together, these offer a range of cultural topics, from historic buildings and citrus processing to plants and insects.

Another historic landmark is the Corona Historic Civic Center: It originally opened in 1923 as Corona’s second high school. The Corona Model Railroad Society displays an HO-scale model railroad depicting Corona around 1949. The two dates refer to different things: the original opening of a school and the depiction of the city in a model.

The Fender® Museum of Music and the Arts also offers a specific planning option for groups: group tours in Corona are available by appointment. Be sure to arrange your group’s visit in advance.

Zipline Experience and Hiking Destination

Skull Canyon Zipline has four zipline courses. The experience takes you over mountainous terrain and offers views of Corona Lake and Cleveland National Forest. The number of courses and the scenery make this a different kind of outing from a visit focused on local history. Check the provider’s current visitor information before your trip.

Skyline is a publicly accessible hiking destination in Corona. The name Skyline Drive refers to something different: this unpaved road connects to the trail network in Cleveland National Forest. When planning, it helps to treat the hiking destination and the road connection as separate pieces of information, rather than assuming that the similar names refer to the same route.

Getting There, Getting Around, and Places to Stay

Corona Cruiser bus routes connect with Riverside Transit Agency routes, the North Main Metrolink commuter rail station, and park-and-ride lots. When planning your arrival or travel during your stay, check the schedules for the relevant connections. This lets you factor in the connection points mentioned without assuming a particular route or travel time.

When choosing a hotel in Corona, you can first consider whether you want to focus your days on cultural attractions, a group visit by appointment, or outdoor activities. Check each hotel’s location, amenities, and current availability directly in its listing.
