Things to do in Beaumont

Parks & Hiking

Noble Creek Regional Park

Beaumont's big sprawling park off Oak Valley Parkway, with playgrounds, shaded picnic ramadas, walking paths and the youth ball fields where half the town's kids play on weekends. Bring a ball and a picnic; the grassy open areas are perfect for little ones to run off energy. It also hosts community events like Spring Fling — check the rec district calendar before you go.

Free (day use)

Parks & Hiking

Bogart Regional Park

Just up in Cherry Valley, Bogart is the more rugged, foothill park with real hiking, biking and horse trails climbing toward the hills above town. Kids love the easy creekside loops and the lookout hike when it's not too hot. Go in the cooler morning hours, pack water, and bring cash for the entrance booth.

$10 per vehicle day use

Museums & Learning

Beaumont Library District

The charming downtown library on E 8th Street is a reliable rainy-day or beat-the-heat stop with a dedicated kids' area and regular story times. It's an independent district library, so check their online calendar for children's programs before you head over. Easy free parking and a quick walk to old-town Beaumont.

Museums & Learning

Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens

Tucked in Cherry Valley, this small decorative-arts museum is surrounded by lovely landscaped gardens kids can wander while you take in the collection. The grounds are the real draw for families — great for a slow stroll and photos. It's only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan around that, and the last tour starts at 4:15.

$10 adults, $5 youth 5–12, under 5 free

Museums & Learning

Cabazon Dinosaurs

About 15 minutes east off the I-10, the giant roadside Dinny and Mr. Rex are a guaranteed kid hit and an Inland Empire icon. Snap photos of the big dinosaurs free from the parking lot, or pay to go inside with the smaller animatronic dinos and a dino-dig area. A great quick stop on the way to or from Palm Springs.

$15 adults, $13 kids, under 3 free (outside photos free)

Parks & Hiking

Riley's Farm (Oak Glen)

Up the hill in Oak Glen apple country, Riley's is a working orchard and living-history farm where kids can pick apples in fall, press cider and meet farm animals. The classic autumn family outing for Pass-area families, with cooler mountain air a bonus. Open Thursday through Saturday, and fall apple-picking weekends get busy, so arrive early.

Varies (U-pick priced by fruit/season)
