"It is my first time at this place, which I never knew existed. The mission has a cool church and it was partially turned into an awesome museum. There is a decent size onsite free parking as well as free street parking"
"It’s a historical place so if you have someone from native town, you will love knowing about the region. There are some interesting stories about here. I had one of my friends who has been living here since very long and she gave me a guided tour to the town. 1) I saw the church and got to know that it is never closed since it was open 2) I saw the old original 101 fwy 3) the museum/ Botanical Garden 4) historic square architecture 5) a lot of dry fruits trees around 5) Red peppers tree And a lot. I actually loved know the history associated with it. Thank you to my friend and her husband for being kind and giving a lot of information about the town and the park."
"Well maintained state park that preserves the artifacts linked to the Mission San Juan Bautista. The entrance fee is $3 per person. Part of the exhibits were the horse carriages, a historic residence, an Adobe, Hotel Plaza. We did witness blacksmith and fur-trade demonstrations. Worth visiting!"
"Beautiful place to walk. It was chilly but my son's loves to hear the birds. No one was out so parking was pretty easy to find."
"One of my favorite places to go, you can walk and breathe clean air. Walking distance to restaurants."
