Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near California

While in California, you might enjoy a visit to:

Drive through a pair of giant doughnuts.
~40 miles from Loma Linda.

In the museum, see the telephone Nixon used to call astronauts on the moon, and the helicopter he used to fly away from the presidency in disgrace. Also: the actual house in which he was born, a replica of the home office where he suffered the stroke that killed him, and his grave, along with that of First Lady Pat Nixon.
~34 miles from Loma Linda.

Denny's chain restaurant that opened in the late 1990s features a non-operational Dutch-style windmill above its ruffle collar roof. The windmill is an artifact from an earlier tenant where it made a little more sense -- a Van de Kamp Bakery.
~45 miles from Loma Linda.

A children's playground populated by sculptures of sea creatures.
~49 miles from Loma Linda.
