Begin your Banning Family Vacation with a visit to the Banning Museum, topping the list of Banning Things-To-Do. Home of the town’s founding father, Phineas Banning, kids of all ages enjoy touring the mansion, decorated with the original furnishings. A special treat for elementary students is the popular “School Program,” tailored especially for 4th graders.

We insist a visit to The Joshua Tree National Park is a must for outdoor enthusiasts, romantic couples seeking seclusion, and adventure-bound families. Hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and picnicking highlight the many activities at Joshua Tree. Nine budget-friendly campgrounds are available within Joshua Tree. We recommend a stop at Key Ranch, listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks.

For couples, we recommend The Casa Cody Bed & Breakfast Inn’s Historic Adobe Home (Charlie Chaplin played here!) for the ultimate seclusion and a romantic getaway. The Casa Cody is pet-friendly and kid-friendly, with the newly added Winters House providing reasonable lodging rates.
