Orcutt Ranch

Valley denizens need not travel through horrendous 405 traffic to see beautiful landmarks. Some of the features include a cute gazebo, a sundial, nature trails, and unique flora. In July the ranch opens its orchards to the public allowing visitors to pick oranges and grapefruit for a small fee. The ranch was established in 1903 and is easily accessible as well as conveniently open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM while the horticultural center is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 9 to 3 and Sunday from 9 to 4.
