Let's go check out the Hall of Earth Sciences.
Let's go check out the...
Hello Bloggineers.
This is our Southern California day trip to Redlands and we are going to show you the fun things you can do here.
This enduring community is located at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains.
Our first stop is a San Bernardino County Museum.
[Brother] Choo choo!
This is the largest museum in the Inland Empire featuring exhibits and collections and cultural and natural history.
Brother spotted some Mastodon footprints.
[Brother] Aaarrrgh!!!
We're going to the second floor.
This section teaches you about minerals.
I'm going to perform a magic trick. Abracadabra.
These rocks glow-in-the-dark.
Brother is learning about recycling.
This is the largest geode I've ever seen.
This hall is all about animals.
We're listening to some birds chirping.
Brother is drawing his favorite animal: the cow.
Next, we're checking out the exhibit on animatronics.
[Brother[ That's the Back to the Future guy.
Great Scott, Brother! That's Mark Twain not Doc Brown!
We're going down to the level to learn about the history of Inland Southern California.
I'm diving into the tent to hide from Brother.
Lastly, we're playing with the giant maze.
We had so much fun at the San Bernardino County Museum.
Our next stop is the Historical Glass Museum.
Say hi to Cousin.
This museum features 4,300 pieces of American glass from the 1830's to the present.
This one here is my favorite because it looks nice.
[Brother] I like this one because that has a hat.
This one resembles a mushroom.
Lastly we're visiting the gift shop. Don't break anything, Brother.
Our next stop is Orange Street Alley.
This walkway features the multiple murals under colorful umbrellas that serves as a canopy.
Now we're getting some dessert at A La Minute Ice Cream.
This place makes small batches of ice cream using farm-fresh ingredients and liquid nitrogen.
They're making our ice cream in front of our eyes.
[Brother] I'm having the Cookie Monster. Woo.
Bother gives it his signature thumbs up.
And here comes the rest of our ice cream.
[I'm having the chocolate lavender ice cream.
[Cousin] I got chocolate orange. This is a combination of two of my favorite flavors.
We had a delicious time at A La Minute.
Our next up is the Lincoln Memorial Shrine.
This is the only museum west of the Mississippi dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War.
Founded by Robert Watchorn in 1932, this place showcases collections of manuscripts and artifacts.
I'm learning about the life of the 16th President.
There are many interesting items here including a Confederate $20 bill.
Is that cracker from the 1800s still edible?
Lastly we're playing with Morse code.
We had an educational time here.
Our next stop is the AK Smiley Public Library.
The 120 year old Moorish Revival style library founded by philanthropist twin brothers
has oak arches spanning the soaring ceilings and hand-carved gargoyles.
If you didn't tell what brother is trying to say, let us know in the comments below.
Our next up is Kimberly Crest House and Gardens.
We're going on a tour up this 7,000 square foot petite Chateau with pristine grounds
Unfortunately photography is not allowed in the mansion.
Our last stop is Open Door Escape Games.
We're playing a 30-minute escape room for kids called Pillow Palace.
First the staff is teaching us some rules and tips and then showing us how to open the locks.
They wished us luck and the game begins.
Let's go look for clues. Oh there's a piece of paper here.
We have to activate the portal.
Brother spotted a pile of blankets.
Cousin go hang the blanket up to the hook.
Come on guys, let's come into the portal.
Um, I don't think this is working.
Maybe we have to use all the blankets.
Hopefully we got it right this time.
Yes, we got it! The portal open and we're crawling through.
We're now in the second room and we have less than 25 minutes remaining.
Come on guys, let's search for more clues.
Cousin you look over there.
And Brother, you...
[Lamb King] Welcome boys and girls to my beautiful Pillow Palace.
[Lamb King] But I've summoned you here to help restore the Pillow Kingdom.
[Lamb King] Unfortunately, the pillow people are angry and trapped us in my throne room
[Lamb King] and have it locked away the three keys to true peace.
[Lamb King] Please find all three of the keys and put them in their locks and that Pillow Kingdom will be restored.
[Lamb King] But hurry, if you don't complete it in time, we'll be locked away in this palace forever.
We found a decoder and a bunch of letters.
Cousin thinks he had unscrambled the word.
[Lamb King] I think maybe you spelled that wrong. Maybe?
We have to hurry!
I can't get this to unlock!
[Cousin] Oh no! We're running out of time!
[Brother] Maybe we should ask for a clue.
[Lamb King] Did you notice the letters...on the pillows?
[Cousin] Hey, I opened a lock!
Ooh, a key!
And we solved the second puzzle.
One more to go.
[Cousin] This is a giant key.
We found all three keys now, we're gonna put it in the lock.
[Brother] I'm so scary.
Oh woah!
[Cousin] I got it. This is the key to the exit.
[Brother] Look, it's a Bible.
You're right. It is a Bible. How cool.
[Lamb King] Oh my. Well done, my faithful friends.
As a token of my gratitude, here's the key for you to return home.
That was a close one. We had less than four minutes left.
We had so much fun at Pillow Palace.
[Cousin] My favorite part was going through the portal.
[Brother] Me too.
We highly recommend you to check out Opened Door Escape Rooms.
