About this place

For visitors, Ontario serves as a convenient base with a large shopping mall and easy freeway access to destinations across the Southland.

Planning Tips
- Fly into Ontario Airport — for a less hectic alternative to LAX, check flights into ONT; terminals 2 and 4 handle all commercial service, and a free shuttle connects to the consolidated car rental center.
- Rent a car — a private vehicle is the most practical way to explore Ontario and reach farther-flung destinations like Joshua Tree National Park; reserve ahead online for the best rates.
- Use Metrolink for LA trips — Ontario–East station offers weekday train service to downtown Los Angeles via the Riverside Line, providing a direct transit option for car-free day trips into the city.
