This is a beautiful memorial. It has a nice park next to it so you can have a lunch and honor our Vets

Many screens, good sounds, high-tech viewing options if you want to pay up for them, clean, no higher priced than others in this area (given you will pay insanely, absurdly high prices for concessions no matter what theater you go to anymore). $7 Tuesdays...all shows all day. Nice points club adds up quickly for free movies and concessions. Love the VIP room, 21+ year olds only, alcohol served, very comfortable seats. Went last night, sat between two very large people but was never bothered due to large seats with plenty of elbow room. Good place to see a flick!

This lake is located in town, and what a treat it is to have such a great place to stroll, run, or ride your bike surrounded by calming water. The entire walk around the lake is about a mile - but, it’s so relaxing you won’t even notice how far you’ve walked.

Come by here once a year on way to San Luis Obispo. The Zoo is always changing and improving. They have a new Red Panda exhibit and the Prehensile Porcupines have a new out of cage habitat.

We went to the Sunken Gardens area, which is by the historic City Hall of Atascadero We returned at night as the historic city hall is beautiful to see at night. We spoke to some others who were also there to photograph the building.
