GOCAL

Welcome to Greater Ontario, the Gateway to Southern California! When it comes to the “pawfect” road trip for Fido and the family, the cities, historic downtowns, and mountain trails of Greater Ontario are a real treat.

There’s lots of pet-friendly hotels and restaurants to keep the entire family wagging for days. Experience an abundance of charming tree-lined neighborhoods, parks, and historic wineries. Shop with your fur baby in our flagship malls where retailers and restaurants will treat them to free belly rubs and bowls of refreshing water. Woof.
