"Great experience. The museum is well done. It was interesting to see the history of McDonald's. The happy meal toys through the years and from other countries were fascinating. The outside playground items brought back fond memories. The man working there was so friendly and nice. Highly recommended."

"This museum was such a pleasant surprise. It’s absolutely free, which is amazing considering how much history is packed inside. You truly feel like you’re diving into the past from the moment you walk in. The collection of memorabilia is incredible, and the atmosphere is just super nostalgic. It’s a must-visit for anyone who wants to see where it all began! We visited on the weekend and were happy to find plenty of free parking available. The atmosphere is super nostalgic and the place is very well-maintained. It’s a must-stop in San Bernardino for a quick and fascinating trip down memory lane!"

"The museum was really cute and there was not only free entrance but also they gave us free pamphlets on the history of McDonald's. It also seemed as though you could donate a happy meal toy or box to the museum and they will take your picture to display in the museum next to the item you donated."

"This was a really cool nostalgic place. Some of the things inside definitely reminded me of my childhood and the guy at the front was very knowledgeable about the history of McDonalds."

"This is an incredible slice of contemporary history — given the primacy of McDonald's in the modern QSR scene and the way it has revolutionized the industry, it is no longer just a margin of modern history. Incredible props to Albert Okura for preserving this and making it available to view and enjoy for free."
