Filling free hours is easy if there’s a corporate stay around San Bernardino. The town is part of a string of burbs along Foothill Blvd between the San Bernardino mountains and Riverside. 
Plenty of shopping and dining are nearby, and most entertainment and unique activities require a car. Here are ten activities we recommend for the area:
San Manual Stadium: Enjoy a good baseball game? Sports fans can watch a local 66ers game with a classic hotdog and coke to cool off.
San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum: Train buffs can wander the museum and get up close to trains from days gone by. Find out the town’s connection to Wyatt Earp and learn about scrappy pioneer women.
Downtown Claremont Village: https://discoverclaremont.com/attraction/claremont-village/museum Claremont Village offers several walkable streets of shopping, theaters, and dining. Visitors staying at the enclave at Rancho Cucamonga (https://www.keyhousing.com/corporate-rental-properties/enclave-at-homecoming-terra-vista/) can make a short drive down Foothill Blvd. towards Claremont’s central downtown.
Riverside Art Museum: Enjoy architecture and art in the historic Mission Inn District. The museum is housed in the former YWCA building designed by Julia Morgan, the award-winning architect of Hearst Castle.
Running Springs Farmers Market and Artisan Fair: Drive into the nearby San Bernardino Hills and pack a bag with fresh homemade bread, local fruits and vegetables, and meats. Wander the booths of local artists and makers too. https://www.runningspringschamber.com/
Biking Trials in the San Bernardino Forest: Different trails accommodate cycling, mountain biking, and electric bikes. To review a complete list of nearby bike trails, go to: https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/sbnf/recreation/bicycling/?recid=26225&actid=24
Original McDonalds Museum: If you love the fast-food icon and wonder about the days when burgers were 15 cents, visit the first McDonald’s location that is now a cute little museum: https://www.route66ca.org/original-mcdonalds-site-museum/
Fairmount Park: Take a picnic, duck food, and sit by the Fairmount Park pond. It’s a calming spot to decompress and feed the ducks.
Fox Performing Arts Center: Various entertainment is on the calendar, from comedy to dance and educational discussions. https://www.livenation.com/venue/KovZpZAEA6lA/fox-performing-arts-center-events. Corporate visitors staying at Dwell Apartment Homes (https://www.keyhousing.com/corporate-rental-properties/dwell-apartment-homes/) can ride an Uber up the road to the venue.
March Field Air Museum: https://www.marchfield.org/. Get up close and personal to 80 historic aircrafts like WWII fighter planes and helicopters. Walk around jetfighters with names like F-101B Voodoo and the Starfighter. The museum is just a ten minute drive away for short-term stay executives at Stone Canyon Apartments.
It should be clear by now. A VIP on business alone or with family can find a variety of San Bernardino CA things to do after work!
