Calico Ghost Town Regional Park is a restored 1880s mining town where visitors explore historic buildings, ride a narrow-gauge train, dine at the Calico House Restaurant, visit the Chinese Bath exhibit, and attend performances at the Silver Bowl outdoor stage. The park preserves the original silver-mining settlement abandoned in the mid-1890s, with Walter Knott's 1950s restoration maintaining five original structures alongside architecturally recreated buildings. Guests can tour the cemetery, woodworks shop, and water tower. The park suits history enthusiasts and families interested in Old West heritage who spend a few hours walking the grounds and viewing exhibits. Calico Ghost Town Regional Park is located in Yermo, California. An Annual Family Pass costs $50 and is valid for twelve months from purchase, excluding special events and holidays. Guests who camp, rent cabins, bunk houses, or mini bunkhouses receive free admission to the town. Current deal information is available at parks.sbcounty.gov.
