We are visiting friends in Newport Beach, and this was a great short trip today, wit a little history thrown in. For example, I wasn't aware that the Mission had been involved in a war, which resulted in it being in private hands for a while! It took a proclamation from President Lincoln just a month before he died, to return ownership to the Catholic Church! The price of admission includes a "free" audio accompaniment, and a visit to the oldest Catholic Church still standing in California. Make the trip! You can see it all in 2 or 3 hours.

We went here, looming for something neat to see on the way back from the beach. Very impressive to see, and a bargain.

Wonderful way to bring history into the present. Have been many times but will always go back again. Beautiful area and downtown is fun too!!

We visited the mission seventeen years ago. It was interesting then, but now the restorations and improvements make this a truly great destination. The Old Stone church was covered with scaffoldings before, but now is completely accessible. The audio stations are very well done, informative but not too detailed. $16 for seniors includes the audio tour. Great bargain.

Part of California history, the mission has free audio pointing our the various sights within the mission. It is very interesting and a must see if you are in San Juan Capistrano. Easily accessible from the I-5 freeway.

Being there is like traveling in time. The buildings are well preserved and they keep their original style and beauty. It is like if time froze and you can take advantage of that and walk through the halls and see the rooms and take pictures of your trip in time. The mission has some kind of mystic presence when you arrive and all these questions trigger your mind and your imagination. It is a great stop for all ages and you can take your time and spend some hours there. If you like taking pictures, it is a great spot for it. Take sun block!

Once every year or two we do a day trip to San Juan Capistrano via Amtrak. It's a lot of fun for one day :) It is a must do for us to visit Mission SJC. It has 10 acres of gardens, fountains and structures. During the times we visited.. I found the entire area and property to be peaceful and relaxing, I enjoy checking out the flowers too. A great place to take photos as well. I look forward to this day trip each time I go!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Mission. I always enjoy learning about how these missions were self sustained communities. They grew and prepared all of their own food, fashioned their tools, clothes and needs; and celebrated life together as a unified community. The chapel is beautiful and the history behind the church ruins is sad. There is also the story about the returning swallows each year and how the entire town celebrates their arrival. I have visited a few Missions throughout California, but thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone who will be in the area.

We visited this location as part of a conference group with a tour guide. The grounds are beautiful, and the tour was interesting, although he probably had to limit the information due to having only an hour to introduce the area to us. Admission to the site includes an optional free audio tour as well, and I suspect that listening to the entire audio tour would probably take at least a couple of hours. Having a short attention span, I stopped listening after the fifth stop, and I know that there were at least 50-60 stops.
