15 Best Things To Do in Palmdale, California

About Palmdale, California


Not as big as many other California cities, Palmdale is still a visit-worthy place, owing to its stunning desert scenery and San Gabriel Mountains. Apart from the scenery, the city is also famed for being the manufacturing place for most US Air Force’s aircraft.

Visitors can see some of the planes on display at the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark, which has some planes from the second world war too. Meanwhile, the Palmdale Amphitheater has had regular performances since 2005, and the audiences can even bring their own blankets.

As for food, the local vendors are a short walk away.

If you’re in Palmdale in August, make sure to attend one of the many family movie nights when you can catch some hits like Harry Potter, Despicable Me, and Finding Nemo.
