My co-worker is looking for fun things to do in the Covina or Rancho Cucamongo area. Suggestions (other than go somewhere else)?

Well, the huge renaissance faire is going on right now in Irwindale, which is somewhat close.

My co-worker is looking for fun things to do in the Covina or Rancho Cucamongo area. Suggestions (other than go somewhere else)?Covina and Rancho Cucamonga? Those cities are like 20-25 miles apart!
I have lived in RC and San Dimas (which is right next to Covina).
In RC, they just opened a huge mall (Victoria Gardens (http://www.victoriagardensie.com/)) and there is also the Ontario Mills Mall (http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=1258) a couple of miles south of that (a single lap around the Mills is exactly one mile). The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (http://www.rcquakes.com/) (Single A Minor League for the Angels) play at the Epicenter (the name of their ballpark). A very nice ballpark that isn't that old. Also, they can go hiking up in Lytle Creek (http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardino/contact/lytlecreek.shtml) (a short drive up the 15) or Mt Baldy (http://www.shopbaldy.com/) (above Upland). You can also visit our old condo (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=7635+Haven+Ave,+Rancho+Cucamonga,+CA+91730,+USA&sll=34.117654,-117.576004&sspn=0.006475,0.008433&ie=UTF8&ll=34.116441,-117.57578&spn=0.006475,0.008433&t=h&z=17).
In San Dimas/Covina, Pasadena is a 1/2 hour drive away. If they still have the Farmer's Market in San Dimas, it was a good one when we lived there 8 years ago. Also, in San Dimas The Train Stop (http://www.trainstop.com/) is a cool model railroad store (if they are into that). I think there is some good hiking in San Dimas Canyon (http://www.sandimascanyon.com/), but I have never been there. You can also get to Mt. Baldy from here. We used to live here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=205+w+second+st,+san+dimas,+CA+91730,+USA&sll=34.116441,-117.57578&sspn=0.006475,0.008433&ie=UTF8&ll=34.108697,-117.809476&spn=0.003238,0.004216&t=h&z=18).
If I think of something else, I will add it

Thanks. I'll pass it on. No idea why he was asking.
