Unique Hidden Gems

This collection highlights unconventional landmarks and specialized boutiques across California. It features large-scale mosaic installations like the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps and the Venice Mosaic Tile House, alongside eccentric retail spaces such as Paxton Gate and Necromance. Visitors can discover niche art projects like the Peephole Cinema in San Francisco or the precarious Fallen Star at UC San Diego. The list also includes the stone labyrinth at Lands End and the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, one of only two facilities in the United States dedicated to alpine wildlife.
