Students like Johnathan Blake, 22, a communications major, is staying on campus over break.

“I don’t really have any plans, I haven’t thought that far ahead to be honest,” said Blake.

For those who are staying around campus or live in the Fullerton area, there’s plenty to do that can appease boredom and the most of your days off.

For beer lovers, check out the The Bootlegger Brewery in Fullerton. It’s open to the public Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and offers numerous types of beer that can satisfy any palate, and you won’t spend a lot of money going.

“We sell pints, half-pints and bottles to go,” said Aaron Barkenhagen, an employee at The Bootlegger. “We also have gourmet food trucks that come during the weekend, serving anything from barbecue to Mexican food.”

The Bootlegger also offers group tours to people who are more curious in how the brewing process works, as well as tasting the newest upcoming beers before they hit shelves.

The tasting room sits right in the middle of the brewery floor, which gives patrons the opportunity to see how each beer is brewed, start to finish.

A favorite beer among workers and locals is the Old World Hefeweizen, which is an unfiltered wheat beer that’s handcrafted using only pure imported Hallertauer German hops.

Downtown Fullerton is always an interesting area to investigate. The Olde Ship Bar and Restaurant is a throwback to the old days in England.

Decorated like a 19th century English fishing ship, the Olde Ship Bar and Restaurant provides entertainment, drinks, and premiere league soccer games from across the pond every weekend.

The food has been described as excellent and the beer even better at this popular tavern.

For a quieter scene filled with culture and art, the Fullerton Museum Center offers many diverse exhibits with both cultural and historical significance.

First opened in 1974, the Fullerton Museum Center features new exhibits every month. The exhibits present and explain how each are significant to the city of Fullerton and California.

Right now, the Nicholas Murry Photography exhibit is currently open at the museum. This exhibit is showcasing beautiful pictures of Murry’s time in Mexico in 1931, each representing a different time in history.

For those who love the outdoors and staying in shape, try taking a hike on the Fullerton Panorama Trail, which is a 2.8-mile, round-trip hike providing excellent scenic views of the city of Fullerton and north Orange County.

The trail itself is maintained by the city, is easy to walk, and takes an average of about two hours to complete.

“I know there are a lot of things to do in Fullerton, I just haven’t had the time to check it out,” said Nathan Freeman, a radio-TV-film major. “The Thanksgiving break seems like a good time to start looking.”

Keeping things local and cheap is always a good idea. There are plenty of places to discover in Fullerton that can provide excitement, exercise and fun.
