Fall Break Plans: Whittier Weekend Ideas & Group Adventures at The Nixon
Fall in Southern California may not come with snow or fiery foliage, but it does bring cooler evenings, lively community events, and the perfect chance to slow down and recharge. For students on fall break or families planning a quick weekend getaway, Whittier offers the best mix of small-town charm and big adventures.
Here’s how to make the most of your fall weekends in Whittier — with plenty of room for fun, food, and unforgettable escape room challenges at The Nixon Escape.
