San Bernardino County is pleased to announce the expansion of its Opportunity campaign at the Ontario International Airport. The expansion includes two static wall wraps that are now live in Terminal 2, reaching millions of travelers with captivating visuals of our county’s top destinations.
Some of the featured destinations include Calico Ghost Town, Big Bear Alpine Zoo, the County Museum and Regional Parks.
Calico Ghost Town is a historical site that was once a bustling silver mining town between 1881 and 1907. After silver lost its value, Calico became a ghost town. Today, Calico Ghost Town is a tourist destination that offers its visitors a glimpse into the Old West with mine tours, the old schoolhouse and saloon, museums, a train ride and more. Calico also features gift shops, restaurants, camping, off-roading and hiking and biking trails.

Located in Big Bear, the zoo provides a home for a variety of animals including bears, mountain lions, wolves, birds, raccoons and more.
