Staff was friendly when purchasing tickets and gifts from the shop. Took my family about 1hr 45 mins to look at everything. We took our time and read so much information and even stayed till 12pm foe the bells to ring. Bought a mission passport because my kids bucket list is to visit every mission in California. Worth the visit.

I've attended the 12pm mass here 3 times now and I love it. The Mission choir is spectacular. This is the second Mission I've visited, it's quite smaller than the one in San Juan Capistrano but still very pretty.

We visited Mission Basilica and it was a good place to stop and get a sense of the history and the church architecture. It is peaceful and worth a short visit, but the site is not very big and there is not too much to see inside, so you do not need a lot of time there.

Beautiful Mission, very clean. It is very interesting to learn the history behind this mission. Loved what was at the gift shop such as rosaries, prayer books, saint prayers and crosses. Nice cashiers!

Went to Sunday morning mass here. I felt welcome and enjoyed the service and the priest very much. A taste of history I hadn’t prepared for when I visited San Diego. Must visit for every east coast Catholic!

Another superb example of California life in the 1700s. Beautiful grounds, architecture, and a church built in 1931 to replace four earlier ones. The most interesting attraction is the excellent free museum in the back, off the central garden, with lots of detailed information, maps, and artifacts. There is also a typical gift shop with all the requisite trapping and trinkets.
