旅行者建议

省钱小贴士

Discounts to military/EMS/healthcare workers

The town is very patriotic and honors service to community and country. Most establishments (retail, rentals, shops, restaurants, services) offer a 10-15% discount to military, vets, police, and healthcare workers. Don't hesitate to ask if you qualify!
出行

No rideshare services available

Rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc) is basically non-existent in Big Bear. Many places offer food delivery, although it's it as common as a major city.
出行

Big Bear Trolley

Big Bear Trolley provides a great, affordable way to bounce around between many of the most popular destinations in town.
