RANGO (rated PG) is an animated movie about a chameleon (Johnny Depp) who has lived as a sheltered family pet but suddenly finds himself in the grips of an identity crisis. He accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West that is in desperate need of a new sheriff. Rango wonders how to stand out when it is in his nature to blend in. This event is free, but donations are appreciated. Proceeds benefit the Rancho's educational mission. RANGO - A Family Movie Night at the Rancho is sponsored by the Port of Long Beach, the Port of Choice! Rancho Los Alamitos, the “Ranch of the Little Cottonwoods,” is a Long Beach City Landmark and is twice listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Rancho has a continuous history that stretches back for more than 1500 years and reflects the many people who have called it home – from the first people, the Tongva native American people, to the farmers of the mid-twentieth century. The 7½-acre site includes four acres of nationally significant historic gardens, a ranch house (1790-1933) with a core of adobe, and restored barnyard of the early 20th-century working ranch. Children and adults alike are enlightened and delighted when touring the ranch house and interpretive center, communing with nature in the lush gardens and visiting with the farm animals (horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits) housed in the barns area. The Rancho is open to the public from Wednesday-Sunday, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. (Guests enter at the Bixby Hill residential security gate at Anaheim and Palo Verde.) Guided tours of the Ranch house and Barns Area start every 30 minutes from the Rancho Center with the last tour beginning at 4:00 pm. Visitors may tour the gardens with a docent or opt for a self-guided tour. Admission and parking are free.
