With the passing of Prince this week, pop culture and music will never be the same. But, the sun is shining and tax season is officially done. There is no reason to stay held up indoors all weekend. If you didn't score a wristband for Coachella, there is still a ton going on in the OC. Here is the rundown of the places you should visit.

Fullerton Museum
301 N. Pomona Ave.

Coinciding with the full moon and new moon, the Fullerton Museum hosts guided tours through the city to visit particular spots that have some strange vibes, especially after dark. The tour starts and stops at the museum and guests get a better understanding of the city and it's ghostly visitors from the guides that walk them though. After the tour, the city's stretch of downtown shops and restaurants give you plenty to do to round out the night.
