Let me be the first to welcome you to Bakersfield and Kern County! I think it's great that you are dong your research before traveling. The Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield is in a very safe area on the North end of Bakersfield. Taxi, Uber, and car rental is available. Bakersfield is a very safe community, especially in "attraction" areas like the Kern County Museum. You will find a calendar of events and a digital copy of our visitor guide by searching Visit Kern. Enjoy your visit!
