California is making a name for itself as one of the best travel destinations during the summer season. More specifically, Santa Barbara continues to provide spectacular entertainment for families of all ages year after year. Here are some of the best Santa Barbara outdoor activities your family can enjoy this season:
There is nothing quite like picking your own berries from an organic farm. You can do just that by visiting Restoration Oaks located just north of Santa Barbara. This local berry farm produces some of the freshest berries in the area, all without any chemicals. Simply visit the berry farm and pick as many berries as you can for a sweet treat to enjoy all vacation long!
Each year some of the biggest names in music descend upon Santa Barbara for incredible shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl. This music hall has been going strong since they opened their doors in 1936 with over 35 shows a year. This summer, several bands your teenage kids might know will be playing, including The Head and the Heart, Fitz & the Tantrums, Florence & the Machine, and more! This is one of the most exciting Santa Barbara outdoor activities for tourists.
Get up close and personal with the exotic animals found at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Let your family hand-feed giraffes, observe endangered species such as the Asian elephant, and participate in kid-friendly activities. The climate in Santa Barbara makes a visit to the zoo enjoyable even during warmer summer months. Tickets into the zoo during the summer season can be as low as $18 per person, making it a budget-friendly activity for even bigger families to enjoy. If you have children, this will probably be one of their favorite Santa Barbara outdoor activities.
The Santa Barbara Harbor is the perfect place to splash off on warmer days and relax on the beach. More adventurous families can rent kayaks from local rental shops and explore the harbor in person. You can also participate in one of the many private tours offering several routes and views of all the spectacular sites you need to experience.
