Santa Barbara Things to Do

Santa Barbara offers families lots of different things to do.  From beaches to zoos families are bound to find whatever they’re looking to try in Santa Barbara.  Of course this peninsula town is known for its beautiful beaches and any trip should allow for ample time to be spent lazing on the long stretches of white sand.  After a long day on the beach, cool off in the shady streets of Old Town Santa Barbara where your kids will enjoy a ride on the Trolley and ice cream from one of the numerous shops.  If the beach becomes boring, take some time to check out the Santa Barbara Zoo which is known for it’s views as well as it’s animals.  If your family enjoys sea life, stop by the Ty Warner Sea Center and experience their new shark exhibit.  For family fun in the evening consider a round of miniature golf at the Mountasia Family Fun Center or star gazing from the beaches further away from the city.
