Activities & Family Fun

Spending time as a family is important. Pick a different activity each week and take advantage of all the great things we have available in Santa Barbara. If you want to get a great overview of all there is to do in Santa Clara County, go to our Tourists & Newcomers Overview

Spend time in nature hiking or at one of our many parks. Take a horseback ride or visit the zoo. Cool off in the wading pools or take walks on the beach. Introduce your children to one of our museums and study art or history.

Link to the current movie showtimes or buy season tickets to the theatre. There are some fun plays for kids offered throughout the year. Dates will be on the event calendar. For quieter days, storytime at the libraries or bookstores can be fun.
