A trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo will be one full of action and lot of fun. Children especially will love the original Dentzel Carousel and the zoo train. You can also feed the animals with food specially made for them that is available in the zoo itself. If all that action makes you hungry, there's The Ridley-Tree House Restaurant, serving grilled dishes, sandwiches and salads.
Stop by for some wine tasting! We stumbled on this place on one of our adventures and really enjoyed the experience. They have a wine club that delivers wine from all over the Santa Ynez valley and we were never disappointed with our selections.
