Comment on Santa Barbara Zoo by Lily

Oh I love bringing my kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo and they love it as well! So much for them to get into and as a parent who was brought to this exact zoo when I was child, it is a lot of fun watching them enjoy the same things I did! I love that this zoo is also located a block away from the beach so on a hot day, it is nice to be able to just walk to the beach and enjoy some more playing there as well! We come to the zoo every time were in town and it never gets old. We love staying at the South Coast Inn (www.santa-barbara-hotel.com). Nicer then most hotels in the area and very elegant as well.

Another fantastic family-friendly campground in the redwoods is Memorial Park, part of the San Mateo County Parks & Rec Department. Beautiful, spacious campsites, swimming home, giant trees and ice cream cones at the little camp store. What more could you want in a weekend in the woods?

I love the Santa Barbara Zoo! Such a fun time and the perfect place to relax ( that big grassy lawn! by the giraffes). The train that goes through the park is great too, the kids love it (as you may know!) I try and make it there whenever I am in town, the kids actually look forward to it. I travel to Santa Barbara often and I love that there is so much to do! I always stay at the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So affordable and very quaint and cozy. A very enjoyable place to stay.

Funny, we were just here today, although we opted for gold panning and playing in the American river instead of seeking out the actual discovery site. Overall it made for an excellent day with the cousins! Hope to return and do some river rafting and more serious plaque reading when the kids are a bit older.

Comment on Some Notes on Happy Hollow Park and Zoo by Lesley

I have visited Happy Hollow twice in the last 6 weeks with my 4.5 yr old daughter and though I am NOT an amusement park kind of gal, I thought it was a great experience. I was particularly happy to see there was one admission fee –and thats it. (no single ticket purchase per ride.) The food/candy/tempting junk was admirably out of sight and both times the crowds were completely tolerable. I arrived at 10am for both visits and left by 1:30 by which time, things were really getting busy. Good time to leave. Pack a picnic and arrive early. The carousel and the huge play structure were the biggest hits w my little one.

Go Giants! One of the things my boys miss about living in Europe is baseball. Cute pics!
