Explore Santa Barbara’s Top Family Attractions
Santa Barbara is packed with family-friendly destinations, and a private bus makes it easy to visit them all. Spend a day at the Santa Barbara Zoo, where kids can feed giraffes and ride the miniature train, or head to MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, for hands-on science exhibits. Take a stroll down Stearns Wharf for ice cream and ocean views, or pack a picnic for Shoreline Park.
If your group loves the outdoors, plan a hike in the Santa Ynez Mountains, a bike ride along Cabrillo Boulevard, or a beach day at Arroyo Burro (Hendry’s Beach). Wine-loving parents can book a tasting tour in the Santa Ynez Valley while the kids watch movies on the bus. Whatever’s on your itinerary, your driver will get you there safely and on time.
Day Trips and Excursions Made Easy
Want to explore beyond Santa Barbara? With a private bus, you can easily take day trips to nearby destinations like Solvang, Los Olivos, or Ojai. Visit the Danish bakeries and windmills in Solvang, sample olive oil and wine in Los Olivos, or browse the art galleries and boutiques in downtown Ojai. For a bigger adventure, head south to Ventura Harbor Village or north to Pismo Beach and Dinosaur Caves Park.
Your bus will stay with you for the entire trip, so you can leave your belongings onboard, relax between stops, and stick to your own schedule. No need to worry about parking, directions, or designated drivers—just sit back and enjoy the ride.
