Funk Zone Patio
The Funk Zone is a unique Santa Barbara arts, culture, business, and industrial district between State Street and Garden Street, and Montecito Street to Cabrillo Boulevard. Over the years, many artists have found creative freedom by carving out studio spaces in this “funky” area of Santa Barbara, and so have wineries, restaurants, art galleries, and shops.
Old Mission Santa Barbara
Visitors can tour (self-guided) this historic Franciscan mission that features twin bell towers and lovely gardens. The church runs mass every Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
Self-Guided Bike Tours and Rentals
Located at Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, Wheel Fun Rentals outfits Santa Barbara with the largest selection of bike rentals, including specialty cycles, Surreys, cruiser bikes, and more. Guaranteed fun for the whole family! *If you are staying at the Hilton, you get two free bike rentals a day!
Santo Mezcal
Without a doubt, Mexican food is our favorite meal. When visiting Santa Barbara, Santo Mezcal is not a recommendation, it is a priority.
McConnells Ice Cream
After a meal at Santo Mezcal, head across the street to McConnell's for their uniquely flavored and seriously good ice cream. Our favorites: Churro con Leche, Banana Salted Caramel, and Eureka Lemon and Marionberries!
