Old Town Newhall is Santa Clarita's historic district. Here you'll find some good bars and restaurants. Be sure to check out 8th & Rail, Newhall Refinery, Smokehouse, and Old Town Junction.
The Patios is a good place to find a variety of food and beverage options. It's relatively close to the hotel locations. We like Lazy Dog, Bunker Hill, and Lucille's.
Saugus Cafe is Kyle's favorite breakfast place. It reminds him of his grandfather, Delmar, who loved a good cafe. Also, Saugus Cafe has been in operation for over 130 years and is the oldest restaurant in LA county -- Teddy Roosevelt ate here (history things!)
Towsley Canyon is a peaceful local park with a charming creek known for its hiking trails, gorge, and scenic views. There are multiple trail options, the longest spanning 5 miles. At the peak, you'll see the BEST view of Santa Clarita.
Magic Mountain is the Santa Clarita landmark that everyone knows. It also served as the filming location for Wally World in Vacation! 262 acres of theme park fun. Check out the roller coasters, sure... but definitely don't leave without getting a funnel cake.
