Topa Topa Brewing Co.

La Super-Rica Taqueria

La Super-Rica is by far Santa Barbara’s most famous restaurant. People still flock to the aqua building with covered patio for Mexican comfort food and thick, pressed-to-order corn tortillas that made Julia Child a regular.

McConnell's Fine Ice Creams - Santa Barbara

We love good ice cream and McConnell’s is a must! The company’s made some of the country’s best ice cream since 1949. Some of their best flavors include sweet cream, double peanut butter chip, and black coffee made with Guittard chocolate and California cold brew.

Carrillo Bike Path

For those that want to stay active over the weekend, we recommend that you rent bicycles from your hotel or a local shop and take a spin on the Carrillo Bike Path. This ride offers views of the mountains and the ocean, framed by palm trees.

Beach Cruiser Rentals

State Street

Historic State Street Plaza in Downtown Santa Barbara is a favorite to visit while in town. From Santa Barbara-style specialty shops to national brands, and from regional gallery favorites to indie boutiques, Downtown Santa Barbara offers an authentic shopping experience, whether you are seriously shopping, strolling, or just taking in the scene.

Santa Barbara Zoo

This zoo with a view was once a posh estate owned by a coffee and tea merchant; now it's the lush domain of more than 500 animals representing 160 species.

Cold Spring Tavern

Nestled in the foggy hills above Santa Barbara is Cold Spring Tavern, a 132-year-old former stagecoach stop that’s brimming with history and grilled tri-tip on the weekends.
