Things To Do
Ventura Pier and Beach
The pier was originally built in 1872, making it one of California’s oldest wooden piers. It now features a snack bar, benches, restrooms, a full-service seafood restaurant with a gift shop and spectacular views of the Channel Islands, coastline and mountains.
Downtown Ventura
Ventura’s Historic Downtown Cultural District is permeated by early California history. Historic homes, museums, boutiques, Mission San Buenaventura, antique shops and restaurants adorn our palm tree-lined streets. Things are also continually changing in this historic district. Recent street closures make for a lovely walkable downtown to new shops, restaurants, art galleries, and live music venues.
Ventura Harbor
The Ventura Harbor Village is a vibrant, seaside attraction boasting 35 seaside boutiques, art galleries, and waterfront restaurants, plus entertainment venues, events, harbor boat tours, rentals, and more! Situated between the boats and the beach, Ventura Harbor Village is home to the Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center and is one of the largest offloading harbors for squid.
Museum of Ventura County
Admission is Free for 2022 and the museum is very kid friendly! The Museum of Ventura County celebrates, preserves and interprets the art, history and culture of Ventura County, its collections, exhibitions, and events, and serves as a gathering place for the community.
Grant Park
Grant Park sits above Ventura (just above City Hall). One of the finest panoramic seascape sunset views in the world. Below you the buildings, the Pacific, broken only by the rise of Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands.
