Before you leave California, you must visit Santa Barbara to experience art and culture. Your kids will love the art and maritime museums. You can also take them for pier fishing at the harbor. You can also go to the zoo to see giraffes, gorillas, leopards, foxes, flamingoes, and other exciting animals.

Texas

When you think about Texas, you remember the cowboy movies you watched as a child. But this state can offer so much more. However, for the sake of history, we’ll talk about experiencing life as a real cowboy. The most favorable place for you and your family to learn about cowboys is Bandera. This small town has private ranches offering accommodation services. The owners of the ranches can give you a tour of their farm and have you and your kids saddled and ready to watch over cows. You’ll learn how to manage cows and prevent some from leaving the pack. If you have an adolescent daughter or son, this can be an excellent activity for them.

Next, take your kids to Dinosaur Valley State Park to see dinosaur footprints and track them. The footprints are believed to be from two species: Acrocanthosaurus and Sauroposeidon. The rangers will give you and your kids a brief history of these dinosaurs. They’ll show you bones of the remains found there. Then, they’ll provide you with instructions on how to conduct yourselves during the tracking exercise.

Hawaii

This list would be incomplete without mentioning Hawaii. This beautiful state has the loveliest beaches in the world. Oahu Island offers a vast range of activities for you and your family. You can spend the day at the spa while your kids have fun at the pool. When you’re done, you can go surfing with your kids. If you’re an experienced surfer, you can teach them the basics.
