It may be small in size, but it packs a powerful punch. Ask any Santa Barbarian what's their one "must visit" place and chances are they'll say the zoo. The exceptionally beautiful beachside site charms everyone, with or without the children. Behind-the-scenes tours are a fascinating way to discover more about the giraffes, elephants, penguins and other animals. http://www.sbzoo.org/
Head to the Granada Theatre in downtown Santa Barbara for unparalleled performances by the world’s leading stars and icons on flamenco. This beautiful dance evokes the area’s Spanish history and provides viewers with a vibrant and colorful show. Flamenco Arts Festival
The fall season is when the curtain comes up in Santa Barbara and stages and performing arts venues throughout the Santa Barbara South Coast give way to lively acts, engaging lectures, and enticing musical shows. But the special thing about Santa Barbara stages is that they’re not always found indoors. Immense natural beauty and special outdoor venues put on just as lively a show. This fall, in honor of the season, El Encanto invites you to renew with a Healing Cocoon spa treatment as part of the Monarch Butterfly Migration Package. From mid fall to early spring the Monarch butterflies migrate to the Coronado Butterfly Preserve in the city of Goleta. Experience this natural marvel before returning to luxury at El Encanto!
Drive around the Santa Barbara region and you'll find fragrant flowers everywhere. Check out the lavender fields of Solvang: not only are they a gorgeous sight but just breathe in The Lavender Farm's aromatic air. http://www.sblavender.com/
The garden created by Polish opera singer Ganna Walska is a truly extraordinary realm. Her labour of love over 43 years, it is a succession of contrasting "green rooms" and clusters of unusual plants. Topiary, dramatic displays of cycads and cacti, a Japanese pool, an open-air theatre, a beach set with giant shells…wonderful surprises appear at every turn. Private guided tours (visitor numbers are strictly limited) are available, reservations required. http://www.lotusland.org/
