Attractions You Can’t Miss
A refreshing museum or special local spot hides at every turn. Below are just a few family friendly attractions to get you started on your long vacation list of things to do.
- Children’s Museum of Sonoma County: The kids deserve a little break from the vineyards. If they behave, you can treat them to this rambunctious museum and park. They can play in the coral, create bubbles, go fishing, jump around in the play treehouse, and build towers with blocks. It’s one of the county’s greatest family attractions.
- Pacific Coast Air Museum: Children (as well the young at heart) will have a blast at one of the state’s most exhilarating air museums. Fighter jets, helicopters, World War II classics, various military vehicles, and more can be seen close-up and even entered into. The museum is a must-see for any young kid looking to blast-off.
There are many things to do with the whole family. Contact us for more possible activities right outside any of our vacation rentals.
