This outdoor museum is great for grandpas and kids together. These old steam and gas powered machines kept the interest of both parties. There’s so much room to run, play, and explore. Not to mention the mini trains, hand weavers, and clock and watch exhibits. Check their schedule online to find events and demonstrations or visit on a non-event day to self tour for $5 per person.

Nature
Trails, natural habitat, preserve type places that we love to explore nearby.
This is a man made lake, with trails all around to hike. We like this one because it is the sight of an ancient volcano. Sometimes we climb to the top and enjoy the great views, Sometimes we just poke around near the bottom of the volcano where someone made a labyrinth out of rocks. We like to watch for creatures in the sky, brush, and ground. There is also a “solar system trail” with plaques along the way detailing the scale of the distance of the planets.
Remember to wear sunscreen and bring water.

Sightseeing
Boogie boarding, surfing, building sand castles, soaking up the sun, and swimming are our favorite activities here. It doesn’t take much to feel the rejuvenation from the waves, sand, and sun.
