Kid-Friendly Adventures to Explore this Summer!

Top Places to Explore with Kids this Summer!

Most families are experiencing a different summer, with vacation plans canceled and the uncertainty of the future there are still many opportunities to create memories and make this summer enjoyable.  "Staycations" have been becoming more popular over the years, families choosing to stay close to home, instead of traveling for their vacation. Southern California has many options to create family fun and explore all this area has to offer.  

1. Take Kids Fishing

This is the best place around to introduce kids to the great sport of fishing. Only a small admission fee and only pay for the fish you catch. Also, you don’t need to spend a bunch of money buying all the kids fishing gear. We have everything they need and you can rent a rod for just $5.

For about a twenty-dollar bill, you and your kid can catch fresh fish for dinner and have a great time together! 

 Huckleberry Fish Pond is designed just for kids and is loaded with fish. Your kids can catch tonight’s dinner! Talk about fresh fish! Typically, we have rainbow trout and or catfish in the pond, and it won't take all day because we keep the fish hungry and ready to bite. In addition, our staff is here to help you and your kids with questions, rigging, and fishing tips.

Please call before visiting, changes have been put in place due to COVID 19 protocols.  

2. Sled the Giant Hill at Point Mugu

Point Mugu State Park, located in the Santa Monica Mountains, features five miles of ocean shoreline with rocky bluffs, sandy beaches, sand dunes, rugged hills and uplands, two major river canyons and wide grassy valleys dotted with sycamores, oaks and a few native walnuts. There are more than 70 miles of hiking trails. The beach also features swimming, body surfing, and surf fishing. The park includes the jagged pinnacles of the Boney Mountains State Wilderness Area.
Driving north up PCH, you'll see the sand dune on the east side after passing by Sycamore Canyon/Sycamore Cove Beach and before reaching the entrance to the Thornhill Broome Campground.
