Oak Park, 1.6 km from Santa Barbara Natural History Museum
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (681 reviews)
"We loved our stay at the Cheshire Cat Inn. Everything from the easy check in, our cottage was adorable and spotless and the delicious breakfast delivered to our door every morning. The location is great, close enough to state street but also quiet and peaceful. We have stayed in Santa Barbara many times, usually closer to or right on the ocean which is beautiful but can be very noisy since the highway runs along the shoreline. We will definitely stay here again!"

Lots of history and beautiful gardens at the Mission. This isn't a whole day activity. We got up early and were back to the hotel before the rest of the family woke up!

Alameda Park in Santa Barbara is the location for many city-wide celebrations like Summer Solstice and is one of the city's oldest parks. Occupying two blocks in the heart of downtown, it is home to a gazebo as well as the 8,000-square-foot Kids World playground and many rare trees. This view is looking southwest at Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church across Anacapa Street, one of the oldest churches in California, dating back to 1782. #SantaBarbara #California #lifeatexpedia #weloveourmarkets #AMER
