Entertainment & Activities

World-famous for its rollercoaster. Busy in the summer and parking is usually a challenge. There is a trolly you can catch in downtown Santa Cruz that will take you here; the better option transportation-wise. :-) Fun for the family, right by the beach. The offer free music on the beach in the summer.

If you eat meat, you'll be lured in by their smokers that "perfume" the entire town with their aroma... great tritip and they have live music some days.

Great for date night. They have a little historic cable car "elevator" that is a hit with the kids (and adults). If you go, we prefer finding a seat in the bar area. Go early, they do get busy. If you'll visit the restaurant area, call for reservations.

Drinks & Nightlife

Not technically a winery, but wine is what they do. Great to hang out in a group of adults. Try their mac n' cheese dish.
