Museum
 
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium (23 miles away)
Hosted by the Rosicrucian Church the Egyptian museum has the largest collections of egyptian artifacts in California. The architecture of the museum is inspired by the Temple of Amon, and there is alot to see inside and out. The grounds surrounding the building include a peace garden to walk through and many statues. Staff is very helpful and have gone out of their way to get as much information...

Mystery Spot (5 miles away)
it's a spot :) where laws of physics seem to go crazy. things appear to shrink and grow, gravity does funny tricks. can you figure out what's causing it?
 
Boardwalk (5 miles away)
Santa Cruz's own amusement park, and it's right on the main beach! There's an arcade and many classic rides.
 
Castroville Artichoke Festival (18 miles away)
The Artichoke Center of the World is, of course, home to an Artichoke Festival. It's two days of music, children's entertainment (like face painting, etc.), and lots of artichoke, prepared in more ways than you could imagine.
 
New Brighton State Beach
A gorgeous beach that's perfect for camping or just lounging by the waves. There are capsites near the beach so it's legal and convenient but it's also not too crowded or dirty.
