Catered toward the youngest family members whether it be the cowboy within, the animal lover or SpongeBob's biggest fan, children's themed hotels will capture the hearts of your little ones. Take them on a safari adventure, to the set of one of their favorite shows or splashing down a gigantic water slide.
The Alisal Guest Resort will entertain your little cowboys and cowgirls with a kid-friendly ranch. This guest ranch is in Solvang, California, which is north of Santa Barbara. Kids will experience the critters at the Alisal Barnyard where they learn to gather eggs, animal grooming, feeding and even steer head roping. A lead around is available for parents who want to supervise first-time riders as well as family horseback riding excursions. Don't fret parents, the ranch features an 18-hole championship golf course and a 100-acre spring fed lake stocked with bass, trout and bluegill for catch and release fishing.
