things to do with kids in solvang

SOLVANG in Danish means “Sunny Fields” and so this park in the charming little Danish-style village of Solvang California is aptly named Sunny Fields Park. This park has a great big playground full of smooth wooden castle tower playstructures with lots of nooks and crannies to explore, windmill walkthroughs, water mister for hot days, viking ship to climb on, swings, slides, theater cut-outs and more. Ages 3 and up.

There is also a separate section of the playground for smaller children from 2-5 with parent supervision. This section has an adorable little gingerbread house to play in.

At the park you will also find a baseball field, a huge lawn area, picnic tables (some are covered), and clean restrooms. This is not your ho-hum plastic and metal playground!

Ostrichland in Buellton CA

Ostriches are such unique looking creatures!

So are ostriches birds or related to dinosaurs? Wikipedia says though flightless, they are the largest living species of bird. Other research shows they are related to dinosaurs as well!

Size: 8-9 feet tall and 350 pounds, an ostrich can run 35 miles per hour. They can live to be up to 75 years old! Source: OstrichlandUSA.com

Ostriches are native to Africa. Emus are native to Australia.

We enjoyed our visit to Ostrichland (we call it the Ostrich farm) and if you have young children, the farm sometimes suggests they feed a smaller Emu instead (though emus are not that much smaller).
