Located at 390 Linden Avenue, Carpinteria, at the northern corner of Carpinteria State Beach Park, the Tomol Interpretive Play Area opened in 2011 through the cooperative efforts of California State Parks, the Morning Rotary Club of Carpinteria, and the City of Carpinteria.
The play area, universally accessible by all visitors, features a Chumash Indian village with slides, cave, sandstone boulders, a "tomol" plank boat, rainbow bridge and other play structures. Definitely something to stop by and check out with your little ones when you are in the area.
The interpretive play area was awarded the Universal Access Award by California State Parks for “outstanding achievement in increasing universal access” by all visitors regardless of physical limitations.
Reyes Adobe Park is located at 31400 Rainbow Crest Drive in Agoura Hills, adjacent to the Reyes Adobe Historical Site. It is a decent sized community park with plenty of shade trees, restrooms and a nice playground area as you can see in the video below. The annual Reyes Adobe Days event is staged here at the park too.
Ventura County is just quick drive to the Santa Barbara Zoo and Los Angeles Zoo, while for those looking for a quick wild animal fix, the America's Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College fills the bill. CLICK HERE for more about these three zoo alternatives.
UPDATE: Umami Burger closed its doors in January 2020.
Umami Burger at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks opened its doors on May 3, 2012. Previously Umami was Nate N Al Deli, which closed its doors on January 4, 2012. Before that, Sushi Ko resided in the spot from 2005 to August 2009. Yes, sushi, deli and gourmet burgers all in this spot at The Lakes...but one thing that hasn't changed is the little mini-golf area outside of the restaurant! Yeah!!
We stopped by to sample the gourmet Umami burgers (they were pricey but really good) and while awaiting the food, my 6 year old and I entertained ourselves on the green. They have plenty of clubs and mini wiffle balls on hand in the restaurant.
Something to consider when you're out dining with kids who can't sit still...
