We love our local Zoo. Tons of opportunities to interact with animals. We strongly encourage the goat feeding - ask how to see the goat bring up the bucket!

We love this nearby hiking spot. It's got a smallish parking lot but the high school is nearby so you can park there and walk over. Plenty of mountain bikers ride here, so be on the lookout if you're hiking.

Want something a bit more risqué? Take in a burlesque show at La Burla Bee. Fabulous cocktails and yummy Italian food. They have events most nights of the week (karaoke, trivia, etc) so it’s a great, welcoming space even if burlesque isn’t your thing.
