SANTA BARBARA TRAVEL GUIDE: 10 Things to Know Before You Go

It's always nice to see these vlogs with you and the smiling baby girl 😁👶🏻. Santa Barbara looks like a nice week trip in the making. Thanks

🌴🌴🌴💯👍

Hot dog with mayonnaise, mashed potato, mustard and ketchup is good option.

No way, plastic spoons and forks??

Local here. I know you are from San Diego because you skipped the biggest segment of our local food diet; Mexican Food. So people not from So-cal, may want to experience when visiting (I get that the seafood is more local) Great Video!! I have seen all of the things you mentioned, but it was amazing that you came when you could experience them all for one video.

As usual, a fantastic video highlighting the best of Santa Barbara! I’ve been trying to convince my twins to apply to college there. Back in the day (when Common Sense was still rocking Isla Vista) it wasn’t too tough but now, oof! 😊

Half of the video is food 😂

I was in Santa Barbara in 2018 and it was a beautiful city

Checkout the best tour in the city Santa Barbara Glassblowing Studio. Come play with fire!

You show check out Santa Barbara Glassblowing studio the best tour!

Nice video

Hello from Germany, nice Video!

stay in carpenteria and take the bus to SB

Love your videos. Born and raised in Santa Barbara. Love my hometown!!! I think most locals will agree that Santa Barbara is part of the Central Coast and not Southern California

Cute video. We drive down from SF with our pup for our annual no-brainer getaway. The town is so charming and dog friendly. We always stay at the Hotel Californian due to its awesome location by the beach and the funk zone.

Great video Chris I lived in Santa Barbara for a while and there is a great municipal pool right near the beach for those who like swimming laps called Los Baños.

I'm an Australian who was there in 2017, driving from San Fran to LA. Stayed at the Beachside Inn. Beautiful, little town. Seemed very liveable.

Ha ha ha... You can check out anytime you like from the Hotel Californian, but you can never leave 😄. Thanks Chris !

That was a good video, I used to live there in 71 and 72, I always liked it there I’ll have to go back and visit soon, thanks Chris.

Ran into you on State st and you gave us a sticker! Thanks for being cool

Humor on point. Glad you took your daughter to the Moxi museum, it is really cool for young kids. The Natural History museum is also nice for kids, with a small planetarium. Rory’s ice cream is another good ice cream place, in the Santa Barbara Market building.

Wasn't this the location for hte eighties cult classic the "Lost Boys"? Looks really nice especially compared to LA.

I live here!

Santa Barbara looks really nice! I like those views from the top of the tower at the courthouse. I never knew sea urchin would look so tasty. I will need to try one someday!

Perfect timing, wife and I are going to SB the week of September 4th.

Hi Chris! It was nice seeing you and the fam at Dart Coffee at the funk zone in SB! 🌴☕️
Happy Travels!

Made the trip on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from Anaheim. Paid the higher fare for better seats. Was well worth it and loved SB!😊

Thank you good to know geology Santa Barbra.

Very interesting place..

Aww so shweet ! Love little princess reaction to sea urchin... 'No'...😂

Cool video on one of my favorite cities to visit.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful video. I always thought that Santa Barbara was a more upscale area. But it seems to be a pretty laid back area to visit. The food is amazing. I love that seafood market at the harbor. I envied you eating those fresh sea urchins. If I'm in the area. I will definitely check out the seafood for sure. Take care.

Me: “internet, tell me about Santa Barbara”. Chris: “ I got you”

The thumbnail is absolutely adorable. The Traveling Princess' pink dress is so pretty She certainly dressed for the occasion 😊. All of the food looked delicious , especially the Cajun food.

The McConnell’s ice cream is delicious! We spent 2 nights in Santa Barbara on our recent California Road Trip in May - we loved it!
It was our first visit to California from the UK & we found lots of your vlogs very helpful. Thank you 😍

There's so much to do in Santa Barbara. You missed showing the turtle fountain and hidden passages in the shopping/theater districts. You definitely could spend another day there. We did many things on our trips too. So much to cover there. From the train depot, art museum, museum of natural history, the Santa Barbara botanical gardens, Mission Rose Gardens, the orchid nurseries, the Santa Barbara historical museum, and the free karpeles manuscript Library/museum, the adobe, carriage museum. Ive visited Santa Barbara 4 times. The Four Seasons used to have an amazing Christmas holiday lobby display, but it's been closed for awhile. Your video was insightful too and covered a lot, but you would probably need to stay a week in Santa Barbara to see everything..did you go to the Sacred place in summerland?

Kyle's Kitchen is a budget restaurant in Santa Barbara. There are places to eat on a budget in Santa Barbara.

Nice job on this one! Great b-roll and drone shots!

fun fact, the purple sea urchins are actually an invasive species in the santa barbara coast and are growing at such a fast rate that they're actually negatively affecting the offshore ecosystem lol so eat all the pruple sea urchins you can!!!

I never knew Santa Barbara was such a wonderful place ❤

Historic tip: SB was destroyed by an earthquake and it was rebuilt in the Spanish style to draw in businesses and tourists, much like Solvang.

Those prices are simply extortionate.

Our fav is Andersen's Danish Restaurant, chocolate store is next door.

CHRIS FOR PRESIDENT 2024. MAKE AMERICA YELLOW AGAIN!
