“Highly recommend this colorful garden sanctuary for both locals and visitors from afar. The views of the SB Mission and the nearby mountains are stunning, and both can be captured beautifully via photography, if time allows.
One suggestion for the park managers is to review which rose plantings are missing labels/signs, because for several years we have been trying to identify a few orange/amber rose varieties, and signage has rarely been available in these cases.
Thanks for a picturesque and engaging garden experience, so proximate to the grandeur of the historic SB Mission.”
“I love coming here-it’s like a home away from home! Well run and a great community. Haley always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs are met, and is flexible and accommodating whenever she can be. It’s great to support and frequent a business that is focused on creating great relationships with their customers and community.”
“Just watched a great interpretation of A Christmas Carol with a little darker twist and we had a great time. The venue was intimate and the performers were wonderful.
If you are looking for a great live entertainment in small venues, I recommend downloading the Fever app, there is something for everyone.”
“Genuinely made my wedding day so special. I was able to have my ceremony here as well which kept everything simple for guests. I’m really grateful for how Drew and Brett took care of us throughout the day! I would highly recommend this venue for any couple looking to have an intimate and simple wedding or a fun and high energy reception- they do it all!”

“We rented LoDo for a commercial production of testimonials, and it was great! Ground floor access made loading in and out very easy. The staff was very amenable, the facility was versatile, and overall it was a great experience.”
“Beautiful services,
Community and content. Currently there are rotating ministers and it actually works
Well, giving the community even more knowledge, experience and wisdom to draw upon. A wonderful place for anyone, any age families, singles - all are welcome genuinely. In my 30 years in SB, it’s always been a place of solace and inspiration and I feel the quality of speakers and messages are only improving. Also attend on- line”
“The Orchids were extraordinary. I didn't want to leave. Great displays, friendly informed vendors. Places to sit and rest. I bought a photograph of a Cymbidium Orchid from one the artist in the art work exhibit of orchids, also on display with the live orchids.”
“Perfect spot for our micro wedding lunch reception! Short walk from the courthouse and perfectly accommodated our ~40-45 guests. Marina was super responsive and great to work with”
“I had my wedding here and it was perfect. The ceremony on the grass followed my cocktail hour in the patio. We got a dance floor, but it could not be placed out in the patio. It had to be placed in the buffet area. It was still beautiful.”
“We recently attended an event at this Westside Neighborhood Center on Santa Barbara California and we were very impressed with the size of this hall. The hall had great sound acoustics and the kitchen was very large and had everything we needed. We will definitely recommend this hall to all our friends and colleagues.”
“Really like the atmosphere here. Lots of space, casual but comfy. Added a winery as well which is nice addition. Food is very good as well as beer selection. Wood fired pizzas you will want to try. Only available though after 4 I believe. Give it a try!”
“Across the street from the ocean. lots of green lawn for kids to run around. Great for big parties and birthdays. Playground.
When the Carousel House first opened around 95-96 my daughter was about 2 years old. She loved this place especially the Denizel Original Horse Carousel..”

“My dog Captain loves MacKenzie Park. He's been going here since I first adopted him from Spark Rescue Santa Barbara. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating is because the 20lb or less area has no shade. On a sunny day more than half the day that area will remain empty. The large dog side has all those pine trees that give it an amazing amount of shade. With this recent heatwave, it was just to hot. Luckily Captain is 75lbs so we are in the shade. Except for that, it's the perfect place. I hope they'll do something soon. It really isn't fair for small dog owners.”
“If you want excellent tri-tip this is the place to go. They began as a market selling a variety of beef cuts including the local favorite, tri-tip. They sell marinades and can also pre-marinate your meat if you so desire. A few years ago they launched a restaurant and catering service which is as delicious as the meat they sell. Highly recommended!”

“We stay here when passing through. Very clean central location. This is a boutique hotel very well maintained at the start of main street & the funk zone. The homeless situation is ridiculous in Santa Barbara & Moxy keeps you safe.”
“What an amazing experience!
From the very first moment, Susan made us feel completely comfortable and welcome. The place was spotless, and the atmosphere truly felt five-star — just another reason Santa Barbara lives up to its beautiful reputation.”

“We had such a great time at the Kimpton in Santa Barbara. Beautiful hotel,great staff and good sized rooms too. We were there for several days and it was great. We also booked to stay in a suite and it was quite big. Plenty of room for two people and your suitcases. It’s in a very walkable part of SB close to lots of bars,restaurants and the beach. Huge shoutout to the staff members Tommy,Jake and the guys working at the valet. Tommy went out of his way one night to make us a cup of tea when it was a bit late and was super helpful with recommendations. Jake and the boys at valet were very kind and even charged our Tesla a few times without us asking. Something we really appreciated. We will be back next time we’re in Southern California!”

“Are in town dropping our son off at college and decided to make a weekend of it. Stayed here and had the most relaxing and beautiful weekend EVER!
I have to mention how incredibly amazing our waiter, Ameen, at the O'Bar was. My husband was craving nachos 🫣which are not on their menu but he went out of his way and asked the chef if he could make them. He came back with the most amazingly delicious 🤤 nachos that days later my husband is still talking about.”
“I stayed one nights and it was lovely. Vanessa was so welcoming and helpful with the check in. The room was incredibly charming. It's not the Ritz, but it has a California coolness about it. Vanessa told me the best restaurants on the street for dinner. I met Alex in the morning and she showed me the lovely breakfast spot just down the street. You can walk all over the town from here and also to the beach 10 min. I have a nephew studying at UCSB so I will be back there again soon!”
“Beautiful night! So much talent and great energy throughout the performance and individual sharing! Loved how the four were in tune with each other for every song, especially the teamwork at the end of each!”
