Feel like you’ve been cramped up in the house too long? It’s time to take that family and have some fun outside. If you’re looking for some new things to do or places to visit, then you’re in the right spot. Here are four things to enjoy with your kids in Temecula, California.
Play with Some Alpacas
Outdoor fun and adorable animals come together at The Alpaca Hacienda. They offer private family and friends tours where you can discover all of their friendly alpacas. Your tour will include a bag of treats for feeding and begins with a presentation. Tours last about an hour and a half, and the park will be closed to the public during your scheduled time. For an additional cost, they will set up a picnic area for you if you want to bring your own lunch.
Check out the gift shop when your tour is finished, and you can take home alpaca fleece items and llama and alpaca themed gifts. Don’t forget your camera because this is an event you will want to remember. Find this family-friendly activity at 31755 Rancho Vista Road.
Get Creative
Tap into your families’ creative side with a visit to the Painted Earth Pottery and Art Studio. Whether enjoying open studio time or participating in one of their many workshops, you’re sure to leave with a beautiful piece of art. Choose a ceramic piece and then personalize it with stencils, paint, and patterns. Painted Earth Pottery and Art Studio will then glaze and fire your piece making it safe for eating and dishwasher use.
Clay more your style? Visit their Clay Room where everyone can create a priceless memory featuring their footprints or hands. Located at 27507 Ynez Rd. in Temecula, current information on classes, hours, fees, and other specials is available on their website.
Go for a Horseback Ride
Another great outdoor activity in Temecula for family fun is to go horseback riding at Green Acres Ranch. Explore the countryside in an entirely new way. This western-style ranch is a working horse ranch and has great trainers and leaders for any rides you take. Reservations must be made beforehand, but this is a great way to get out and enjoy some fresh air with the family. If your kids really take to riding, they also offer riding lessons and are accepting new students. They are located at 35750 De Portola Road.
Enjoy the Outdoors
For a perfect family outing, check out Harveston Lake Park. This park has a children’s play area, walking path, picnic areas, and available restrooms to make spending the entire day easier. The public lake is perfect for fishing or just watching the turtles and ducks play. The park does remind families to not feed the ducks, as it’s detrimental to the duck’s diet to consume food intended for humans and invites you to simply enjoy their presence. Rent a boat and get out on the water to truly soak in the beauty of Harveston Lake.
We hope that your next family outing is full of fun and adventure at one of these great places. Stay safe and enjoy yourself!
