**Tour begins at 100 E. Main Street, at the Ventura County Museum…read more This is a self-guided walking tour of the downtown historic core of the City of Ventura. About six blocks long, and several blocks of side detours off of Main Street comprise the tour. The website address listed is where you can print out a copy of the tour. Copies are also available at the Ventura Visitors Center. The guide offers quick overviews of the highlighted buildings, with when they were built, and what the significance was to the development of the city. Even for frequent Ventura visitors, you might find a few surprises, as Dear Hubby and I did yesterday when we walked the route. Along the way, you'll likely be interacting with others hanging out in Ventura. Most will not be on the same historical journey that you're on, but might be enjoying seeing the unique architectural facades, especially along Main Street. From the Mission, to several beautifully restored Victorians (now housing various businesses), to the "unique" conversion of the Carlo Hahn House into The Tavern, to charming hotels, to stately bank buildings, and a very early themed shopping plaza, there's much to see along the way. Two magnificent Moreton Bay Fig trees are on the tour, as well. Fortunately for weary feet, there are lots of places to stop and rest / grab something to eat or drink along the way. You might want to save shopping for before or after the tour, as carrying around purchases might make for an even longer walking experience. I know I was ready to put my feet up and relax when we were finished! As likely intended by those at the Visitors Bureau who put the guide together, doing the walking tour lets you know about so many places you might not notice otherwise. That can invite a return visit to get to know those spots more in depth. We did it! Where's my t-shirt that says so??!!

Highly recommend checking out the museum doing business hours.

I would definitely come back here to learn about the house and to take the guided tour. This wasn't the purpose for me coming today but the gentleman who works here noted that it's a great tour and I know friends who have enjoyed learning about the family and the history of the house, getting a deeper dive of information. I came here with some friends for their first hosted event Sound Bath. A wellness day if you will. From start to finish everything was very organized and thoughtful. The staff hosting the event and the spiritual wellness guide and sound healer was wonderful. Everyone was nice and you felt welcomed. Not pretentious and just very positive and good vibes. We had a nice group and everyone was respectful and on time for the sound bath so it went off without issue. It was a relaxing experience and the grounds were very nice to hold this outdoor event. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, we found an area with shade, very nice. Very faint sounds of cars in the distance here and there which wasn't ideal but out of their control and once things settled in you really couldn't hear much external noise. After the relaxing sound bath we were offered tea and light pastry snacks. I opted for a water and began exploring the grounds instead of partaking in the refreshments. The grounds are lush and lovely, very zen. Loved the beautiful trees and walkways with small fountains and running water. It was green and pretty all around from the recent rains. Definitely a great location for events and to learn a little SB history. I will definitely do my research and come back again soon.

From a truly impressive lego display, to a jaw-dropping makerspace with every craft supply you could think of, to the air tunnels the small indoor space alone could have kept my family entertained for hours! The outdoor exhibit is where the museum is currently the most fleshed out at the moment. Farmers markets, balance beams, a small area for the little guys to play, dress-up heaven, a chance to be archeologists and dig for fossils, and a truly impressive channel islands-inspired play area make for a delightful place for kids to get lost in play and imagination! Beyond the exhibits and interactivity, what truly brings KidSTREAM to life is the fanatstic team they have assembled! Staff work with kids on a variety of rotating experiments and crafts, and help breathe life into the museum. Our family found great value in the membership and have already visited 3 times in the first week! My kids are already asking when they can return!

Now that phase 1 of the museum is complete and open we are amazed. A beautiful little outdoor theater, a play cafe and farmer's market, a real greenhouse and a Channel Islands themed playground are just a few highlights of the outdoor experience. The indoor has a nice little classroom and shop area and a really cool maker space including a cardboard "chomp saw" and lots of crafts! The staff are really kind, patient, polite, and helpful. They help transform this from a fun space into an inviting experience. You can tell how passionate they are about family learning. The museum is already amazing and a fitting successor to the library that used to be on the site. We can't wait for phase 2, when the rest of the indoor space is renovated and available!

My experience was five star because the ladies in the back room cataloging items and Steve, who…read morewelcomed us when we walked in the door, were super knowledgeable about the area and the changes going on in the museum. After COVID, most of the items were stored to be brought out later, sorted and cataloged. That's an ongoing, huge job. That's why some of the items now noted on the website are not in view-like the 3000 salt shakers and vintage produce boxes labels. But there are plenty of artifacts and storyboards left to find out about the cultural, agricultural, port/naval history and notable families who shaped the area. Hours are limited so check before you go. They also steered us to a reasonably priced, local favorite Mexican restaurant, Antonio's just a minute by car down the street.

They have their own parking lot and also have about a good 20 spaces right in front of the historical house area. I've been here over the years for concerts and more recently an event. This is a great lowkey space for events and I particularly like when they hold the regular concert series here in the spring and summer. Once inside the Adobe house area, it isn't too big but can be spacious enough for a couple hundred people . There are public restrooms near the front entrance and otherwise it's an open courtyard where the event promoters bring their own tables, chairs, and decor. Every time I've come here there has been sporadic seating and food/drink vendors, depending on the event. I like this venue as it's not too far from the freeway and close by the harbor for some pre-post meals.
