    Wind harp
    Lisa V.

    Nice wind chimes when it's windy.... It's a one and done kinda place close to downtown Solvang. That's really all there is to say about California's oldest wind harp from 1915.

    Beautiful chime sounds!

    Alana had two bookmarks in Solvang. This Wind Harp was one of them... This Art Installation is quite beautiful and unique because Mother Nature transforms this man made structure into a musical instrument when she blows through it with a gentle breeze! It's an amazing wind chime, presented in 1915 at the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Currently, this landmark resides at a nursing home. Look towards the left side and park right in front of it! It's another cool tourist attraction! Note: Alana and I both submitted name changes to Yelp Headquarters. This is not a recovery center. It is a landmark, art installation, and Local Flavor!

    Wind Harp is what they call this giant thing that I would call a Wind Chime. Basically, it is a large instrument played by the wind, so yes, it's a Wind Harp. This Solvang Wind Harp is California's oldest one. It was at the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition. This Wind Harp was brought to Solvang after the Expo. It is located in Atterdag Village, across from a Nursing Home. As you go up a small road, it will be on the left. The structure is interesting. It almost looks like a bird cage. The chimes are inside. The wind blows through the pipes (chimes) to create music. Be sure to be still and listen to it for a few moments. I really enjoyed it! I think you will like it also!

    Want to visit a town that is proud of their danish heritage?

I have attached that are visible on the.com but are not visible on the app. Oh, how I love Solvang! As a kid, I would come up here once a year and walk around and buy a piece of fudge for the drive home. As an adult, I cannot believe the amazing history that is held in this city! First and foremost, the Mission Santa Ines is a MUST see and do. Beyond that, the streets have historical-looking buildings and shops that will take you straight to Denmark: shopping, bakeries, restaurants, wine tasting experiences, etc. etc. It's an incredible environment to immerse yourself in that is a great way to take a quick "staycation" if you're in Santa Barbara, Ventura, or even Los Angeles Counties. Via a quick search on the G train, the city of Solvang was founded in 1911. Also see: https://solvangusa.com/ There is so much to do and see in Solvang! Check it out and be sure to get a piece of Solvang fudge! Enjoy!

    I have attended several of the public events hosted by the Solvang Chamber of Commerce. Every…read moremonth, the Chamber will partner with a local business / chamber member to highlight the business, promote business collaboration and bring awareness to events and happenings throughout Solvang. I've found these events to be fun, informative and a great opportunity to meet business owners and fellow community members. At most events the Chamber will provide lite bites, beverages and the opportunity to buy raffle tickets to win prizes. I also frequently visit the Solvang Chamber website to learn about other events and happenings in the community (https://solvangcc.com/events/). Highly recommend checking out some of the events hosted by the Chamber if you're interested in exploring new businesses and supporting the local community!

    we have been coming to Solvang for many years. unfortunately, this will probably be the last time…read more the issue isn't the quantity of humans crowding the streets, though it is challenging. it's about the choices for shopping and prices spiraling out of control for restaurants and hotels. a 12% hotel tax is ridiculous when it's layered on top of a $500 room fee. there are no hotels that have quieter ambiance so we were subject to drunk guests screaming and laughing into the late hours of the night. the shopping has become that of a souvenir shop at the beach as opposed to Danish and antiquities. i get that you have to have a few of these, but there is a tide happening where more and more are something you would find in your local mall. the wine tasting costs are out of control and it quite simply doesn't balance out to say, "if you buy three bottles of wine, you will recoup the cost." i don't believe it should be free by any means, but it is not within reason anymore. in short, Solvang's and wine country's ego has gotten the best of them. Is this hygge?

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.
