El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park
Santa Barbara, CA
Adults $5, seniors $4, kids 16 and under free; hourly lot at 115 E. Canon Perdido St
By Simir Shah
The 1782 Spanish fort site downtown, with two original adobes (El Cuartel and the Cañedo Adobe) and a self-guided tour booklet. Kids 16 and under are free, so it's a quick history stop. The park says it is currently open while under construction, so some areas may be fenced.
