The Oasis Camel Dairy in Ramona, CA is a total hidden gem. I’ve been looking for fun things to do with my kids now, and writing about it, for over a dozen years. I know every fun hole in the wall in LA, OC, San Diego, Ventura Counties, and a good bit of the rest of California, too. And I still hadn't been to this camel farm.

Well, let me save you from wasting any more time. Make a plan today to visit Oasis; it’s more than just camel rides, camel feeding, and camel petting. We went when the turkey races were happening, and my son laughed until tears were streaming down his face. There’s also a highly impressive bird show, as well as the cutest little sheep you can meet and feed. 

Read on for all the details, including when to visit, where to stay, where else to go in the hood (hint: someplace else with LOADS of animals is right down the street), and more…

Submitted by Meghan Rose on Thu, 10/10/2024 - 8:32am

From books to food to land recognitions, discover the best ways to honor Indigenous Peoples Day 2024 with kids.

In the fall, we can celebrate Public Lands Day (September 28), Indigenous Peoples Day (the second Monday in October), and Thanksgiving. They’re all opportunities to honor the rich history and cultures of Native communities. 

Where I live, it’s become commonplace to open theater or music performances with a land acknowledgment, recognizing and honoring the Indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the land. I love this practice, and have brought it into our home for our own celebrations.

Read on to discover how to research which Indigenous peoples originally inhabited the land where you live, when and why Columbus Day became Indigenous Peoples Day, and other ways to honor Indigenous Peoples Day 2024 with kids.

Tallahassee with Kids: 31 Awesome Things To Do in Tallahassee, Florida

Submitted by Meghan Rose on Sat, 09/07/2024 - 9:16am

How many baby alligators can you find on Momma's back?

If you think Florida is all beaches and the House of Mouse (and other awesome amusement parks), you probably haven’t been to Tallahassee. Just miles from the Georgia border, the capital of the Sunshine State is a cool college town filled with fun things to do and explore with kids.

In fact, Tallahassee has two of the coolest museums for kids in all of Florida, which is pretty fitting for the state capital! It’s also a great vacation base, as it's a short skip from two of my favorite day trips in all of Florida: Wakulla Springs and the Florida Caverns. So next time you plan a vacation to Florida, think about a visit to “Tally,” a progressive little city in the Panhandle.

Read on for the best things to do in Tallahassee with kids, and be sure to check out our Guide to Visiting the Florida Panhandle and our Florida Family Travel Guide.
