Explore visit play provides day trip and travel inspiration for families who enjoy the arts, culture and the outdoors.

We have been traveling and exploring together for over 30 years. On our road trips across America, we seek unique local experiences, art, architecture, culture and play. As avid hikers and backpackers we have adventured throughout many of America’s National Parks and backpacked through the wilderness for weeks on end. As parents we are always looking for playful creative activities that are fun for us and kids.

On these pages we share photos, stories and destinations from our favorite travels and day trip ideas close to home throughout Southern California. We strive to provide insights from our experiences so you can learn and discover new places to visit. Happy Adventures!
