The 1782 Mission Basilica San Buenaventura, which has a garden lined with trees and a small museum of indigenous artifacts, is the focal point of downtown Ventura. The 1920s Majestic Ventura Theater hosts rock, blues, and country bands while the Museum of Ventura County explores local history and looks out onto Mission Park's lawn. Next to unhurried taverns and thrift shops are sushi bars, Mexican eateries, and gastropubs.
Breweries, Bars, & Wine Bars
Everyone can find something to enjoy in Downtown Ventura's rapidly expanding brewery, bar, and wine scene, whether they are commemorating a special occasion or simply want to unwind with a drink after a long day at the office. You might be a fan of Belgian beer. You might be looking for a wine tasting or just wanting to get a glass and then buy a bottle to take home. Maybe you want to sit at C Street and sip an IPA while watching the waves come in.
Whatever suits your tastes, head downtown to find the ideal location. Downtown Ventura has everything you need for happy hour, a pre-dinner beverage, or a full-blown night out thanks to three nearby microbreweries and a variety of tasting rooms.
Family Fun
There are plenty of opportunities in downtown Ventura to get you and your family moving. Surfboards can be rented at Rip Curl and paddled out at Ventura's famous C Street break, which is close to the Pier. Alternatively, rent bikes or a surrey from Wheel Fun Rentals to take in the same views while remaining dry.
You can't constantly be on the go while on family vacation. You want to be able to unwind with one another. Downtown Ventura has what you need, whether your family enjoys watching movies or looking through books to read while spending an afternoon at the beach.
Treats abound in Ventura's downtown. For an incredible selection of candies, visit Rocket Fizz, or stop by Sub Zero to watch your personalized ice cream being frozen in-store.
