    A great place to see Plays. Nothing like it! Pcpa has been around for 60 years and they are very good at what they do! I have seen many shows there.

    We thoroughly enjoyed Rideau Vineyard. Our guide was friendly, informative, and helpful. We ordered a charcuterie board to partake while wine tasting and bought several bottles because it was so good! Besides this, it was a gorgeous place, inside and out. We were not disappointed!

    Very interesting and well presented. Strongly recommend visiting this museum while in Solvang. Nicely curated artifacts and cool to walk through the home where one of the first settler families lived. Lots of Danish items that one would find in a Danish home, like the one that I grew up in! Docent/volunteer knew what to point out, although she didn't know the answers to a few of questions.

    It’s a beautiful place to visit but no tours are offered by the misión it’s a self guide overall I would prob go early during weekends I went on a Friday about 12 and there were a few ppl . I stayed back and let them go before me so I could tour the rooms quiet it was a large family w all ages and they were explaining things to the kids so kinda noisy but it self guided so as long as you don’t exit you can go back n forth through the rooms and the garden/cemetery outside

    This is one of the only wineries I've been to that requires reservations. Given I've owned a winery that's saying a lot. Nonetheless once you get past that system and the technology is not that great, you're in for a treat that is the way the valley used to be before the movie sideways. The qualities of Rusack wine has always been excellent whether it's under the current winemaker or under John and Helen in the past. What made this tasting so impressive was they absolutely gear the tastings towards people and what they want. As an example if you're a wine club member they will have your wines ready for you based on your membership, or they may have a preference that you keep in their system and have that ready. They're just so many little touches that are unique. As an example when you come in you're greeted similar to a restaurant by someone at the front. They're checking not only your reservation and if you don't have one you're going to get turned away, but also pouring you a glass of Sauvignon Blanc just as you walk towards your table or seats. Once you're seated you will receive your pre-ordered cheeses or charcuterie plates and choose from three or four of the tastings. If you're a wine member they're even more benefits. The views are astonishing beautiful chairs overlooking the grapes sitting under three oak trees on a deck that's been built around those trees. The people who do the tastings are knowledgeable and can educate you and this is always a joy. I can't stress enough how unique this opportunity is. It is also limited because you're required to have reservations. But it's so worth making the trip and the plan.

    Please, take the trip to see this museum. So many bikes to view. A special event for my husband although I whole heartedly had a great time.

    We were on our way up to Solvang and we were looking for something to see or do on the way up. About 15 minutes outside of Solvang is this quaint little hike to a very tiny waterfall. The hike up is like a 10 minute non strenuous walk but it is very beautiful. It wasn't busy when we went up so the walk was nice a quiet lots of wildlife to see on your way up, birds, squirrels etc.. This would be a great beginners hike or a hike with kids, dogs, older people etc. as it is fairly flat the entire way. The "falls" itself are pretty underwhelming as there isn't a lot of water flowing, This isn't Multnomah Falls in Oregon, look it up... Overall a nice quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of Solvang, if there is such a thing..

    Tips:
    Parking is free and located near by
    Bathrooms on site and as dirty as you would expect a park bathroom to be.. the ones down the hill are much cleaner.. FYI

    Sunny field Park in Solvang village is one of the attraction spot. It is a recreation area and kids will enjoy. Park is a unique themed wooden playground.

    This is a rescue location for miniature donkeys, pigs and sheep. The chickens and ducks are usually from the local area. They also have goats. They are open to the public on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They don't have a set admission, but they do ask for a donation. The people are definitely loving toward their animals and have plenty of space for them to be in. They've given the animals individual names and some of the donkeys have had babies after they arrived at the rescue location. There were families there with small children and they keep brushes available for any of the animals that you'd like to spend extra time with. This would be a good activity for families with children.

    We visited in April ‘21 and around Christmas and it’s a nice place to see and enjoy night or day any time of the year. Centrally located near the places in town with good food and danish treats.

    Very helpful docent in the visitor center in Solvang New, where to tell us to walk made our trip to Solvang extra special. The map what that was provided was extremely helpful right in the center of town.

    Really - this is a lovely little bookstore. The Hans Christian Andersen Museum is part of it and has a lot of interesting artifacts. It's a really old world feel and we enjoyed it. It doesn't really cost anything either (but we left a donation).
