You have probably seen multiple posts about summer bucket lists. On those lists are activities that are family friendly and fun that are either only possible during summer because of the weather (if you live anywhere other than CA), or possible because you have more time. If you follow 805 families you know that all year is a good time for planned or spontaneous family outings. However, there are a few summer only activities in Ventura County that are worth the mention.
