If you’re looking for a unique summer getaway filled with natural beauty, family fun, and strawberry picking, Fort Cross Old Timey Adventures in Santa Ysabel, California, is the perfect destination for you.
This farm offers guided adventure tours with activities such as archery, axe throwing, slingshot target practice in a ghost town, farm animal interactions, and a reptile exhibit.
Summer tours take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 10 a.m. and last two hours. Reservations and prepayment are required through their official website: fortcross.com.
Strawberry Picking Season
In addition to scheduled activities, visitors can stay after noon to enjoy the tire swing, the corn maze, jug band music room, and picnic areas.
This season, strawberry picking is available for just $5 per person (children and adults), which includes a half-pint container to fill with berries.
You’re also welcome to bring your own food and enjoy it at one of their many picnic spots—whether at a table or on a blanket in the grass. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing day surrounded by nature.
Just A Few Minutes from Julian
Fort Cross is close to the charming town of Julian, California, famous for its old-fashioned apple pies. After a day of adventure and strawberry picking, why not treat yourself to a freshly baked slice? And since summer is here, topping it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be the perfect ending to a memorable day.
