My husband and I were amazed by FVC from the moment we arrived. With counselors cheering from the parking lot helping you with check-in and taking family pics, we felt very much welcomed. It was literally the best vacation ever since becoming a parent. No need to go grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking and most importantly your kids are soooo happy to hang out with the young, energetic, and loving counselors !! It was our 1st summer here and my 2.5 yr old twin boys had a time of their lives. The amazing director Sheri and the awesome counselors do all their best to keep everyone smiling and entertained during the stay. Lots and lots of activities for both kids and adults. Food at the cafeteria varies everyday and yummy. We are soooo returning next year. Thank you for the wonderful memories, FVC !!!

Our favorite place to spend our vacation! Activities for the whole family, as much or little as you want. The staff are the best! Fun, responsible, playful and great role models for the kids! This was our 11th summer there. If my daughter had any say, we'd spent the entire summer here.

This is a great place to take your kids on vacation. You stay in the dorms at UC Santa Barbara, and eat most of your meals in the student dining facility. While the accommodations are spartan, the food is surprisingly good - much better than when I was in college! The real attraction is the activities that they provide for all the kids. The kids are kept busy all day, having tons of fun and making new friends. The adults have a good choice of activities too, or they can choose to just relax. Overall, it is great, as it takes the meal planning, cooking and activity planning out of the equation.

By the second day our family was ready to sign up again for the next yearand we did. Our two children have had so much fun with the enthusiastic college-age counselors who are excellent role models as well as experts in creating fun for kids. My husband and I have been able to relax together, play tennis, swim, bike ride, and walk on the beach. We love that we can create family memories with our children that were favorites from our own childhood such as s-mores on the beach, skits, talent shows, derby cars, and ping pong along with new favorites like rock climbing and ceramics. This is definitely the "best vacation since becoming parents".

The Family Vacation Center is an easy, relaxing get-away. Food, accommodations, and most activities are included in the price, which makes it worry- and hassle-free. Kids (infants through high school) are entertained in age-appropriate groups, while the adults have a choice of their own activities such as wine-tasting and kayaking. There are plenty of family activities that parents and children can do together, while babysitting is available if couples want an evening out. It's staffed primarily by college students, who are great with the kids and make it all fun for everyone. The beach is steps away, as is a pool, and vacationers also have free use of the the nearby UCSB recreation center. Santa Barbara is just a short drive away, offering many opportunities for shopping, wine-tasting, museums, and so on. The weather is typically sunny and warm, without the oppressive heat that so much of Southern California experiences during the summer months.

Our extended family has met here for a family reunion every year since 2006, and we continue to look forward to our visits.

Pros - Energetic and enthusiastic staffers, entertainment for all ages, all-inclusive plan.
Cons - Only available for 9 weeks per year and popular weeks often book up way ahead of time.
