Spend Black Friday outdoors in Santa Cruz! Families take an easy 1-mile hike (with some stairs) to a monarch butterfly grove, with a kids' telescope and owl spotting, then explore the tidepools and play on the beach building sandcastles and dams. Kids get a scavenger hunt, and the afternoon ends with sunset views and optional pizza and ice cream. Every 10th spot is free for lower-income families, on the honor system. Other families pay per family (up to 2 kids): $64 single-income or $74 dual-income until Nov. 15, then $74 or $84. Each extra child is $10. Parking is $10. Friday, Nov. 27, 2:00 to 4:30 PM; late arrivals can join later. Guided by Family Adventure Squad, a team of Bay Area moms who plan outdoor adventures for families with young kids. The exact meeting point in the Santa Cruz area is sent after registration. Strollers work on the hike, but carriers are easier on the stairs.
