Solvang Park is a perfect hangout spot, especially for larger groups, if you have dogs or kids that want to run around, and want some respectable space from others. There’s plenty of picnic tables to sit at, you can set out a blanket and sit in the g...
Solvang Park
This spot is less known about, and is right behind Solvang Park, entrance is where the bike shop is. There’s many little shops for food, drinks, and treats as well as other random things, and in the center, a bunch of seating with a small grass field...
Solvang Shopping Center
Restaurants
Perfect spot to grab food with family and friends. My favorites would be either the Hula Hula burger, or the Chicken Alfredo. For dessert, they have the best shakes. I love the cookies & cream and chocolate shakes the most! I love that this resta...
CHOMP - Hamburgers & Shakes Kids Welcome
A fun, spontaneous pick for my family. We love to go here and get some pulled pork sliders, drinks, and enjoy the relaxed and friendly environment of the tavern.
Fitzpatrick's Tavern
It’s so perfect that this little town has a subway in the center, right across from the park! You can stop in and order some food, maybe a drink or cookie, then walk across the street and sit at the park to enjoy it. They also have seating inside and...

You know what would make this little town more cozy? A boba tea and smoothie shop! This place is so perfect, their drinks are all bomb (with so many options + customization options!) and you can sit at their comfy little booths or couches! People lov...
Hygge Boba Tea and Smoothies
I love this almost hidden little coffee shop. It’s never too busy, but their drinks taste like they should be. Feel like a local coming in to grab a cup of your favorite coffee, and work inside on your laptop if you’d like.
The Solvang Coffee House
The fudge kitchen is a popular spot thanks to its openly loved wide selection of fudge, and soft pretzels! This place is meant for those who want something sweet, but if you’re more the savory type, the soft pretzels are the way to go! Or, you know, ...
Old Danish Fudge Kitchen
Cafe Dolce is the perfect spot to get a sandwich, a coffee or smoothie, and go sit outside to enjoy it. They’ve also got really good ice cream and boba, depending on your cravings. I recommend the horchata boba! (I personally ask them for no boba tho...
Cafe Dolce

This shop is perfect no matter what type of hat you want! They have caps, sun hats, fedoras, silly hats, animal hats, and a bunch of random hats!!

This has always been my sisters favorite store. She collects douglas stuffed animals, and this place is perfect to get them. They have all kinds of stuffed animals, calico critters, horse toys, baby toys, fidgets and rubix cubes, kits, and so much mo...

Half of the store has everything kid + baby clothes, and the other half has everything toys + stuffed animals! The staff is very welcoming and kind, and aren’t afraid to help you out if needed. Perfect shop for a parent to look for baby clothes while...

The coziest book nook for about any genre, and if books aren’t your thing, they have an entire room full of puzzles, board games, and card games! You’re sure to find something you will enjoy. And if you don’t find a book you’re looking for, you can a...

I LOVE this family-run shop. It has everything from crystals, to jewelry, to candles and incense, to even books about anything magick and healing. The community there is so welcoming and kind, and they even offer readings.
