Here's a look at two superb sites for a family vacation. Although these two locations exist miles and miles apart, both expose the visitor to the treasures of a Channel Island. Both provide a hearty helping of biology and geography. One site also hands the visitor a wonderful opportunity to learn more about certain points in history. Both locations should please that most demanding of tourists, the small child.

There are eight channel islands located off the coast of Ventura, California. Five of the islands make up the Channel Islands National Park. The visitor center for the Channel Islands National Park welcomes hundreds of thousands of travelers annually; however, the actual channel islands are visited by a relative low number of people. The islands are accessible in a variety of ways and their vegetation and animal life make them well worth a trip.
