Solvang's attractions lean heavily toward museums celebrating the town's Danish heritage and distinctive history. The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art documents Solvang and the Danish-American immigrant experience, while the Hans Christian Andersen Museum celebrates the Danish author through exhibits and programs. The Solvang Viking Museum showcases authentic Norse artifacts and Viking Age history. Beyond these cultural venues, families can explore the Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum's collection spanning from a 1910 FN to present day, take a scenic hike to the 40-foot waterfall at Nojoqui Falls Park, or visit Ostrichland USA's 32-acre farm home to more than 80 ostriches and 70 emus. For something different, Peasants Deli & Arcade combines food and games, Solvang Trolley & Carriage Company offers narrated tours through the European village and Santa Ynez Valley, and The Ultimate Escape Rooms provides real-life adventure games with puzzles and hidden clues over 60 minutes.
