Things to Do in Calabasas
History and Recreation
- Leonis Adobe Museum – Leonis Adobe is one of the oldest surviving structures in the San Fernando Valley. It was built in 1844 as the private residence of Miguel Leonis, a wealthy rancher. It has since been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now a living museum which transports visitors back in time to a California ranch style of life. A visit there is fun for the entire family and displays what life was like in the 1800s complete with a tour of the barn and blacksmith shop. Younger visitors love the opportunity to meet, pet, and feed many of the ranch’s animals as well.
- Malibu Creek State Park – One of the most stunning locales in the Santa Monica Mountains, 588-acre King Gillette Ranch offers a rare unspoiled view of California’s rich archaeological, cultural, and historic resources, including a Chumash settlement, and nationally significant structures designed for razor magnate King C. Gillette in the 1920’s by Wallace Neff, architect of California’s Golden Age. Situated at the lower end of the Las Virgenes Valley in the heart of the Malibu Creek Watershed, this scenic parkland is a haven for larger mammals of the Santa Monica Mountains. The broad meadows and low ridgelines serve as a wildlife movement corridor or hub in the geographic center of the range. Nine sensitive species are present. Raptors and other birds forage and nest among the plant communities of valley and coast live oak, grassland, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, riparian woodland, and southern willow riparian vegetation.
- Calabasas Senior Center – The Calabasas Senior Center provides a gathering place for senior men and women, 50 years and older, where they can enjoy activities that contribute to continued learning and enrichment, socialization with other seniors, and participation in recreational programs that promote healthy lifestyles.
