South Bay Area Tourism: Santa Cruz Mystery Spot

One line review: Worth a stop if it’s a short hop on your way to do other things in Santa Cruz.

The trip took 45 minutes around the SC Hills and through some criss-crossing roads after the entrance. The tour lasted 30-45 minutes around a wooden house up a slope that was worth the $5 we spent on ticket price. There were some pictures taken, a bumper sticker and a fun little day trip to SC. I’d suggest to anyone going there to plan out some other things to do in Santa Cruz because there’s definitely not enough content there to spend a full day on.

With that said, the tour was fun and definitely enjoyable as the tour guide tried her best to crack some well-timed and terribly lame (which made it better) humor to keep the audience interested during the lulls. We went up a steep slope and into a shack that was at the center of the magnetic powers of the area and then back down the slope. Past the made-for-children stories, there wasn’t much else to do other than take pictures with the oddity of surrounding area on your visual senses. Here’s some pics from the trip and with out cool bumper stickers (mine now resides on my work laptop…you know all appropriately and everything).
