Sensorio at Night, Estrella Warbirds & Woodland Auto — Minutes from CaliBNB
Paso Robles • Family‑run stays

Three must‑dos within ~10 minutes: Sensorio’s glow after dark • Estrella Warbirds • Woodland Auto Display

From dreamy night lights on rolling hills to kids climbing into vintage cockpits and an incredible race‑car collection—these are our favorite “wow” outings near our Paso Robles home.

Our take on Sensorio (at night) — pure magic

Approx. 10–15 minutes from our place • Best at sunset → night • Family & date‑night friendly

We like to arrive just before sunset—golden light over the hills, a quick snack and drink on the lawn—and then watch as the exhibits begin to glow. Walking the easy paths feels like stepping into a dream: thousands of color‑shifting orbs scattered across the fields, geometric lanterns pulsing softly, towers humming with light and sound. It’s calm, photogenic, and honestly one of those “you have to see it” experiences. Our tip: bring a light jacket, wear comfy shoes, and plan 60–90 minutes to wander slowly and take photos.

Estrella Warbirds Museum — our kid‑approved adventure

Approx. 10–15 minutes from our place • Interactive outdoor & indoor exhibits • Great for kids

This is a hit with families. You get the wow of real aircraft up close, restored military vehicles, and docents with great stories. Outside, kids can peek into cockpits and vehicles (museum rules posted on‑site), which turns history into hands‑on discovery. Inside, exhibits are packed with stories—perfect for curious minds. Plan 1.5–2 hours; bring sun hats for the outdoor yard.

Woodland Auto Display — a must for car lovers

Right next to Estrella Warbirds • Included with Warbirds admission • Focused on racing history

Adjacent to the Warbirds, the Woodland Auto Display houses an evolving collection of historic race cars, classics, and motorcycles curated by vintner and enthusiast Richard “Dick” Woodland. From sprint and midget racers to NASCAR legends and rare one‑offs, it’s a unique collection that delights both hardcore gearheads and casual visitors. We usually budget at least an hour here—longer if you (or your kids!) love race cars.
