Stop by a local bakery for a sweet little treat<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in the mood for a treat after all those activities, or just have a bit of a sweet tooth, SLO is home to several tasty local bakeries. An SLO staple is SloDoCo, a donut shop featuring several flavors, seasonal specials (I love the worms n\u2019 soil donut in the fall!), and options for different food preferences. Jackie, the gluten-free food blogger of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glutenfreefollowme.com\/gluten-free-san-luis-obispo\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gluten Free Follow Me<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, recommends SloDoCo, especially for gluten-free eaters: \u201cI&#8217;m gluten-free so I was excited to discover that they make GF donuts! I&#8217;ve tried the GF chocolate, lavender, vanilla, and maple donut flavors, and you can&#8217;t go wrong with any of them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great place for a treat, especially on a warmer day is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/creameryslo.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Creamery Marketplace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a marketplace located behind the intersection of Higuera and Nipomo streets. A best-kept local secret, the open-air market merges the Central Coast\u2019s storied dairy history with a modern experience with several \u201cdiverse eateries, artisan handiwork, and a bustling culinary community \u2013 all hidden in plain sight\u201d according to The Creamery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12. Tour the SLO coast<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides Morro Bay, SLO has its very own bay with equally great tours. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/slo.tours\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLO Tours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers boat adventures in the San Luis Obispo Bay to \u201cexplore Fossil Point Sea Caves, Otter Town, Pelican Jetty, Sea Lion Rock, Smith Island and views of Point San Luis Lighthouse in just one tour\u201d says owner and captain Micheal Brink. The animal sightings and beautiful views make an excursion on the bay more than worthwhile, along with a great way to get familiar with the surrounding nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13. Experience the local art scene<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLO is also home to a vibrant art scene with a special local tradition that occurs on the first Friday of every month and spans across several neighborhoods in SLO. Art After Dark is a self-guided art walk where \u201cthe SLO community is welcome to enjoy visual, literary, and performing art at local businesses and galleries\u201d according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/slocountyarts.org\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLO County Arts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Not only is this a unique opportunity to support local artists and businesses and get connected with the community, but what better way to get immersed in SLO culture than through art?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93789\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93789\" style=\"width: 945px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93789 size-blog-post\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-945x630.jpg\" alt=\"Two people looking at three painting at Art After Dark, a special art experience mentioned in the San Luis Obispo bucket list\" width=\"945\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLO-County-Arts-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of SLO County Arts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14.

Hang out with animals\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLO is also close to animal sanctuaries like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenerpasturessanctuary.org\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Arroyo Grande, which is just a short drive from Downtown SLO. This is the perfect activity for animal lovers of all ages as the farm has a variety of animals to meet from miniature donkeys to goats to sheep to geese to name a few. Since this is a sanctuary, Greener Pastures invites the public to \u201cmeet the rescued animals up close and hear their stories of triumph and forgiveness from docents who work with them weekly.\u201d This experience is guaranteed to warm your heart with the cute animals and inspiring recovery stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ultimate SLO bucket list wouldn\u2019t be complete without a trip to the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. As the first mission founded in the land of the Chumash Native Americans, this place is a special piece of SLO history. Michael of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mklibrary.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MK Library<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommends grabbing a coffee or bite to eat downtown and taking a stroll along the San Luis Obispo Creek Trail. \u201cThere are plenty of spots to sit and enjoy a bit of greenery, with quick access to the local and very unique artistically boutique shops. If you time it right, you can experience the bells from Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa\u201d says Michael. If you want to hear the bells ring up close, we recommend visiting the Mission\u2019s garden for an up-close look at the beautiful architecture to really absorb SLO\u2019s historic roots.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a new or current resident, discover these must-do experiences in our ultimate San Luis Obispo, CA bucket list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":94277,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2656],"tags":[34395,36287,36286],"coauthors":[36288],"class_list":["post-93782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-insights","tag-ca","tag-rid17464","tag-san-luis-obispo"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Ultimate San Luis Obispo, CA Bucket List | Redfin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Whether you\u2019re a new or current resident, discover these must-do experiences in our ultimate San Luis Obispo, CA bucket list.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/san-luis-obispo-bucket-list\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Ultimate San Luis Obispo, CA Bucket List\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Whether you\u2019re a new or current resident, discover these must-do experiences in our ultimate San Luis Obispo, CA bucket list.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/san-luis-obispo-bucket-list\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Redfin | Real Estate Tips for Home Buying, Selling &amp;
