What to do and see in Camarillo, California (CA): The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
Camarillo (/ˌkæməˈriːoʊ/ KAM-ə-REE-oh) is a city in Ventura County in the U.S. state of California. The population was 65,201 at the 2010 census, up from 57,084 at the 2000 census. The Ventura Freeway (U.S. Route 101) is the city's primary thoroughfare. Camarillo is named for Adolfo and Juan Camarillo, two of the few Californios (pre-1848 California natives of Hispanic ancestry) to preserve the city's heritage after the arrival of Anglo settlers. The railroad coast route came through in 1898 and built a station here. Adolfo Camarillo eventually employed 700 workers growing mainly lima beans. Walnuts and citrus were also grown on the ranch. Adolfo bred Camarillo White Horses in the 1920s through the 1960s and was well known for riding them, dressed in colorful Spanish attire, in parades such as the Fiesta of Santa Barbara.

Any library is a great place for any age group to visit and enjoy, but the Camarillo Library especially because of the beautiful Spanish design. The tile work is a replica of the Adamson House in Malibu. It's a magnificent experience.

Hundreads of shops well organized. Need couple of hours to walk through. Parking is located near the stores but during weekend if you don't come early you won't find parking easily. Prices are OK sometime good bargains can be found. Shop till you drop!!.s

This small but mighty museum is awesome. So much to read and see and some airplanes are on display. Even more, a knowledgable docent will take you out to the runway to see other planes. Very exciting!!!
