The Mystery Spot Santa Cruz?!
You walk in thinking it’s just a normal cabin… and then suddenly nothing makes sense. At the Mystery Spot, you’re watching balls roll uphill, water flow the wrong way, and somehow people change height right in front of you. And even when you know it’s an illusion… your brain still won’t accept it

Most of these photos are from the Neptune’s Kingdom mini golf but there’s a TON of things to do on the boardwalk! You can go on a log ride, classic fair rides and of course enjoy the beach. The boardwalk is open certain days of the year so check the website before going. #santacruzboardwalk
