You can also take your family shopping or enjoy a meal at the surrounding CityWalk Area.
If all of that is too quiet for you, join the studio’s Shrek 4D ride; a 20 minute ride of pure thrill and happy squeals. If your kids are old and tall enough to enjoy a slight scare then the Revenge of the Mummy Ride is bound to be a favorite option. And for a real adventure, complete with a roaring T-rex, the Jurassic park ride will not disappoint.
- LEGOLAND: Kids love LEGO and so what could be a more exciting vacation than visiting LEGOLAND? LEGOLAND ranks highly among popular kid friendly vacations. LEGOLAND is especially suited for kids aged 2 to 12. There are different boat rides, roller coasters and water play fun to be found.

LEGOLAND is not just for kids. There’s something for other members of the family. You can enjoy some of the live shows featuring amazing stunts, tour past Miniland USA or stop by the SEA LIFE Aquarium. And if you should tire of LEGO land, there are neighboring places that you can visit such as the South Carlsbad State Beach and its amazing Cliffside view.

The very first Disneyland, Disneyland California is home to an amazing range of attractions for the family. It offers several vacation packages for people who are on a budget such as the ‘Kids Fly for Free’ deal and accommodation discounts. And once you’re ready to dive into the park, you’ll find a wide range rides including the Screamin’ roller coaster, the Toy Story Mania and Mickey’s fun wheel.
- Beaches: A list of the attractions of South California wouldn’t be the same without a mention of the golden beaches.
