Legoland California – Legoland is "all the
Lego you could want," in one place. The park has all kinds of activities,
and is especially fun for younger kids. Little kids will like the Explore
Village, a fairy tale boat ride, and water play area (bring your swim suits).

Bigger kids will want to head for driving school. Castle Hill has activities
for little knights and ladies. Don't miss Miniland, famous U.S. landmarks,
built entirely out of Lego. Plus rides for everyone in the family. |

In the Imagination Zone, Build & Test is one of our favorite sections in Legoland - older kids can try out and test their own designs! Our kids could spend the whole day here. If you also have toddlers along, there's a toddler room next door to keep them happy. |

 SeaLife Aquarium – Next door to Legoland is the SeaLife Aquarium with marine life of the California coast. Watch sharks swimming around LEGO submarines and 10 ft statues. In the Ray Lagoon, manta rays glide through Mayan ruins. Touch sea anemones and starfish in the touch pools, and don't miss the feedings of the giant Pacific octopus. Aquarium is best for younger kids. |

The Flower Fields (Carlsbad Ranch) – North County
is famous for its flower fields, bright swaths of color, as far as the eye
can see. From March to May, visit the Flower Fields. There are wide
paths to run around, or take a ride around the fields in an antique tractor
(it's a big area). Photograph your children in the fields, surrounded by
acres of flowers. There are picnic tables and you can get strawberry shortcake
(topped with local strawberries and whipped cream)! |

Museum of Making Music – If anyone in your family is interested
in music, stop into the Museum of Making Music. The museum has instruments,
from 19th century organs to Big Band saxophones to electric guitars to
digital keyboards. Try playing the digital piano, drums, guitar or electric
violin. |

Beaches – Both Carlsbad State Beach and Carlsbad
City Beach are long sandy beaches, and kids can easily spend all day playing
in the water. Easy stairway access to both beaches, grassy areas and picnic
tables. Kick back and relax. |

Carlsbad Lagoon – The Carlsbad Lagoon is the perfect place to kayak, go pedal boating and paddleboarding, or just have fun with those big aqua cycles (the water is calm and protected). |
