Nowhere in the world will you find such a wealth of great theme parks as in Southern California. And the good news is there’s fun for everyone, from toddlers to seniors. Want to see the best the region has to offer without worrying about transport? No problem! Get picked up at your hotel and whisked away with, of course, a return journey after your day of carefree fun. Here are six of the best options.
Starting at the top, in every sense, is Six Flags Magic Mountain. This popular theme park north of Los Angeles has an amazing sixteen roller coasters, including the tallest and fastest stand-up roller coaster in the world and rides saluting superheroes Batman and Superman.
More movie magic awaits at Hollywood’s Universal Studios, where much-loved favorites of the big (and small) screen come to life. Go behind the scenes and see the special effects and stunts which have entertained millions, then take to the spectacular rides which pay tribute to horror, action adventure and cartoon classics.
In Orange County’s Buena Park, you can take your fun wet or dry, but either way you’ll be shaken and stirred. The rides at Knott’s Berry Farm have all sorts of inventive ways to turn you inside out and upside down, while adjacent Knott’s Soak City does the same, but with water. Lots of water.
Even the smallest members of the family can
indulge in wet and wild fun at Legoland California’s Water Park. What’s
more there are whole miniature cities made from Lego and over 40 rides
in seaside Carlsbad’s premier attraction.
Finally, continue on down the coast to reach San Diego. Getting there really is half the fun; your journey takes you along the majestic California coast with great views around every turn. And once you arrive the ocean’s mightiest creatures, including Shamu the world-famous killer whale, are waiting to welcome you at SeaWorld.
It was really a worthwhile option to take (with transport) as the whole experience was really fun ! Thank you, Viator ! :o)
