California Family Destination Guide

Amtrak Pacific Coastliner trains run from San Diego all the way up to San Luis Obispo.  Taking a family trip on these  sleek double deck trains is a great way to see the California coast.  In some areas the train tracks run parallel to the beach for miles and miles.  (Be sure to ask your train conductor which side of the train to sit on for the best view.) A trip from Anaheim to San Diego will take a little under three hours and the train will reach a top speed of 79 mph. Not fast compared to high speed trains of Europe and Japan, but the California scenery can not be matched anywhere in the world. For a fun family adventure away from your car consider taking the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.

Sea Life Aquarium is the second attraction at Legoland California. The new addition to the park is a two-story building which has over 36,000 square feet filled with ocean displays. Highlights include a ocean display and a -foot-long acrylic ocean tunnel allows visitors to walk through and experience the “lost city” without ever getting wet. two-story aquarium has over 36,000 square feet filled with ocean displays.

Legoland is located between San Diego and Los Angeles and vacationers can visit attractions in both cities while staying in the quite coastal town of Carlsbad. For lucky locals Sea Life Aquarium is another added perk to living in sunny Southern California. Legoland and Sea Life Aquarium Discount Tickets
