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. Knights' Kingdom has activities for little knights and ladies. Don't miss Miniland, famous U.S. landmarks, built entirely out of Lego! For older kids, try out and test your own designs the Imagination Zone. Plus rides for everyone in the family. |

Standing in lines for hours in the summer heat is enough to make anyone cranky, especially the kids. (During the holidays and summer season, the lines are out the door.) Order your tickets online one week or more before you visit, and avoid racking your brain for games to play with your kids while waiting in ticket lines for Legoland: |

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. |
