Looking to get outta Dodge for a couple of days? Why not mix it up this weekend at some of these great So Cal spots:
Catch a concert in the park or stop in to visit one of the many cool museums, including Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the Museum of Man.
Catch a glimpse of Mother Nature’s largest, most exotic creatures on these whale watching excursions out of Newport Beach.
Take a walk down the historic boardwalk at the Newport Beach Pier for some local flavor. A collection of surf shops dot the area, as well as bike rental stands.
Fine seaside dining and an eclectic mix of shopping outlets make this a fun, breezy way to spend the day in San Diego.
Stroll the vibrant hallways of this celebrated museum and take in the highlights and traditions from cultures around the world.
Journey through the world’s deepest, darkest, most mysterious places at the ocean’s floor. There are tons of programs for kids and adults, alike.
Perched on a sun-drenched hillside over-looking the San Diego harbor is an historic lighthouse that has overlooked lost ships for over 100 years.
Merry-go-rounds and railroads make this Los Angeles hot spot fun and unique place to bring the whole family.
