SeaWorld San Diego in San Diego, California, is the original SeaWorld park and has been part of Mission Bay since 1964. What started as a marine park built around aquariums, animals and live shows has changed significantly over the years. Roller coasters and thrill rides have become a major part of the park, while its connection to the ocean remains visible throughout.

Emperor, Electric Eel, Manta and Arctic Rescue make up a varied coaster lineup, joined by the longtime favorite Journey to Atlantis. SeaWorld’s original focus is still very much present as well, with large aquariums and habitats featuring sharks, penguins, dolphins, sea lions and many other species. The park’s location along Mission Bay provides a fitting backdrop, with water and coastal views never far away.

SeaWorld San Diego has come a long way since 1964. What was once primarily a marine park is now a place where you can spend the morning watching dolphins and penguins and the afternoon riding some of San Diego’s largest roller coasters.

Operated by:Merlin Entertainments Group


Legoland California in Carlsbad, just north of San Diego, was the first LEGOLAND park to open in the United States. Since welcoming its first guests in 1999, the park has grown into a full resort while remaining firmly focused on families with younger children. LEGO models and playful details can be found throughout the park, giving even the simpler rides their own distinctive character.

At the heart of the park is Miniland USA, where millions of LEGO bricks recreate famous landmarks and cities from across the country. Around it, visitors will find a wide variety of family rides, interactive attractions and several small roller coasters, including Coastersaurus and The Dragon. Over the years, new themed areas have expanded the park beyond the traditional LEGO themes, while the adjacent water park and SEA LIFE Aquarium add even more to the resort.

LEGOLAND California is very much a park designed around children rather than thrill seekers. Its combination of LEGO-themed attractions, hands-on experiences and an impressive amount of detail makes it particularly enjoyable for families looking to spend a full day – or more – at the resort.
