The Destination for the Entire Family – Carlsbad, California – Family reunion style travel is continuing to trend. As such, families are looking for destinations that truly offer something for everyone. Traveling with toddlers? Grandma and grandpa? Looking for a destination that really covers all generations? Consider Carlsbad.
It’s just a half-hour to San Diego’s north and situated perfectly on the shores of the Pacific. Carlsbad should definitely be at the top of your list if you’re planning a multigenerational getaway. There are activities for everyone, luxury spas and resorts, roads that don’t mind bike traffic, and seven lush miles of beach that add up to more watersports than you could fit into any one weekend. Not to mention the culinary scene is shaping up nicely.
A little inland, Carlsbad in the spring is a blooming affair – quite literally. Flower Fields is open from March through the end of May and invites families of all sizes to come stroll the fields and view more than 18 different colors of ranunculus, a flower very similar in scent and appearance to the rose. Traveling with teenagers? They’ll love the selfie stations built just for grabbing that insanely perfect Instagram post. Little ones? Take them to the imaginative playground where they can let out some of their endless energy. And the adults in your group will enjoy the poinsettia display. Carlsbad is famous for its poinsettia farms and you’ll get to learn a bit of the history of the unique farms all throughout the city. And just for sheer fun, hop on one of the tractors’ trailers and enjoy an old-fashioned hay ride the whole family will love.
But that’s not all. Did you know there are several lovely lagoons in Carlsbad? Take the family to Carlsbad Lagoon where you can rent paddleboards, kayaks, or motor boats for the water, or if you prefer the dry land, there are scooters offered, too. When you’re ready for something to eat, unpack the picnic you brought and enjoy a shady spot on the shore.
The weather in Carlsbad is near-perfect all year long, there’s a ton of activities, and you’ll find family-friendly accommodations, too. When will you be visiting?
