IT'S SoFun IN SoCal! 4 Reasons Why Southern California Is Perfect For Family Travel

Travelling with the family doesn’t have to be a burden. Forget the long car trips, fighting siblings and the echoes of “are we there yet”.

Viva Holidays have the answer that will turn family holidays from ‘nay’ to ‘yay’ and it all starts with sunny Southern California!

They’ve put together two super-inclusive packages perfect for Aussie families that showcase the best of SoCal without completely busting the budget!

DO LA THE FAMILY FRIENDLY WAY

There is much more to the city of angels than just the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Kardashians. It’s a mecca for family adventures, appealing to those that are big kids at heart.

Check out the family-friendly experience at The Garland hotel or if you fancy staying right amongst it look at the Quality Inn, just past the Walk of Fame.

Spot wildlife at LA Zoo or “meet” the celebrities at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Who said learning can’t be fun? Let the kiddies (and big kiddies) discover new worlds at the California Science Centre. Or head coast side and discover the beauty of nearby Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Park, the oceanfront amusement park.

From the larger than life characters roaming the park to the adrenaline-inducing roller coasters and the world’s best firework performance, there is no surprise that Disneyland continues to top of bucket lists worldwide. Just be prepared to be hooked on the magic of Disney for the rest of your life!

ANAHEIM: WHAT A PLACE TO STAY

More than just the base for Disneyland, Anaheim is the perfect place for families to relax and enjoy some quality time together. Most hotels in Anaheim offer family-friendly facilities for those days when you just don’t feel like moving far.

The Castle Inn and Suites make you feel like you’re in your very own fairytale with its Renaissance-themed lobby and castle facade. The Anaheim Marriott is the perfect option if you don’t want to face the crowds of Disneyland but need to keep the kids occupied.
