Local Attractions

I'm posting local attractions here because Angela and I both know that most of you are from out of town. Below you will be able to see theme parks, historic sites and some great restaurants. If you want to know about anything that I haven't listed here, let me know.

Disneyland
Located in Anaheim, approximately 45 minutes away from Angela's and Scott's home. Tickets can run upward of $100 dollars for a day, but exploring the whole park can easily take more than a day.

Address and phone number:

1313 Disneyland Drive

Anaheim, CA 92802

(714) 781-4565

California Adventure
This park is adjacent to and a subsidiary of Disneyland. It's a great park but it is a lot smaller than Disneyland, the park can be covered in a single. For more information check the Disneyland website.

Universal Studios
To be honest, Universal Studios is not what it used to be. The rides are just alright and it is a dying park. That being said the lines are very short. Tickets start at $84 and are available on http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/tickets/type/most-popular/

Address and phone number:

100 Universal City Plaza

Universal City, CA 91608

(800) 864-8377

Six Flags
Six flags is great, but some people don't like it. In my opinion, with rides like the Viper and the Goliath you can't go wrong with this park. Tickets start at just $42 if you buy at least three days in advance.

Address and phone number:

26101 Magic Mountain Pkwy

Valencia, CA 91355

(661) 255-4100

www.sixflags.com (it's the Magic Mountain location)

Knott's Berry Farm
Knott's Berry Farm is a fun park and has had rides like the Riddler and Xtreme Scream. Many rides there are fun even if you take them several times in the same day. Tickets start at $39 if you buy online.

Address and phone number:

8039 Beach Blvd

Buena Park, CA 90620

(714) 220-5200

Raging Waters
Raging Waters is the largest water theme park in Southern California. This theme park is within walking distance from Kelly and Dave Osterhout's home in San Dimas (near where the shower is being held). There are many things to do there, ranging from the Lazy River to a near vertical water slide. Tickets start at $39.

Address and phone number:

111 Lakeside Road

San Dimas, CA 91773

(909) 802-2200

There are many other theme parks farther north and south of our general area but you usually need to drive 2+ hours to get there. Aside from theme parks there are also a plethora of state and municipal parks in the area, including the Angeles National Forest in Azusa (Azusa is a city that is less than a twenty minute drive from San Dimas), dozens of parks in Long Beach (where Angela and Scott live), and, of course, many beaches to the west. Keep in mind that swimming in the water in Long Beach is not recommended due to the high traffic port located in the city. However, swimming, surfing and boogy boarding is perfectly safe in the beaches immediately to the north and south. There are also many historic sites in Long Beach, San Dimas and everywhere in between; a simple google search will reveal many of these sites.
