Spring break is fast approaching (or is already here for some) which means many of us get a week or two off! A break from worrying about classes — no homework, no studying, no professors, and NO stress. With all this free time, it can sometimes be hard to plan out and do all the activities you want.
If, like me, you're going to be in Southern California this spring break, here are some awesome spots you should plan to visit:
1. Disneyland!
OK, we all knew this was going to be on the list, right? You can't have a list of places to visit in Southern California without mentioning the happiest place on Earth. If you get the chance to visit this theme park, do it.
2. The San Diego Zoo!
This is one of my favorite places to visit when in Southern California. It's so interesting to learn about and see these animals. Plus, if you visit the Safari Park, you can visit the butterfly exhibit during this time of the year and see/interact with all the beautiful butterflies!
3. Crystal Cove State Park!
This is one of the most gorgeous places I've ever traveled to. The view is phenomenal and there are lots of interesting activities to do while you're there. Hiking, swimming, hanging out on the beach, exploring the cliff sides, and cool caves.
4. Universal Studios!
Another amazing theme park in SoCal. Take a tour of show and movie sets, go on fun rides, learn about how some of the most famous films were created, AND visit Harry Potter World. All in one park. Seriously, go — it's worth it.
5. A Beach!
Chances are, you won't go wrong with a beach in Southern California. While some are better than others, they all offer a little piece of paradise that you're going to want to visit this spring break.
6. Santa Monica Pier!
Seriously, this place is spectacular. There are rides, a beach, awesome views, and cool attractions everywhere you look. Plan to visit here for at least a day and enjoy all it has to offer!
7. Six Flags Magic Mountain!
Yes, another theme park, but come on! There are so many great ones in Southern California! Six Flags is definitely more suited for those of us who are thrill seekers and enjoy big and fast moving roller coasters.
