California vacation with family
We are a family of adventure seekers, travel junkies, mini expedition experts sharing our California Perspective. We are determined to see every fascinating and less known place and write mini-reflections regarding our experience. Specifically, we’d like to accent the accessibility of a particular location with children and whether it was worth the time.
California is a woven bottomless basket where you will ultimately find the finest elements of cultures from all over the world. The state continuously evolves and reinvents itself. The land has changed ownership multiple times going from Native Americans to Spain to Mexico and finally to the United States.
Thus, you will find elements of every culture around the world brought together under one roof. You will have a chance to experience the local cuisine & libations. Venture outside of your expectation and you will be pleasantly surprised once you try something new.
Things to see in California with kids
The age of exploration is long over, however, many parents travel with their children to build memories and discover the golden state for themselves. We created a map with pins of the spots we’ve visited which you can use to better navigate around California for your upcoming explorations.
Furthermore, we made easily printable checklists based on particular locations to make your research of place to see in the golden state with kids a bit easier.
Following our micro-adventures, we came to the conclusion that not every place is child-oriented. West Coast has some of the most unique places that you absolutely must-see. Although there will be a few constraints to consider since you’re going to be traveling with little ones.
Traveling with kids can be enjoyable and fun. Nevertheless, a perfect vacation takes a bit of preparation and our California Perspective blog is a useful place to start your planning.
Parents don’t always have the time to find all the fun places to see with kids. We did all the heavy lifting for you and focused on some of the coolest spots to visit in various parts of California with your children.
