Regardless of whether this is your very first time going to this area of the state or your hundredth, there are numerous southern California attractions for you to have fun with and take advantage of. Take into account the many options in order to find the best match to meet your needs, or even better yet, hit them all to make your trip one to remember. You might be travelling on your own, with your significant other, with friends or with young kids; there will be something for everyone in southern California.

The southern California attractions you've probably heard about normally include Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and Disney’s California Adventure. All of these are the big ticket parks that provide you with a very good value for your money and allow you to enjoy quite a bit in a short period of time and area. For those who have not been before, consider adding these sights to your itinerary.

Disneyland is difficult to do in one day, so in order to get the most out of your trip, don't forget to plan a few days to see it all. Any time you are in a hurry, don't forget to purchase a FastPass—which can help you avoid the lines at the popular rides, for example Indiana Jones Adventure, Splash Mountain and the Matterhorn. Even though it is best to get these popular rides done early in the day (any time there are less people) a pass like that can help you if you decide to visit during busy hours or on a weekend.

If you're heading to Disneyland, start thinking about planning your trip around your kids (when you are going with them) so that you can have a good time. Remember, whenever your kids have fun, you are going to too. Here is an example, if your daughter would like to visit Sleeping Beauty’s castle, smile and bear it even if you want to ride Indiana Jones’ Adventure, over and over. There are many food locations along the way, so if you are there for the entire day, your children won’t get grouchy when you are at Happiest Place on Earth.

Universal Studios Hollywood provides a ton in one location, and if you’re staying in southern California, it truly is something you will not want to skip. It includes theme park rides and shows for you to enjoy and an operating movie studio that offers you a realistic experience. Universal Studios Hollywood is fantastic for your entire family, and it is a unique experience you will have to try at least once.

To get the most out of Universal Studios Hollywood, go on the studio tour and don't forget to experience King Kong 360 3D. There is a new special effects stage that will get you behind the scenes and the old favorites, like Jurassic Park, are usually a hit with children and grown- ups alike.

Adjacent to Disneyland Park, and a section of the Disneyland resort, Disney’s California Adventure is one thing you'll want to see when you are heading to southern California. It is supposed to mimic parts of California, including the landmarks and history, Disney’s California Adventure consist of five parts: Sunshine Plaza, The Golden State, Paradise Pier, Hollywood Pictures Backlot and A Bug’s Land.

Whether you are visiting Disney’s California Adventure, Disneyland itself, Universal Studios Hollywood or something else that southern California offers, you will see that there is a world of enjoyment available when you are searching for it.
