Top places to visit

1. Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios is one of the oldest working studios in Hollywood. Its doors first opened to paying guests in 1915, when enterprising studio founder Carl Laemmle charged people 25 cents to see silent films being made. You can still see real film-making in action, but there’s so much more to discover and enjoy. Feel your pulse quicken on one of the high-speed thrilling rides.

2. Disney California Adventure® Park

Disney California Adventure® became neighbour to the original Disneyland® in 2001. The concept of this park is to celebrate California’s history and culture in a way that's playful and accessible to all and to present some of Disney’s more recent creations. Certainly, if you've got children in your party, this is likely to be one of their favourite experiences of the holiday. The good news for parents is that Disney California Adventure® is often educational too. Spend at least a day working your way through the rides and activities of this 27-hectare wonderland.
