Pyramids hold a kind of mysterious allure. Satisfy your kids' curiosity (and your own) when you pay a visit to the Walter Pyramid on the campus of California State University in Long Beach. This architectural attraction is hard to miss as its pyramid shaped structure creates a truly arresting image on the area's skyline. It is only one of three pyramid-shaped buildings in the country and is used for various functions on campus that include sporting events and conferences as well as weddings and even a backdrop for filming commercials and movies.
If you are looking to spend some time outdoors and on the beach but would rather steer away from the crowds and all that goes with it, opt to visit Alamitos Bay Marina. This area is quite beautiful, but it is nicely positioned away from all of the tourist attractions and resorts, which makes it a kind of hidden treasure for outdoor lovers. The views are absolutely amazing and the weather is agreeable nearly every day.
