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.

Art is born out of both inspiration and reflection. A specific geographic area can inspire the creation of some truly amazing art as well as reflect the attitudes and feelings of a particular point in time. Nowhere is that more obvious than at Long Beach's Museum of Latin American Art. These works seem to come alive with both a dimensionality and a spiciness that gives them a personality all their own. The facility was founded in 1996 and holds the distinction of being the only museum of its kind in the United States.

Taking a tour is always an adventure, but take that experience to new heights when you see it all from a bird's eye view on board the Island Express Helicopter tour. See the Long Beach coastline, rugged scenery and calming Pacific Ocean waves, among many other sights, when you cruise over the area in a state-of-the-art helicopter. Your pilot's first priority is your safety, and he will also be able to answer any questions you may have along the way.
