If you are willing to travel a bit out of the main LA area, be sure to add the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden to your destinations list. This gorgeous, 127-acre garden and outdoor oasis is nestled into the low-key San Gabriel town, near the mountains. The Arboretum houses luscious plant collections from all over the world, including many rare and endangered species.
Looking for a more active and interactive tour? Challenge yourself with the Fantastic Race. This unique tour gives sightseeing a competitive edge. Part scavenger hunt, part self-guided tour and part race, the Amazing Los Angeles Race will make you feel as though you are on a reality show for the next 4 to 4.5 hours.
Go to California's largest water park, Raging Waters, for fun in the sun. Located in the San Gabriel Valley, Raging Waters offers a fun-filled day of water activities and recreation for the whole family. Cool off on one of the 36 slides and water attractions, or just relax and soak in the rays at the sand beach. Younger guests will love the Kids' Kingdom and Splash Island.
