Chinese New Year in California

When Chinese New Year begins on Friday, January 31, 2014, there’s only one place where you are going to want to be...well one state anyway. California is quite possibly the best place in the continental United States to celebrate Chinese New Year and with (at least) three great cities to visit - San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco – there is plenty to do for all ages. San Diego

San Diego is famous for its inhabitants’ laid-back attitudes and near-perfect weather, but it also has a ton of great attraction offerings as well. To get the most out of your time in the city with your family or group, check out the San Diego Family Attractions package by Smart Destinations and save 34% on admission to the Natural History Museum, Fleet Science Center, Boomers and a Harbor Tour! San Diego is full of many educational attractions and museums. Also known as the Natural History Museum, the NAT is currently home to a fascinating exhibit entitled “Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age.” The exhibition is full of fun facts about wooly-mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, gigantic bears and humans. The Fleet Science Center houses more than 100 interactive science exhibits spread out across eight dazzling galleries and also has the world’s first IMAX Dome Theater. For even more fun activities, there’s Boomers. Full of family-friendly rides and attractions, guests of the park can enjoy Go Karts, Bumper Boats, Batting Cages, a Game Room, a Miniature Golf Course and an upside-down, tandem ride called the Flame Thrower.
