Floral Wonderland at the Flower Fields, Carlsbad

The great thing about living in Orange County is that places like the Floral Wonderland in Carlsbad are just a short trip away! If you have the opportunity, the Flower Fields in Carlsbad are a sight to behold for the whole family. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty with 55 acres of colorful ranunculus flowers. It’s a great place to enjoy with the entire family and also a fantastic spot for photos!

Disneyland in Bloom

Springtime is one of my favorite times of year to enjoy local theme parks! And our favorite place to go is Disneyland Park. During this time of year, Disneyland is adorned with vibrant flowers, topiaries, and seasonal decor. Did you know that Disneyland even has its own rose? Their rose is in full display this time of year! It’s the perfect time to enjoy the rides, eat some great food (churros or corn dogs on Main St.), and soak in the beautiful California sun!

Dana Point Whale Watching

The awesome thing about Orange County is that Spring brings the migration of gray whales along the California coast. We definitely recommend making your way to Dana Point for a whale-watching excursion to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. It’s really cool to see these powerful animals pass through! Definitely one of the best spring break activities Orange County offers!

Art Walks in Laguna Beach

Head down to Laguna Beach and explore the artistic side of Orange County by strolling through the galleries and art studios in Laguna Beach. Many places host regular art walks, providing the perfect opportunity to discover new talents, buy local artisan’s works, or even get involved in art projects!

Hiking in Crystal Cove State Park

Head over to the Newport Coast in Orange County and enjoy the blooming wildflowers and coastal views by taking a hike in Crystal Cove State Park. It’s one of my favorite places to hike in Southern California. With a variety of trails suitable for different fitness levels, it’s an excellent way to connect with nature and take advantage of the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean!
