The Golden State is big and beautiful, whether you want to play at the beach, visit one of California’s amazing theme parks, camp under the stars, or hit the slopes in the winter. The state’s natural beauty and diverse attractions also make it the perfect place to plan a family road trip. (Consider letting the young ones help chart a course.) And take advantage of the state’s culinary diversity by trying new dishes on your way to one of the many zoos, aquariums, or family-friendly museums.Â
