Stroll through Miniland USA and view various cities and landmarks around the country constructed entirely of LEGO bricks. There's also a medieval area, Egyptian area, water park and splash park.
If you want to enjoy some time at the beach during your stay, Carlsbad State Beach is one of the top spots to go. Popular activities at the beach include beachcombing, surfing, swimming, scuba diving and fishing. This is also a great place to catch the sunset. Every night people head to the bluffs at the north end of the beach to watch the bright colors of the sun sinking below the horizon.
Carlsbad has a great selection of hotels for your stay. You can find luxurious properties just steps from the beach, or you can go for one of the five-star resorts farther inland on the lush hillsides. There are also budget-friendly hotels a few blocks from the beach or conveniently close to the airport.
If you plan on flying into Carlsbad, you'll arrive at McClellan-Palomar Airport. If you'd rather drive here, Interstate 5 runs through the city.
