California is the home of many popular tourist destinations in the US. Among its biggest crowd drawers are its family-friendly amusement parks, which include Disneyland Park Anaheim, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, and LEGOLAND California. However, the state boasts of other attractions. A trip to the state would not be complete without taking a snapshot of the Golden Gate Bridge, arguably California’s most iconic landmark. Nature lovers will love exploring Yosemite National Park, where you can see gorgeous waterfalls. Lake Tahoe is just as picturesque with its clear waters. California is also known for its beaches, and you can’t go wrong with paying a visit to Santa Barbara, dubbed the “American Riviera” because of its views.
