Things to do/see in Long Beach?

daisha · May 28th, 2013, 09:37 AM

I know that there's a good number of people here from the SoCal area, so I figured I would ask - what should I do or see in Long Beach? I'll be going there for work this weekend/early next week.

Any suggestions?

Go visit The Queen Marry ship, take a walk along the beach and check out the tourist shops at the beach.
Great city. I used to live there many years ago.

There's also the aquarium; I don't know how it is compared to the one in Boston though. Never went in when I lived in Boston (stared at the penguins outside one time at like 2am but that's about it).

I've also never been to the aquarium in Boston. I just moved here from MN, so there's been a whole lot of new things coming my way lately! It's on my list of Boston things to see though!

I'll definitely check out the Queen Mary - its pretty close to the convention center, so I could probably wander over around lunch time!

Is the Spruce Goose still there, or did they move it?

Nope, the Spruce Goose has been moved up the coast to I believe Washington State.
