I've always driven past Carlsbad and never stopped; because of this video, it's on my list.

Love Carlsbad and your tour of it. Thank you. Also, as a geologist I appreciated you going to the Calaveras Volcano and sharing. It was one of my favorite finds last time I was there. Appreciate your great videos!

Born in SoCal and never been to Carlsbad. It looks like a real fun trip, thanks for taking us along.

Vinaka was my daily visit from like 2004 to 2009. I'm not too far from it now, but so much of the area has changed so much. It's a little less my vibe now than it used to be, but it does seem like it's become a better tourist spot than it ever was. Windmill Food Hall is one of the best things they added to Carlsbad over the years. Two things you should visit: The Craftmanship museum is an unassuming hidden gem filled with tiny recreations of complex things. A little out of town: San Marcos Double Peak Park. Stunning views that you can just drive right up too. A great view of a lot of north san diego county.

Incredible video! I absolutely love Carlsbad. My husband even proposed to me after eating at Campfire! It's my favorite restaurant and their broccoli is life changing isn't it?! I just moved out of California and very much appreciate your videos and enjoying CA's beauty 😊

"This is the best day ever." As a parent, there are few things, if any, that are better to hear than that. Melts the heart. I live less than a 10 minute drive from the Museum of Making Music and am ashamed to say that I've yet to visit it. Thanks for the reminder to correct that. One renowned thing you missed is Carlsbad Alkaline Water near downtown. Bring your own container to fill with famously great water for $1/gallon. There's also the Gemological Institute of America. p.s., You took the funnest route at the volcano.

I agree, it was so cute to have them say that multiple times! I will treasure those videos for sure. I forgot about the water, I need to do that next time!

@lenore3072 27 күн бұрын

Thanks for the tip about the murals. I never knew that and have to check them out. Batiquitos Lagoon is also a good place to visit and the trails are easy enough for kids.

Love this video! So timely for my family as my daughter, her husband,and my 5 year old daughter are moving to Carlsbad in a couple of weeks after having lived in Utah the past 10 years. My granddaughter is a little apprehensive. I sent this video to the kids and now she’s jazzed at all the cool adventures you showed the twins enjoying (those two are felony cute). Thanks for a great video…my granddaughter is making a Carlsbad “bucket list” based on your Carlsbad adventures as I write this.

We were in Carlsbad just 2 months ago and went to Legoland and the Aquarium. Lots of fun! My 7 year old son particularly enjoyed their Ninja shooting ride Ninjago. Such a beautiful area. Wish we could live there. It is quite an upscale area.

Carlsbad is also a great "rest" stop for those going to SD from OC or LA area the premium outlets especially, beats any rest stop plus the shopping ain't bad either.

Thanks for the kind words! We had a lot of fun exploring the area with the kids and it is fun that they are old enough to have their own opinions about stuff which is cool to see

Only thing you forgot was the Carlsbad Aquafarm. I think it's the only place you can get fresh oysters in California other than Tomales Bay in Point Reyes 🙂
