Rebel Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 My son and I are going to LA next week to check out a college he wants to attend. We're also doing the tourist thing and was wondering if any of you have been on one of the whale watching tours while visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific. Did you actually see any whales? Any other suggestions? FYI - We'll be taking the hotel shuttle, taxis, or public transportation if we can figure it out. It will just be the two of us so no littles to worry about. Our plans so far are: fly in Sat. arriving about 1:00, get checked in at our hotel in Hollywood, and check out the surrounding area (Hollywood Blvd., Mann's Chinese Theater) Sun. - we already have tickets to Universal Studios so will spend most of the day there Mon. - LA Zoo from 10-1, back to hotel to clean up, meet with admissions counselor at 3:30 (the zoo is only about 4 miles from our hotel and the college is within walking distance) Tue. - Aquarium of the Pacific and possibly whale watching tour Wed. - fly to San Jose to spend several days with a relative and play tourist with him Sun. - fly back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Haven't been whale watching, but the Aquarium is a very nice one. Hope you have a great time and good luck with the college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I haven't been on one down in LA but whale watching can be very hit-or-miss. If you're going to be seeing a lot of other stuff, I would say skip it. Maybe go have a tour of the Queen Mary and grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants on board.
