From the Flower Fields to LEGOLAND, No One in the Family Is Left Out!
Is it just us, or do these winter days seem to stretch on and on? Cue the sunshine and spring weather! Spring break is on the horizon, and we’re on the edge of our seats. It’s time to plan the ultimate getaway, and we know you’re looking for something that pleases the entire family. Finding the perfect place to vacation can be a daunting task, but let The Cassara Carlsbad enter the chat! This North County hotel boasts all the onsite amenities (including two pools!) and is just minutes away from Carlsbad’s best attractions. With LEGOLAND nearby along with The Flower Fields blooming, not to mention Carlsbad’s stunning beaches, The Cassara will win over every member of your crew. Here are six reasons we love this Carlsbad hotel for a spring break getaway with the fam.
The Flower Fields Are in Full Bloom
An iconic San Diego landmark, The Flower Fields in Carlsbad will leave you reveling in spring cheer. Vibrant stripes of sunset-shaded ranunculus stretch for 50 acres and only bloom for a short time. Peak season is from March to May—just in time for spring break! Adult tickets are $23 and children are just $14 for the 2024 season. The best part? While staying at The Cassara, the fields are in your backyard! Take a walk along the hotel’s adjacent pathways for sweeping views of the fields, and be sure to take advantage of the hotel’s seasonal Stay and See offer! This includes overnight accommodations, two tickets to The Flower Fields, two welcome beverages (featuring the Flower Power Sour), a box of edible flower chocolate bonbons from Seabreeze Chocolates and waived parking fees.
Local Insight: Before your visit to The Flower Fields, be sure to check out their 2024 activity calendar, which features unique springtime events like Flower Flow Yoga, Flower Crown Workshops, Sunset Wine Tastings and more!
Two Pools to Make a Splash In
At The Cassara, there is plenty of space for kids to act like kids without looks from other guests. Head to the family pool, where kids can splash to their heart’s content and play all afternoon at the splash pad (look out for the spray cannons)! Over at the main pool, find vacation bliss with stunning coastal views, poolside beverage service and shady cabanas to relax in. There are even lap lanes to fit in a vacay workout! Lounge the day away, then cozy up by the crackling fire pits at night.
Activity Center for the Kids
Get a mini parent retreat with the help of The Cassara’s activity center for kids. Open everyday from 8 a.m to 9 p.m., this fun spot will keep your kiddos entertained with activities like basketball scrimmages and arcade competitions. They will even have the opportunity to craft—think painting picture frames and building birdhouses. But the best part (depending on who you ask) is that all activities end with a sweet treat. Hello ice cream sundaes and root beer floats!
Places to Wine + Dine
Experience the flavors of Greece without leaving SoCal. The mosaic tiles and Mediterranean menu at the Cassara Kitchen & Bar will take you from San Diego to Santorini. The restaurant delights guests with dishes like the smoked salmon dip, skirt steak and smoked chicken mascarpone ravioli. The Strawberry Cucumber Collins and Rest in Peach cocktails are perfect spring sippers and pair well with just about anything on the menu. Karl Strauss Brewing Company is also located across from the hotel and is great for a relaxed bite any time of day. If fireside drinks and bites are your jam, Campfire is a cozy spot for some comfort food, and we also love Park 101 for its expansive outdoor spaces that are both kid-friendly and dog-friendly!
Proximity to the Beach + Local Attractions LEGOLAND
While staying at The Cassara, you’ll have access to the best of Carlsbad with a parent-of-the-year-worthy itinerary. Stop one: LEGOLAND! The park’s SEA LIFE Aquarium will keep your kids entertained for hours, while the dragon coaster offers more of a thrill. Be the first in the park and get ahead of the lines as LEGOLAND is just a 3-minute drive, or a short walk across the street via the pedestrian entrance from The Cassara. For stop two, pack your beach bags and spend a day on the soft sand at Terramar Beach or Carlsbad State Beach. Parking is free, and both are in proximity to local restaurants and shops.
Fun for the Adults
When we say The Cassara is the perfect place for families, we mean it—parents included! While the kids have a blast at the activity center, rejuvenate your mind and body at the stunning Ocean Pearl Spa. This wellness haven is located at the nearby Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa, and The Cassara offers a complimentary shuttle to take you there. Marine botanicals will give you a revitalizing reset, and after days in the sun, you’ll want to replenish your skin with a signature Sunset Treatment and Hydrating Facial. Carlsbad is also home to some of the best championship golf courses! Tee up at The Crossings at Carlsbad for an 18-hole round amidst Carlsbad’s coastal terrain.
