Most families heading to Southern California plan a stop at Disneyland, but the Anaheim Resort area is a great home away from home comprising other spring break ideas as well. From the myriad theme parks, to the marinelife education at SeaWorld, the wildlife adventures at the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park and more, there is a lot of fun to be had in the region.
Who knows this better than the Hilton Anaheim Hotel? As the largest hotel in the Anaheim Resort District with 1,576 guestrooms, the Hilton works hard to fill them by keeping up with everything going on in town. Between winter and spring break, take advantage of the Hilton Anaheim's "Snowbirds + Sun Tans" accommodation package, that enables you to select an offer based on your interest in skiing, surfing... or both.

Last but not least at all, the Loews Coronado Bay, a beautiful oceanfront property with a large marina, gives families a choice of any of the "Pick Your Park" deals which include a newly renovated double room and two adult theme park tickets to your choice of Legoland, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo or SeaWorld. We priced a midweek April stay including zoo tickets and free WiFi at $265/night. Other spring offers at the hotel include sailing lessons, suite upgrades and more -- good value for such a posh resort.
Worried about starving over spring break? The crew from "Top Chef" just finished shooting their new season in California, and we got ahold of their top picks for foodies. The gourmet fish tacos at many eateries, a refined meal at Juniper and Ivy helmed by chef Richard Blais, and “Top Chef” Brian Malarkey’s Searsucker in the Gaslamp Quarter -- known for its fresh seafood and locally crafted brews -- topped their short list.
