Long Beach is a diverse city that has many attractions, restaurants, and fun events throughout the year. It is also one of the most culturally diverse areas of Southern California, packed with museums, educational institutions and attractions. Finding senior discounts for all that Long Beach has to offer is simple if you know where to look. Seeing as how we are estate planning attorneys in Long Beach, we wanted to give our seniors a heads up on some of the discounts they can enjoy around the city!
AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC
The Aquarium of the Pacific brings the ocean indoors, with thousands of varieties of fish, sharks, seahorses and other ocean-going creatures. Enjoy viewing baby penguins, explore sea lion habitats and watch sea otters at play at this Southern California marvel. Seniors enjoy daily discounts of $3 off regular adult admission and pay only $26.95 for entry.
THE QUEEN MARY
One of the most famous landmarks in Long Beach is of course the Queen Mary, a boutique hotel onboard a cruise ship. Your ship won’t sail from the port, but you will still get the “at sea” experience in a stateroom replete with porthole windows, all you can eat buffets and live entertainment. The Queen Mary is in the center of it all, just steps from the Aquarium of the Pacific and a short ride from breathtaking Catalina Island.
Prices vary based on your room type but senior tours of The Queen Mary are available.
THE CATALINA EXPRESS
Just 22 miles from the coast of Long Beach is Catalina Island. This island features watersports, boating, dining and shopping in a tropical paradise. The Catalina Express is a luxury yacht that will get you there in style in just under an hour. Schedule a round trip and enjoy a day on the island while relaxing under a warm California sun. Upgrade to the Commodore or Captain’s Lounge for priority boarding, a relaxing private space and complimentary beverage.
Pricing starts at $33.25 for seniors.
ART THEATER OF LONG BEACH
The Art Theater of Long Beach is one of the most historic theaters in the city, and shows both cult classics and independent films. The theater is located in downtown Long Beach, and is centrally located in what has been dubbed “Retro Row,” — an area packed with shopping, dining and entertainment.
Senior tickets for showings are $8.50 for evening and matinee shows.
LONG BEACH SEGWAY TOURS
There is no better way to see all that SoCal has to offer than through a segway tour. Cruise around on your own personal segway and view beachfront, shopping districts and outdoor dining while relaxing and taking in the warm Southern California air. A 2-hour downtown tour will show you all of the sights and sounds of the area and you can go at your own pace.
Pricing starts at $79 per tour.
Long Beach is a magnet for visitors of all ages, and you can find excellent senior discounts on tours, dining, shopping and accommodations.
