What would you do in Long Beach if you had 6-8 hours to kill

[SandS204ever]

We will be getting off the Splendor in December and have a 6:15 flight out of Long Beach Airport. What would you suggest doing to kill some time. It will be just the wife and I. We will have two bags and a backpack as well.

 

Does the Queen Marry have someplace to stash our bags while we look around?

I enjoyed the Aquarium of the Pacific -- it has many exhibits to see, and I have read on this board that they will hold your luggage for you while you're there.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is really nice as the last poster suggested.

 

The Queen Mary is pretty cool, but I would just try to wander around the ship. Don't pay for a tour.

 

I don't know whats in the dome that used to hold the "Spruce Goose" but there should be something in there.

 

Go down to the Pike area or Shoreline Village. Lots of shops and interesting stuff.

The (free) Passport C bus leaves from the parking lot and has a stop at the Aquarium.

Carnival now uses the Dome as it's cruise center for the west coast cruises.

I had no idea since I have never taken a Carnival Cruise in 20 years.

 

Thanks for the info...

I suggest going to the Yard House in Shoreline Village and sample many of the over 200 beers on tap.
