Things to do in Carlsbad

Carlsbad is the center of the golf equipment industry: Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra and Titleist’s golf club operations all have major offices or headquarters in town, along with a strong group of life sciences, technology and action sports companies. The city is also a resort destination in its own right, home to the Omni La Costa and Park Hyatt Aviara, Legoland California and The Flower Fields, whose ranunculus blooms paint a hillside above the freeway each spring.
