5 Fun Things To Do This Spring

Did you know that the list of ACEBSA benefits has increased recently? Thanks to our new ACEBSA-Funex partnership, we can now bring more benefits to our members in the form of vendors, discounts, and gift cards for some of the most popular brands and locations all over the nation. With spring break coming up, ACEBSA members will be able to plan fun-filled trips with their friends and family both in AND out-of-state! Here are some of our favorite ways to use the new vendors available through Funex to plan your perfect trip.

1. Museum Day in San Francisco

Visiting museums is a great way to spend a calm day with your friends and family. Although there are many amazing museums in the LA area, you can maximize your museum visit with a road trip to San Francisco! On top of historic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, you can get discounted tickets to visit the Asian Art Museum and De Young Museum in a single day. If you’re planning to stay for the whole weekend, take this opportunity to explore and get immersed in the beautiful city with the SF CityPass.  

Your San Francisco trip will not be complete without dining options! We offer a wide selection of gift cards to restaurants around the Bay Area to get your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert fix. These gift cards include but are not limited to Bubba Gump, Darden Restaurants, Cold Stone Creamery, TGIF, and more.

2. Catalina Day Trip

Want to travel but not out-of-state? As the weather warms up, we recommend planning a trip to Catalina Island. Catalina Island is one of the most wonderful locations in California, allowing you to enjoy an island experience right from the comfort of home. In fact, Catalina Island is just one hour away from LA, so it's an easy road trip for the family. 

Nothing is better than spending a fun day basking in the sun with your loved ones as you engage in outdoor activities. At Catalina Island, you can visit the beaches, take a boat tour, or just chill at the spa date. Through our ACEBSA-Funex partnership, members will have access to amazing discounted tickets to Catalina Island Company, Catalina Express, Dana Wharf Whale sportfishing, and wine cruises. With this fun-filled package, there will be something for everyone! 

3. Movie Day

Sometimes, all you need is a relaxing day to disconnect from the world and enjoy a low-impact afternoon at the movies with your friends and family. If you’re looking to just chill and watch your favorite flicks, we’ve got you covered with discounted tickets to Regal Cinemas and Regency Theaters. The best part about going to the movies is that there's no shortage of action-packed films now showing: The Batman, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Uncharted. Horror fans can enjoy the return of a classic, Scream, or a newcomer, Studio 666.

Don’t have Regal Cinemas or Regency Theaters around your area? Don’t worry! We offer gift cards for AMC, Cinemark, and Fandango. These gift cards can also be used to buy your favorite movie theater snacks! 

4. Theme Park Visit

When it comes to a fun family trip, nothing beats the classic theme park experience. Now that long breaks are on the horizon, it's the best time to start preparing for an exciting break you’ll never forget. With our extensive selection of theme park vendors, you won’t have to worry about having a hard time picking your favorite! If you’re looking to beat the heat with a water park experience, you can get discounted tickets to Raging Waters, Knott's Soak City, or Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. For a more traditional theme park experience, you can purchase discounted tickets to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Six Flags, Sea World, and Legoland. 

Keep in mind that some theme parks still have COVID-19 protocols in place. As you plan your visit, make sure to stay safe by wearing masks in in-door areas and bringing hand sanitizers for your family.

5. Trip to New York

Planning a trip out of California? Take this chance to be a part of all the sights and bright lights of New York City. From the moment you land, you’ll realize that the hustle and bustle of the city cannot be matched. If you’re not sure what you plan on doing for your stay in the Big Apple, we’ve got you covered. Plan your day the way you want to with our long list of New York vendors, like New York CityPASS, the MET, MoMA, Central Park Zoo, the New York Aquarium, SKYSCAPE, and even Legoland.

If a trip to New York isn't quite your thing, do not fret. We have plenty of vendors nationwide. You can plan fun discounted trips to other areas as well, such as Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
