Other Places of Interest

Among the most popular of California's other tourist attractions are Disneyland, in Anaheim; Sea World, on the coast near San Diego; the motion-picture studios of southern California; and Chinatown, in San Francisco. Most of the early Spanish missions in California have been preserved and at least partially restored. The Santa Barbara Mission, known for its fine architecture, has been called the Queen of the Missions. Of particular interest to astronomers are California's Palomar Observatory and Mount Wilson Observatory (see  Hale Observatories), and Lick Observatory, among the nation's major observatories.
