About Queen Mary

The City of Long Beach in Southern California is a popular tourist spot, as well as a wonderful place to live. In fact, it is the seventh most populous city in the state. Part of Los Angeles County, there is so much to see and do in this city, you will need to come back again when you have more time. To make the most of your day, plan a schedule of what you want to see while you are there. From the pristine beaches to the fun night clubs, there is something for everyone in this beachside paradise. 

You should definitely plan to spend at least a few hours (or more) at the Queen Mary on the coast of Long Beach. Part museum, part hotel, part fine dining establishments, this 1,019-foot beauty is a historic marvel built in 1930 and retired from the British Navy in 1967. Take a guided tour or just walk around and explore on your own. Take some selfies in front of one of the huge artworks or inside one of the staterooms where the sailors slept. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you stow your luggage at a Bounce location first, so you don’t have to drag it along.
