William Randolph Hearst
built Hearst Castle , his
extravagant “publisher’s
palace,” on the San Simeon
coast in 1919. The sprawling
16,200-hectare estate served
as Hearst’s residence until
1947. In its heyday, the
castle was invitation-only
and welcomed guests like
Churchill and Chaplin. It
became a public tourist
attraction in 1958, so visi-
tors could ogle Hearst’s art
collection and antiques, as
they imagine the lifestyles of
the rich and famous.

An Arresting Visit
We all know California is
home to celebrities. While
most live in sprawling
mansions, some of the
state’s most notorious
residents called a five-by-
nine-foot cell home. A
short boat ride from San
Francisco will take you to
Alcatraz , America’s most
infamous prison. Between
1934 and 1963, “The Rock,”
as it was unaffectionately
known, was home to the
country’s most dangerous
inmates, including Al
Capone and Machine Gun
Kelly. Today, visitors can
tour the prison to see how
the other side lived.
San Diego Zoo
The world-famous zoo
pioneered the concept
of cageless, open-air
habitats for wildlife.

exhibit, Africa Rocks,
featuring leopards,
baboons, lemurs and
endangered African
penguins.
