Family Vacations: SanDiego, CA Area

This is the second part of a visit to California. Here are just a few of the many things to do in the San Diego Area.

San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo is truly one of America's treasures.  With it's long history of research and breeding of rare animals, the San Diego Zoo is much more than a Zoo.  It is a glimpse in to how zoologists care for thousands of species while giving visitors a unique look at many of these magnificent creatures.  Be warned, the habitats are built for the animal's comfort, not the visitors feet.  A walk through the enormous park can be a trying experience.  Bus tours make this task much easier and is highly recommended.  To locals, this Zoo is one of the most important locations in San Diego and one of its most irreplaceable sites.  Don't miss it!  The San Diego Zoo is unique by any measure and will leave you much more educated and excited about these magnificent creatures.

SeaWorld San Diego
SeaWorld takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey to the wonders that exist beyond the ocean's door. A place where up-close encounters connect you to the energy, excitement and mystery of the sea and sea life. A world of fascinating days, captivating nights and exhilarating adventure. Plus, Sesame Street presents Lights, Camera, Imagination!, a new 4-D movie and the all-new Sesame Street Bay of Play, an all-new play area with three family-friendly rides.

USS Midway Museum
The USS Midway Museum is a real naval aircraft carrier that served in the United States Navy for 47 years.  Large and very impressive, it has real jets and real airplanes up on the flight deck, that travelers can actually walk into and even sit in the cockpits of some planes.

Seaport Village
Seaport Village is a 14 acre waterfront shopping, dining and entertainment complex recreating a harbor side setting of a century ago. It includes 54 one- of-a-kind shops, 13 casual dining eateries, 4 fine-dining waterfront restaurants.  It has four miles of meandering cobblestone pathways bordered by ponds, lakes, fountains and colorful landscaping plus a quarter-mile slate boardwalk along the San Diego Bay.

Mission Bay Park
Mission Bay Park is the largest man-made aquatic park in the country, consisting of 4,235 acres, approximately 46% land and 54% water. The park offers a wide range of recreational activities including paths for walking and jogging, and playgrounds for children. It is one of San Diego's most popular locations to fly a kite, picnic or sail a model yacht. Fire rings make it possible to cook out and stay warm. Mission Bay Park also offers a variety of free opportunities to the public such as professional volleyball and Over-the-Line sporting events. Annual attendance in the park is estimated at 15 million.
