It’s never too early to start planning your next Spring or Summer family vacation. And, what better place to top your list than San Diego, California? San Diego has numerous family-friendly attractions to interest your family, including:
The San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo is known the world over as a great zoo to visit. The 100-acre zoo houses almost 4000 animals, all of which have plenty of room to roam around. Your family will be able to visit gorillas, goats, lions, leopards, polar bears, bats, and, of course, the Tasmanian Devil. Now, when’s the last time your family saw a Tasmanian Devil? One of the most popular exhibits is the giant panda bears. Be sure to keep your camera ready for a shot of a panda sleeping in a tree.
Legoland
Though not located in San Diego, Legoland is just 30 minutes north of San Diego, which makes it a great day trip while you visit San Diego. Legoland is a theme park offering creations made of Legos, as well as rides your children will love. Be sure to visit Miniland USA, a reproduction of seven areas of the United States, constructed with 20 million LEGO bricks in 1:20 scale. Rides include Dragon Coaster, Volvo Driving School, Fun Town Fire Academy and the Coastersaurus. Most rides have height restrictions of 34″, 40″ or 42″, so make sure you pay attention to those restrictions before getting in line.
Balboa Park
Does your family enjoy museums? Then you must head over to Balboa Park, which is home to 15 major museums, as well as renowned performing arts venues, beautiful gardens, and the previously-mentioned San Diego Zoo. Museums include:
