"San Diego's 1,200-acre backyard"

Balboa Park is a public park with several free museums and attractions.

Stroll through lush gardens, enjoy the beautiful Spanish-style architecture, and pop into some of the many museums (we've lost many hours in the Air and Space Museum).

Need we say more?

Perfect for a leisurely walk, bike ride, or rollerblading adventure along the ocean. You’ll find beach bars, casual restaurants, and plenty of spots to grab an ice cream right on the ocean.

Mission Beach is home of the WORLD FAMOUS (voted by me- Carissa) Giant Dipper Roller Coaster at Belmont Park. A wooden coaster built in 1925 that will make you giggle like a little girl.

Tour a real aircraft carrier turned museum right at the Embarcadero in downtown San Diego. You can explore the flight deck, check out fighter jets, and even sit in the cockpit of a plane. It’s an interactive and fascinating piece of history.

There are plenty of other large ships and restaurants right on this strip to enjoy as well. Portside Pier being the best for dining with a view.
