Attractions

Sea World San Diego - As everyone knows, Shamu is Sea World's biggest star. ButSea World San Diego is so much more. Experience Journey to Atlantis, an exciting ride that lets you rush through uncharted waters where mysterious mists and unpredictable drops lurk around every turn. In addition to its thrilling rides and incredible entertainment, Sea World is dedicated to protecting and preserving the environment and all its wildlife. No trip to San Diego is complete without a visit to Sea World - young or old, all visitors leave smiling and (sometimes) soggy.

San Diego Zoo- Located in Balboa Park, which includes so many museums and other facilities it deserves a separate day of viewing, the San Diego Zoo is home to over 4000 animals of over 800 different species. Here you'll find all your favorites including the hands-on Children's Zoo, the Polar Bear Plunge, Tiger River and the creepy Reptile Mesa. Be sure to visit the Giant Pandas and the Rainforest Aviary, a huge bird-filled Asian jungle with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage.

San Diego Wild Animal Park - With over 2,000 acres of park areas to explore, the San Diego Wild Animal Park offers a more natural setting to view the animals, birds and fish than the conventional cages of a zoo. Take the hour-long train ride and see giraffes and wild horses or stop at the petting zoo to allow the kids to pet and feed gentle deer and goats. The bird show is not to be missed and don't forget to pay special attention to the carefully labeled landscape plantings.

Old Town San Diego - Step into San Diego of centuries past as you stroll through Old Town San Diego. Don't miss: San Diego House (originally a saloon owned and operated by a freed slave and a cornerstone of Black American history in San Diego), the Mason Street School (SD's first public school, still holding history classes for the public) and, of course, Bazaar Del Mundo. Bazaar Del Mundo is a permanent fiesta, with fabulous shopping and ethnic (not just Mexican) food.

Gaslamp Quarter - It is 21 blocks of sidewalk cafes and open air restaurants, jazz clubs, late night dancing, resident artists and micro breweries. "The Historic Heart of San Diego," as it is known, is Downtown, just a short walk from the Convention Center.

LEGOLAND California - It is a 128-acre park that contains 5,000 Lego models made up of more than 30 million Lego bricks. It also features more than 40 interactive exhibits, attractions, family rides and shows.
