Elegant and sunny San Diego is truly a city with something for everyone – it’s one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States. Parents and children alike love San Diego’s wide range of fun and family-oriented activities – many of them free – most of them outdoors in the warm sunshine. From the theater to wild animals, San Diego has something for everyone. Here are six things to do in San Diego that every visitor should not miss when visiting our wonderful city.
1. Vibrant, diverse, and endlessly entertaining, the Gaslamp Quarter is where San Diego’s colorful past comes alive and exists hand in hand with modern development and commerce in an active urban setting. Covering eighteen blocks of downtown San Diego, “the Gaslamp” offers dozens of specialty shops, boutiques, art galleries, hip restaurants, fun bars and avant-garde playhouses. Here you’ll find an architectural mix of hip restaurants and bars inside renovated turn-of-the-century Victorian architecture. Most of the shops keep late hours, so delightful shopping, drinking, and dining can occur virtually simultaneously, making the Quarter one of San Diego’s most popular travel destinations.
2. Get Culture And Fun: Take in an organ concerts at 2 p.m. any Sunday at the famous Spreckels Organ Pavilion in pastoral Balboa Park. The Organ Pavilion features one of world’s biggest outdoor pipe organs and has been a San Diego landmark since 1914. Here you can see organists from all over the globe play their traditional favorites and fun show tunes on the huge thirty-two-foot pipes. A fun time will be had by all.
3. Star Watch from Balboa Park on the first Wednesday of each month courtesy of the San Diego Astronomy Association who sets up their big telescopes to offer guests a great view of stars, planets and the rings of Saturn in the night sky. One of the greatest thrills for anyone is to view the heavens through a telescope. Have you ever seen Jupiter’s moons? How about star clusters? Join them after dark outside the Reuben Fleet Science Center on the first Wednesday of each month.
4. Surf’s up! Head up to Oceanside and visit the California Surf Museum. Antique and classic surfboards along with profiles of famous surfers are give you an insider’s look at this unique SoCal sport. The museum is dedicated to archiving and displaying surfboards, surf art, skateboards, surf memorabilia, photographs and historical videos. Their “timeline of surfboards” exhibit includes wooden boards from the early 1900s all the way to today’s modern boards. There is something surreal in combining education with what is considered the ultimate beach bum sport.
5. Explore the tide pools in LaJolla at low tide and see strange and unusual life forms. There’s lots to see if you look closely: scuttling hermit crabs, colorful sea anemones, real octopus, creepy dead man’s fingers and cavernous gaping barnacles. Many of these creatures shelter under rocks or bury themselves in the sand; some use their camouflage to hide in plain sight. Like a hidden puzzle, tide pools must be examined carefully to reveal their treasures. San Diego travel tip: look closely!
6. How can we not mention the beach? With over 65 miles of coastline, this best part of San Diego is absolutely free – and all the beaches are just perfect for trying your hand at surfing or boogie-boarding.
