Things To Do
Torrey Pines Gliderport
Even if you don’t plan to paraglide yourself, it’s worth stopping for the views alone. Grab a drink or casual food and watch the gliders take off at sunset. Just a heads up: the Gliderport only has porta potties, so plan accordingly.
San Diego Zoo
Located inside Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo is one of the most well-known zoos in the world and honestly worth visiting even as adults. It’s huge, beautifully designed, and easy to spend an entire day exploring. Wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking and hills, and try to go earlier in the day if possible since weekends can get crowded. Tickets can be a little pricey, but they include the guided bus tour through the zoo along with the Skyfari aerial tram, which gives really cool views of the park from above.
Children's Pool La Jolla
Visit La Jolla's famous seals and sea lions, explore the shops and restaurants of La Jolla Village, stroll along the scenic coastline, kayak or snorkel at La Jolla Cove, and enjoy some of San Diego's most beautiful ocean views.
