Things To Do

Here are some of our favorite things to do in the area.

San Diego Zoo

2920 Zoo Drive, San Diego, CA 92101
, (619) 231-1515

We LOVE the zoo! We highly recommend checking out the koalas and the bears. You can easily spend a whole day at the zoo if you want! The zoo is built into a mountain so be prepared to walk up and down lots of steep hills.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park

15500 San Pasqual Valley Road, Escondido, CA 92027
, (619) 231-1515

The safari park is such an awesome place! Its overall larger than the zoo but there is less to see as most of the land is dedicated to the animals. Here you can see animals cohabitating like they would in the wild. You can also book tours where you are driven through the enclosures.

Balboa park is a huge free park with lots of things to do and see! There are multiple museums throughout the park and the park is right next to the Zoo!
