We love the zoo! It's a beautiful place to spend the day. We recommend starting your adventure by hopping on the Guided Bus Tour and then meandering up the beautiful pathways towards the gorillas. After you've seen everything you went to see, we recommend ending the day with the Skyfari Aerial Tram which will take you down the hill to the exit.
Don’t feel like venturing south to San Diego? Check out some boutique wineries in Temecula. Downtown is adorable, too.
Short hike, but a good workout with beautiful views of the city.
Super fun place to hang out for a few hours. This is a beautiful 130 year old hotel with a ton of history ("Some Like it Hot" was filmed here!). The beach that it sits on, in our opinion, is gorgeous and unparalleled anywhere in San Diego.
