Regarded as one of the world's best, this zoo is located in Balboa Park and houses around 3,700 animals of over 650 species. Even more impressive is the fact that this is the only place outside of the wild where you can see rare animals such as the giant panda and more. The open-air, cageless enclosures also help to give the impression of seeing the animals in their natural habitats. Fun and educational events such as the KinderNights, KinderTots and Animal Encounters allow children to learn about the animals they see, while stroller letting helps to make your visit a bit easier.
If your kids fall in love with wildlife during your holiday, consider taking them to San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where you can witness lions lounging in leafy glades and tigers prowling in the grasslands. Explore extensive, climate-controlled areas and discover the park's 2,600 plus inhabitants as you tour around on a trolley bus.
For guaranteed thrills and old-world charm, take the kids to Belmont Park. Opened in 1925 and looking over the ocean, the amusement park includes several original attractions such the Giant Dipper, a wooden rollercoaster. After a fun-filled afternoon here, the whole family will be glad to return to your San Diego holiday letting to rest and share stories of the day's adventures.
San Diego's Coastal Attractions
It would be impossible to mention San Diego's sights without mentioning the miles of beaches, perfect for swimming, surfing, sunbathing and beach sports. Several surf schools are on hand to help eager but inexperienced surfers.
For more water activities just a quick jaunt from your San Diego holiday letting , consider whale watching. Several companies offer private trips to get up close to the majestic creatures. The best time of year for a whale watching trip is February, when gray whales migrate south along the coast, although it is possible to catch a glimpse of orcas, minke and fin whales all year round. The Cabrillo National Monument, the Birch Aquarium at Scripps and the hiking trails of the Torrey Pines State Reserve are popular sites for whale watching along the coast.
Another thrilling activity is exploring the Seven Caves of La Jolla on a guided kayak tour. La Jolla Underwater Park is rich with marine life, including sea lions, leopard sharks, and garibaldi.
