We love the San Diego Zoo! Plan to spend a whole day here! We walk over 20k steps every time we visit!

You’ll find more than 3,400 rare and endangered animals at this world-famous zoo, which was founded more than 100 years ago. The zoo also boasts a safari park and an institute for conservation research, ensuring the zoo’s 650 species and subspecies, as well as its botanical collection of 700,000 plants, continue to thrive for generations.

There are TONS of different activities to do in Balboa Park and LOTS to see!

Explore nature, culture, and science at Balboa Park

Wander through the 1,200 acres of idyllic Balboa Park, which—along with the San Diego Zoo—houses a sculpture garden, The San Diego Natural History Museum, and the San Diego Museum of Art, among many other attractions. Architecture lovers will appreciate the Casa del Prado, built between 1915 to 1917 for the Panama-California Exposition in an ornate Spanish Colonial Revival style. Stop in at the Botanical Building to enjoy a wide variety of plants from around the world or hit one of five lush trails to enjoy San Diego’s great outdoors.

Visit Hotel Del Coronado, have lunch at our favorite Tiki Bar, The Islander, and take a stroll down the beach! No matter what you do in Coronado you will have a blast!

We love hitting the Gaslamp district when kid free! Have a nice dinner then go out dancing! So much fun!
