Family vacations in San Diego

There are many things to do in San Diego, Sea World and the world famous San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park. The air is much easier to breathe than Los Angeles and the scenery is phenomenal. To plan your perfect San Diego family vacation, you need to narrow down your options so everyone can enjoy the day.

Sea World is a great place to spend the whole day watching shows and if you want you can feed and play with the dolphins. They have water games so if it’s too hot you can cool off while riding the Shipwreck Rapids or Journey to Atlantis. There are shows in the afternoon and at night with Shamu and other shows that focus on sea lions. There is even a sea lion show that makes a mockery of all the other shows. Make sure you sit in the back if you don’t want to get wet. For a once in a lifetime experience you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner with Shamu.

The world famous San Diego Zoo is a wonderful place to take the family. They don’t call it world famous for nothing. You can ride the Skyfari aerial tram from one end of the park to the other and get a view of the entire zoo. There are shows for the kids and they can get involved with Mr. Zoolittle and learn about home experiments. You can bring your lunch to the park and find a shady area and sit. If you choose to ride the tour bus they have seats upstairs and downstairs, if it’s a hot day it’s better to sit at the bottom.

The San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park is a great place to experience a safari-like setting. You can walk around and see all the animals and take pictures. There is a driving tour that takes you on a 30 minute drive and tells you about how the San Diego Zoo is taking care of the animals. For those who want to ride in style, they offer a personal Segway so you can tour the entire park without even taking a physical step.

Another place to visit in San Diego is Knott’s Soak City. It’s the same as Knott’s Berry Farms’ Soak City but less a ride, the sledding. It’s a great way to cool off and relax while the kids play in the wave pool. Many of the creases have a height requirement, but if a parent creases them, the child can ride too.

The best value is to purchase a park pass that allows you to visit the zoo, wildlife park, and Sea World. You can get extra benefits like a ride on the Skyfari at the zoo and a safari tour at the wild animal park. Sea World has plenty of entertainment to keep everyone entertained. Be sure to take a family photo when you arrive at each park, you can view your photos before you leave.
