Legoland targets children between 3 and 12 years old, and is located just 10 min away from all rentals. You don’t have to be a Lego fanatic to enjoy the park, which includes a Water Park, SEA LIFE Aquarium and more than 60 rides, shows and attractions.

Only at SeaWorld can you get close to dolphins, penguins, sharks and more. See awe-inspiring shows with magnificent killer whales, playful dolphins, humorous sea lions plus an amazing pet show featuring adopted animals. Dive under the sea at Explorer's Reef and touch a crab, shark, or playful cleaner fish. Experience exhilarating rides, roller coasters and water rides.

Go catch a Padres game at Petco Park. Eliminate the stress of driving by taking the Coaster down to the game, which returns 30 min after the game ends! Before the game or after, explore the “Gas Lamp” district and checkout all the restaurants and bars.

One thing to keep in mind is that Petco Park also offers behindthe- scene tours. Discover "writer's row" in the press box, learn about the historic Western Metal Supply Co. Building and explore the Padres dugout. The crown jewel of downtown San Diego, Petco Park serves up baseball Southern California style-complete with swaying palm trees and a sandy beach beyond center field.

The San Diego Safari park is way different than any zoo you have probably ever been to. First, it is not located anywhere near the regular San Diego Zoo, but north of the city and closer to all the rentals. The Safari experience includes seeing herds of rhinos, giraffes, antelope, zebras, and more roaming natural habitats. I strongly suggest going on the tram for a guided safari expedition, and then walk thru the many beautiful walking trails which weave thru some very exotic animals.

Why is it that year after year, San Diego Zoo retains its iconic status as not only the best zoo in the United States, but also as one of the world’s finest zoos?

First of all, the zoo is located within the massive and lovely Balboa Park, which is an attraction in and of itself. Secondly, the San Diego Zoo is really, truly massive. At roughly 100 acres, there is no shortage of unique animals and all surrounded by incredible flora.

With over 3,700 different animals and more than 650 animal species it is virtually impossible to not learn something new during your visit.
