There are a lot of fun things to do in San Diego for senior citizens. In addition to the usual tourist destinations, like the San Diego Zoo (senior discount on their Best Value admission package), and Balboa Park's museums and environment, there are many places that might be more of interest to senior tourists.
Because of San Diego's fabulous weather, there are many resort hotels that have golf courses, especially in north county. Seniors looking for a good view might enjoy short hikes around Torrey Pines State Park or Cabrillo National Monument, both on the coast, with ocean views (Cabrillo also has a nice view of downtown). For the history buff, check out Old Town State Historic Park to learn about early California, or see the Maritime Museum (on San Diego Bay) or the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum. For shopping opportunities, Seaport Village (on the Bay) has some unique shops, and downtown La Jolla has ritzy shopping, while serious shoppers might enjoy the factory outlets at Viejas casino, or San Ysidro or Carlsbad. For nice dining, check out Little Italy or North Park or La Jolla.
For the mobility impaired - the San Diego transit system (trolley and bus) is fully ADA accessible, although not always easy to use.

There are plenty of passions to pursue in San Diego and that hotelbye is the area to start discovers what San Diego needs to offer. In the San Diego holiday you will stage outside of your safe place and you will investigate new actions while you are here and you could just realize that obtaining a brand new search is an experience in itself. One of many places should see from San Diego is Balboa Park. That park has over a 1400 acre and here you can find historic buildings, numerous museums, gardens, and green space. The park was made for the Panama California Exhibition of 1915-1916. The prevalent architecture is Spanish-Mexican style, reduced level buildings that merge with the natural surroundings. One of the shows of the park will be the Botanical Gardens and lily lake, the Museum of Man, the Museum of Natural History, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the famous San Diego Zoo. Even although you never go into a developing the park is just a beautiful place.

If boats amaze you, the maritime museum is the thing to do. The Star of India ship takes 20 or so persons for a tour around the bay, all sails, no motor. "Oldest ship still seaworthy". It is great watching a crew of 10 seamen make this ship live again.
