What are some fun things to do in San Diego??

Question

I'm 13 years old, and my mom's 42.
we are going to San Diego from Feb 7th to the 11th

we are staying at a beach-side resort, and we're going
to go to the San Diego Zoo (which will take 2 days)
we can visit the beach, b/c it's outside our patio, so
that's 1 thing, but other than that we don't now what to
do the other 2 days.

Any ideas????
(not Seaworld)

(( remember, no bar/nightclubs. I'm only 13 ))
Greatly Appreciated

Answer 1

Check out Balboa Park. It's very scenic, with lots of museums and restaurants.

Answer 2

A fun place to eat might be the Corvette Diner...it's in Hillcrest. They have good food and rowdy, fun servers.

The Wild Animal Park is cool. I'd recommend a ride on the bay. There are a number of companies that offer trips on the water.

You could go bicycling....or kayak through the La Jolla caves if the weather is nice.

Drive up the top of Mt. Soledad in La Jolla for a great view of the city. There's a fantastic view of the San Diego skyline from Coronado Island as well. You can drive across the bridge or take a ferry from the downtown area.

There might be a fun play that the two of you would enjoy at one of San Diego's theaters.

Have a great trip!

What are you into?

Shopping? Many many many malls and shopping centers.
Some of my favorites are Horton Plaza in down town, Fashion Valley, Mission Valley and many others

Walking around? Seaport Village, Coronado (Take the Coronado Ferry - goes and comes back the pier every 30 minutes), Bay area is nice. Mission beach is nice too plus you can always stop by the Carnival rides at the Belmont Park.

There are also several parks to visit:
The Wild Animal Park
San Diego Zoo
Sea World (Yes I know)
Legoland in Carlsbad
Balboa Park
Old Town Historic Park

There are many other places but with the little time you have, you must plan wisely.

Answer 4

In addition to what everyone else suggested, you might wanna try Belmont Park in Mission Beach, there's a roller coaster and tons of shops and stuff. Legoland in Carlsbad might be fun for someone your age. If you go to the Zoo I would also check out the Wild Animal Park. Mission Valley, Downtown, and La Jolla all have good shopping if you want to do that, Fashion Valley Mall being the nicest and best mall in SD. Since you plan on going to the zoo I would check out Balboa Park, since you will already be there. Tons of musuems and an IMAX theatre. And if you have the time there are tons of more theme parks up in LA/Orange County.

Answer 6

Try shopping, cool shops around there have fun!!! Could just relax on the beach, take a snorkel lesson, swim with dolphins para-sail, jet ski...lots to do! Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

You should go WHALE WATCHING!!! My family and I went last spring break, and love it. You can buy tickets and go on a ship that has food/drinks, and take a short cruise into the ocean. We saw a couple of whales and thousands of dolphins, it was amazing. The kids loved it!

Answer 8

Take a trip to Disneyland! It's about 1.5 hours north, depending on traffic. You will love it! It shouldn't be missed.
