Does anyone know any fun places to go to in San Diego or around San Diego besides the beach, balboa park and old town. I'm looking for something new.

There's a cave in La Jolla. You have to pay to walk down to it. Or you can swim or snorkel to the cave.
San Diego Harbor Excursion. Take a 2hr harbor cruise. 1050 Harbor Dr.
Birch Aquarium at Scripts. It has more than 3000 fish. 2300 Expedition Way, La Jolla.
San Diego Coronado Bridge - drive through this 2-mile long bridge to Coronado. Visit the Hotel del Coronado where it has attracted the rich and famous since 1888. It served as the backdrop for movies such as Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe.
Shopping at UTC, Horton Plaza, Mission Valley Center, Seaport Village, etc.
Point Loma - You can get a complete panoramic view of San Diego Bay, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Coronado, the Embarcadero, and downtown from the Cabrillo National Monument at the southern tip of Point Loma.
Other more costly places or tourist trap are Legoland, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Sea World, etc.

Tiajuana but, Rosarita beach is better for a day trip. Also in downtown San Diego is the Gaslamp dsistrict with small hotels, jazz clubs and bars. The huge warship is down there too- to tour. Seacoast village. The wild Animal Park. They now have Barongo (spelling) casino nearby too. Also a hour up the 15 fwy is Temecula and their winery tours are great and the Old Town there is small and fun. They have several "Rod Runs" of fifties cars a year and street painting festivals etc. Carlsbad is a wonderful beach and the village is nice. Chk out the city website for more! Have fun!

There are lots of wineries in San Diego county if you enjoy wine tasting.
Be sure to watch the sunset from Mt. Soledad in La Jolla. Visit Coronado Island. There's a great view of the San Diego skyline from Coronado, which you can drive to from the bridge or take a ferry across.
San Diego is known for its beautiful sunsets. It's quite a sight to watch the sun sink slowly into the ocean. There is also plenty of outdoor activities to chose from: spend some time on a bay cruise, go kayaking through the La Jolla caves, bike, hike, or even ride a gondola on Coronado Island.
Enjoy!

Take a drive to Julian, Borrego or Mt. Palomar. Or, take the train up to Capistrano. Also, visit Coronado and Encinitas. And that commune up in Encinitas has a really pretty piece of land with a botanical garden. They have some times during the week where people can come in visit. Also, Quail Botanical Gardens is find of nice. Oh, and then there is also the aircraft carrier down at the harbor that you can tour as well.

Seaport Villiage isn't a bad place to go see. Head up the 78 to Julian and go get some good apple pie.
