How to Enjoy San Diego

How to enjoy San Diego: When planning a trip to California, you could spend a day in San Diego.

San Diego is famous for the world’s winding streetcar and road, offering more curiosities.

Spend time researching the area, and you will guarantee an unforgettable trip.

These are just a few places to start.

San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo is famous for starting the collection of plants and animals at the Panama-American Exposition in the 20th century.

Today, it is a world-class research center and home to several endangered species.

It is the perfect place to enjoy a family vacation.

The acreage has ample room to tour the zoo, but it will require more than a day’s travel.

Fortunately, the zoo has several benches to rest your weary feet.

Mei Sheng is the tourists’ favorite panda, and the queue can last up to an hour during peak season.

Zoo mascots can take pictures with children (and adults, if they wish!).

Car, bus, or bicycle can reach it, and parking is free.

You can enter through Zoo Place just off Park Boulevard in Balboa Park near downtown San Diego.

Balboa Park

Balboa Park is located northeast of downtown San Diego.

The park features walking and biking trails and play and picnic areas.

At Sixth Avenue and Laurel Street, the entrance has a bridge you can cross, taking you to what remains of the Panamanian-American Exposition held between 1915 and 1916.

Some buildings in the park are quaint and house gift shops, cafes, and restaurants.

San Diego’s biggest and best museums are also located here.

Sea World

Along with the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld is the most popular tourist spot in San Diego.

What started in the 1960s is a popular theme park with Shamu, the orca, as the city’s unofficial symbol.

The best thing about SeaWorld is how it allows for a high level of interaction between the animals and their human visitors.

For example, the Dolphin Interaction Program allows direct contact with the dolphins after being educated about the marine mammal and its habitat.

To culminate the activity, access to holding tanks is granted, where participants can touch and hold the dolphin with the supervision of keepers.

The program costs around $150 per person, but many say it’s worth every penny.

Reservations should be made as soon as possible as it fills up quickly.

Old Town San Diego

Old Town can provide that if a walk and the occasional shopping are more to your liking.

The buildings that house shops and museums in Old Town refer to the architecture of the era of the beginnings of California.

To maintain the tradition of resting and enjoying the scenery, it is best to reserve a day to explore and enjoy the city.

Old Town can be reached using the San Diego Trolley, marked in red, or by taking a short ten minutes from the Gaslamp Quarter.

Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego

What used to be an area you didn’t want to be in after dark is now a safe and fun place to spend your day AND night.

The Gaslamp Quarter results from the City of San Diego taking charge and saving a community from blight.

Even the San Diego Repertory Theater calls this part of town home.

Enjoy the place just by walking around and enjoying the local color.

You can even take a horse-drawn carriage or ride the San Diego Trolley.

If you’re in the area sometime in September, you might want to check out Street Scene, a three-day festival of music, food, and drink.

La Jolla

If traveling through nature is your type of vacation, then visit La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya).

The rarest pine trees in the country call this place, just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, home sweet home.

Walkers and trekkers will enjoy the path along the cliffs and the beaches.

The Town offers museums, fine art galleries, excellent restaurants, and shops.

A hike up Mount Soledad will give you a panoramic view of San Diego below.
