Things to do in San Diego


We like it when friends make recommendations - find them more useful than any guides.
Thanks Wendy!
you HAVE to go to Extraordinary Desserts.
There is no better dessert place in the USA than that. Also great for afternoon snack and coffee/tea/hot cocoa.

Try to stay in La Jolla. It's pretty central and you can walk around in La Jolla VillageLa Jolla Shores and it's beautiful if the weather isn't rainy. A bit more expensive since it's nominated as the most beautiful beach in the continental USA.

Yelp is good for restaurant recommendations - lots of new places have opened and I try new ones every time I go back to see my family.

To visit, good for kids:
- World Famous SD Zoo 
- Wild Animal Park is also great, take the tram ride and it's kind of like a safari
Legoland
Carlsbad Outlet Mall (more high end) or San Ysidro Outlet Mall (near the border, regular brands) - GREAT shopping of brand names for cheap
Balboa Park - must walk around to see the history/culture
- La Jolla Shores beach walk
- go to Coronado to see Hotel del Coronado and the beaches around there

That's a good start :)
