Here are a few things we recommend if you've never been to San Diego before, but let us know if you'd like any other suggestions, especially when it comes to beer!
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
15500 San Pasqual Valley Rd, Escondido, CA 92027
Although the San Diego Zoo is also recommended, the Safari Park is closer to the venue. (But do both if you can!)
Legoland
1 Legoland Dr, Carlsbad, California 92008
Everything is awesome.
Pizza Port Carlsbad
571 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008, (760) 720-7007
Delicious one-of-a-kind pizza and lots of craft beer to wash it down with, plus a very beachy vibe and local culture.
3-Story Target
280 E Via Rancho Pkwy, Escondido, CA 92025
See if you can work the cart escalator on the first try!
Balboa Park
San Diego, CA 92101
A San Diego staple! Picnic or walk around and enjoy the beautiful architecture and botanical garden for free, or pop into any of the many museums for cost of admission.
Birch Aquarium at Scripps
San Diego, CA 92037
Birch Aquarium at Scripps is world-renowned. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the aquarium features more than 60 habitats of fishes and invertebrates.
Belmont Park
Belmont Park Road, Oceanside, CA 92057
A fun carnival-esque location right on the beach with a wooden roller coaster and Dole whips.
Museum of Making Music
5790 Armada Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008, (760) 438-5996
See and play musical instruments displayed in vintage store settings, hear familiar tunes, and discover how the music industry has grown over the years.
