Ultimate guide: San Diego family Vacation

By Katie Wittry

Where to stay: We love the Liberty Station area. It is close to the airport and walkable to many restaurants.

Liberty Station has so many great restaurants for families including the Corvette Diner or check out Barra Barra Saloon in Old Town.

Visiting the USS Midway is a must. It has great views of the harbor, kids activities, and you even get to climb in some of the aircraft.

Get a good overview of San Diego by doing the Hop On and Hop Off Old Town Trolley tour

Balboa Park has so much amazing architecture plus all of the incredible museums for your family. We like the Fleet Science Center.

Take a drive to La Jolla. It is so fascinating seeing the sea lions in their own habitat there.

While in La Jolla, check out the Sunny Jim Sea Cave. 

We also love visiting the Cabrillo National Monument for some great history and stunning views.

Visit Coronado Beach and all of the other breathtaking beaches in the San Diego area.

A visit to San Diego is not complete without going to the San Diego zoo!
