A. San Diego is one of the nicest cities in the country. It's a major tourist destination and there are tons of things to do.
Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the country. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

My favorite museum in the park is the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. It has some of the largest model layouts in the world. It is really awesome and a real hidden gem.

Other attractions in the park are the Air and Space Museum, Ruben H. Fleet Science Center, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Man, the Automotive Museum, the Hall of Champions, the Botanical Gardens, and the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world (free concerts on Sunday).
The USS Midway is an aircraft carrier turned into a museum

For a great romantic dinner with the best view of the downtown skyline, go to Pehoe's in Coronado. You can take the water taxi across the harbor.

For nightlife, the Gaslamp Quarter offers dining, drinking and dancing. It's also the home of Petco Park and the San Diego Padres major league baseball team.

Mission and Pacific Beach are your best bet for fun in the sun. Belmont Park has a vintage wooden roller coaster (one of two remaining seaside coasters on the west coast) as well as other rides. There is a boardwalk that runs the entire 3 mile length of both beaches. It's a great place to rent a bike or skates.

La Jolla offers great views, great surfing, great food, great theater, and great shopping.
Check out the surfers at historic Windansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food at Alfonso's. Then head to the Birch Aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean. The Tony award winning La Jolla Playhouse is located nearby on the campus of UCSD.

Take the trolley from Downtown to Old Town. There is a state park there that recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area. Pizza Bella has the best pizza in town as well as homemade Italian food.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse at the Cabrillo National Monument offers great views of the downtown skyline, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day you can see all the way to Mexico.

North County San Diego is home to the Zoo's Safari Park. There are multi acre enclosures where herds of wild animals roam plus lots of hiking trails. It's worth the visit and is a different experience from the zoo. You can ride a zip line, tour the park on a Segway, or take a photo caravan into the enclosures and feed the giraffes.

What are some really good San Diego hotels?
Q. I'm trying to find some good info about San Diego. I found the Hotel Del Coronado which is the best hotel in San Diego... but how much is it? It's obviously expensive, but how much would it be for a fam of 5? Also what is a family hotel that's in San Diego that's also really good and not overly priced? HELP! Thanks!
A. I have stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado and it is wonderful. It can get pretty pricey but if you are ok in staying in a smaller room than it is not to steep. I have a family of 5 and we fit fine in a room with 2 queens and a cot. And if you do stay there, make sure that you stay in the old part not the new part. The old part is classic and part of the experience
.
Another fun place is the hilton downtown in the gasslamp district. It is fairly priced. Also, Humphrey's Half Moon In is a bargain and it is right on a bay! Any of these places would work well for your family.
Here are the average prices of each-
Hilton- 250 a night
Coronado- 365 a night
Humphrey's -200 a night
