Hi. My friend and I will be driving to San Diego next weekend, staying one night (Saturday morning to Sunday evening). What are some fun things to do in San Diego (besides SeaWorld, which we will not be going to). We were thinking about hanging in La Jolla all day Saturday, then head down to San Diego on Sunday to visit Balboa Park. Any thoughts? Suggestions? What are some great things to see in La Jolla, San Diego, Balboa Park, etc? Any advice is greatly appreciated!|||There are tons of fun things to do in San Diego. While in La Jolla, I'd recommend kayaking through the caves. You can join a guided tour at one of the shops in downtown La Jolla where they also rent the equipment as part of the fee. It's an awesome trip and you get to see marine life up close. Hiking at Torrey Pines is another fun thing....this is also in La Jolla. They have a choice of hikes that overlook the Pacific Ocean. Balboa Park is a beautiful Park and Sunday is a good day to visit, Every Sunday afternoon there are free concerts at the outdoor Spreckels Organ Pavillion (the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world). You could see an outdoor play at the Starlight Bowl (showing "Into the Woods through July 27) or a Shakespeare play at the Old Globe Theater (current showing a variety of plays including Romeo and Juliet). Balboa Park has many museums and gardens as well as the zoo. The Prado is a nice restaurant to dine at in the park....make reservations to dine outdoors. Just inside the Sports museum "Hall of Champions" you will find a nice deli, reasonably priced that sells sandwiches. You can enter without going into the museum itself. Park in any parking lot at Balboa Park and make use of the free trolley that takes you around the park. The driver is usually very well informed about what's going on in the park. Have fun!|||If you're here to party, check out Pacific Beach ("PB") - it's a great beach for the "college crowd." PB is also where the locals go to party (we leave downtown/Gaslamp for the toursits). If you've got a car, drive up to Mt. Soledad for a breathtaking 360 degree view of San Diego. La Jolla Cove is a great place for snorkelling, and you may even catch the seals that come and hang out near the south end of the Cove. Hillcrest and Adams Avenue are great places for food... ...and you'll be here just in time for Opening Weekend of the Del Mar Races! So much to do and see...are you sure you'll be able to tear yourself away after one weekend?!?|||I was there for the week of Memorial Day and I would HIGHLY recommend the zoo. Even as you are walking from exhibit to exhibit, it is like you are walking in a rainforest due to all the exotic foliage. Most exhibits are set up in such a way, that although the animals have room to move around, you feel as if you can see all of them so easily and close up. I think if I had tried I could have reached down into the MeerKat pen and actually touched one of them! :) The Polar Bear exhibit was also incredible. You could go inside a building and watch them swimming and playing underwater. You were literally face to face with them. I could have spent an hour or more just watching them. I t was awesome.|||It totally depends on what you like to do. The world renown San Diego zoo is at Balboa Park http://www.sandiegozoo.org/ If you are more interested in historical and cultural places, I would recommend wandering around Old Town http://www.oldtownsandiego.org/. For shopping and just walking around the beach the Marina area is nice: http://www.marinavillage.net/ or a visit to beatiful Coronado Island is always great http://www.coronadovisitorcenter.com/ Have a great time! The San Diego area is one of my favorite places!|||How about Downtown San Diego. - Seaport Village and such. I recently did the seal tour which is this car that is also a boat tour and it was pretty cool. We saw dolphins, sea lions, birds, and learned a lot about the area. You can explore the downtown area - lots of shopping. Little italy and stuff. Also point lloma and all that is nearby.|||OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO, FOR SURE. i go there all the time with friends, it's pretty nifty. Check out the Whaley House; it's spooky, but really cool. It's like a haunted house, and they do tours. Enjoy your visit!|||Absolutely see Balboa Park. Maybe take a water taxi over to Coronado and check things out there - beautiful. You'll be hooked and want to come back.|||The Best Place I like is Thailand
