San Diego: A Fun Southern California Family Vacation City

By Charles L Harmon

If you want a fun place to vacation with your kids then a great family vacation city you can book this summer is San Diego. There is the famous San Diego Zoo and Sea World, where you and the kids will have the time of your lives. Take out your laptop computer and book your stay at the Hilton San Diego Resort.

Surrounded by the Mission Bay Aquatic Park, this hotel has been touted as the best family vacation resort in San Diego. With its private beach, swimming pool, children’s pool, children’s activities supervised by hotel staff, tennis courts, video-game room, and spa, this is one resort ideal for the entire family.

Three miles from world famous Sea World, as well as the Old Town, you and your kids will enjoy hours of entertainment here and at the San Diego Zoo. The hotel offers such amenities as: air-conditioned rooms, a non-smoking environment, hypoallergenic pillows, furnished balconies, and in-room refrigerators. Cribs are available.

Its restaurants include the Bistro overlooking Mission Bay. At the resort you will find American cuisine, poolside dining, and a coffeehouse.

The Mission Bay Aquatic Park comprises 4600 acres of beaches, coves, and islands along with its private beach. There are spa tubs, a wading pool for the kids, and an outdoor pool area. Also they have a full service spa, fitness room, and two putting greens. Among the many activities you and your family can enjoy are horseback riding, boating, fishing, and much more.

As you enjoy your leisurely stay at this resort, the kids will be itching to get to Sea World which is only two miles from the hotel. The San Diego Zoo is only six miles away, and other notable sites such as Balboa Park and downtown San Diego are within the same distance. There is also a theme park nearby. If you and your family really want an extra treat, there is also whale watching as well. You’ll get a real treat if you are able to see a whale in its natural setting.

Why not purchase a 3-for-1 Pass, which allows unlimited entry to Sea World, San Diego Zoo, and the San Diego Wild Animal Park. This will give you five days to engage in such activities as feeding the giraffes, viewing all of the other wild animals such as elephants, tigers, and Pandas. There‘s so much to do and see at all of these attractions.

Now, the San Diego Zoo is good in its own rights, but if you really want to see the real thing, the animals in the wild in their natural surroundings then you should contact Safari Kay and go on a real safari, an African safari.

But the most fun of all could be taking the kids to Sea World. Here you will watch dolphins as they soar into the sky, watch Shamu give a memorable performance, watch the sea lions perform, and much more. This is a great attraction in California. Those of us who live here have probably been there at least once.

Don’t forget if you have an auto club card or other discount card to take advantage of it. Put the savings in your pocket while you enjoy your San Diego stay.

Well let’s be frank. If you live in a cold, snowy, winter climate, then San Diego could have you experience that famous Southern California warm climate most winters. The climate is milder than non-coastal areas so it never gets too cold and rarely too hot.

If you enjoy moderate weather, and like the idea of being in a beach city off the Pacific Coast, then you should not miss vacationing in San Diego. San Diego is not only a fun place to visit, but it will bring out the child in you too. Check out the many packages to San Diego and purchase tickets for the two top main attraction centers. You will have a whale of a good time!
