San Diego Wild Animal Park®
(6 Miles from the Hotel)
With over 2,000 acres of park areas to explore, the San Diego Wild Animal Park offers a more natural setting to view the animals, birds and fish than the conventional cages of a zoo. Take the hour-long train ride and see giraffes and wild horses or stop at the petting zoo to allow the kids to pet and feed gentle deer and goats. The bird show is not to be missed and don't forget to pay special attention to the carefully labeled landscape plantings.
San Diego Zoo®
(6 Miles from the Hotel)
Our hotel is near the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park, which includes so many museums and other facilities it deserves a separate day of viewing. The San Diego Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals of over 800 different species. Here you'll find all your favorites, including the hands-on Children's Zoo, the Polar Bear Plunge, Tiger River and the creepy Reptile Mesa. Be sure not to miss the giant pandas and the Rainforest Aviary, a huge bird-filled Asian jungle with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage.
Old Town
(2 Miles from the Hotel)
Step into the San Diego of centuries past as you stroll through Old Town. Don't miss: San Diego House (originally a saloon owned and operated by a freed slave and a cornerstone of Black American history in San Diego), the Mason Street School (SD's first public school, still holding history classes for the public) and, of course, Bazaar Del Mundo. Bazaar Del Mundo is a permanent fiesta, with fab shopping and ethnic (not just Mexican) food.
Gaslamp Quarter
21 blocks of sidewalk cafés and open-air restaurants, jazz clubs, late-night dancing, resident artists and microbreweries. "The Historic Heart of San Diego," as it is known, is just a short walk from the Convention Center in downtown.
LEGOLAND® California
(30 Miles from Hotel)
A 128-acre park that contains 5,000 Lego models made up of more than 30 million Lego bricks. It also features more than 40 interactive exhibits, attractions, family rides and shows. Although Legoland's broadest appeal is to kids 12 and under, anyone with a young spirit will enjoy San Diego's newest theme park.
Anaheim's Disneyland® Park
(92 Miles from Hotel)
Drive less than three hours and visit another great California attraction: Disneyland Resort. Still growing, still changing, still magical after more than four-and-a-half decades, Disneyland Park - Walt Disney's dream of the world's first theme park - has never been more alive or more exciting! Over the years, classic attractions and shows like Pirates of the Caribbean and the fiery Fantasmic! have been joined by new favorites, such as the hair-raising Indiana Jones Adventure and the wildly fun Tarzan's Treehouse. Get ready to experience even more magic, including the biggest pyrotechnic display in Disneyland history and more!
