Lions, cheetahs, giraffes, oh my! The San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park are incredible places to experience. If you are interested in animals of the aquatic type, then you will love Sea World.

San Diego County is also home to the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, so there are many historical ships and ports to explore or go sailing in the San Diego Bay and take a trip to the Point Loma Lighthouse. You can stroll the streets of Old Town San Diego or the Gaslamp District and stop at one of the many museums in Balboa Park. Bask in the sunshine of the San Diego shoreline or view the starry sky through a telescope at the Mount Laguna Observatory or the Palomar Observatory.
