San Diego Attractions
Sea World San Diego - As everyone knows, Shamu
is Sea World's biggest star. But Sea World San Diego is so much more. Experience
Journey to Atlantis, an exciting ride that lets you rush through uncharted waters
where mysterious mists and unpredictable drops lurk around every turn. In addition
to its thrilling rides and incredible entertainment, Sea World is dedicated
to protecting and preserving the environment and all its wildlife. No trip to
San Diego is complete without a visit to Sea World - young or old, all visitors
leave smiling and sometimes soggy.

San Diego Zoo - Located 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
to visit the Giant Pandas and the Rainforest Aviary, a huge bird-filled Asian
jungle with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage.

San Diego Wild Animal Park - 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.

Old Town San Diego - Step into 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 fabulous shopping and ethnic (not just
Mexican) food. Visit
