Sea World is a must if you are visiting for the summer. The park is open later and there is a firework show during closing hours. Lots to see: local marine life, shows, and amusement rides/roller coasters. It is a great way to spend the day with the family or even date night!

Great spot for breakfast or a Sunday Brunch. Come and see why they call this spot 'The Jem'. The seals on the beach are always entertaining, the children's pool is great for a swim with your family, and there are several places where you could rent a stand up paddle board or kayak to get a closer view of the action.

My favorite mall...lots of fun dining and shopping. I especially like this mall because it is not enclosed--so be aware it is not a great place to shop if it is raining...but it is a great place to shop if you want a wide variety of stores and a fun atmosphere. There also have a stage in their food court that sometimes has events and live music. Looking for ice skating? UTC has it! Arc Light Theatre is located in the mall if you would like the experience of a luxurious movie theater and bar.
Currently (summer of 2016 and into the fall of 2016) there is a fair amount of construction happening in the mall. Parking is messy, but available. It is also uncharacteristically loud for this mall...

Great location in downtown San Diego. There is a huge selection of shops and dining here, with a movie theater, and local theater too (San Diego Repertory Theatre). Walking around the mall, however, is like walking through a MC Escher painting...lots of stairways that don't necessarily lead to what you would expect. The parking is a little confusing too...make sure you remember EXACTLY where you parked your car or you will spend a lot of time looking for it!
