Legoland or Disney, which really isn't too far.

Ah yes Disneyland, right in the heart of San Diego.

A 100 mile drive is nothing in SoCal.

Oh, well then maybe he should drive to Vegas and have the kid ride the Stratosphere roller coaster.

[censored] that. Donkey show in TJ.

I went to SD and went to both about 6 weeks ago.

I was a little disappointed with the shows at Sea World. They had a lot of junk to play with for a 5 year old though. Kinda lame to pay that money and have the kids spend at least 1/2 the time climbing on the rope thing and digging in the sand.

I liked the zoo more. I just asked my 5 year old and she says she liked Sea World more. The kids did like the zoo too. They have a sky tram thing and a double decker bus tour that they liked a lot.

The Wild Animal Park is really good too. If you can only do one thing, I might go for this as it's probably the least like whatever you have in whatever city you are coming from. edit: strike that, sea world probably is unless you come from Cali or Florida. Maybe Sea World would be a good pick for you if you don't get the chance to see this where you live.

Legoland is good for 5 year olds too. I asked her if she liked Legoland better than Sea World and she said "Legoland and Sea World."

Neither. I hear that the SD Wild Animal Park blows both of those away.

I've lived in SD for a while now and the Wild Animal Park blows them away by a mile. It is very, very cool. The zoo is nice and Sea world is a distant 3rd.

I'd be surprised if Sea World didn't win this. They have a lot of cool shows compared to the Zoo (at least, from what I can remember). Also Legoland is lame and Disneyland is too crowded.

When did you go to Legoland and with what age kids? It's definitely geared towards little ones.

the zoo has the best soft serve ice cream in SD. if you end up going it may be cheaper to buy a 2-person 1 year pass than single day passes for everyone because there is always 2 free tickets included. *EDIT only good deal for 4 or more people, sorry thought 2 kids* also, balboa park is right next to the zoo and there are a lot of nice things to see there too.

the wild animal park is also very good and different than most zoo-type places in the US. plus she works there...


i still haven't been to sea world in the 7 years that i've lived here, but some friends (tourists) just went and loved it.

If you've never seen whales/dolphins, Sea World is pretty cool. Otherwise do the Wild Animal Park. It's close to an hour from downtown though. The zoo is nice, but it's a zoo. The WAP is something unique.

It's probably just some optical illusion, but I see a faint face behind that grey square.

not an illusion. you can see the face behind the square even if you cover up the rest of the face
