  1. What a great set of resources. San Diego and San Diego North County is a great place to visit. I used to live there, in the Legoland area.

    Don’t forget the beach and the parks in the area. It gives some time for parents to catch their breath, while the child entertains themselves, with a little supervision of course.

  2. Thanks for acknowledging that it’s important to keep the kids happy and entertained while on vacation. Had no idea San Diego had so many things for the kids to do that adults can enjoy, too! Invaluable information here!

  3. I am a local mom and have a website called San Diego Family Fun at https://www.sdfamilyfun.com/. For families visiting San Diego, it provides current up to date family friendly fun activities and events of which most are free! I would invite your readers to go and check it out. Thanks!
