Adventures from San Diego

San Diego Attractions

San Diego Attractions

San Diego has more major attractions than any big city, with the exception of Orlando Florida.  There are two world class zoos, Sea World, Legoland, not to mention Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm an hour north.

Fun Diego Family looks at the major attractions  but we also focus on more offbeat sites. San Diego is an outdoor lover’s paradise with beaches, mountains, historical sites and all kinds of unique plants and wildlife.

A visitor can have a great time in San Di9ego without going to any major theme parks.

We have a major focus on guides for visitors that want to do more than visit the big ticket attractions. This includes a list of free activities and also hikes and bike rides near the heart of the city.
