The plethora of animals will keep your children entertained for days, especially if you take time to watch one of the shows the animals have been trained to give. Adrenaline lovers and kids will appreciate the many rides that will turn, flip, zip, and hurdle you through your family vacation to San Diego.
Explore History at the San Diego Natural History Museum
