San Diego is a kid friendly mecca, perfect for parents with young kids either visiting or trying to find places that will accommodate their needs. The city is full of kid friendly activities - museums, parks, beaches, venues, and restaurants - all either geared toward, or at least very accessible to, families with children. Instead of going straight to SeaWorld we recommend you dive into a neighborhood in San Diego and immerse yourself in the smaller activities they have to offer. Do as the locals do and bring your kids to a nice park or restaurant, take them to a museum or a live event.
