Best Western Poway/San Diego Hotel

Romance, music and a dash of history all prove to be the ingredients of the perfect romantic evening when you visit Gaslamp Quarter. Aside from being an obviously hip, lively collection of restaurants, clubs and bars that are part of the district's top-drawer nightlife, it's also a great vantage point to do some fun people-watching.

The Museum of Us makes it completely clear that their entire focus is "all about people." From prehistoric relics through man's development into the complex creature into which he has evolved, the museum does a dramatic and highly visual journey to illustrate the many faces of the species..

For an interesting look at some of San Diego's wildlife, make plans to get on board the city's only bus-boat amphibious tour known as the San Diego SEAL Tours.

While the San Diego Zoo resides within the confines of Balboa Park, the park itself is worthy of a visit in its own right, as it offers an impressive set of attractions. As well as featuring the zoo, Balboa Park is also home to Mingei International Museum, the Natural History Museum and Aerospace Museum as well. The park is expansive, with its lush grass and scenery perfect for laying out on a blanket or just sitting on a bench and people watching as the afternoon unfolds. If you need to take a breather, there's no better place than Balboa Park!
