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!

Need a good laugh to forget the stresses of your everyday routine? Then a laugh-filled evening at the National Comedy Theatre is just for you! The venue features the best in improvisational comedy and interactive entertainment, the best of all; it is all family-friendly! The troupe does a great job of keeping their antics and impressions clean but that doesn't mean that they're not uproariously funny. Another great attribute about the theater is that there is no drink minimum like most clubs, so you can enjoy a soft drink if you like so you can clearly remember all the comedy you experienced well beyond your time in the audience.

Safari Park is an extension of the San Diego Zoo and features over 3,200 animals in approximately 1,800 carefully designed, African-themed acres.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego continuously strives to bring cutting edge exhibits and programs that will be as attention-getting as they are thought-provoking.
