Belmont Park truly has a little something for everyone. It has the distinction of being the only beach-side amusement park in southern California and its biggest draw is the Giant Dipper which is an original wooden rollercoaster. Another popular attraction is the Plunge, a 175-foot-deep indoor heated pool, the largest in the state. There's also Pirate's Cove which is literally a 7,000-square-foot indoor playground. Plenty of places to shop and dine can be found here, too, so make plans to head to Belmont Park and leave happy.

Grab a performance at the San Diego Junior Theatre, a venue that takes pride in consistently presenting the area's top talent, and where youngsters take their thespian aspirations quite seriously. San Diego Junior Theatre has the distinction of being one of the oldest children's theaters in the United States since opening its doors in 1948.
