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!

Baseball is as American as hotdogs and apple pie, and you can get a heaping helping of the sports action as the San Diego Padres take to the field at PETCO Park for nine innings of fun. Not only does the Major League team work hard for every home-run, you and your family will feel at home in the park with all the great family-oriented promotions, giveaways and fun.

Whether the two of you have kids or just love to be around children, a fun date would definitely include stopping into the San Diego Junior Theatre to see one of the troupe's latest productions.
