The big theme parks get the headlines, but San Diego's best family days are quieter, cheaper, and closer to the water.
Spend a morning in Balboa Park, where more than a dozen museums sit within walking distance of each other, then head up to the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla for hands-on tanks with a view. On a low tide, the tide pools at Cabrillo or along the La Jolla coast turn into an afternoon the kids won't forget.
Local tip
Free museum Tuesdays in Balboa Park rotate through the month — check which museums are free the day you're going and build around them.
Pack layers and reef shoes; the marine layer keeps mornings cool and the rocks are slippery when the tide's out.
