With having two active boys and needing some flexibility, I recommend OLD TOWN. It is like a small park but no play equipment, but an out door tour yourself historic museum. This is all set back in a time of when you had one room school houses and stage coaches. Parking is free and you can bring a picnic lunch. I always enjoyed walking on the boardwalk at Mission Beach or relaxing with a kite at Mission Bay Park (also free parking) They do have play equipment. If you are up for venturing to North SD County, you may enjoy the Safari Park or formally know as The Wild Animal Park. They are part of the SD zoo....but more natural and "park" like. Lots of guided paths to animals which exhibits look more like Africa. Not to mention a VERY nice and active petting zoo with lots of space. When it comes to nap time, take the boys on the monorail where they are sure to fall asleep but gives you a chance to enjoy the hour plus ride through the open wildlife setting :) Don't get me wrong....the zoo is very nice, but do you want to see animals in "apartments" or in a more natural setting?Yolo Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895972607769416828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-4161195245392526842012-05-01T21:45:57.313-07:002012-05-01T21:45:57.313-07:00First, I'm jealous.

Still pretty and the seals are funny. We went to Scripps acquarium, it was fun but i don't know if it's worth the money. I heard Balboa park is fun.

And hilarious.<br /><br />I hear that Leo Carillo Ranch in Carlsbad is pretty great (and FREE!) and I'm trying to check it out before we move in a few weeks.<br /><br />Here's a great post about stuff to do in SD from another twin mom: http://www.girlsgonechild.net/2012/04/gogo-san-diego-sponsored.html<br /><br />Anyway, it would be cool to get together betsyreddoch@gmail.comBetsy Hite Reddochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419016376737770125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-25736860823673711642012-05-01T14:57:51.132-07:002012-05-01T14:57:51.132-07:00The zoo would be great, as the boys would both get...The zoo would be great, as the boys would both get in free. Balboa is always free. Another couple fun/free-ish options — Seaport Village (right off the bay with shops, restaurants and areas for the kids to run around), La Jolla Cove (you can go see live seals on the beach), I've heard the aquarium is good (but I haven't been). I also think there's a children's museum downtown.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512538110236411673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-11688550461026436312012-05-01T11:50:28.111-07:002012-05-01T11:50:28.111-07:00i live in san diego! :) i vote going to the zoo. i...i live in san diego! :) i vote going to the zoo. it's one of my favorite places here and i know your little boys would love it. if you do go, make sure you check out the otters :)kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952732061528621227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-79113066777918025142012-05-01T11:47:27.842-07:002012-05-01T11:47:27.842-07:00I have heard that the Dairy Queen in Scipio has a ...I have heard that the Dairy Queen in Scipio has a petting zoo??????
