San Diego - Tourist Attractions / Parks
There are a number of unique and interesting things to do when
visiting San Diego. Balboa Park is home to over a dozen museums and
parks, from the San Diego Zoo to the Spreckels Organ Pavilion and a
Japanese Friendship Garden. Also in the park is the Globe Theater,

historic Giant Dipper Roller Coaster at Mission Beach to scenic tours
of the San Diego Coastline. Hornblower Cruises take guests on narrated
harbor tours, with a great overview of the varied natural and man-made
history of the area. The Naval Base on Coronado offers tours of
several vessels ranging from destroyers to submarines, depending on
what’s in port and declassified, and the historic three-masted
schooner Star of India is open year-round for tours, along with two
other vessels managed by the San Diego Maritime Museum.
