San Diego with kids.

[sherbanator]

I am excited, we are going to San Diego next week with a 4 and 5 year old. I tHink we are going to do Lego land and the zoo. Any recs on specific kid friendly restaurants or what we should do. We are really only going to be there for 3 days, is that enough time to do both things?

[angelaa73]

sure you can do both. you will probably eat dinner at both parks, so if you want a kid friendly place for the 3rd night, I recommend Corvette Diner. it's super fun for kids. loud. crazy and the staff looks like extras in hairspray

[wannabe]

Legoland will be fun for kids that age! Have a great time!

[sherbanator]

Is the zoo worth the money? Is it really that much better than all the other zoos?

[gretchenindisguise]

The zoo is amazing, but expensive. I think I have some coupons. Want one?

[textbookcase]

Where are you staying? Absolutely, the zoo is worth it! Best zoo ever. I might have coupons, too. I'll look.

We are staying on the base. I think it's called Miramar. I'm a veteran so we are staying in their hotel and I looked at the mwr ticket priCes. Total it would be 122.50 for all of our zoo tickets and 229.00 for Lego land.

[sherbanator]

I wish we had more time!

Miramar!

I loved the Corvette Diner as a kid, and I still love it now!

I may be alone in this, but I honestly prefer the Wild Animal Park over the zoo. It may be because I've been there so many times? It's still amazing though!

[sherbanator]

Ok miso, what is your favorite place to eat inside the zoo? Any favorite zoo foods? Lol, eating is really b important to me.

[sherbanator]

We will definitely be checKing out b the corvette diner. :-)

For a 4 and 5 year old, I would recommend the New Children's Museum in downtown SD.

Because eating is important to me, I do not eat at the zoo.

If you can get a hold of a Lego Club Magazine, they usually have a coupon for a Free Child Ticket with the purchase of a Regular Adult Ticket.

We did Sea World, the zoo, the Wild Animal Park, and Lego Land when we lived near San Diego.

ETA:  the St Louis zoo kicks all kinds of ass, and it's free.  The polar bear plunge is pretty cool at the San Diego zoo, though.

jenna I'll look for the magazine, thanks
