Must-See California Theme Parks & Attractions

San Diego is packed with great things to see and do including these top theme parks and attractions.

SeaWorld San Diego

Spread across 190 acres on beautiful Mission Bay Park, SeaWorld is known for its amazing animals, interactive attractions, aquariums, rides, beautiful landscaping and education programs for all ages.

Returning for its 6th season, Boomont & Fall Fest rises from the dusk as Belmont Park transforms with festive Fall thrills and chills throughout the beachfront amusement park, offering Halloween and Fall-themed festivities for guests of all ages in October and November - plus Halloween!

The Californian is a replica of a gold rush era revenue cutter and the Official Tall Ship of the State of California.

Join the crew in sailing a traditionally rigged tall ship. Passengers will be invited to haul a line, man the helm and end their day with a cannon salute. Watch the crew as they scamper up and down the rigging to set and furl the sails. Listen as the Californian’s crew relates the history of sailing and exploration in San Diego, tales of whaling and sea otter trade, local sea battles, the art of ship’s gunnery, life at sea and more.

Brick-or-Treat Party Nights at LEGOLAND® California Resort is back with more Halloween excitement and extended Park open hours!

October means fall has settled in, Halloween is almost here, and kids are free at the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park! During Kids Free presented by Mission Fed, children age 11 years and younger can experience the wonders of wildlife with no admission charge from October 1st through the 31st.

And each weekend in October, there’ll be even more kid-focused fun. On Saturdays and Sundays, kids and their families can enjoy special animal presentations, special activities, enrichment at many of the animal exhibits, and more.
