Discover You Child’s New Favorite Museum

Kids Free in October is back, this year, with 40+ museums. Here's the San Diego Museum Council's guide to exploring an unforgettable community of award-winning museums all over San Diego, with the whole family.

For more than 40 years, the San Diego community has welcomed in the holiday season by celebrating the annual December Nights at Balboa Park. Due to the current pandemic conditions, we are saddened that our beloved gift to the region cannot occur as we know it. Instead, the City of San Diego is offering a "Taste of December Nights."

The program will have some of your favorite food vendors and food trucks from past December Nights in a drive-thru setting in the Inspiration Point parking lot near Balboa Park.

Wild Holidays proudly supported by California Coast Credit Union are on the way at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and this year's celebration - on select dates Nov. 27, 2020 through Jan. 3 2021 - will offer safe, festive fun for the entire family. See the Safari Park in a whole new light! Go on a holiday expedition of light and travel through places that glow and twinkle with holiday cheer. During Wild Holidays the Safari Park will be open from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM each day, with holiday festivities from 4:00 to 8:00 PM.

There will be culinary delights to enjoy at the Safari Park’s food stands, and guests can shop for the perfect holiday gifts at the Safari Park's retail locations.

Being at home doesn’t have to be a “bear” when you can catch all the action on the San Diego Zoo’s Polar Cam, and other live wildlife cams featuring animals at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park. From their habitat to yours, these livestreaming video cams provide “being there” views of wildlife as they explore, eat, swing, roll, pounce, scratch, and play through their day.

There’s always something exciting going on in the big Dan and Vi McKinney Penguin Habitat in Africa Rocks, home to a large colony of African penguins. The spacious Penguin Beach features a cobblestone beach, a gigantic 200,000-gallon saltwater pool, nesting areas, and rockwork that mimics the granite boulders found at Boulders Beach in South Africa.
