"The Cravory specializes in amazingly sweet and unique cookies. They have two shops in San Diego, one in Point Loma and the other in Carlsbad but they also sell at local farmer’s markets. Just some of their cookie flavors include “Pancakes and Bacon,” “Rosemary Balsamic” and “Chocolate Truffle.” Get some to-go for the perfect take-home dessert and enjoy with your date along with some warm, liquored-up coffee or a White Russian for a sweet night cap."
"Cravory Cookies has stolen many hearts around town not only for their fresh-baked creations and changing seasonal flavors, but for their eye-catching colors. These are practically the perfect cookie with a soft gooey center and a crisp surface, making for the most memorable bite you’ll ever have. You can often find these gourmet cookies all over town at many local restaurants and coffee shops that have partnered up to sell them."
"At least that’s the government’s position, despite the fear and misgivings of some in our citizenry. I’m not here to settle that discussion from any public policy standpoint. But I am here to say that cookies have been essential to my own well-being, while at home in isolation."
"Elephant Odyssey is one of the most well known parts of the park. It’s a huge area that’s dedicated solely to several beautiful African and Asian elephants. The Elephants are free to roam among large areas, and it also includes the Elephant Care Center where you may see a zookeeper caring for one of them."
"The Elephant Odyssey is home to the African and Asian elephant habitat. This area includes the majestic elephants along with the Elephant Care Center and Fossil Portal. Guests can also see lions, jaguars, California condor, camels, and the Malayan tapir."
"The San Diego Zoo has more than 3,700 animals, including many rare and endangered species, that are showcased within different habitats throughout the zoo. Visit Africa Rocks to spot leopards and baboons, or journey to the Northern Frontier to watch polar bears swim in their arctic plunge pool. Save your tired feet and take the 35-minute guided bus tour that explores various areas of the park or check out the show schedule where you can learn more about some of the zoo’s inhabitants."
"Spread across 100 acres, the San Diego Zoo is home to 3,700 rare and endangered animals, with some 700,000 plants creating the lush habitats surrounding them. Well known for its animal care and conservation efforts (the zoo employs 300 animal care staff!), the zoo is a top priority for most San Diego-bound travelers. Given its sprawling size, it can be a lot of ground to cover, especially for little legs."
"The San Diego Zoo, which is on 10 acres, is better known but this is just as good. In terms of children’s activities, the African Tram is the hot favorite. Visitors go from an open landscape to a place that looks like an African Savannah."
