"The location of the first-ever World’s Fair, Balboa Park feels like a grand old European boulevard. Seventeen museums, a multitude of gardens, five playgrounds, a carousel, a train for children, the famous Old Globe Theatre, and more reside here. A hit with the preschooler set, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum houses one of the largest indoor model train displays in the world."
"This is the place where the first-ever World’s Fair took place. I know it reminds you of Silvester Stalone but that’s not the vibe here. It has 17 museums, five playgrounds, a carousel and a train for children."
"Balboa Park is one of the largest urban cultural parks in the United States. It has been home to a pair of world's fairs, and many of the buildings here were built for these expositions.[Learn more]"
"You might not know this, but they have a not so secret menu!!. A few must tries from the “secret” menu are animal style fries (french fries with grilled onions, melted cheese and their famous sauce), animal style burger, and a grilled cheese. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one, because it truly is the one of the best cheap eats in Carlsbad!"
"With 300 locations, In-N-Out is a family owned business, featuring fresh ingredients and great customer service. Building there company on the belief "quality you can taste" this California favorite is a must have."

"Dave & Busters is a fun place for both kids and adults alike!. With food, drinks and so many games, it is an endless day of fun all in one spot. We like to go for lunch when they open so that we have plenty of time for games before it’s time to head home for nap time."
"However, San Diego County is home to a staggering 125 craft breweries. Heavy hitters include Stone Brewing Co., Modern Times, Pizza Port, Bellast Point Brewing Company, AleSmith Brewing, Green Flash and Karl Strauss. From sours to stouts, there’s something for every beer aficionado."
"Dan and I recently visited the Invigatorium because of his love for dinosaurs, but not going to lie I was excited too!. The vibe is Jurassic Park-inspired!. Make sure to try out the breakfast tacos when there too!"
"Another great brunch spot that I used to go to all the time when I lived in North County. It has a Mexican food twist to all the dishes, but super CLEAN & fresh. I get the yin & yang breakfast which is rosemary potatoes, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, red bean, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, & a tortilla (I add poached eggs on top) & their golden fairy dust latte which is chai tea, ginger, cinnamon, sub the soy milk for almond milk… to die for!!!"

"Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion® Cuisine promises to make for one of the most unique fine dining experiences available. Open for dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 619-239-7697"
"While Tribute may not get all the press that San Diego's other (also good) pizza spots get, this is perhaps the best pizza in the city. The name is literal—the restaurant pays "tribute" to famous pizza styles, from the New York slice to Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, whose chef-owner has been a mentor to Tribute's chef-owner Matthew Lyons. Next to each pizza style is a specific mention of whom they're tipping their hat to, even another pizzeria in San Diego."
"Look beyond Tribute’s pizza menu and straight to the grill options if you’re looking for something special. Available Friday-Sunday, the restaurant serves up wood grilled items like honeynut squash, chicken wings, porchetta, wild Mexican shrimp and farmers market veggies. Tack on some cocktails to-go and you have yourself a full-fledged meal appropriate for any special occasion."
