Due to the relatively good weather in San Diego all year long, family attractions don’t have to close for the “winter”. Here are some of the places you may wish to visit while in San Diego for SolidWorks World 2012. Have fun with these ideas!
Attractions
- San Diego Zoo
- San Diego Zoo Safari
- Sea World San Diego
- Legoland California
- San Diego Air & Space Museum
Enjoying the town
- San Diego’s Downtown – Creation of downtown areas for denizens has become an art form by its own right in California. Practically every little town to big city has a developed downtown. San Diego is no exception.
- Seaport Villiage – Great place in the San Diego harbor for diner, explore shops and more.
- Coronado Island – Beautiful area to explore, just over the bridge!
- East Villiage – Up and coming area near Gaslamp.
Enjoying the area
- San Diego’s wine country – though it may not be as nearly as developed as other wine regions in California, still might be worth the time to explore.
- La Jolla Cove – Beautiful beach and cove.
- Pacific Coast Highway – for those who may want to drive along the beautiful California coastline. This could be a couple of hours to a couple of days, depending on how far you want to drive and how much you want to see.
Special thanks to Troy Peterson on the SolidWorks forums for many of these ideas.
**UPDATE**
Daniel Herzberg has created a nifty utility on Foursquare (you don’t need to be a member of Foursquare to see the link) that includes additional points of interest and a general map of their locations.
