Downtown San Diego
San Diego is the ultimate tourist attraction for families with children, and not just because of the Southern California beaches and sparkling Mission and San Diego bays. The city is also home to SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Legoland and other attractions. San Diego also has several top-notch family-friendly hotels.
Bahia Resort Hotel
Every day is an adventure in San Diego, especially for lodgers at the Bahia Resort Hotel.
