LEGOLAND California: Situated approximately 35 miles from the city, LEGOLAND California is one of the state’s premier theme parks. With over 60 rides (including three rollercoasters), exciting attractions and live shows, there is something to keep the whole family entertained. In addition, LEGOLAND Resort offers two water parks as well as free admission to the SEA LIFE Aquarium.
Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum: The only museum in the world dedicated to the United States Marine Corps (USMC), the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum is located around 15 miles from San Diego. Here you will find the largest and most complete collection of vintage aircraft flown by Marine pilots. The museum charts the fascinating history of USMC Aviation and the important role it has played in defending America and the freedom of the American people.
Torrey Pines State Beach and Natural Reserve Park: Although Torrey Pines is located just 16 miles from the centre of San Diego, this beautiful area remains one of the wildest stretches of land along the Southern Californian coastline. The protected area (which covers 2000 acres) features eight miles of trails, beautiful white sands and a lagoon that is vital to migrating seabirds. Due to the conservation efforts made here, Torrey Pines gives visitors an impression of how California must have once looked when the early settlers and Spanish explorers first arrived.
