Vacationing on the West Coast offers infinite unique experiences, whether you prefer hiking outdoors or exploring new cities. San Diego is one of the West Coast's can't-miss destinations, and while you could easily spend more time, there's a lot you can do with a day trip to San Diego.
The temperate climate in San Diego makes the city an ideal place to visit year-round. While you could stay whenever, there are specific times that could help you beat the crowds and enjoy weather that is not too hot or cold. Spring, from March to May, is one of the best times to take a trip to San Diego because of its mild temperatures. There are also usually fewer visitors because school is still in session.
You could also visit during the fall between September and November. The temperatures turn milder compared to summer, and fewer people visit once school starts back up after the summer break.
No matter when you visit, spending a day in San Diego will be unforgettable.
San Diego offers so much to see and do. To help you make the most of your time in the city, we have created an itinerary so you know what to do in San Diego for a day.
Spend part of your day exploring Balboa Park and all its cultural attractions. With 1,200 acres of land, the park is home to various museums, shops, gardens, walking trails, cafes and restaurants. You could spend a couple of hours visiting a museum or two or walking around the gardens and shopping areas.
After walking around Balboa Park, go to the San Diego Zoo. The zoo is in the middle of Balboa Park, so if you head there first, you could eventually find your way to the zoo. You and your family will love learning about the various exotic and rare animals from around the world.
After the park and zoo, take a trolley to the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, where the first European settlement on the West Coast was founded. Walk around and take in all the history the area has, including one of the only two officially designated haunted houses in the state.
After a long day in San Diego, head back to Boulevard / Cleveland National Forest KOA Holiday to relax with comfortable amenities and lodging options. Get ready for your trip by booking your stay today!
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
