West Coast = Best Coast for PA Family Fun!
America’s Finest City should also be nicknamed America’s “Funnest” City! There are so many family-friendly activities in the San Diego area, from the beach to the ballpark, to Balboa and beyond! Check out a recap of a few of our top picks below (along with several new and exclusive tips), and make time in your AAPA 2024 Summer Meeting schedule – remember, lectures end by or before 4:30 pm each day, so you and your family and friends will have plenty of free time to enjoy all the fun and sun that San Diego has to offer.
Have a roaring good time at Balboa Park!

As the 1,200-acre home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, multiple museums, recreational activities, and plenty of green space, there is something to please everyone at this first-class attraction.
Hit a home run at Petco Park!

Just a five-minute walk from the host hotel, Petco Park offers Daily Tours to experience the ballpark as only players and staff do. Enjoy breathtaking city views and learn about the history of the park and the San Diego Padres.
Light it up in the Gaslamp Quarter!

This historic district – and home to the host hotel – is not only the heart but also the soul of downtown San Diego, with restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and amenities to suit every taste.
Cool down with a day across the bay!

Coronado Beach is just a quick drive or ferry ride from the host hotel. Spend the day swimming, surfing, or just relaxing at the beautiful beach, and explore historic Hotel del Coronado and the surrounding picturesque community.
Take a trip back in time in Old Town!

Old Town has a quaint atmosphere, filled with culture and traditions. This historic area includes three major parks and sits next to the State Park with 32 historical sites, souvenir shops, and the Presidio, the site of the first mission.
Feel the breeze at Seaport Village!

Seaport Village is a charming shopping and dining destination located along the waterfront. From casual eateries to fine dining, sweet treats to boutiques, there’s an option for everyone in the fam. Bonus: it’s super ‘grammable!
