There are many places to go in San Diego, from tiny neighborhood parks to huge world-class attractions. As you will see, there are many places appropriate to the 3 and under crowd. I have included a few expensive places to go, like Sea World and the San Diego Zoo, with the idea that you will get an annual pass to these places. $126 for an annual pass for 2 adults may seem pretty steep for some of you, but I think it is a great deal in the long run. You can go practically any day of the year, you have many miles of walking/entertainment opportunities in beautiful settings, there are amenities like bathrooms and concession stands, and you generally feel very safe.

PLAYGROUNDS San Diego Playgrounds: STOP! Before you go to any of the following links, try this one first. Subtitled "The Cure for Cabin Fever," this is a great resource for finding playgrounds (which are always situated in parks, although parks do not always have playgrounds). You can view people's evaluations of each playground, as well as submit a review of your own! PARKS Federal
Cabrillo National Monument (part of the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service) LMVA - Laguna Mountain Volunteer Association: "The Laguna Mountain Association is a not-for-profit group of dedicated volunteers that works closely with the United States Forest Service to provide recreational and environmental opportunities for visitors to the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area (and to just have some fun with each other). But to really get to know us, take a virtual hike with us from the Sunset Trailhead at Mt. Laguna, 45 miles east of San Diego and 5500 feet above sea level." State State Parks in San Diego: These include beaches, deserts, monuments, parks, and more! County-Maintained Parks City-Maintained Parks
