Baseball is as American as hotdogs and apple pie, and you can get a heaping helping of the sports action as the San Diego Padres take to the field at PETCO Park for nine innings of fun. Not only does the Major League team work hard for every home-run, you and your family will feel at home in the park with all the great family-oriented promotions, giveaways and fun.

The Museum of Us makes it completely clear that their entire focus is "all about people." From prehistoric relics through man's development into the complex creature into which he has evolved, the museum does a dramatic and highly visual journey to illustrate the many faces of the species..

Belmont Park truly has a little something for everyone. It has the distinction of being the only beach-side amusement park in southern California and its biggest draw is the Giant Dipper which is an original wooden rollercoaster. Another popular attraction is the Plunge, a 175-foot-deep indoor heated pool, the largest in the state. There's also Pirate's Cove which is literally a 7,000-square-foot indoor playground. Plenty of places to shop and dine can be found here, too, so make plans to head to Belmont Park and leave happy.
