Any suggestions for things to do in La Jolla with my kids?
 

Specifically things to do in La Jolla - no Sea World/San Diego Zoo, etc :winkwink:

Thanks in advance!

LegoLand, off of the I-5 near Carlsbad.

Wild Animal Park, east of Escondido

Belmont Park, off of South Mission BL, west of Sea World (roller coaster and other fun rides).

I guess it depends upon the ages of the children. Disney land is only a little over an hour's drive north of LaJolla.

The dolphins are out in force today at Pacific Beach and Mission Beach.

boogie boarding at wind&sea beach.

Didn't he say specifically things to do in La Jolla?

In La Jolla, walk down to the lifeguard tower along the water and go out on the walkway that extends into the ocean and check out the seals and the great view. You could go down to La Jolla shores beach and rent a kayak, there's a great route along the shoreline. You could also try surfing lessons there depending on the ages of your children. From La Jolla shores, drive just a couple minutes north to Birch Aquarium , the kids will love it.

There is the beach in La Jolla where they can see the sealions. Good for 5 minutes of attention for kids.

Great link!

Thanks!

This looks like a fun thing to do (which was also suggested by some others on FB) http://www.beachcalifornia.com/chilr...-la-jolla.html

Seals down by the cover are great fun. If your kids are big enough get some masks and snorkels and go down to the cover and get in the water. Shallow for the first part and filled with fish to watch

Looking for La Jolla specific but thanks Dave :)

Hope all is well with you, man!

BTW - I'm moving down to SD again soon so I hope we can connect once i'm settled in :thumbsup

I'll save that for when i move down ... they love that :)

That also looks like fun!

:thumbsup

weather is great today in SD> well its great everyday.. didnt know some of you were out here.. im in gaslamp

I'll take any 5 minutes of, "Daddy this is cool!" I can get :winkwink:

Masks and snorkels sound great too. :thumbsup

Can't wait to be down there full-time!

Indeed, that June gloom hung around for most of July : /

The cove at La Jolla is a wildlife preserve, no taking of fish or animals is permitted and the cove is full of nice animals to see.

The Cove is fun. Have a picnic on the grass down there. You can snorkle there too!

You could also take them up near the Salk Institute over by UCSD and watch the hangliders from the cliff. Really kewl.

Just thought I'd post a few picks from a trip I took to LaJolla
a few years ago so others can see what's being talked about.

Great place and the kids should have lots of fun :thumbsup

I was just going to say you could go up to the glider port and watch or even partake. I don't remember what it costs, but you can pay for "rides."

Blacks Beach , hehe

Quote" the unofficial "clothing-optional" practice here is also nice if you want to save yourself the time and money to go to the tanning salon."

Next time I am down in San Diego I will have to take my son there. He would have a blast.

This is definitely on the "to do' list!

That sounds like fun too!

Thanks man :thumbsup:thumbsup

No rides but I think we'll go there too!

LOL

Thanks for the link, John!

Definitely looks like a good call!

Definitely the seals and then walk to the lighthouse - I was down there yesterday with my 2 year old - and she is making us go back on Sunday :winkwink:

Sweet! That's such a great age :)

It sure is....except when we're reading the same book for the 25th time in 15 minutes :winkwink:

I used to live near there, Seal beach is cool. The diving is alright (if you like kelp beds and cold water)


Spanx!

Stingray Shuffle won't stop a jelly fish
 

I wouldn't take kids to the beach... La Jolla has been invaded by jelly fish and stingrays. If you go... make sure you do the stingray shuffle walking in any depth of water However, that won't stop a jelly fish ...And as I write this, I see there's been another shark sighting in La Jolla today... That's a good ol' La Jolla hat trick. ...Trifecta! Speaking of Trifectas! Do your kids like ponys? ...Take them to the Del Mar race track for the horse races! Show em a Del Mar Trifecta!

Do NOT go into the water at either the LaJolla Cove or the LaJolla Shores beaches -- the news today is reporting that lifeguards have two credible sightings of Great White sharks being spotted between those two beaches and the nearby pier.

Be careful!

Here's alink to the shark matter in LaJolla:
