LegolandThe San Diego area is a great destination for children and those young at heart, and there is no better time to visit San Diego and explore the kid-friendly attractions than right now.

LEGOLAND California has recently been named by Amusement Today as the #1 Children’s Park in the United States. LEGOLAND hosted the Golden Ticket awards, which honored top parks in a variety of categories. This is not the first time that LEGOLAND has received this honor. Since its creation ten years ago, LEGOLAND has received top honors several times.

LEGOLAND is located in Carlsbad, California, which is just a short drive from San Diego. This unique park features full-scale roller coasters and dioramas constructed out LEGOs, which include the White House (complete with the presidential family) and New York City. In addition to the thrilling roller coasters and entertaining shows, visitors to LEGOLAND can enjoy a comedy show, LEGO characters, shopping, and restaurants. Kids of all ages will find something to love at LEGOLAND.

The San Diego Zoo is another popular attraction for children, especially in October. For the entire month of October, the San Diego Zoo offers free admission to children 11 and under. With free admission for children, October is the perfect time to visit the San Diego Zoo and see the brand-new Elephant Odyssey exhibit, which features several different displays on elephant life and history, along with an elephant habitat with seven elephants. The total size of the elephant exhibit is 2.4 acres, which gives them plenty of room to roam. The Elephant Odyssey also has several other exhibits with animals, including dung beetles, capybaras, a lion, and a jaguar. In addition to this new feature, the zoo offers several other popular exhibits, including Panda Research Station (home of the panda cam), Tiger River, Flamingo Lagoon, and the Children’s Zoo. Kids of all ages are sure to love a trip to the San Diego Zoo, and there is no better time to go than October!
