One of the most popular destinations in California is probably Disneyland. A trip to Disneyland for you and your family has become a cost effective and fun vacation. Disneyland tickets, with the use of CityPass, can get you lots of bonus features: admission to Disneyland and California Adventure and a Magic Morning entry that lets you get into the park one hour before it opens.

The San Diego Zoo is another great trip idea for your family. The zoo in San Diego is probably one of the most famous in the world. It’s actually made up of two locations. The San Diego Zoo and then the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. Both spots offer a great collection of wildlife to see.

Finally, there’s Universal Studios in Hollywood, California. The Studio Tour at Universal has been going on for years and offers a great look into what goes on at a movie set behind-the-scenes. They also have a collection of movie theme rides and so make sure you get there early to avoid the long lines.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a history buff and San Diego has a ton of attractions for anyone who is like-minded. The city also has several professional sports teams to go see no matter what time of the year you visit.

If you’re thinking about visiting San Diego but aren’t interested in typical hotel accommodations then consider a vacation rental instead. The vacation rentals in San Diego are quite affordable. If you’re looking for a condo, there are many quality San Diego vacation condo rentals available. For business clients or company events make sure to look into San Diego corporate vacation rentals as well.

If what San Diego has to offer isn’t enough for you the city shares a border with Tijuana, Mexico and is just south of Orange County. This prime location gives you access to a ton of more vacation destinations if you aren’t afraid of a little extra driving or dealing with crossing the border.
