西溪老翁The national monument of Caporio was named after the Portuguese navigator who climbed the west bank of North America here. The park is located on the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California, and is managed by the United States National Park Service (National Park Service).

34. Waterfront Park
3.69 Reviewsbased on 92 reviews
TodemmyWalking along Lake Champlain is a must. Wide roads and well-configured benches stretching endlessly. Watch the undulating sailboats or waves on the pier. If you have children, visit the Leich Centre (ECHO) or take a free yacht when weather permits. The parks and scenery here really relax you unless you choose to do more physical activities such as cycling or running.San Diego1.6km from downtown

36. Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum
3.610 Reviewsbased on 384 reviews西溪老翁San Diego Japan Friendship Park (Japanese Friendship Garden San Diego). There are Japanese parks in many cities in the United States. These Japanese parks are a bit similar and are also messengers to spread Japanese culture, increase Americans' understanding of Japan, and enhance the friendship between the two countries. Japanese parks are not big, but they have distinctive Japanese characteristics and are very delicate. San Diego Japan Friendly Park is in Balboa park in San Diego. San Diego and Yokohama are sister cities, so the park has become a symbol of friendship between the two cities. It is a bit different from Seattle, which has the oldest Japanese park in the United States. (The Japanese garden in Seattle was built with active fundraising from local Japanese people.) In 1999, the famous Japanese architect Takeo Uesugi completed the design of the Friendship Park, but it was not until 2015 that all his architectural ideas were implemented. Uesugi's design concept is fully guided by the principle of returning to the truth: Quqiao flowing water, stone lanterns, Japanese maples, pine trees, rhododendrons, teahouses, etc. Entering the park, immediately lamenting the Japanese ingenuity and love for nature.San Diego1.8km from downtown
37. Mission Trails Regional Park
3.63 Reviewsbased on 181 reviews
love is blueIf you’re a nature lover and you want to see what San Diego North County looks like before the property developers take over, then your chance comes. There’s a huge area of bushes, and most of the animals’ habitat is well preserved. You can see the pumas here. There is also all the local wildlife you can imagine. I hope the area will never be developed. Naturalists and hikers will love this place, but those who are not interested will find this wilderness area boring. It’s good, because there are already many tourists.San Diego14.8km from downtown
38. Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
3.65 Reviewsbased on 2.0k reviewsTodemmyAlthough this aquarium cannot be compared to the Monterey Bay and Georgia Aquarium, it is still very worth a visit. The exhibits are well managed. There are particularly commendable seagrass forests and seagull exhibitions, and there are many things to interact with children. There is a table outside where you can see the beautiful scenery of La Jolla and the ocean, especially when the weather is clear. There are plenty of options to choose from for gifts and souvenirs at the gift shop. Again, it’s not a very large aquarium, but it’s worth a visit if you’re in this area. The kids will love it.San Diego18.9km from downtown
39. Children's Pool La Jolla
3.61 Reviewbased on 1.4k reviews
coo***anWe came here at a time when the waves were big and the sea lions were famous, but I only saw one young sea lion rolling in the water. Generally there should be a large group. They used loudspeakers and barking hounds to drive the sea lions away, allowing locals to reclaim the beach, but this was destined to be an inappropriate way, because once the loudspeaker was turned off the sea lions were back. It doesn’t feel very suitable for a children’s pool and I think swimming there is now banned.La Jolla18.6km from downtown
