Is your child fascinated with space?

Does she have a thing for seahorses?

Would they be mesmerized by model trains?

Want to share San Diego history with your kids? See some sea lions from the bow of a boat? Eager to visit the cheetahs just born at the San Diego Zoo?

October is a great month to explore San Diego with your family since some of our city’s finest attractions offer free admission for children 12 and younger. In addition to 38 museums, Legoland, Seaworld, Hornblower Cruises, the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Safari Park each admit children for free with a paying adult for the next month.
