Lytle Creek was a great activity for our family. With the pandemic in full swing, we’ve had to try more isolated activities. While It’s still possible to go out, safe options are getting even harder to find. Lytle Creek is nice because you don’t have to hike far to enjoy nice clear water coming down from the mountain.

The Mission Tiki Drive-in Theatre has been in our stable rotation of things to do for years. Even before kids, Trang and I would spend our summer nights watching double features.
Going on the Tanaka Farms U-Pick Wagon Rides with Santa worked out perfectly for us. Our oldest daughter is very much in love with the idea of being a farmer when she grows up so picking veggies and meeting Santa was a win-win.
During our last visit to San Diego, we strolled through Balboa Park. While there was plenty to look at during our visit, we can only imagine how much fun the park would have been pre-Covid.
The Wildlife Learning Center has provided care for displaced, rescued, and zoo-born wild animals for many years. At the time of our visit, the Wildlife Learning Center was only offering private tours so we opted for their Adventure Tour. We initially thought our 4-year-old would enjoy the tour the most, but everyone in the group loved the experience.
The Corona Del Mar State Beach is one of our favorites in Orange County. It’s fine sand and unique landmarks make it a must-visit if you’re looking for a fun beach to take the kids.
We’ve always loved our visits to La Jolla. It’s a location with beautiful views and plenty of activities for families of all ages.
Right at the end of Sixth St. In Norco, CA, you’ll find the entrance to an easy family-friendly hike to a giant rock painted like a pumpkin. The pumpkin rock trail has a couple of nice landmarks to investigate as you make you’re way up the hill.
The homely feel to Greenspot is what we really enjoy about this farm, it’s the least commercialized out of all the other pumpkin patches we’ve visited this year and we like that.
Kids love the zoo, but it can be expensive depending on how big your family is. San Diego Zoo Kids free October is a great time to visit, you can save a lot of money and have one last outing with the family before the sick season starts back up.
