There are also several theaters in the park, as well as the world-famous San Diego Zoo. Throughout the year, free concerts and events draw large crowds of tourists and locals.

Further north, Mission Bay Park is super popular with those who enjoy windsurfing, paddleboarding, and other water sports. Comprising over 4,000 acres of land and water, as well as 27 miles of shoreline, Mission Bay Park is also a favorite place to swim, play volleyball, and fly kites. Not only that, but the park is also home to SeaWorld, a major attraction with rides, aquariums, and animal shows.
