Let the kids burn off some energy at SeaWorld’s new Bay of Play, go exploring at Legoland’s Land of Adventure or pack a picnic and enjoy a leisurely afternoon at historic Balboa Park. Stay at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency Mission Bay for tons of fun. The water playground with multiple pools and waterslides will keep everyone happy and entertained. The Dana has two pools and open lawns along Mission Bay Park to get out and romp around.
