This is a tiki themed bar and restaurant and a MUST VISIT! Everything about this place is tiki--the mood lights, stormy volcanic eruptions, drink glasses, secret entrance, Polynesian decor. It's speak-easy style so the entrance is a bit hard to find. Look for the Poke shop and they will walk you through a freezer door to the tiki bar. I recommend calling ahead to make reservations. They do allow kids and even have high chairs, but the food is on the exotic side so it might be hard to order for the little ones. The food is more like Tapas or small plates.

Balboa Park is San Diego' s greatest single attraction. Beautiful in every way, and great for the entire family. Wonderful art, architecture, everything! Take my advice and park over at the old navy hospital and take the tram in.
This is by far the best aircraft carrier museum in the nation! The ship hosts all sorts of events and is a highlight of any visit to San Diego. A "City at Sea", thousands of men and women lived for weeks or months at a time on this massive ship. See where they slept, ate, got dental work, haircut, had their clothes laundered. In addition, the flight deck explains how planes took off and landed. Allow yourself 2-3 hours. There are simulator rides and a self-guided tour with headphones.
