One of the best places in San Diego in my opinion! Here you can get super close to and take pictures with live wild seals! Just remember that they are tolerant of people but not tame! Do not try to pet them and do not try to get too close!

Getting Around
The trolley can take you almost anywhere you want to go. If there isn't a huge group then it's more cost-effective. If you're going to go to the gaslamp/ downtown area I would recommend taking the trolley or an Uber/lift. Parking can get extremely expensive down there!
-QUALCOMM Stadium is within walking distance from my place and it also has a trolley stop.
-Mission valley Center station-Mission Valley Mall, Target and Best Buy.
-Fashion Valley transit center
-Old town transit center
-County center/little Italy
-Seaport Village station
-Convention center station/Comic-Con
-Gaslamp Quarter station/Petco Park (baseball game)
