Are there any real kosher restaurants in SD? Trying to plan a few things out and it seems all the places are either Cafes or take out and the Cafe closes at 7:30 during the week.
Yup that's about it.

Definitely go to SeaWorld. It has great shows and pretty good rides. The lines can be terrible unless you buy the pass( don't remember what it's called)

La Jolla cove: a ton of water sports there. You can go to the water in many areas there, just find a decent spot and park.

Zoo has 🐼 Panda bears and the famous zipline.

Sorry don't remember..

1 additional thing though. They debuted a new orca/ killer whale show that's not as good as the old one.

Is the Safari Park worth it if you're just gonna do what's included in the basic admission (1-day pass) and not do any of the add-on safaris?
for sure. Chase arts and culture shaves a chunk of the price off

I was able to book Kayaking in La Jolla for a trip in two weeks via Living Social. I used a 20% off coupon http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=13638.270

I saved about $40 reserving it in advance. Look on Living Social and Groupon as they both currently have 20% off.

I'm getting the GoCard and the Safari Park is included so I'm not worried about the price. Unless you're talking about the cost of additional safaris, in which case I'd like to know more.

looks like the GoCard is the way to go, especially if you are doing the 3,5 or 7 day deal since you get access to seaworld with VIP line privilege.

I'm not planning on doing SeaWorld so I don't need the 3, 5, or 7 pass. I'm actually gonna be there for 2.5 days (Friday I'm driving back to LA) so I'm getting the 2 day pass from Costco (and saving 20%). I'm also gonna be in San Francisco the following Sun-Tues and I'm gonna do a "build your own" GoCard and I can apparently add San Diego attractions to the pass with my San Francisco stuff and still get the 20% off, so I'll do that for whatever I do on Friday (my half day in San Diego).

yes nice area with nice view from the top and you could go into and climb up a now defunct light house

tide pools also nice as it over looks bay/ocean 

also on a positive notice this wont cost you an arm and and  a leg as i think you just pay for parking?
