October might be the best month for kids in San Diego! Kids Free October is back and over 100 attractions (like theme parks and museums), restaurants, and hotels are offering free admission, meals, or gifts for kids 12 and under!
A lot of places will allow 2 kids per paid adult admission (the zoo will allow 10!), so make sure you check their websites before heading out. Also, something to note is if you have a membership to any of these amazing places, you won't be able to get a kid in free with you. A paid adult admission must be purchased for the deal.
Here are some of the biggest attractions that are participating in Kids Free October:
-Belmont Park
