What parents say
"Enjoy a delightful shopping and dining experience by the bay! There are plenty of restaurants and stores to choose from. Take a stroll along the scenic walking path that ends near the convention center. The path runs north and leads you to the nautical museum and the Wasp museum. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the bay."

"A great place to spend a few hours strolling. Plenty of restaurants, haunts to grab a drink, and sights to see (check out the historic carousel), a few trailed people run in, and shops to browse. There’s two paid parking lots at the entrance. Great views alongside the water and across to Coronado Island. Popular location to fly kites. Something for everyone!"

"Nice waterfront atmosphere and views to walk around. Everything was very expensive from parking to food and drinks to shops. Lots of outdoor seating. Nothing extraordinary and you're more really missing much if you've been to any other urban waterfront. But it's good for a nice safe walk around."
