San Pasqual Park

Nine holes with a spinning windmill, shaded by old trees, and short enough for a small kid to finish.

Counter-service fish tacos and burritos. Order, sit, eat, done, which is exactly what a weeknight with kids needs.

Park with a playground and a picnic area.

Three acres of winding paths, citrus trees and butterflies. Made for slow wandering, and easy with a stroller.

A working 1915 soda fountain inside an actual pharmacy. Hand-dipped shakes and ice cream sodas.

A diner from 1943 with its own Little Stinko's menu for kids and a proper soda-fountain sundae to finish.
