Free things to do with kids in La Jolla
Kellogg Park Playground
An ocean-themed playground steps from the sand, for when small kids have had enough of the water.
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
A big lawn above the cove, made for running around and a picnic with the ocean right there.
Bird Rock Park
Climb, slide, then run around on the grass. Short, simple and close to the water.
Villa La Jolla Park
A tot area and bigger slides side by side, with open grass around them so siblings of different ages can split up.
Children's Pool Seal Viewpoint
Harbor seals on the beach below, watched from the walkway close enough to count them.
