Read on for some ideas on what to do with your family during Spring Break 2023 in San Diego!

Go Strawberry Picking
If you are looking for a fun and popular springtime activity in Carlsbad, give strawberry picking a try! Located in coastal Carlsbad, the third generation Carlsbad Strawberry Company is a family-run “U-pick” farm. Families can enjoy strawberry picking from January through July. In the fall, look for a pumpkin patch and corn maze at this same location.
Sea World San Diego
For some all-day family fun, check out Sea World! Spend the day riding thrilling coasters, come face to face with real-life sharks, dolphins, and check out the amazing animal shows at Sea World.
Be sure to check out the new Sesame Place featuring seven Sesame Street-themed dry rides, an interactive musical play area, and eleven water attractions including a 500,000 gallon wave pool – one of the largest in Southern California.
Launching this Spring is the fastest and longest straddle coaster on the West Coast called Arctic Rescue. On this coaster, you hop on your snowmobile and ride to the rescue as poachers are lurking, and the Arctic animals are in peril.
San Diego Zoo
Located near downtown, the San Diego Zoo has been attracting visitors for over 100 years. An over 100-acre urban oasis, the zoo offers educational fun for the whole family. It’s a must-visit for parents with toddlers, school-age kids, and even teens.
Be advised, the zoo is quite large and there are a lot of hills to climb. Be sure to grab a map at the gate and try to come up with a plan so you don’t miss a thing!
Stroll Through the Flower Fields
Every spring, between March and May, you can witness one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields in Carlsbad. Also be sure to check out gem-mining, free concerts, tractor-pulled wagon rides, and a maze made of sweet peas.
