Historic Carousel at Seaport Village, San Diego
Address 849 West Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101 Map, Tel 619-235-4014 Call, Website
Rides on the Seaport Village antique carousel with your children (or even just for adults) are not to be missed! The carousel has 54 animals and was designed by Charles Looff (worth wiki-ing, he's the king of carousels). Rides are $2/person. Parking is for-fee. Full disclosure: A Ben & Jerry's is right nearby. While you're there: Shopping at Seaport Village is somewhat eclectic (not chains), but it's a pleasant outdoor stroll, and you might find an unusual gift or odd souvenir; we usually pop in the Upstart Crow bookstore-with-cafe (http://www.upstartcrowtrading.com/index.html).
