So. Cal Fall Family Activities at a Glance
Disneyland and Downtown Disney
This is a must-visit stop for families visiting Southern California. Fall is a great time to visit Disneyland as you will have missed most of the summer rush, while just beating the start of school. The weather in Southern California tends to be a bit cooler in the fall, allowing you to enjoy this iconic park without the sweltering heat of summer.
As a bonus, if you are looking for a break from the chaos of the parks, Downtown Disney offers a fun family experience without an admission cost. Plus, the nearby proximity to Downtown Disney gives you two activities within easy travel distance of one another, allowing you to get more bang for your buck when visiting this location.
San Diego Zoo
Located just minutes away from downtown San Diego, the San Diego Zoo is one of the most popular family travel locations in Southern California, and for good reason. This zoo is committed to wildlife preservation and offers plenty of activities throughout the zoo that are fun for the whole family.
Those looking to see the animals within the park can stroll through at their leisure, while there are plenty of VIP programs that allow you and your family to get up close and personal with the animals. Keep in mind that later in the fall schools may have field trips scheduled in the zoo, which may make things a bit more crowded. Still, experiencing the cooler weather and even cooler animals are well worth braving the crowds.
