La Jolla Attractions

"If you don't want to deal with the lines at SeaWorld", this "small but excellent aquarium" maintained by a respected "research institution" may be "just the right size" (the "crowds are never overwhelming") for enjoying "fascinating" displays that include an exhibit on global warming and "hands-on" areas that let visitors "touch a sea cucumber" or two; also making a big splash is a striking "setting overlooking the ocean" in "beautiful La Jolla."

A "true tournament course with magnificent views of the Pacific", this "magical" "seaside monster" has cemented its place "in the history of golf given the epic 2008 U.S. Open victory by Tiger Woods"; with "brutal rough" and "par 4s [that] feel like par 6s", it just may be the "best value in the country with a San Diego resident card", and while out-of-towners find it "overpriced" for the "spartan" muni facilities, most conclude "you have to play it once, so pony up the money, take in the views and just have fun."
