Nearby Things to Do

One feature that makes the Moxy the preferred choice of repeat visitors to San Diego is its ideal location in the heart of the city. Explore the best attractions and activities on offer in both the Downtown area and the Gaslamp Quarter, where there’s never a dull moment.

Remember, if you’re looking to visit multiple museums, tours, and other attractions, you can’t go wrong with a Go City San Diego pass, which lets you save on admission prices. You can enjoy an additional discount when you purchase your pass before your trip using the discount code, GVSD5OFF.

Sample Local Beer and Wine

Downtown is known for having a vibrant foodie scene, with plenty of unique restaurants as well as breweries and wineries. No trip to San Diego is complete without sampling the food and drink the city has to offer, and the best way to do so is to take a food & beer tour so you can try out multiple different locations.

Embrace San Diego’s thriving craft brewery scene on the California Sunset Brewery Tour and San Diego Craft Brewery Tour, both of which let you sample beers and also get a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s brewed.

If wine is more your style, try the Temecula Wine Tour with Tastings, which also includes a light lunch at a much-beloved local restaurant.

Tour PETCO Park

For San Diego Padres super fans, PETCO Park is the biggest attraction near the Gaslamp Quarter and East Village. Taking a tour of the park is sure to be an unforgettable experience, especially if your vacation happens to coincide with a game.

Of course, you don’t have to be a baseball fanatic to enjoy PETCO Park, which also offers incredible views of the city from the heights of the stands. This is a great family-friendly attraction with plenty of activities for kids, as well as a grassy area for picnic lunches in Gallagher Park.

PETCO Park tours are part of the complete experience offered by the Go City San Diego All-Inclusive pass, so savvy travelers can save on admission. Use these savings to buy tickets to a Padres game, or attend one of the dozens of other events held each year in the massive stadium.

Explore Historic Sights

There are few better neighborhoods for learning about the history of San Diego than the Gaslamp Quarter! If you want to get in touch with the culture and background of the city, be sure to take advantage of the many museums and tours in the area.

One standout choice for history buffs is The Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House. This historic site was originally constructed in 1850 as part of New Town, and underwent many renovations over the years before finally becoming a museum. When you tour The Gaslamp Museum, you’ll get to step back into history, take in Victorian Era architecture, and see what the house was like when it was used as a family home, a hospital, and military barracks.

Admission to The Gaslamp Museum is covered under the Go City San Diego All-Inclusive pass, which offers tourists and locals alike a great way to save while seeing all the best sights of the Gaslamp Quarter.
