Is Spring Break in San Diego Expensive?
No. Spring Break in San Diego does not have to be expensive.
Cheap Spring Break destinations are in short supply, with popular spots like New Orleans, Miami Beach, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs promising expensive travel costs.
Luckily, San Diego is full of free things to do and cheap activities, plus budget-friendly hotels that are perfect for price sensitive travelers like myself, especially with a Go City San Diego pass in hand.

Does San Diego Have Spring Break Activities for Younger Kids?
Yes! My top choices for things to do with younger kids during Spring Break would be visiting the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, LEGOLAND California in Carlsbad, during LEGOLAND’s Spring Festival if possible, and a theme park or two like Belmont Park on Mission Beach or SeaWorld San Diego in Mission Bay Park.
You could also visit one of the more than a dozen family-friendly museums in Balboa Park or throughout San Diego. Our founder Todd’s kids favorites are the NAT (San Diego Natural History Museum) in Balboa Park and the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum in the Embarcadero.
As someone with young kids in my family and my friend groups, I understand the importance of keeping kid’s minds growing during their time off from school. I can say that these museums are fun and educational which is perfect for young kids with their families during Spring Break.
Also, all of these things to do (and about 45 more) are part of the Go City San Diego pass, my #1 tip for families, and college students, to know about getting the cheapest admission prices possible!
