Taking a Peek At Attractions’ Summer Offerings

According to a recent poll conducted by both Travel + Leisure magazine, and America Online’s Travel Channel, San Diego ranked No. 1 among 25 of the country’s most popular summer destinations. More than 500,000 people responded.

Among the many things to do and see in San Diego this summer season are several new exhibits and attractions offered by major theme parks.

SeaWorld San Diego’s new 22-minute, 4-D movie “R.L. Stine’s Haunted Lighthouse” about two kids who meet a sailor and hear about a haunted lighthouse, promises to be chilling.

The San Diego Zoo has opened a new exhibit , “Absolutely Apes” , where arboreal orangutans and siamangs can climb and swing through trees as they would in the wild.

New this year at Legoland California is the Bionicle Blaster, a spinning ride where guests determine how fast to turn by cranking the vehicle’s wheel.

Also new at Legoland is a 16,000-square-foot Lego Sports Center, featuring the newest Lego Sports Build & Play toys with National Basketball Association and National Hockey League themes.

The area’s oldest annual event and the seventh largest fair in the nation, the San Diego County Fair, runs from June 13 through July 6. The theme for the 2003 fair is “Commotion By the Ocean.”

The racing season for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, best known as “where the turf meets the surf,” runs from July 23 through Sept. 10.
