What is The Best Time to Visit San Diego?

San Diego Zoo is a major family attraction, so stay clear of the city during the summer and holiday season. The crowds subside from March to May and September through November. The limited tourist during this time will guarantee low prices on accommodation. You won’t even need to do advanced bookings. December to February is the rainiest period during the whole year. It may bring the carpet of lush greenery all around that is truly lovely to admire, but if you were planning on enjoying a beach, your plans may be dampened or drenched.
