DESERT PARADISE RESORT | kids travel, kids activities
DESERT PARADISE RESORT
5165 S Decatur Blvd,
Las Vegas, Nevada
"Great Place to stay off the strip"
This was a great place for our Family to stay while we are in Vegas (My in Laws live here) visiting. The rooms are spacious and very nicely furnished. The beds are not your typical Hotel bed but an overwhelmingly comfortable inviting bed!!! We stayed in a 2 bdroom condo.....2 nice rooms with walk in closets individual baths full kitchen and laundry room and nice living room with a sofa bed. All rooms came with flat screen HD tv's, fully furnished kitchen with dishes and full dining area. I appreciated the kitchen as we went grocery shopping and felt right at home eating on the patio, dining area and living room!!
I heard not a peep from anyone next door or above us the entire time we were there, that was fantastic as I wasnt woken up by someone flushing the toilet in the middle of the night or coming home late and raising a ruckus like in the pricey Hotels on the strip!!!
I will be back to this place every time we come back to Vegas.
It is not a Large resort but more like a Luxury Apartment complex, it is gated and has ample security and parking. Very clean and well maintained property.
Then internet price we paid was $80 per night and well worth it for a 1250+sq ft condo which roomed all six of us compfortably!!

"Great hotel"
This is the best Comfort inn on Hotel circle, I've stayed at all 3 and the kids suites here are the largest and the pool is great!! The rooms here are clean and I did not experiance any noise or problems. The front desk staff are very nice and accomodating. We have stayed here twice and the other 2 comfort inns on hotel circle just once but I am very saticfied with the chain and will stay here again.

Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel Circle SeaWorld Area
2201 Hotel Circle S,
San Diego, California
"Clean and very accomodating"
stayed here last visit as my husband booked our hotel and I had to move us here. I like this hotel, very clean and staff are very warm and inviting. We had a kid suite and it was a little cramped, the Comfort in just south and east have larger kid suites with a seperate room altogether for them. All in all I find these hotels great and reasonable for a stay, never a problem and we have stayed at all the comfort inns on hotel circle and they are all winners.

Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography | kids travel, kids activities
Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
2300 Expedition Way,
La Jolla,
California 92093
"Kids really enjoyed the Aquarium"
A nice Small aquarium, we coverred it in 2 hours. Quite alot here at Birch, Lovely fish and alot of educational info for the kids to engage with. I loved all the touch screens and displays regarding Global warming and how we can help the environment, the kids really were concerned and really payed attention to the message and I like that. Beautiful sea life displayed in a great format, 5 of us went for roughly 30 bucks, I I think the price is a little high for such a small Aquarium but it was a nice 2 hours full of information and enjoyment.

Torrey Pines State Beach and Reserve
12500 North Torrey Pines Road,
San Diego,
California 92037
"Great Beach"
Oh this beach was fantastic for the family!!! The kids all body surfed with mom and dad, played in the sand and searched for sea glass and pretty rocks. The waves were perfect as you could wade waist deep out in the water for a good 20 feet or more before the boogie boarders took their place out in the beach which was not a hinderance at all. Everyone was having a great time!! The water temp was perfect and very clean although there is alot of seaweed at this beach, alot but if that is no concern then you will LOVE this beach!! It stretched between LaJolla and Del Mar, you can park for free on the road and walk down or park in the parking area for $8 (worth it to be close) we chose to pay as we have 4 small kids and it made it easier for us. My husband and are are coming back with no kids in 2 weeks for a wedding and plan to do some boogie boarding here as this is the perfect beach!! It was a little more crowded than LaJolla Cove but really a fun beach!!
