7 San Diego Things to Do Inside 

On average, San Diego has around 60 days of rain a year. While this means you’re more likely to have a sunny day than a gloomy one, it’s still a good idea to have a backup plan ready.

• Catch a show at a local performance space. The Spreckles Theatre has a calendar filled with everything from ballet to comedians. If you’re visiting with younger children, the  Center Stage Children’s Theatre is an excellent option.
• See if you can reach the top at one of the indoor rock climbing gyms. Vertical Hold San Diego and Mesa Rim Climbing Center have walls that cater to all skill levels.
• Check out some of the fascinating museums found throughout San Diego. Visit the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park to view incredible works of art, or explore the exhibits inside the USS Midway Museum.
• Make the short drive to La Jolla to visit the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Say hi to all kinds of aquatic life, like sharks and sea turtles.
• See what you can find at the Liberty Station Public Market. Open seven days a week, the market is filled with countless vendors selling everything from pastries to specialty cocktails.
• If the rain is more of a sprinkle, throw on your raincoat and wander the San Diego Zoo. You might be able to explore the exhibits without the busy crowds.
• Enjoy a bit of friendly competition by going axe-throwing. Places like Throw It and AxeVEntures’ San Diego are great spots for trying out this latest craze.
