What to do when you’re not conferencing

GaslampQuarterPhoto.pngCheck out the Gaslamp Quarter - Just a few minutes walk away from San Diego Marriott, the Gaslamp Quarter is one of San Diego’s liveliest neighborhoods. It’s dozens of restaurants and bars offer great opportunities to experience the San Diego nightlife and food scene.

Catch a San Diego Padres Game - In case you missed it, baseball is back and the San Diego Padres will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks during ERE. With games Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night, you can walk to Petco Park and enjoy America’s pastime over a taco and one of San Diego’s famous craft beers. Tickets start at 15 bucks.

ZooCropped.png

Explore the San Diego Zoo - One the best zoos in the world, bar none. With more than 3,700 animals spanning 650 species or subspecies, it has an absolutely wild variety of animals from around the world. It’s also just a short drive from the San Diego Marriott nestled in Balboa Park, one of the best urban parks in the country. If you’ve got a few hours to burn, it’s worth it!

BalboaCropped.pngVisit the Balboa Park Museums - With more than 16 museums, Balboa Park is a paradise for history buffs and it’s just a short drive from Downtown San Diego. From the San Diego Natural History Museum to San Diego Air and Space Museum, there is something for anyone and everyone.

Where to eat

San Diego is famous for its unique takes on Mexican favorites. You can’t go wrong there, but that’s not all this world class city has to offer. Here’s a few recommendations for where to dine with style while at ERE. Each is relatively close to the Marriott.

What to wear

San Diego is blessed with practically perfect weather year round, with April temperatures in between the low 70s and high 50s. So expect warm and sunny weather during the day but milder temps at night time that may require a light jacket.
