Those wanting to catch some waves can head to Baja Peninsula. The abundance of points, coves, beaches and river mouths there guarantee surfers of all abilities a wild time. Balboa Park is a must see for people visiting the area. It is lined with mature and sometimes rare groves of trees and divided into several beautiful gardens. Scattered throughout Balboa Park are museums, cultural attractions, as well as theatrical and musical venues. Within the Park's limits, but not maintained by it, is the world-famous San Diego Zoo. The Zoo is home to more than 4,000 animals and is one of the only zoos in the world to house a giant panda. It can be enjoyed on foot, by guided tour bus, or by the Skyfari, an overhead gondola lift. For more animal action, vacationers can visit Sea World San Diego and interact with orcas, Pacific walruses, Emperor penguins, whales, and polar bears.
