Catch an Outdoor Flick
There are so many fun outdoor movie options around town! The South Bay and Santee Drive-In theaters are a thrill for kids and a nostalgic trip down memory lane for parents. Rooftop Cinema Club (pictured) offers comfortable seating and incredible views from the roof of the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown. And of course, free Summer Movies in the Park (through the end of October) are offered weekly around the county. See the schedule at www.summermoviesinthepark.com.
Get Wet
Slater's 50/50
Indulge in Frozen Treats
“Research” may not be a word that kids on summer break like to hear, but if the assignment is to find the best spots around the county for ice cream, shaved snow and other frozen treats, it has a better ring to it, don’t you think? Some of our favorite go-to spots include Handel’s, Holy Paleta and Bobboi, but don’t take our word for it—have some fun doing research and drawing your own conclusions. Access our whole list of Frozen Treats to Beat the Heat at www.sandiegofamily.com/ things-to-do/out-about/ice-cream-shops.

Embrace the Spirit of Aloha
Sunset Luaus on the Bay at the Catamaran Resort are back! After a two-year hiatus, visitors and locals are once again able to indulge in an evening of Polynesian delights—an all-you-caneat buffet, music and authentic dance performances right on Mission Bay. Tuesdays and Fridays through Sept. 2. www.catamaranresort.com/sunset-luaus
San Diego beaches are the most popular spot to get wet, but don’t forget about all our local splash pads and spraygrounds this summer. The yearround splash pad at Santee Lakes (shown here) is a favorite, as it has many fun water features, including a bucket that fills and dumps on the kids’ heads. Plus, Santee Lakes is such an awesome destination! Playgrounds, duck feeding, fishing, pedal boats and 190 acres to explore. Need we say more?
