End of Summer Dad Travel

There is still plenty of time to enjoy Summer family activities and travel to San Diego. SingleDad is going to show you our Top 4 Summer Activities that every Dad wants to do before the end of summer…

Manta: Ride the Ray, Feel the Rush!

Sea World is not just about Shamu and Dolphin shows anymore; it’s has accumulated a pretty good line up of thrill rides and activities that Dad ‘s and tweens can enjoy.

The latest attraction is called, Manta. Manta is part rollercoaster and Sea Life exhibit, where kids and parents can touch a variety of rays in an open shallow tank. The ride has plenty of fast action for the Dad who wants adventure. The bonus factor is the petting area after the ride is over. What better way to cool off the adrenaline than to watch these bat rays swim up to feed right out of your hand.

As a Dad, this exhibit had both the thrill-adventure and cool animal-factor and was a great combination that my family enjoyed. There is a height restriction on the Manta Ride, (48-inches) so make sure check with the Park attendant.

Miramar Speed Circuit

Every Dad has the need for speed, and instead of risking a speeding ticket, there is the thrill of riding a high-speed go kart at Miramar Speed Circuit. Miramar is the perfect place to take Dad and family out for a day of racing.

These gas powered Go-Karts go plenty fast around a closed course and offer a variety of thrills for everyone to enjoy. Miramar Speed Circuit is open 7 days a week and has a variety of weekday and weekend racing specials. They also offer driving lessons, private parties and special go-karts for the younger riders.
