Adventure Bites + Brews History + Art

The city of endless summers features nearly pristine weather year-round, making it ideal for outdoor excursions. Boasting 70 miles of coastline, PGA Golf Courses, a growing wine country, and iconic “only-in-San Diego” spots, there is something to do for everyone!

Being located in the border state of California, the food of San Diego is heavily influenced by burgeoning American and Mexican fusion cuisines. San Diego is also the most important craft beer city in the U.S. With nearly 200 breweries, local beer in San Diego County generates over 1 Billion dollars a year, and our annual awards total surpasses most states. The San Diego style of big bold beers defined the second generation of the American Craft Beer movement.

With a mural on every corner, San Diego has various types of art medias to experience. Visit our 17 museums devoted to anthropology, art, aviation, natural science and technology that are spread throughout the pristine gardens and historic Spanish Colonial architecture in Balboa Park.

Vista Food + Walking Tour San Diego Zoo Tour Explore the USS Midway Adventure Rib Rides

This local tour combines food and history into an authentic, unforgettable experience. Travel back in time with us as we explore the county's second largest city and the events and people who have transformed Chula Vista into the cultural destination it is today.

The Zoo has been an icon in San Diego for over 100 years and is an urban paradise for all ages. Spend the day in a tropical oasis as you visit amazing habitats for animals such as gorillas, tigers, polar bears, leopards and more. Discover the wonders of wildlife with animal encounters, interactive experiences and keeper presentations.

The USS Midway Museum is America’s mostvisited floating ship museum. But we’ve made special arrangements that will appeal to everyone, from spouses to history buffs! You can enjoy a unique, personalized tour of a ship that, believe it or not, is three football fields long, has 2,000 rooms, and once was the largest ship in the world for a decade!​

Give your guests the chance to explore San Diego like never before, aboard the Authentic Navy S.E.A.L rigid inflatable boat (R.I.B.) that can come incredibly close to all the major landmarks that San Diego is known for including the training of dolphins for sea rescue and mine missions, the U.S. submarine fleet, and the landmark Navy SEAL training base.

Support Our Troops

The Tour and Catered Event (TCE) Program at MCAS Miramar is a program within the Marine Corp Community Service (MCCS) Department. MCCS is a not-for-profit organization within the United States Marine Corps. MCCS supports the “quality of life” programs onboard the base. These programs are many and diverse. The following is a partial list of the programs and facilities supported by MCCS: Athletics Facilities, Clubs, Golf Course, Theater, Stables, Library, Career Resource Center, Counseling Center, Education Center, Teen Center, Youth Center, Family Counseling, Health Promotion, Key Volunteer Program, New Parent Support Group, Personal Finance Management, and Single Marine Program.

All TCE revenue, over and above operating costs, goes back to MCCS to support those quality-of-life programs not funded by tax dollars. Groups that choose to host an event at MCAS Miramar, directly benefit the Marines onboard the base.
