I would consider going to Balboa Park. As PP mentioned, there are museums to visit, places to walk, and just simple playgrounds to play on.

Totally agree with all this! Zoo/Legoland/Seaworld really are full day destinations. Balboa park is gorgeous!! So much fun stuff there, even without the zoo.
Scripps Aquarium is always on our to-do list, and somehow we have never made it there!
