15 Best Things To Do in Escondido, California

Escondido is not only blessed with the Californian weather but also has some of the most beautiful natural and scenic views in the whole of the US. Besides a large number of breweries downtown, Escondido is also home to the California Center for the Arts, where you can enjoy hundreds of artworks.

However, the main attraction of Escondido lies in the scenic views, such as that on the side of Dixon Lake, where you can fish for trout or go camping. Meanwhile, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is home to over 650 species and 3,500 animals, some of whom are endangered.

If you want to enjoy the view from atop, the San Pasqual Valley, where the zoo is located, also has zip lines.
