Escondido - A Vibrant Place to Live
Escondido is a place to get cultured: Cutting-edge museums, local art abound, a wild animal park, wineries and tastings, shopping, restaurants, cruising cars, a historic district, theater, and life-enriching recreation!
Escondido is located just north of the city of San Diego. The name means "hidden" in Spanish, and that is just what it is occupying a shallow valley ringed by rocky hills. Founded in 1888, it is one of the oldest cities in San Diego County. Escondido is often thought of as a great place to raise a family! Its hometown atmosphere, historic resources and its many amenities are found in a much larger city.
Escondido is home to an amazing Art District, and many fascinating museums. You can enjoy the beauty of use of design at the Mingei International Museum and hear performing artists from around the globe in the California Center for the Arts' world-class theaters. Kids and adults alike can touch the hands-on exhibits at the Escondido Children's Museum and discover worlds to explore, while the young at heart can travel back in time at the Escondido History Center. Eclectic showings and educational programs at the California Center for the Arts Museum stimulate one to think. Intimate and live theater performances are a must see at the Patio Playhouse and Theatrx in the heart of Downtown.
Escondido is not only a great destination for shopping, arts and entertainment. It is also home to an enticing array of restaurants and eateries. There is something for the whole family, with delicious entrees from many different cultures: Italian, Mexican, French, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Continental American and Fusion. Enjoy traditional American fare like hamburgers and French fries or something more rare like roasted venison and Muscovy duck legs. Several restaurants are committed to using locally grown, organic vegetables and free-ranch meats. A number of restaurants are family-owned and have been a thriving part of Escondido for many years. For sophisticated palates, unique chef-owned restaurants are located throughout the city, with many in the Downtown area. Favorite national chains can be found in Escondido, too.
Animal encounters abound at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. This 1800 acre preserve allows visitors to view herds of exotic animals as they might be seen in their native lands. Animals from all over the world inhabit the exhibits. From an African safari to the jungles of India to the Amazon rain forest animals thrive under the care of dedicated keepers. There are many different family activities to enjoy with photo caravan tours, sleepovers, Roar & Snore, Cats & Carnivore Tour, and many more. Don’t forget to visit the extraordinary gardens throughout the park.
Cruisin' Grand promotes the "Glory Days of the American Automobile" with an open cruise night every Friday night from April through September for some of the hottest American-made, 1973 and earlier classic cars and trucks in the 120-year-old downtown commercial district of Escondido. Let Cruisin' Grand take you back to a time of bobby socks, date nights, coming-of-age, and black and white TVs. Old friendships are rekindled and favorite tunes fill the air.
Life-enriching recreational programs and activities can be found for people of all ages, from infants to older adults. Classes offered include leisure, computers, music, dance, arts & crafts, swimming, preschool, tennis, and health & fitness. Kit Carson Regional Park, skateboarding facilities, hiking in Daley Ranch, fishing and picnicking at Lake Dixon, and golfing at great public golf courses are some of the outdoor activities to experience in Escondido.
