This summer introduces some new sights to San Diego. Look for these stunning new spots around town for shopping, dining, recreation, and more.
Africa Rocks @The San Diego Zoo
The largest expansion in the San Diego Zoo’s 100-year history opens this summer: the eight-acre, $68 million Africa Rocks. Featured are six new habitats that showcase the incredible bio diversity of various African locations including the Ethiopian Highlands, Madagascar Forest, Acacia Woodlands and more. Expect to see African Penguins shuffling along giant granite boulders in Cape Fynbos, meerkats burrowing in the Kopje Woodland and several other lesser-known native species that call these regions home. The habitat for the endangered penguins opens July 1st, while the rest of the habitats for meerkats, klipspringer and crocodiles will open in stages throughout the summer. The exhibits will also highlight the native flora of the areas.
Doughballs at Liberty Public Market
Doughballs @ Liberty Public Market
Wood-fired pizza comes to Liberty Public Market, and it promises to be "stupid fast." Doughballs will open a second location at Liberty Station in late July, following the June opening of its Pacific Beach drive-thru spot. The pizza joint will serve up ten styles (plus an option to create your own) on a specially-crafted dough that cooks in just 90 seconds.
J McLaughlin Boutique
J. McLaughlin Boutique
The classic American styles from J. McLaughlin are now available at the brand’s newest shop in downtown La Jolla. It’s the seventh California location, but the first and only in the San Diego area. Look for sporty and stylish collections, like the all-new Acadia collection, exclusive to the La Jolla shop. They’ve got new styles for summer, including bright and cheery palettes to don in the coastal sunshine.
San Diego County Courthous
San Diego County Courthouse
Downtown has an elegant courthouse, thanks to $555 million earmarked to replace the current courthouse,
which was built in 1961 over a fault line. Opening to the public July 17th, the new building features 71 courtrooms and 22 floors in a sleek and modern environment. The building is projected to accommodate more than a million people each year. With high-tech features and a skybridge attaching across C Street to the Hall of Justice, it’s an urban development worth seeing.
