We stopped by for a quick look on the way to the Harbor Cruise. A T-shirt sporting a flamingo caught my eye….then I noticed the SD for San Diego…but also for my initials! Reasonable prices. I did not want to purchase the shirt right then as we were headed for the cruise. Alyssa was kind enough to hold it for me until we returned from the cruise. Thank you, so much!

Visited the information centre and have to say Tara was immensely helpful, friendly and welcoming 10/10 !!
Would recommend that anyone visiting San Diego comes by here ...
Merchandise is also reasonable.
Situated on embarcadero near the hornblower and Bayside cruises offices near USS Midway museum.
Go see Tara she is fab, will be the first place we visit when we come back to San Diego !

The Bayfront Visitors Information Center on North Harbour Drive is a warm and welcoming center. The jovial ladies freely imparted sage secrets and tips to how best to play, eat and be merry in San Diego.

If you're staying any amount of time in San Diego you should try and get here to pick up information to help plan your trip. There are lots of brochures and guides available for pick up, plus very pleasant staff members there to help. Located on the embarcadero.

Overwhelmed by all that we could do and the woman in the visitor center was just what we needed. She asked how long we had and told us the best things to see in the time that we had. Very helpful!

Convenient location along the waterfront to get information about the many activities available in the San Diego area. If you are not sure what to do, stop in get some maps and ask.

We are planning on driving to San Diego, spending a couple of days there before getting on a cruise ship. Are there convenient and reasonable places to leave our car near the port?
