Tips from locals
Just about a half mile from the San Diego Wild Animal Park and a million miles away in focus is the San Pasqual Battlefield. It’s a historic park honoring those who participated in the 1846 San Pasqual Battle, called the bloodiest battle of the Mexican-American War. There’s a visitor center, a hiking trail, and the requisite stone marker that describes the historical significance of the area. At the center you’ll find an exhibit and videos. Visit between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. the first Sunday of the month from October through June for Living History Day reenactments, or in December each year for a reenactment of the battle itself. The center is open weekends only, 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.

Museum dedicated San Pasqual Valley's history- very interesting. About 10 minute drive.
This is a great stop for the history buff in your midst! Located near the Safari Park (but only open on the weekends), it is worth a stop to learn about this important battle during the Mexican-American War.
