So Cal Helicopter Tour
Gillespie Airport
San Diego, CA 92123
(619) 980-1224
map | website | comment

What could be a more exciting way for you and your grandchildren to get a glimpse of San Diego than from the sky? You can do just that on a So Cal Helicopters tour. This fun company offers an array of airborne adventures that vary by flying time (from 16 minutes to an hour). Whether you’d like to soar above the La Jolla coastline, check out San Diego’s inland or do what So Cal Helicopter calls “The Whole Enchilada,” there’s surely a tour just right for you. And if there’s not, you can reserve a “Custom Tour” where you tell them exactly what you want to see. Better still, less expensive tours are offered on Sundays when So Cal Helicopter operates from the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant. This family-friendly spot offers an extensive Sunday brunch buffet and is a lot of fun for kids because there are tables with headphones that allow you to listen in on the FAA control tower at Montgomery Field Airport.

Info: Varies

Hours: By reservation

Age: Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
