Updated 7/1/19

Are you traveling to San Diego and you’ll be at or near the San Diego Convention Center with your family?

Whether you’re headed to Comic-Con International (like we are!), or maybe you’re going for business or taking in a baseball game at Petco Park, there is TONS of restaurant options near the San Diego Convention Center.

You’ll find everything from fast food restaurants to the fine dining, all within close proximity. You’ll also find a large range of prices and sometimes feeding your family can be one of the biggest expenses. But if you’re a traveler on a budget, there is a way to save on dining  if you have young kids. However, within 10 miles of the San Diego Convention Center, you can find a great deal on dining: several kids eat free restaurants!

If you are looking for a place for lunch or dinner and have kids under 12 years old, you’ll have some great choices of restaurants where they offer free kids meals. We’ve done our research and pulled together a list of over 15 kids eat free restaurants within 10 miles of the San Diego Convention Center.

Important notes about kids eat free promotions:

  • Kids eat free promotions may change or end at any time, so we recommend calling first to see if the promotion is still valid.
  • While these restaurants are still likely to offer these promotions during very busy times, like in July during Comic-Con, some restaurants might change their promotion.
  • Many of these restaurants have promotional rules such as limits on ages or the offer is only valid during certain days and/or times. We’ve listed the basic, but important, details.
  • Most of these promotions, unless other wise noted, are for a “kid meal” or  “kids menu” entree.
