I would say "It's a really good place to visit and go on/for a one-day trip. Other variations will work. While "pay a visit" can be used for visiting a place, I mostly use that phrase for visiting a person or a home.

Does 'go on' in the given sentence mean operate? I have checked the dictionary and found it could also mean operate. I used to think it means continue, but now I learned another synonym for that word. Thanks.

No, it doesn't mean "operate". It is more in the realm of "travel".

I think I'll go on a trip next week.
I recommend Brighton as somewhere to go on a day trip from London.
Are you going on a shopping spree on Saturday?
