Balboa Park

Set amid 1,200 acres of lush tropical landscaping, Balboa Park and its neighbor, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, offer an in-the-city oasis of culture, entertainment and sightseeing. In this playground paradise, the options seem endless: You can explore more than a dozen museums showcasing art, history, photography, sports, aviation and space; see a play at the famous Old Globe Theatre; catch a free outdoor concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion; tour the newly refurbished arboretum; or just sit on the grass and watch the local parade of jugglers, fortunetellers and performance artists.
