Don't tell anyone but Balboa Park is my favorite place in San Diego! I really think that you would have to be crazy not to stop at Balboa Park if you are visiting San Diego. Balboa Park combines the best elements in life: Art, Culture, Theatre, Music, Architecture, Nature, and Knowledge!
Balboa Park is home to San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego Museum of Art, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, The Old Globe Theatre, The Starlight Musical Theatre, The Japanese Friendship Garden, and The Mingei International Museum, just to name a few!
Balboa Park features a tram that will take you all around the Park. Plus there are hiking trails, audio guided walking tours, and of course the World Famous San Diego Zoo. Do not miss the historical Carousel and Train for kids of all ages. Check out the map with everything that is located in Balboa Park!

Balboa Park was established as a park even before the land belonged to America. The Panama-California Exposition designed and built the Spanish style buildings and with the help of local hero Kate Sessions the park was covered in rare and exotic plant life. Balboa Park is home to dozens of museums, theatres, gardens, concert spaces, outdoor recreation centers, restaurants, and of course The World Famous San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park is a favorite place of locals and visitors alike!
My favorite things to do at Balboa Park is to an ice cream and walk around the Spanish Village Art Center.
