Worth a day or more | Museums along the El Prado |
Unless you're just spending a few days in the San Diego area, Balboa Park is easily worth a day's visit - in addition to the famous San Diego Zoo.
This 150 year old park includes 15 museums, several theatres, numerous gardens, restaurants, snack bars, playgrounds and green areas in which to just relax and hang out. And - it's centrally located a few minutes from downtown San Diego. |
|  | Zoro Garden This beautiful little sunken garden features butterfly attracting flower species. |
Spreckels Pavilion Home to the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world. | | |
| | Alcazar Gardens Inspired by and patterned after the gardens of the Alcazar in Sevilla, Spain. Colorful and beautifully maintained. |
El Prado No, it's not Madrid's famous art museum, but another of Balboa's examples of Spanish Colonial style architecture. | | |
| | Cactus Garden Develop a new appreciation for the varieties of beauties of succulents of the desert. |
Prickly Pear in bloom Prickly Pear in bloom. Found in the Cactus Garden. | | |
| | Colorful dragon This colorful creature graces the entrance to museum of hispanic art and culture. |

I have only spent one day in San Diego and found it to be a lovely city. If I visit again I would really like to visit the zoo. | RedEaredPanda Wed Feb 8, 2006 08:04 UTC

Very interesting tips. Karen an I plan to be in San Diego the last week in March for our 3rd anniversary. We can't afford to stay at the Hotel del Coronado, but we'll have lunch there and enjoy the ambience. | Jim_Eliason Sat Jul 24, 2004 12:03 UTC
