Air and water set the stage for the action of the San Diego Bayfair that features hydroplane races on Mission Bay that attract over 150,000 fans every year.

The Museum of Us makes it completely clear that their entire focus is "all about people." From prehistoric relics through man's development into the complex creature into which he has evolved, the museum does a dramatic and highly visual journey to illustrate the many faces of the species..

A hidden treasure in itself, Balboa Park is San Diego's ever-changing, always amazing 1,200-acre backyard and is worthy of a visit as much as an attraction. Start exploring arts & culture, must-see landmarks, engage in guided tours, shop for unexpected treasures, or simply eat your way through the Park. Walk, run, or relax among lush landscapes, sweeping architecture and natural wonders. The park is expansive, with its lush grass and scenery perfect for laying out on a blanket or just sitting on a bench and people watching as the afternoon unfolds. If you need to take a breather, there's no better place than Balboa Park!
