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!
