Balboa Park
One of San Diego’s most visited attractions, the Park covers 1,200 beautifully-manicured acres and is minutes from downtown San Diego. Over 85 cultural and recreational organizations reside here including 15 museums and various performing arts groups like the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theatre and the world-famous Old Globe Theatre which presents at least 14 productions and 550 performances a year.

A true San Diego landmark, the Park is also home to the world-famous 100-acre San Diego Zoo where thousands of visitors and locals stroll year-round, discovering the endless array of colorful and exotic animals displayed in spacious natural habitats.
