Balboa Park

On our recent excursion down to San Diego, we had the opportunity to explore Balboa Park. The park is well known for being the home to the San Diego Zoo but did you know that it is home to 15 museums and gardens? It is an absolutely stunning place! Our family had an amazing time exploring the different gardens and strolling through the impressive grounds.
You can make a daytrip out of your visit or better yet you can actually make a weekend out of your visit. You need really more than a day to explore this amazing park. We have had the opportunity to check out the San Diego Natural History Museum , and The Fleet Science center and the kiddos had a blast! I really want to head back this weekend and purchase the stay for the day pass, which allows you to visit 4 of the museums for one price.
I also want to head back to enjoy one of the free concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. We missed the concert by minutes on our last visit. They are held every Sunday afternoon from 2-3pm during the summer.
We had a great time exploring the beautiful park and I can't wait to head back down and tell you all about it. Once you cross that beautiful bridge that connects most of the park- it's as if you were in another world. If you had not had the opportunity to visit the park, now is the perfect time to head down. Your family will love it! If you have had the opportunity to visit head down back for more. The cool breezes from down south are beckoning for a visit!
