Lots of fun. Easy walking & access to get anywhere. The animals seem to come out to see you as soon as you approach an enclosure. Great photo opportunities

About: Balboa Park

Balboa Park is the greenest spot you'll find in sunny San Diego. This 1,200-acre urban cultural park is a winding labyrinth of open spaces, lawns, natural vegetation beds, flower gardens, and walking paths. It's also home to a handful of museums and theaters, and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. This is arguably the spot to stay classy in San Diego.
