Great welcome from the visitors center staff! We were given a free map and plenty of advices to discover Balboa Park. Thanks so much!
Beautiful architecture, beautiful purchasable items. There's not much to say other than "Yep, it's a gift shop" and a gift shop with good service. You can buy Balboa Park passes at the shop, which I highly recommend to those who live two hours away. A great start to entering one of California's most beautiful city parks!
Balboa park is pretty big, so it's ideal to stop by here to start your exploration.
Best place to visit at night. They have heaters in the sitting area so you can get comfortable. Less crowded on weekends.
Fantastic customer service! We were lost trying to find the hidden golden treasure Railroad museum. Thank you for helping us with directions and providing us with a Balboa Park map 🍀☘️
Der Park an sich ist sehr schön gestaltet worden. Die Architektur gefällt mir sehr gut aber leider wirkt alles ein wenig zu sehr gekünstelt. Als Erholungsort in der Stadt sicherlich sehr zu empfehlen. Das Gelände ist riesig!
The staff is really nice here. They give you map and introduce details for you. We learned from them that there are many free Garden also know there is a free museum. They also suggest us to go to the international house. They suggest desert and rose garden to us. And indeed they are all really nice. Thanks for the tour they provide
Make the Visitors Center your first stop when visiting the multiple museums, walks, gardens, art galleries, and events in Balboa Park. Their free park map is quite helpful. In addition to a manned by volunteer info. desk, you can buy some small gifts and cards in their gift shop.
