    Balboa Park

    by iam1wthee Written Jan 16, 2004 679 reviews

    It is a beautiful park with an IMAX theatre and many museums. Spanish style architecture used on most building. Best NOT to go on a Monday because several buildings will not be open.

    Public Balboa Park Map

    Look at your Balboa Park map or many maps throughout Balboa Park to find them or just go to any restaurants in the area and just go straight to a restroom :-)).

    EL PRADO 1656

    Walk along El Prado and admire beautiful (old and new) buildings on both sides of the street.

    This bustling walking area on the east side of Balboa Park is home to many museums.
