Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre urban cultural park in San
Diego, California. In addition to open space areas, natural vegetation green
belts, gardens and walking paths, it contains museums, several theaters, and
the world-famous San Diego Zoo. When we can't get out of the city, this is one of our favorite urban areas to visit. Admission is free on a rotating basis for the various museums on the first four Tuesdays of the month to San Diego City and County residents.

We let the little one play in Kid City, a colorful, interactive space where small
children (infants through age five) can play and learn in the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.

Now it was onto my favorite museum, the San Diego Natural History Museum. It features fascinating exhibitions and a new giant-screen
Dolby digital 3D theater showing films with a focus on the natural world. The
museum’s award-winning exhibit design team creates exhibitions on the unique
and bio-diverse southern California region. In addition, the museum hosts
several traveling exhibitions each year which teach visitors about our natural
world as it is today and as it was in the past.
