• Balboa Park - BALBOA PARK is the cultural heartbeat of our city; you will fall in love with the country’s largest urban cultural park and be dazzled discovering its origins as you take in its incredible vegetation, gorgeous flowers and ornate architecture.

TOUR TIDBITS: One of San Diego’s biggest tourist destinations contains a tranquil garden purposely landscaped to attract countless beautiful butterflies. But this garden was not always so tranquil! Over the years it has served as a dance hall, a mining camp, and stagecoach station. And, at one point, it was surrounded by a big redwood fence with a few strategically placed holes that visitors could peek through to spy on… a nudist colony!

You will also gain insights into its current status as the 8th largest city in the US and what makes it the epitome of Southern California lifestyle. Learn why we are proudly referred to as ‘America’s Finest City’ and be warned… many who come for a visit end up becoming residents!
