Balboa Park Sep 03, 2008

Balboa Park is the nations largest urban cultural park and includes fifteen museums, the SD Zoo, gardens, and much much more. Going here is an all day event, depending on what you want to see. The fifteen major museums cost money but there are weekly and monthly free days - they are also easy to sneak into because many of the workers just don't pay much attention, especially if you go when its not busy. Also, depending on what you do it can be cheap or very expensive, especially if you go to the zoo and multiple museums - although the zoo alone can take all day long.

Very beautiful and worth a visit.
