Balboa Park is so large, with so many things to do and look at, that it can be hard to decide what to do. The entire San Diego Zoo sits nestled in one little corner of the park ffs. The obvious thing to do in Balboa Park is visit the museums (or the zoo), but there’s more to it. There are lovely green spaces, nature walks, bars and restaurants, a whole golf course (two actually), theaters, events, and so on and so forth in a space covering two square miles.

Below is our list of what to do in Balboa Park, depending on your mood.
