Balboa Park: Ever changing. Always amazing.  Where culture, science, and nature collide, Balboa Park is home to more than 17 museums, multiple performing arts venues, lovely gardens, trails, and many other creative and recreational attractions, including the San Diego Zoo. With a variety of cultural institutions among its 1,200 beautiful and lushly planted acres, there is something for everyone. (description taken from: https://www.balboapark.org/)

Personal Experience: As a So Cal resident, I visit balboa park quite a few times a year. This place is a popular tourist spot inhabited by many museums and local talents. The famous pond and Botanical Building would have to be the main attraction and perfect picture spot. If you are visiting the area, this place is a must see. One of our favorite museums is one that features the attraction "Climb the Tower" where you get a 360 view of Down Town San Diego!
