Editorial Review of Balboa Park

Visiting or living in San Diego without checking out Balboa Park is like missing the heart of the city.  With 1,200 acres, Balboa Park is a site where people from all walks of life can gather and enjoy the warm San Diego Sun.  What's wonderful about Balboa park is that its a community all its own, but it embraces cultures from all over the world with its 17 museums including the Centro Cultural de la Raza, the San Diego Museum of Man, the San Diego Natural History Museum and the famous Reuben H Fleet Science Center. Balboa Park is also a wonderful place to catch a performing arts show from the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater, the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet or the San Diego Youth Symphony among many others. Some of the best parks of Balboa Park are the botanical gardens from the Moorish Alcazar Garden to the world famous Rose Garden. Where ever you look in Balboa Park is a sight to behold, don't miss the chance to check it out.
