Balboa Park
1549 El Prado, San Diego, CATel: (619) 239-0512
The world-renowned San Diego Zoo is only one part of this magnificent 1,200-acre city park that was built for the 1915-1916 Panama-California Expo. California's Hispanic roots were celebrated as the city erected breathtakingly ornate Spanish-style buildings. The California Building was modeled after a Spanish colonial church and is topped off with a polychrome tile dome. The park is home to the zoo, 14 museums, a pipe organ pavilion, botanical gardens, a Tony award winning theater, an antique carousel and a miniature-scale train. Of particular interest is Balboa Park's Christmas on the Prado that is held the first weekend of December each year. It is a popular event the first Friday and Saturday evenings of December and it is an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy pageants, plays, food and music all in the tradition of the Christmas holidays.
