Reviews of Balboa Park Visitors Center (Park)

Chien-Chang Chen

The staff is really nice here. They give you map and introduce details for you. We learned from them that there are many free Garden also know there is a free museum. They also suggest us to go to the international house. They suggest desert and rose garden to us. And indeed they are all really nice. Thanks for the tour they provide

Was somewhat helpful. The Park needs better signage. It took us a long time to figure out where things were at

Muy hermoso maravilloso

One of the most beautiful places in San Diego. The world's greatest Zoo. Lots of museums and things to see and do. Or just a casual hike around the park itself is a great way to spend the morning or afternoon

Alejandro Panetta

Beautiful place with a lot of museum, trails, historic buildings, zoo and groves!! However, the restrooms were dirty!!

Erika B.

They were very friendly and helpful here

We picked up some information, they can help if you are a companion for someone some of the zoo's & museum's alow a free companion. It was actually cheaper with our gopass from costco not to go that route. They were very helpful.

Um imenso parque de quase 500 hectares dentro da cidade de San Diego. Neste imensa área verde podemos encontrar quase todas as grandes atrações turísticas desta cidade. São mais de uma dezena de museus, três teatros, dezenas de jardins, principalmente um maravilhoso jardim botânico com um belo edifício, um grande zoológico, espaço para prática de muitos esportes, trilhas, densas áreas de vegetação, restaurantes, lanchonetes e muito lazer. Maravilhosos prédios com forte traços da arquitetura espanhola tornam o local um ponto turístico de grande beleza, mesmo que seja apenas para um passeio por suas lindas alamedas floridas e a sua praça central cercada de construções históricas e de grande beleza arquitetônica. Um passeio imperdível que irá render fotos maravilhosas. Tem muitos estacionamentos grátis, mas muito concorridos principalmente nos dias de sol.

Sabato Montanino

Make the Visitors Center your first stop when visiting the multiple museums, walks, gardens, art galleries, and events in Balboa Park. Their free park map is quite helpful. In addition to a manned by volunteer info. desk, you can buy some small gifts and cards in their gift shop.

Trent Webby

You can spend the full day with so much to do! The cactus and rose garden are gorgeous and diverse. There are bunch of museums like the Museum of Man, and Natural History which will cost to enter but there is so much more to see for free!

Aew Wade

The whole area is very nice. It has so much stuff to see, some places you will need to pay and others are free. There's also a garden, a few restaurants and restrooms. This is a nice place to take pictures and to go for a walk.

Bardzo ciekawe i różnorodne miejsce. Koniecznie do odwiedzenia jeśli będziecie w San Diego! My byliśmy kilka razy i za każdym razem odwiedzalismy to miejsce z innej strony. Warto wybrać się tutaj z dzieciakami, ale nie tylko...

Jaekwan Lee

넓은 공간에 큰 나무들이 많아 시원하고 여러가지 뮤지엄과 동물원등 볼거리와 산책로.. 그리고 랜트 전기스쿠터등 전부 하기에는 하루가 짧은거 같습니다. 연인이나 가족단위로 아이들과 같이 즐길수 있는 좋은 공간이 마련되어 있습니다. 기회 있으면 느껴 보세요

Jaime Monc

Amazing place, lot to do

T A

Top!

Ken

More of a souvenir shop then a visitor center. They do have a couple of people behind a counter answering questions though. They like to solicit you for contributions for any advice they give you. But it's a little tiring at times.

Doug Randolph

Very good.

Philip Mondy

If you need to know anything about the park, talk to these guys. They are super helpful! You can also buy thier day pass which is a really good deal.

Always busy here you can even rent a wheelchair the prices are a little steep

Eva Trieger

Not only is the Visitors' Center an amazing resource for Park visitors, but they are incredible. Today, I lost my car key and, lo and behold, they had it! I cannot imagine that happening in any other city! The folks who work at the Park are lovely, helpful and kind. I have consulted the Center when I've visited to find out which museums were free or what exhibits were ongoing. I have always gotten great assistance.

friendly, helpful & very well organized

Pranjal Tiwari

Must visit place. No admission fee. It is stuffed with lots of fun such as free tram ride, scooter rides (paid), different religious stalls (you may not find always), magician, fountain, several museums and much more. Also can be considered as nice picnic spot.

Jerry Luna

Un lugar mágico hermoso visita obligada

Kimberly Lindsey

A really peaceful beautiful place

Lisa Lorraine Taylor

Balboa Park...once you've been here, you'll know why we love it so much!

JM Stumpfel

I'm rating this location as a gift shop, though its main reason for being is as a help desk and general guide to the park. If you are looking for San Diego and Balboa Park-themed items, you'll find a treasure trove of options here without having to go into all the museum gift shops. There is a price range to fit most budgets.

Tom Watts

The lady who assisted us was amazing and really helpful. There's plenty of maps and other resources too.

I Pickett

Friendly and informative people got us our passes fast. Quick and concise information.

Imaris Viera

Balboa Park is all about classical music, beautiful gardens and amazing architecture. Very nice vibe to spend a Sunday afternoon. Free outdoor organ concert in Sunday. Didn't want to leave. My favorite place in San Diego.

Badr Alzaidi

مكان جميل وممتع ، يستحق الزيارة . هو مكان يجمع كثير من الحدائق والمباني على الطراز الاندلسي وبرك المياه ، ايضاً المطاعم و محلات القهوة . ويميزة انتشار هواة العرض في الشوارع . يحوي مواقف كبيرة ومجانية.

Buen lugar para pedir información acerca del parque Balboa ya que es muy grande. Te ofrecen combos para los distintos museos aunque si son caros. Tambien se puede comprar souvenirs muy buenos aunque a precios altos.
