Balboa Park is such a great place to visit that it is hard to decide what to see on a day trip. The park started in 1868 on 1400 acres and was originally called City Park. There are currently 1200 acres in Balboa Park that house the zoo, museums, golf course, gardens and much more. This wonderful urban park was the site of the 1915 Panama Exposition and is named in honor of Vasco Nunez de Balboa the first European to cross the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean in 1513. When you visit Balboa Park try not to be overwhelmed by the large number of attractions. Just pick a few for the day and plan to come back for more later. You can almost always expect something special to be happening here. When you are in the area, take advantage of this gem. Enjoy!
