Balboa Park is a special place for many reasons. Located in San Diego, California, it is one of the largest urban parks in the United States and is recognized by its stunning architecture, colorful and bright gardens, and historical museums. The most iconic attractions and some of my personal favorite things to experience include visiting the world famous San Diego Zoo, touring the diverse collection of museums, visiting the Rose Gardens in the Spring months (April-June), and walking the meandering pathways and finding total calm at the Japanese Friendship Gardens
