Om
Hurtige fakta: Spredt over 485 hektar rummer denne bypark 17 museer, flere haver og den verdensberømte San Diego Zoo. Dens arkitektur i spansk kolonial revival-stil blev for det meste bygget til Panama-California-udstillingen i 1915-16, hvilket gør mange af de overdådige bygninger over et århundrede gamle.
Højdepunkter: Enhver søndag afholder Organ Pavilion fra 1915 en gratis koncert på et af verdens største udendørs pibeorgler med 5.000 piber gemt bag den buede facade. Bag den botaniske bygning ligger et 60 meter langt lysthus beklædt med bougainvillea og bregner, en drømmeagtig grøn tunnel som de fleste besøgende skynder sig forbi.
Insidertips
- Buy a single-day pass if you plan to visit 3+ museums, otherwise pick 1-2 and enjoy the free attractions.
- The walk from the parking lots on the south side is short, but the west side (by the Natural History Museum) often has spots open after 9am.
- Skip the carousel line on weekends; the miniature railroad nearby is often less crowded and more fun for kids.
- Bring a picnic blanket and grab lunch at the Prado restaurant's takeout window for al fresco dining on the grass.
