A 1,200-acre cultural park built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, packed with Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, museums, and the San Diego Zoo.

Know before you go

  • El Prado, the main promenade, is where most of the museums and the ornate California Tower cluster: start there.
  • Many museums are free on the first Tuesday of the month, rotating through different institutions.
  • The Spreckels Organ Pavilion hosts free outdoor concerts on Sunday afternoons, open to everyone.
  • It's genuinely walkable: budget half a day if you want to see more than a couple of museums plus the gardens.
