Unique tours of the best and worst of Balboa Park

Lead by Balboa Park Heritage Association co-founder David Lundin with great assistance from Brandon Carpenter and Randy Welts.  Explore the beauty, history, deplorable current state of major elements of the Park and possible alternative futures for the Park.

Tours will focus on the history of the Park, from its founding in 1868 as "City Park", the major additions resulting from the 1915 Panama-California and the 1916 Panama-California-International Expositions, the 1935 Fair and more recent trials, tribulations, failures and successes. Each tour will have a different primary focus. Some Park Trivia questions, fun prizes, and some random Park SWAG as well. Guests of all ages are welcome and encouraged. NO charge for those under 10.

These are walking tours, so wear comfortable shoes, hats, sunscreen and bring drinking water. The Park will thrive only via healthy dialogue, so questions will be encouraged . The fee is a contribution to the works of Balboa Park Heritage Association and will assist in funding the November program, "Balboa Park, the Next 100 Years" as well as ongoing advocacy for the Park's many needs.

The Tours are:

Saturdays-- on Posted dates 9:30 AM -12:00 AM [Followed by an optional no-host lunch or refreshment at Panama 66];

Sundays--  on Posted dates 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM [followed by the optional and free 2 PM concert in the Spreckeles Organ Pavilion].

PLEASE JOIN US. Each tour will be different, so if you are are a glutton for punishment, think of taking two different tours. Create groups of friends and associates. Make them fun & informative days in the Park !
