Botanical Building
The view of the Botanical Building with the Lily Pond in the foreground is one of the most photographed scenes in Balboa Park and a "must-see" destination in San Diego. Built for the 1915-16 Exposition, along with the adjacent Lily Pond, the historic building is one of the largest lath structures in the world. The Botanical Building plantings include more than 2,100 permanent plants, featuring fascinating collections of cycads, ferns, orchids, other tropical plants, and palms. The Botanical Building also presents some of the Park's vibrant seasonal flower displays.
Kids love the Carnivorous Plant Bog, with Pitcher Plants and Venus Fly Traps. The Touch and Smell Garden features aromatic and unusual varieties of foliage including chocolate and lemon mint. More Museums & Attractions for Kids >
