Botanical Building
One of the most photographed scenes in Balboa Park and a “must-see” destination in San Diego.
The Botanical Building presents some of the Park’s vibrant seasonal flower displays. Built for the 1915-16 Exposition, along with the adjacent Lily Pond and Lagoon, 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 is currently closed for an 18-24 month renovation. Learn more about the renovation here: https://balboaparkbotanical.org/
