Palm Canyon
A tropical oasis containing more than 450 palms, including 58 species.
A proper hidden spot in Balboa Park, where winding paths take visitors into a shady, lush canyon. The original group of Mexican fan palms – so prominent in the canyon – date back to 1912. The garden also features a picturesque wooden footbridge leading from the Alcazar Gardens parking lot to across the street from the Spreckels Organ Pavilion.
Events
There's always something new to experience at the Park! Check out the festivals, tours, concerts, and events scheduled all year long.
