The House of Pacific Relations International Cottages, originally built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, is a colorful complex of 32 single-story cottages. The varied cultures represented are matched by an equally diverse floral landscape from around the world. Discover the rich variety of trees and plants that most visitors miss while enjoying the charming cottages and their host cultures.
Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the first Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10 a.m. unless otherwise indicated.
Walks last 90 minutes and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
