Built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, a complex of now 32 single-story cottages, known as the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages, occupies an area of under two acres. The variety of cultures represented is matched by an equally diverse floral landscape from around the world. While the charming buildings draw most visitors’ attention, it’s worth taking a closer look at the rich variety of trees and other flora. Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the second 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 1.5 to 2 hours 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.
