Fodor's Expert Review San Diego History Center
Balboa Park, Bankers Hill, and San Diego Zoo
History Museum
The San Diego Historical Society maintains its research library in the basement of the Casa de Balboa and organizes shows on the first floor. Permanent and rotating exhibits, which are often more lively than you might expect, survey local urban history after 1850, when California entered the Union. A 30-minute, Emmy Award-winning film, "Balboa Park - The Jewel of San Diego" plays hourly in the museum's theater. Discover the history of San Diego's craft beer scene with an interactive exhibit and tasting, offered Friday through Sunday for an additional $10.
