Small visitor center with a gift shop . You can get a map of the park and the audio guide here. Thumbs up to all the volunteers. *April 2022 - The Saturday tours indicated on the website are not scheduled anymore, double check.

Lady with burgundy hair wearing green work shirt was asking for donation for a map guide. She told me “next time offer donation when someone gives something”. LADY I OFFERED A $20 APPLE PAY DONATION TO A MAN PRIOR TO GOING TO YOU. I just did not have cash on hand at the time. She then ASSUMES that some man who “pretends” to have a child was the one who I gave a donation to.

The staff is really nice here. They give you map and introduce details for you. We learned from them that there are many free Garden also know there is a free museum. They also suggest us to go to the international house. They suggest desert and rose garden to us. And indeed they are all really nice. Thanks for the tour they provide

Make the Visitors Center your first stop when visiting the multiple museums, walks, gardens, art galleries, and events in Balboa Park. Their free park map is quite helpful. In addition to a manned by volunteer info. desk, you can buy some small gifts and cards in their gift shop.

Actually the Man museum has storage lockers. Check the size of your luggage to make sure it fits. It looks like the typ. school lockers type. They need it since no purses are allowed for the tower visit so they provide lockers for visitors.
