We’re Dreamin’ of a Green Christmas…
Take Public Transportation
Balboa Park is accessible from most San Diego neighborhoods—as well as cities in East County, North County, and South Bay— by bus, trolley, or train. By taking the bus or trolley you not only avoid traffic, but you help the environment, and it’s economical.
To create your personal trip plan:
Visit www.sdmts.com or call 511 to speak to one of the Transit Information Operators.
