Top Parks in San Diego

Don't miss the Botanical Building, it's beautiful and totally free! Perfect for some great pics and a little peaceful escape from the busyness

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The crowds are way smaller, and you can actually enjoy the shops and restaurants without feeling rushed.

Get there by 8 AM to snag a good parking spot; it fills up fast! I struggled with the parking situation and drove around forever.

Get there around 10 AM to avoid the crowds and the heat. The murals look stunning in the morning light, and it’s a bit easier to take photos without too many people in the way.

If you’re into photography bring a good camera and some extra batteries! The vibrant colors of the murals really pop and you’ll want to capture it all without worrying about battery life.
