lake compounce: Can anyone tell me what is the right time to visit Balboa Park and all related informations?|||each museum in Balboa is open free on Tuesday's, but not every museum is free every Tuesday. It rotates, but you can call or go to their website to find out what museums are free each Tuesday.|||You can visit the breathtaking museums in Balboa Park without entry fee on rotating Tuesdays. Each museum is open to public on one Tuesday of the month. Botanical Building, Timken Museum of Art and Lily Pond are always free. So you can check them out anytime. If you are in San Diego during the first Tuesday of the month, then you can see the Model Railroad Museum Natural History Museum and Reuben H. Fleet Science Center for free. On second Tuesday of the month, you can visit Hall of Champions Sports Museum, Historical Society Museum and Museum of Photographic Arts. On third Tuesday you can walk into the Japanese Friendship Garden and the Mingei International Museum without entry fee. If you are visiting Balboa Park on the fourth Tuesday, you can check out the Aerospace Museum and the Automotive Museum.|||See this link for which museums have free days when: http://www.balboapark.org/calendar/detai鈥?/a> Right time to visit Balboa Park is around 10 am on a Monday...most are quiet except for school groups, which can be noisy. Best time of year to go is in January...you'll have the place all to yourself. I do not recommend going to the zoo on Founders Day, the day in Oct which is the one free day at the zoo. It is PACKED and very unfun because of the crazy crowds. The free museum days though aren't quite so bad.|||Every Tuesday, some of Balboa Park's museums are open for free (the special exhibits still cost money). It depends on what Tuesday it is, though (i.e. 1st Tuesday, 2nd Tuesday, etc). Google Balboa Park for more info. The Timken Art Museum, which is located next to the San Diego Museum of Art, is always free but accepts donations.
