We have visited the Botanical Building at Balboa Park many, many times, bringing friends and family who are visiting. It's the iconic building in the back of most photos taken at Balboa Park, set back behind the Koi Pond. It's now being renovated, and they tell us it will reopen during the summer of 2023. Why they couldn't have conducted these renovations during the two years of Covid quarantine is beyond me. (eyeroll) Now you will just have to enjoy these gorgeous photos taken inside the arboretum and whet your appetite for its reopening next year.

It's the 3rd time I am here. Due to covid, the building is empty and being repaired. The lily pond is still beautiful.

I felt that it was enchanting. The building itself is amazing. Adding all of the plants was memorizing. I hoped to see more flowers saw one flower. Loved the entry arcs. There was also a man outside playing the guitar very beautiful music which added that obviance. Plus best part is that it was free free and free. If your in the area definite must. Let's you escape just a little.

A very comfortable place even on a nice sunny warm day. A nice breeze flows throughout the airy slatted building with various plants and colorful flowers. Admission is free, and I was able to take a few pictures.
