rxzhaoThe San Diego Aerospace Museum is not as big as Washington, but it has a very good tour. The museum is divided into two areas, telling the evolution of various aircraft during World War II, and also has a real model of modern aircraft. 👍 is very suitable for taking children to 🤭. There are many interactive links and you can drive the plane yourself.San Diego5.7km from Mid-City

chenweiwenBalboa Park: Balboa Park, covering an area of 4.9 square kilometers, is a famous cultural park in the center of San Diego, USA. It is named after the Spanish explorer Vasco de Balboa. Balboa Park is the former site of the 1915 World's Fair in California. The city of San Diego built many magnificent museum buildings for the World's Fair. The complex castle buildings not only reflect the characteristics of the Spanish colonial Renaissance period that was popular at the time, but also reveal a strong Gothic, Baroque and Rococo style. There are 14 museums, four theaters, a complex sports field, a rose garden and a Japanese garden in the park, adding brilliant colors to the park. The famous San Diego Zoo is also located in the park. Most of the venues in the park have been demolished, leaving only a few to be preserved forever, so that future generations can imagine the grand occasion of the year. In 1977, Balboa Park was rated as a national historic landmark.San Diego4.7km from Mid-CityFree entry

love is blueHad a great time at this museum. I found the staff very helpful. Most of the cars on display were American. This was interesting for tourists like us as we don't see this type of cars in the UK. However it would have been nice to have more European cars on display. The cars from Louis Martel to the coast were very interesting. Considering the hot weather it was nice to have some air conditioning inside.San Diego5.6km from Mid-CityFrom AU$ 28.15

8. Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum
3.610 Reviewsbased on 384 reviews西溪老翁San Diego Japan Friendship Park (Japanese Friendship Garden San Diego). There are Japanese parks in many cities in the United States. These Japanese parks are a bit similar and are also messengers to spread Japanese culture, increase Americans' understanding of Japan, and enhance the friendship between the two countries. Japanese parks are not big, but they have distinctive Japanese characteristics and are very delicate. San Diego Japan Friendly Park is in Balboa park in San Diego. San Diego and Yokohama are sister cities, so the park has become a symbol of friendship between the two cities. It is a bit different from Seattle, which has the oldest Japanese park in the United States. (The Japanese garden in Seattle was built with active fundraising from local Japanese people.) In 1999, the famous Japanese architect Takeo Uesugi completed the design of the Friendship Park, but it was not until 2015 that all his architectural ideas were implemented. Uesugi's design concept is fully guided by the principle of returning to the truth: Quqiao flowing water, stone lanterns, Japanese maples, pine trees, rhododendrons, teahouses, etc. Entering the park, immediately lamenting the Japanese ingenuity and love for nature.San Diego5.2km from Mid-City
