"The Botanical Building is great to walk through and enjoy all the different plants, especially the flowers. It’s not too big, but they’ve got a nice variety of plants to see. The Lily Pond is also beautiful, and it’s nice to just relax on the ground around these two and enjoy the sun and the people walking by, or take a little nap after enjoying the museums at Balboa Park! It’s also a great spot for a picnic! Really nice on a sunny day!"
