There is some RV parking. This park does require a lot of walking but it's worth it. Taking a Park Ranger Tour will help you to get around the park without circling the same buildings more than once, like we did. And you can gain some history on the park and San Diego area as well. Most gardens and some attractions are free of charge. A big hit with the kids during the summer months is that they can wade in the fountain at Plaza de Balboa . . . more on Balboa Park San Diego California

The Balboa Park museum exhibitions are always changing. There are musicals, concerts, plays, and classes, and some of the finest big architecture to be seen anywhere. Admittance to Balboa Park grounds is free as is parking. There is some RV parking. Most gardens and some attractions are free of charge. Admission prices vary from $3 to $22 for the zoo.

If going to the San Diego Zoo, plan at least an entire day or two, especially if you are bringing kids along. It is huge and has heavy elevation changes, that means walking up hill a lot. If you can afford it, purchase the deluxe ticket that includes unlimited bus tours and sky lift. It is well worth it.
