美丽的池塘,分大小两个部分,倒映着对称的建筑,旁边有棕榈树和花,池塘以前用于二战伤员的疗养,现在只做游客开放用,非常适合拍照
Orchids galore! I was in heaven. One of the best displays of orchids I have ever seen. It was breathtaking.
Gorgeous flowers with interesting names from different places, all lovingly cared for and designed to allow for lots of photo opportunities
If you need an hour or two to relax and walk among nature (and tourists) then this is the place to go. Just walk around, take it all in, and relax. There's not much to it, but for me that was the whole idea. It was just a fun place to be and not have any agenda.
I LOVE at great botanical building, and San Diego's is up there. Even in chilly winter, the latticed dome and green quiet was an eden. I happily spent an hour and then the best surprise was right outside the doors. As I stopped to look down the lily ponds, I noticed the shrub right next to me had protection signs because it had monarch butterfly caterpillars feasting on it. So rad to see those yellow and black striped crawlers.
Special place at the park with an amazing collection including orchids and other greenery. Beautiful building and the lily pond out front is one of the signature photo opportunities in San Diego. Excellent.
This free attraction was a wonderful, cool oasis in Balboa Park along El Prado. There was a wonderful diversity of ferns, fronds, and orchids. Everything was well taken care of, and an amazing guitarist was outside playing by the lily pond.
We enjoyed the Lily Pond and Botanical building. However, it was not exceptional. It is smaller than others we have seen. We spent 30 minutes to see the beautiful orchids and take pictures. We are glad we saw it.
Don't know how long these will be on display but have NEVER seen so many gorgeous orchids in one place at one time. The lily pond out front was even graced with a live, drop-in white egret.
A walk through this building will refresh you. The varied colors of the orchids and flowers are breathtaking. The architecture of the building itself is worth exploring. The Lily Pond is a favorite spot for picture taking and beauty.
