A fabulous venue for Entertainment. It's located in the heart of the Gem of Dan Diego, Balboa Park. Parking can be a challenge so plan to be there with plenty of time before your show.

Beautiful architecture for once. It’s a nice building to admire and a good break for the somewhat bland American building styles. Granted it’s probably built by the Spanish back in the day but none the less a great place to go to. I hear the theater is very nice and worth a visit inside. Also be sure to check out the fig tree on on the other side of the street.
