Balboa Park Electric Scooter Tour with Pictures

Overview

Join me on a journey through one of San Diego's most iconic places. Since this park is large, we will be touring the major sites with the wind in our hair on electric scooters. No walking required ;)

The first stop will be the beautiful botanical building and lily pond where we will pause for some pictures. Next, we will briefly cruise to the entrance to the San Diego Zoo before heading to the Spanish Village Arts Center. We will then scoot to the Morton Bay Fig Tree. It's then time to ride down the iconic El Prado passing fountains & museums along the way. After a quick stop, we will head past the International cottages on our way to the air and space museum. We will wrap up at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion before heading back to where we started.

Photos of your adventure are included!

Highly recommend, especially if you're not familiar with the area. It was a fun and relaxing event that introduced alot of other activities to do afterwards. Jesse was very knowledgeable of the area and had very good recommendations.

The Balboa scooter tour is a great way to get familiar with what the park has to offer. Our tour guide (owner/operator) Jesse, was awesome, very warm/friendly and knowledgeable about the the park and its history. My wife and I loved the experience, highly recommend it, already planning another trip bringing the kids this time.
