SCHEDULE

Check in 2:15pm-2:25pm, group will check in with host on the front steps of the Timken Museum. Grab a name tag and relax with other members of the tour group.

Guided Art Tour starts at 2:30pm Sharp. Our museum guide will meet us in the front and take us for a 45min art tour through the Timken Art Gallery.

Rotating Team Friending Walk (~3:15pm): After we finishing up at the Museum, the group will make a brief pit stop at the Balboa Visitor center for a bathroom and refreshment break and then take off together on a rotating team friending walk along El Prado for around 30-40min. During the walk, groups will be broken up into teams of 3-4 for people to walk for around 10 minutes per round and given a light hearted conversation question and a trivia question (related to the tour or a general question about San Diego). At the end of each round, the group members from each walking group will be reassigned so that by the end of the walk, everyone has a chance to meet everyone in the group.

At the conclusion of the walk, guests are invited to continue mingling at the park.

Where do I park? Ample parking is found around Balboa Park. It’s been a little convoluted with the paid parking rules. Regular paid parking is $10/4 hours at the lots closes to the museums. Payment made a free standing Kiosks. Free 3-hour parking is found in Lot 3 which is a bit of a trek, but has a tram shuttle. There’s also the option of getting a San Diego City Resident permit pass for the rest of the year for “free parking” (processing fee $5.00) online for both lot 2 and Lot 3 and discount parking at Lot 1 directly from the City of San Diego. For  more information, please visit https://www.sandiego.gov/parking/balboapark. Other options include Uber/Lyft. In January 2027, parking will be free once again.
