Hello! Balboa Park is a city park, and is open 24 hours; the organizations within the park typically are open between 10 am and 5 pm. Depending on when you visit, there may be an event or show, and the Prado or Panama 66 restaurants may be open. The historic buildings are lit up at night as well. A few recommendations: Come on Wednesday night and hear live jazz and have dinner at Panama 66; look at the schedule for the Old Globe theatre, then plan a dinner at the Prado followed by a play; Friday nights during summer there are food trucks, live entertainment, and late hours at museums.
