Built in San Diego for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park is made up of more than 1,000 acres and offers 15 museums, various gardens, arts and international culture associations, as well as the San Diego Zoo. Many of the museums along Balboa Park's Prado are housed in magnificent Spanish Colonial Revival buildings. It was the first time the highly ornamental architectural style had ever been used in the United States.
