Culture enthusiasts may want to step into the San Diego Museum of Art or Museum of Photographic Arts."
"Balboa Park is more than just a green space in the city — it’s a cultural oasis — home to more than 17 museums, theaters, and the famous San Diego Zoo. There are several playgrounds and a miniature railroad to keep the kids entertained, and various restaurants and cafes to grab a bite to eat. The iconic botanical building is a lovely visit with thousands of plants and a lilypond."

"Where: 1955 Julian Ave, San Diego, CA 92113 An expansive former bread factory in Logan Heights is the home of Bread & Salt. To make things simple, you could call it an art gallery, though owner James Brown, an architect by training, bills it as an “experimental center for the arts with strong community ties.” Bread & Salt hosts visual arts and performances, along with educational events and artists-in-residence. For a peek, check out their Facebook feed."
"Bread & Salt (all 45,000 square feet of it) is a unique gallery that currently operates by appointment only. Also known as the Barrio Logan gallery, it has displayed the works of artists such as Melissa Walter, Kaori Fukuyama, and Alanna Airitam. The focus is on international artists here, along with events that can only be described as “eclectic.” Even though you have to make an appointment to visit, it’s well worth the effort."
