Balboa Park isn't all Spanish architecture and giant pandas; the urban acreage also offers ample sightseeing for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the greens, and then pick up speed -- varoom! -- at the San Diego Automotive Museum: o $12 ($24 value) for a family admission package, valid for two adults and two kids Horsepower in the Park The idea of creating an automotive museum in Balboa Park came from Briggs Cunningham, a renowned collector and racer. After a one-million-dollar renovation of a historic building in the Pan American Plaza, the SDAM opened in late 1988. Today, the museum stands as a tribute to the automobile's role in American culture, with permanent exhibits that range from showstoppers like a 1911 Ford Model T Speedster to a classic Studebaker that was discovered after sitting in a shed in Imperial Beach for four decades. During your visit, you can see the Indian collection, check out Louie Mattar's 1947 Cadillac (equipped with an electric stove, refrigerator, ironing board, and more), and stop by Pick 'Em Up: a current exhibit dedicated to pickup trucks.
