3 months agoIt’s located right beside the Japanese garden. This is the World’s Largest Outdoor Musical Instrument! They’ve got several free outdoor concerts perfect for families and little one. Plenty of sitting area and for kids to roam around if they can sit still. If you’re in the area or in the Balboa park, definitely check them out. It’s quite an experience on its own. Pick a day with good weather and bring a hat.

a month agoSo cool! Stopped by for the weekly 2:00pm Sunday Concert and it was special to see. The performing artist was very talented and he played 6 entertaining songs. My favorite was the Sound of Music medley arrangement. The sun was intense, so I recommend wearing a hat or bringing an umbrella. There is lots of seating; people come and go as they please. The massive organ is truly impressive and the organist plays it very well. It’s also a nice spot to sit even when the organ is not playing. Check it out!

9 months agoThe free summer concert series at Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park is excellent. Live music (sometimes dancing) with the beautiful buildings of Balboa Park and sunset as your background.

8 months agoThis Organ is “The World’s Largest Outdoor Musical Instrument!” They have many free concerts hosted through the Spreckels Organ Society. It’s fun and family friendly!✨ If you are visiting San Diego, definitely check out the concert schedule and make sure to visit Balboa Park during the time they have a concert going!🎶 P.S. they have a size-able free parking right behind the building which is really nice.
