About
Someone wants to destroy Balboa Park. As Lead Botanist, you find a threatening note tied to the carousel and launch an investigation through San Diego's crown jewel. Follow the clues through 12 stops, from the hand-carved 1922 Carousel to the Spanish Village Art Center, the Rose Garden, and the wind-powered Bea Evenson Fountain. Decode ciphers, crack puzzles, and uncover a plot leading to the Spreckels Organ. Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start at the Balboa Park Carousel near Zoo Place. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace. You'll discover stories most visitors miss: a carousel still running on its 1922 motor, a lily pond vandalized by 1,500 water-gun fighters, a garden that was once a nudist colony, and the lion's roar that inspired the San Diego Zoo. Perfect for couples, friends, or families exploring Balboa Park beyond the usual route. About 2 hours, 12 stops across the park.
