Reviewers report no entry charge, with artists working in their studios around tiled courtyards. Most spend half an hour to an hour. It closes early in the day, so leave time. Restrooms drew a complaint for cleanliness. One reviewer walked through on a busy Saturday and it was not overcrowded.
Colorful Balboa Park courtyard of working artist studios where kids can watch artists create.

This place is a vibrant artistic hub. Loved it! I really loved their tilework, arched walkways, and the courtyards. The place is full of historic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and houses, and there are numerous artist studios and galleries in each one and in the middle. Some artists are working there live and it's easy to buy unique handmade crafts, paintings, sculptures, souvenirs, jewelry, and more. Several photo ops!

Can not describe how wonderful this was! So many artists working on their craft right then & there, great for gifts to take back home. They close early so give yourself plenty of time to explore all the nooks & crannies.
