Balboa Park Explorer Passes:With support from The James Irvine Foundation, BPCP now offers a 1-day, multi-day, and annual pass for visitors the Balboa Park Explorer (the Explorer) providing general admission to all 16 museums in Balboa Park.

Additionally, the Explorer will provide more opportunities for the organizations to collaborate programmatically.

Community Engagement (Community and Military Access Passes):Balboa Park Explorer gives back to the community through the Community Access Pass (CAP) program, which provides the opportunity for underserved families, and now active duty military families, to experience the cultural and educational joys of Balboa Park. The CAP program partners with local nonprofits to distribute free annual Balboa Park Explorer passes to economically disadvantaged, at-risk, and traditionally underserved families. Established in 2017, the Military Appreciation Pass (MAP) program provides the same family passes to active duty military families living in San Diego County. Sixteen participating BPCP member organizations provide free admission to pass recipients.
