In the game
The rotunda, lagoon and colonnades are recognisably reproduced.
History in brief
Bernard Maybeck designed it for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. It was meant to be temporary, and the crumbling original was rebuilt in concrete in the 1960s.
The place today
The grounds and lagoon are free to walk around; the hall behind is used as a theatre and event space.
Always check opening times, access rules and travel advice before you go.
