Queen Califia's Magical Circle — Attraction in Escondido

I got taken here as a surprise on my birthday, and it was made even better because I had a dream before about snakes and got scared. And then a couple days later on a hike in Balboa Park, I saw a snake and I got scared, and I kept wondering why I was having all these things with snakes Next thing I know Friend called for a surprise on my birthday to take me to a place I would really love because I’m an artist. And we get there and it’s the most beautiful amazing under the trees sculpture garden of incredible mosaics of giant statues that sparkle and it’s surrounded by 20 or 30 feet brilliant mosaic snakes. And I just laughed and laughed and laughed because it was all about the creativity in this amazing place. There’s more to the dream and there’s more to the story, but I had the best day ever.

Its a beautiful little gem in the midst of...

Nestled in Escondido, Queen Khalifa's Magical Circle is a vibrant gem that delights visitors.
