Cottage
The House of Denmark is one of the cottages in the International Village in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. Located off President’s Way between the Organ Pavilion and the Air & Space museum, the village was originally built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. See this historic flyer for more details about the Exposition.
People
The House of Denmark is also an organization that calls the cottage its home. We are a group of Danes, Danish-Americans, their families, and others with ties to Denmark who come together to celebrate our heritage, culture and holidays.
Community
The House of Denmark joins 32 other “House” organizations representing different countries to form the House of Pacific Relations, which acts as the government of the International Village and works to promote multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural programs.
Visit
The House of Denmark is usually open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The address is 666 Pan American Road West, San Diego, CA, 92101. Please come by and enjoy some Danish hospitality.
I have a nephew visiting from Denmark for the month of October. I would like to know if there is community in the age of 14 to whom he may communicate. We live in Encinitas area. If you know of someone who would like to assist him with studies that would be wonderful. His name is Adam. I do not speak Danish but his father does. My name is Antionette. Thank you.
