The House of Pacific Relations International Cottages is a complex of cottages in San Diego's Balboa Park, in the U.S. state of California. Built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, they currently house 33 groups that "promote multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural programs". Groups that do not have their own cottage meet in the nearby Hall of Nations. The United Nations Association of San Diego operates separately out of the neighboring United Nations Building.
In 2021, the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages expanded, adding new cottages for Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru, India, Korea, Palestine, Turkey, and the Chamorros (indigenous people of the Mariana Islands).
Cottages
There are 33 cultures represented in the park represented by 32 cottages, and currently the park is in the process of building five more cottages representing nine more cultures.
