The entire month of October children ages 12 and under can enjoy free admission to more than 50 museums, aquariums/zoos, gardens, state parks, historic sites and other family-friendly attractions throughout San Diego County.
Some of San Diego’s most popular sites, including the USS Midway Museum, Fleet Science Center, Birch Aquarium and San Diego Air & Space Museum, and several other cultural institutions are free for children twelve and under. Some locations are free for the entire family or offer pay-what-you-wish admission year-round.
A full list of participating museums can be found on the San Diego Museum Council website.
