This place was super fun! Had plenty of photo opportunities in it which was fun. I can't remember the lady working at the front desk but she was awesome! So kind and polite. The place was clean and well laid out. Bathrooms were clean.

This place was really great. Showed some really interesting history about old town San Diego law enforcement. It's a walk through museum but it is very well kept.

This place is awesome. Just a happy Saturday Trip to Old Town Diego

It was actually very cool! They have a lot of rooms filled with history and they let you touch everything! Great place for adults and children

Best 5 bucks you will ever spend. This deserves 10 stars! I never knew about this gem until I saw a post of a "Heaven's Gate" cult display on Instagram and that's when I discovered Sheriff's Museum in San Diego. For those who are interested in military or law enforcement history, this is an excellent place to check out. Go see it! I also like give an extra $5 donation just because this is such a special unique and interesting display for generations to enjoy. I highly recommend when in Old Town for kids maybe 10 and up but not a place to bring little ones though.

Great little museum.. only 5 bucks.. very good staff and great fun

Very cool museum that seems like it gets overlooked as it sits a bit off the main Old Town path. Only $5 entry and a very interesting, fun, and interactive hour.

Working in the profession I had to stop in. We made this part of our family vacation. The kids had fun walking through the museum and learning so much. Even trade some swag. Stop by....

Very informational. Interesting museum with lots of displays. Retired sheriff's deputy at the end available to ask questions to. Great resource and interesting stories!

I like the gun safe and the interactive Museum but I would like a guide every now and then I had questions but it was really fun

I have been never been in this museum despite many trips to Old Town. It is worth the $5 for adults. Children under 12 are free. You can take selfies in the jail, booking photo booth, and line-up, and costumes like flight suit, judge gown, and sea rescue, and in the small helicopter. There is a gun room where one display asks you to find the real gun among many toy guns. The real gun is difficult to find. There are interesting displays upstairs including how DNA was found at the crime scene and linked to the criminal and what meth does to a person. If you are in old town you should check it out especially if you have children or teens who might be interested.

Excellent!!!! History of The Sheriff's Department from 1850 to present. Very informative and very interesting! If you're planning a trip to Old Town San Diego, don't miss the opportunity to visit this Awesome Historical San Diego County Sheriff's Museum!

Pretty much the entire history of the San Diego Sheriffs dept. complete with antique photos and vintage artifacts..great for the history enthusiast

This brings education to everyone

Great museum, even greater staff! Greetings from Belgian Tourists

A very interesting experience and enlightening about what law officers go through. I had a nice visit.

Great place to visit. The staff is very nice and helpful

Very educational. Any kids interested in law enforcement as a future career will love it. Also great exhibits on some of the famous crimes and events.

Great time. So much information and a great place for kids with supervision!!!

Amazing experience and in-depth insight into the law enforcement community, and history. I would highly recommend this place to anybody in old Town

Educational

Interesting!!

Very informational

Went there with our w adult daughters with special needs. They loved it

Thank you very much for creating an exhibit on the Heaven's Gate Cult. I came all the way from Indiana to see it and it did not disappoint. I also appreciate the friendly staff and the affordable admission price. Job well done on this museum. Highly recommended.

What a great experience we had during our visit last October The staff was amazing and we had an ex sheriff that showed us around for a good couple of hours, our kids won't forget this day ever. Highly recommended to people of any age

Best $5 I've ever spent. The guide Max was so informative and entertaining! Great place

Nice small museum dedicated to the police department of San Diego

Quite informative and interactive. I liked the information about the first Sheriff particularly.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Sherrif's museum 2 years ago, so your milage may vary with regard to social distancing guidelines. There are many photo opportunities ro be had here, along with all the history regarding San Diego's battle with crime across the years. This is a fun place to visit especially if you have a child that is interested in this sort of thing, as there are police cars and other props they can climb in (or could, as with current world events this might not be offered any more). There are some more serious sections of the museum where an inquisitive child might get you to answer more pressing life situations. But nothing that would scar a child for sure. (Take my advice with a grain of salt. I don't have kids at the time of writing this review) Either way this is a great stop in old town and you should check it out.

KINDA COOL ! My wife and I were walking past here on Sunday while heading to a nearby shoe shop. The place was closed ...probably due to the pandemic shutdown so I took a few pics from the sidewalk. The old cop cars looked cool !

What an amazing experience

So much fun and educational

Friendly staff, learned a lot about our local law enforcement.

Great Sheriff's history prop and work equipment.

It was great, retired deputies were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I'll return again.

Very cute and interesting place to visit.

Educational and interactive.

Dave was pretty funny

Lots of History and a great LGBT exhibit.

Very interactive and informative.

Fun for $5

Fun and interesting place to visit. Good exhibits and only $5 to go inside.

Fascinating insight into local law enforcement in Old Town since the first sherrif.
