I love this old house downtown. Easily overlooked but worth the look around inside. So much history. Brochures explain each room inside or do the audio tour. This can be a quick visit in 30 min. Very cheap to enter. Oldest house downtown San Diego. It's also HAUNTED and been on TV for it's hauntings. Two story fully furnished from 1800's.

Nice heritage home well preserved. Interesting displays and collections. A nice chill place to visit as part of a walk through downtown.

It's a great museum to go visit. Lots of history in this house.

Nice museum that gives a peek into the history of an important San Diego family, but also on life in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

Fantastic place to go and learn a great deal about American and European automotive history. I have to say though, the Automotive Museum has a great collection of motorcycle and associated history. My favorite part of the museum were the bikes!!! A lot of great cars but an even better selection of bikes to learn about the history of motorcycle development. I highly recommend this museum to anyone that is going up to Balboa Park!

(Translated by Google) There are many classic cars on one floor. There are dozens of vintage motorcycles. You can also straddle the tattered Yamaha American (model unknown). The best recommendation is the Cadillac (?), Which has undergone a number of modifications, such as ironing, drinking water, and a bar where you can drink alcohol. Is "I see the world" flowing? Almost all exhibits are marked with "Do not touch", so don't touch them. (Original) ワンフロアーにクラシックカーがたくさん展示してあります。年代物のオートバイも数十台あります。ボロボロのヤマハのアメリカン（機種不明）にも跨がれますよ。一番のおすすめは、アイロンや水飲み、お酒が出るバーなど多数の改造が施されたキャデラック（？）ですが、なにが面白かったかというと、ビデオでその車を取材した数十年前の「なるほどザワールド」が流されていたことでしょうか。ほぼ全ての展示物に「Do not touch」と注意書きがされていますので、触らないでね。

Very nice historical walking tours available with a Victorian period, costumed guide. Highly recommended!

Visited here 07/21. I wish I could give this place more than five stars. I love historical homes that feel like a time capsule. And at $8 for admission (which they could easily charge double) you can't go wrong. Tours are self-guided with a flyer that gives you info on each of the rooms with furniture that date throughout the history the home was in use. I would love to do a guided tour next time I'm in San Diego or a haunted tour. They have a lovely little gift shop before you leave.

The Gaslamp Museum has an exciting exhibition, "A Splendid Decennium: Victorian to Vanguard." This special fashion exhibit will be on view until April 27, 2024. Textile artist Marty Ornish is a critically acclaimed designer who has won numerous awards, along with being featured in many museums and exhibitions throughout U.S. and Europe. In addition, Sandee Wilhoit, is an exceptional San Diegan historian, writer, and lead tour guide for the Gaslamp Museum. Sandee is a "Walking, Talking Encyclopedia" of San Diego. This fashion exhibit was very eclectic and inspiring. It was definitely a must-see showstopper. Finally, the entire staff of the Gaslamp Museum is so SWEET!

It will start out with the positive, it was great to see some the historic places on the walking tour, the guide gave good historic facts about the surroundings. As a medium and a paranormal investigator I was in awe of the fake gestures and lies told to make this seem better than the boring waste it was. The guide actually had everyone download a "ghost app" on their phones so they could see the ghosts around them, when the app would shout out a random name the guide would say, oh ya they visit often. Seriously!!! I saw two spirits while on the tour, one inside the museum the the guide (a self proclaimed paranormal investigator and experienced ghost communicator) never acknowledged at all, and the other in one of the other buildings we were observing. When asked why the group didn't get any responses while they were using the investigation equipment and only when she did, she said, "They know me" they won't always communicate with strangers and "They must be tired, they just aren't active tonight." I was so disappointed! I was hoping my friend that was with me could experience something paranormal. Don't waste your money!!!! They were late starting and people actually left the group because of the B.S.

It's a beautiful house with a thick history about ghosts. I had goosebumps while walking across the bathroom and hospital room, the 🎹 was creepy, too. Scary, but you need to visit once!

Smells looks like it was abandon then, they tried to restore with stuff they found at a garage sales. Sorry. But true

Did a haunted tour here at night and it was spooky

Great place to get to a bit of San Diego's history

I really enjoyed touring the oldest house in the gaslamp. It has a very interesting history and is worth the small donation! A must see when visiting San Diego!

It's a small museum but worth visiting. They provide self-guided pamphlet to read as you go through the rooms. However, you'll get the most out of it talking with the museum docent. On a Friday afternoon in October, they didn't have many coming in, so I was able to ask questions. The docent was very knowledgeable about the house and the surrounding Gaslamp District, whether it's historical or spooky hauntings. Also ask about Bum, the dog mascot. The gift shop is also tiny in the same room as admission is purchased. The courtyard outside is huge and seems like a nice area to rest of you've been walking around the Gaslamp all day.

Haunted? Maybe. However some of the "activity" comes down to the floorboards rocking chairs as you step near them. It is a great piece of San Diego history, however. I recommend giving it your patronage based on the historic merits of the home. If you happen to see any ghosts, that is an added bonus.

The man who built San Diego. Fascinating, as all such visionaries are!

A waste of time and money and an unpleasant experience to boot. All the rooms are roped off, plenty of folks skipped admission which was in a crammed office off to the left, and there were literally a dozen homeless people ornamenting the lawn, not even speaking to one another. You could tell they just lived there because it smelled like their bathroom.

It was okay but there is a good self guide leaflet.

Great historic location, if you don't know the history; Google it.

This visit was lovely, I spent a day in San Diego and didn't have the time or energy to run around which made this perfect. It is a quick visit that you can make if you just want a peek of history but also a place that you can take your time and explore little by little being marvelled by the historic details and gathered artefacts. Also the staff is super kind and friendly, made the environment the most agreable and even kept my huge bag safe while i visited to make the visit more comfortable.

It was nice to see but a bit small.

Quaint place. Pleasant staff

Interesting bit of San Diego history. Good for a 20-30 minute visit.

Nice to sit and enjoy the veiw

Ghosts, ghosts, and more ghosts👻😱👻😱👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Low price, lots of interesting things to see

Great museum of Gaslamp and courtyard park

Somewhat interesting, but not very informative.

Indifferent staff that was doing cleaning and vacuuming during the tour.

History on display at one of America's aviation manufacturing cities. From the Spirit of St. Louis to the birthplace of naval aviation, Consolidated Aircraft, Ruben H. Fleet, Ryan Aeronautical, General Dynamics. One of America's finest targets. Don't miss it.

An excellent museum San Diego Automotive Museum is in the amazing Balboa Park next to the Air and Space Museum. It is a nice museum with a big collection of awesome vintage cars and motorcycles, the museum is small but packed, the staff was helpful and nice, overall it was an excellent experience.

Honestly a letdown. I thought this would be a great museum and all but I have seen so many of the cars that were there and even have one more valuable then some of them. Also, the Plank Road display has so little information that I have read websites that had more info so it made that one pointless. The cars were in nice condition though.

Customer service was awful. People were disrespectful, rude, and incompetent. The amount of cars were not worth the price of admission.

An amazing place to graduate college!

Exciting, fun, informative. And there was activity in the house🥰 shout out to Dante with Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours. Covid19 compliant, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! take all the pictures and videos you want. Keep your phones on vibrate/silent when doing tours.

It was so interesting!!! Loved the history...Who knew!! I have lived in San Diego since 1969 but never knew about this historical place until about 5 years ago!!! So important to know and be able to experience San Diego's past! Plus it is incredibly haunted. While taking a picture of my friends in the courtyard, there were hundreds of orbs around them in the photo !!

Nice place to learn about the history of the Gaslamp. Staff is friendly.

Nice b Littlebpark across from Grand Horton hotel.

Fantastic location. Small but definitely a must if you are into history. Excellent staff.

Must see. Small but quaint. Packed with information about San Diego's rich history. Great audio tour. Particularly enjoyed the antiques in the kitchen. Don't forget to visit Bum the Dog!

The museum is a wonderful experience for visitors & locals

It's so amazing this place is still around. Must see museum.

Not handicapped accessible.

Beautiful little Pizza West Coast history

Interesting place to visit.

Good park too

Boo!!

Very interesting tour. I wish I'd gotten the book now.

Love SD history

Nice time capsule of late 1800s

Nice old home. Set up through the different periods of time it was inhabited.

Fun and lots of history about San Diego

Definitely worth a stop if you are seeing some of the other museums in the area and want to kill some time. This is not a huge museum but they do have a great collection of cars to see and they rotate most of the cars out every 4 months, so you might end up seeing something new and unique the next time you stop by. There are cars, motorcycles, and few old vintage cars. The museum has a collection that closely resembles some of the automotives that are shown on the History channel show American Pickers. If you're into older automotives then this is definitely a good place to check out.

As a car fanatic it is amazing. They give you information and quality cars. They make sure that the cars that are being borrowed are not touched or harmed. I cant wait to go their again when they rotate in new cars!

Small, but awesome. We super enjoyed our time here looking at these beautiful cars. Nice selection and some really interesting ones too.

This place is great! The cars and motorcycles are just awesome! We went when it opened at 10 and hardly anyone else was there. We were able to take our time and enjoy everything.

Wow, there are some really cool cars to see here! Unfortunately only half the museum was open the day we went and they were also taking more cars out while we were walking around. So many motorcycles to see also. Was a lot of fun to see such a great mixture of old and new cars plus lots of fun facts that I'd never heard before.

Pleasant experience! It's just the right size! The price was well worth it! The vehicles change several times a year with a fresh batch of cars! We look forward to going back again.

This museum was worth the money! Look for the 2 for 1 admission coupon on the counter of the International Gift Shop - just $12 for 2 people. They had the Low-Rider event going on with amazing detail of cars and art. The displays were very informative and choice of cars were superb. The gentleman who was there was so interesting with details & stories. This is a smaller museum but packed with good displays!

Great prices, cool cars. We only spent a couple hours here but I love cars and it was cool seeing all these older cars with all the history attatched to them. They had lots of lowriders when I went which I'll be honest is definitely not my thing but I appreciate all automotive craftsmanship. I kind of wish they had a bigger gift shop but I got a couple cool metal signs while I was here. Great motorcycle section of the museum also, I learned a lot about lots of different cars I didnt even know existed and I learned more about cars that I did know about. Would love to come back here.

Modest sized museum with a nice selection /variety of themes and marquees. A nice half day visit, currently emphasizing "rat rods".

This place is a definite must see ,I could go every day!

All museums are closed ❗️❗️❗️

Nice display of cars, and motorcycles.

A very impressive collection. The era-specific exhibits were really detailed and not just automotive. Excited to go back when the next set of exhibits rotates in!

Small but packed with awesome cars and motorcycles from movies as well

The DeLorean DMC-12... No words...

Good history of cars, motorcycles, other stuff to bring memories back.

Cool place to clean out the car until the sprinklers come on as you have everything outside and you have to scramble to gather it all up real quick like...

Great place for the family!

Quiet low stress place to visit during COVID-19. Good visual exhibits and information.

The only thing that I didn’t get ! Why you say that you are open if you are not IMAO ! Is it hard to change or what ? We came over there... but it’s been close ! That’s weird !

MY FATHER STARTED IT ALL BACK IN THE BEGGINING WHEN HE MOVED THE CLOGGERS OUT AND THE CARS IN. I ORGANIZED THE BIKES AND SPENT OVER 20 YEARS IN AND OUT OF HER.

A classic museum in Balboa Park

Awesome collection!

Super cool. It's a must in SD

Great selection of vehicles. Some iconic tv and film vehicles and other significant models and customisation. Friendly and informative staff. Can get up and close to see the vehicles.

(Translated by Google) Occupy going with time to enjoy the entire museum (Original) Ocupan ir con tiempo para disfrutar todo el museo

Brought that feeling any car lover gets

An interesting place if you like to see classic automobiles and motorcycles.

We throughly enjoyed the '70s exhibit!

Great look at classic cars as well as motorcycles. Worth swinging by.

Interesting

Not as good for the price when considering other museums in California as well as the Barber Vintage Museum in Alabama. Small assortment of vehicles and very difficult to find parking since it's shared with the air museum and yhe Prada. It took us over 30 minutes to park and if you have a disabled family member you won't even find an available disabled parking space.

Small museum but had lots of cool cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Parts of the museum were free on Tuesday so my friend and I went down to see the advertised cars. When we approached the advertised section of cars they wanted $2.00. The small amount of money was not a problem but advertising deceptively was a problem. I call it lying. Next time you advertise be honest. Just charge $5.00 for adults to see everything. That would be a deal.

(Translated by Google) Where to see different models and motorcycles (Original) 여러 차종과 오토바이를 볼 수 있는 곳

Kind of small but that would be good for younger kids...... If only they allowed strollers......

The cars were fantastic glad we went there just to look back in time looking at all the cars

Small eclectic assembly of cars, many motorcycles. We went on the "free" Tues. Guess what? It's not ENTIRELY free! They have a special section with an exhibit for $2.00. Now I know $2 is not much.But if they say it's free, it should be FREE. The reason for 4 stars. The cars on show are wonderful. The International harvester is the quintessential Horseless carriage. The Reo is early sophistication. The Cord is Glamorous and the Cadillac is substantial even back then. Nice way to spend the morning.

From Calgary alberta Canada

A car and motorcycle fan's dream. They recently had a low rider exhibit that I really enjoyed. The mainstays are great, historical and interesting. Love the three eyed Tucker and the old Indian and Harley bikes.

OMG Chipotle!

Loved this museum

Great atmosphere!

Great venue

No Beer

(Translated by Google) From any point of the auditorium there is good view, good place to attend a concert (Original) De cualquier punto del auditorio hay buena vista, buen lugar para asistir a un concierto

Always a Great experience! Staff is friendly and helpful...never had to wait too long to bowl...facility is clean! TWO THUMBS UP! (My kids love it too!)

Great food

Wasn't to packed very clean shoes were new bathrooms clean

Went on 5/11/2021 and it was closed. Only open for walk in's Friday and Saturday. In 1981 I worked on the property that the house was located on and the owner of the business donated it to the city. I watched the move and have other tidbits of information about it I wanted to share.

Well educated people present an incredibly well preserved piece of history.

Very cool. It's only $8 to walk around the house. Many old treasures to see.

A lovely small museum with friendly and knowledgeable docents. Better for older kids, but my younger ones also enjoyed visiting "a real old haunted house."

This place is not worth the money. I thought it was bigger than it actually was. I would love of knowing before hand mask were required. This is not worth hype true crime and paranormal fans.

a step back in time in San Diego - a house from a different time. easy to walk thru in 30-45 min. downstairs as additional interesting period items.

We visited many years ago in the evening. Didn't see or feel any paranormal activity but when got home and looked at photos we were shocked. The last photo we took of the stairs on the way out the door had a hug orb coming down the stairs with a man face in it.
