Contemporary art space with exhibitions & events showcasing artists working in the local area.

😐 Very beautiful and unique build. Promoted as a "haunted" historical landmark. It's historical... Interesting beginning and history. I would recommend touring for the architectural aspects. It was a longer your than we expected and was not ideal for anyone who has issues standing for long periods.

😐 Nice little place, about what you expect with a donation only entrance. I think that it felt a little more like an art museum where there was huge amounts of space not efficiently utilized. If the goal was history of San Diego, there were things that met that goal; however, a great deal more could...

Open since 1996, museum celebrating Chinese-American culture & art in a restored mission building.

👍👍 The 1898 Berkeley was one of two steam ferry boats that operated on San Francisco Bay for 60 years. During the big 1906 earthquake, it rescued thousands of people and took them to safety. -- The ferry arrived at San Diego in 1973, and now is the headquarters for the Maritime Museum and holds its res...

👍👍 If you haven't stopped by here yet, It's time you do. There are always a variety of textile arts to enjoy. If you are lucky the piece you like most might be for sale. Check their website for info on current shows and upcoming opening nights.

👍👍 The building has a historical charm. I could well imagine the life of the family.

👍 2023: hidden in plain sight on Park Blvd in Universiry Hts. Lots of vintage cars, maybe 30, and I mean really vintage. $10 entry. They also have collections of trains, cameras, clocks as well as other things. The lighting could have been better they tend to store extraneous stuff in the back seats i...

😠 Just terrible. This wouldn't be so bad if it was free admission, but they're actually charging $30 at the door per head plus a $3 fee for each ticket. On top of that, you have to pay an extra $30 if you want to see the exclusive Spider-Man exhibit. I can't speak to the Spider-Man exhibit because I...

😐 The stones are shiny, colourful and beautiful but the variety and quantity of the stones are too small to make this a 'museum'. Very little information is provided on the name, origin, dating etc of the stones. Unless you are knowledgable and interested in stones, it will not be a memorable visit fo...

👍 The San Diego Archaeological Center is small so you can see everything in about 15 minutes or take about an hour to read everything on every display. I was the only person in the Center for most of the time I was there. I thought the Center was interesting and I learned a few things. On the other...

👍👍 If you want to visit a piece of history and movie history, this is the ship to visit. This ship was used as the main character of the movie Master and Commander.

Museum focusing on women's history with an extensive archive of California-focused artifacts.

👍👍 This historical site has been expertly restored and is being maintained by the San Dieguito River Park organization. It's a great example of governments working together. The docents in each area of the tour were very pleasant and knowledgeable with a nice dose of humor. The history of the homestead...

👍👍 House full of American history.

👍👍 San Diego police historical museum. Covers all sdpd information, memorials for deceased, photos of value, gift shop. Lots of great information.

👍👍 If you happen to be in San Diego, you must visit this place. Incredible

👍👍 If you read through my reviews you will see me say this over and over. I can't believe the low ratings. My daughter in law and I had so much fun. I had been to the WNDR museum in Chicago with my son and we had a great time, so when I took this trip with his wife, we decided to check this location ou...
