San Diego Museums

You’re going to love all the different San Diego Museums you’ll have to choose from if you’re one of those people who love museums. Whatever you’re field of interest may be, there is a museum waiting to take your breath away. Kids and grownups will be entertained by the vast selection of fun (yet educational!) museums located in San Diego County.

Some of our favorite museums include:

The New Children’s Museum is a wonderful place where kids can get a feel for the world. They offer art exhibits that will stir a child’s imagination, as well as a hands-on experience so that children can create their own works of art. The museum even offers art classes for both children and parents, allowing them to work with professional artists, in a wide variety of art forms. Their goal is to allow a child’s imagination to soar to new heights.

If you or someone you love has served in the military, you’ll love a trip through the USS Midway Museum. The USS Midway is one of the longest serving Naval Air Carriers in the United States, having seen everything from WWII through the Gulf War. Today, the USS Midway still works to honor her country as a living museum that the entire family will enjoy.

If you’re enjoying the sites of Balboa Park, you might want to check out the Museum of Man. Take a trip through the evolution of man, find out about ancient cultures such as the Maya and Egyptians, or learn about the Native Americans of Southern California. If you’re a history buff and want to know more about various ancient cultures, this is one museum you’ll want to visit.

Turn an ordinary trip into an experience you’ll never forget. With all the various San Diego museums to choose from, you know you’re trip will be one you’ll remember forever. Who knew education could be so much fun?
