There’s no better time to be a kid in San Diego than in the month of October.
In October, kids 12 and under receive free admission at many art, cultural, and science museums and historical sites in San Diego County.
Check out a new destination or an old favorite. Kids Free in October gives families the opportunity to enjoy new museum experiences each year. Visit SanDiego.org to view participating museums and terms.
*Some museums charge fees for special exhibitions, programs or films. Some museums may limit offer use to once per month per guest. Purchase of a Balboa Park Explorer Pass does not qualify as a paid adult admission for the Kids Free in October program.
