Description
Skip the Line! One-hundred-thirty-four-years young, the San Diego Natural History Museum offers exciting, colorful, and interactive exhibitions. Focused on the southern California and Baja California region, these exhibitions combine contemporary science with multimedia art to deliver relevant take-home messages about the Earth's past, present and future. Your family will enjoy a 'spend the whole day' museum experience viewing major exhibitions, fine-art photography galleries, the Dinosaur Cafe, and giant-screen films shown every hour.

Giant-screen Theater is included in admission. Visit the website, www.sdnhm.org, to see the film schedule and learn more about the permanent exhibition, Fossil Mysteries, which uncovers secrets of 75 million years of this region-from dinosaurs to mastodons. Located in beautiful Balboa Park, this Museum is a flagship cultural institution of San Diego and is surely not to be missed.
