Very well maintained and equipped history centre. It is inside the Balboa Park and every hour there is a documentary film playing giving information about how Balboa park was formed. Very impressive.

Nice visit here. Be sure to watch the Balboa history video. They can turn on the closed captioning, upon request. Nice collection of art and displays of San Diego's history, particularly the Balboa Park. A few areas for kids that they would enjoy. No admission charge but appreciate a cash donation. Worth a visit!

First, I really appreciate the staff and the volunteers who have created an incredible museum. Thank you! I came here a few years ago and it was basically the history of San Diego from the White American perspective. That's been condensed and moved to the back corner of the museum and the rest is devoted to BIPOC exhibits. While I appreciate this change, I think maybe it's swung too far in the other direction and just seems to really have jumped on the "woke" bandwagon. It might be worth trying to present a somewhat less politicized history.
