Absolutely LOVED experience here. My daughter enjoyed every second of it. Museum has 4 stories but best one was 2nd story. So spend most of the time there. Also 50% OFF at 4:00 pm (1 hour before close). Usually it takes 1 1/2 hrs at normal speed. But with 60 min we were able to see everything but had to go bit fast!!

My boyfriend and I went here for his birthday! It was a nice relaxing day! We explored the whole museum except for the gem room at the bottoms floor. It was closed. We loved the taxidermy, models, skulls, and books! We love animals, so this was a great place to visit!

We enjoyed our visit to this museum. If you like science you are likely to enjoy this place. If you have kids surely they will love it. A good place for a science teacher to tour the kids.. We went to museum of arts as well. Oh I love San Diego!

The cost for an adult ticket is $26. There are several interesting rooms to explore including a live laboratory. Please don't bang on the glass. Some of the rooms are more journal or reading rooms. These are not bad, but if you are tired they are not that interesting.
