The best part about this museum is the building and the tower- I do love how much information they are able to pack in such a relatively small place; what is neat is that they make the information really easy to understand for all age groups and backgrounds. I really enjoyed learning about a variety of topics. They have several interactive displays too. I didn’t like how expensive it was for the amount of info and exhibits it has. I understand museums struggle with funding so I was ok paying for the entrance but it is a bit steep. I recommend researching to see if they have free days or discounted pricing.

I would rate this museum 5 stars if it were advertised as a children's museum more prominently. I think the interactive exhibits are perfect for kids and families, but there is not much novelty for adults here compared to other museums. The beer and monster exhibits were enjoyable, as was the race history and sociology/ anthropology section. I can't complain much, I would just say I don't feel compelled to visit again.

Several interesting and highly education exhibits. We spent 3-4 hours there. Also enjoyed the California tower which has a beautiful view of the park and city. The tour guide gives a short historical talk at the top of each flight so there is time to rest but even without the breaks, the climb is not hard.

I have been going to this museum since I was a girl. I always loved the evolution of man exhibits. I recently brought my children and was shocked to learn that the history of how human beings began and how they evolved is now gone. I can’t believe they have taken away the very root of how we began. In this day an age we need to reflect a bit on how we got to where we are, how resilient human nature is. Instead they have an exhibit on monsters and history of making beer. Very disappointed! Don’t bother!

This is an amazing museum. If you're going through the museum circuit of Balboa Park, make sure this is one of your stops. The museum has a collection ranging from all periods, to the fantastic, to the unbelievable. I especially enjoy the beer section.
